They really stand behind their work, you can be assured they are using quality parts (many with warrantee) so you for sure get what you pay for.

I have been using Engine Works for many years. The best auto repair service I have ever used. They do the warranty work on my lexus suv. No trip to the dealer - Yay! The owner, Eric, is The Expert on Diagnostics and Repairs!! Vince, the service manager, is excellent at scheduling, paper work, communication, etc.

Vincent is always thorough with the paperwork prepared for my service. Ive taken my vehicles to Engine Works countless times, and each time the focus is on my service or repair, a professional. I appreciate the honest feedback after a service. I highly recommend this shop for your vehicle needs!

Eric definitely goes the extra mile for you.

Graet service. Car runs great.

15000 mile checkup great Price great service I will continue to use this local auto shopl.p.

What everyone wants. A place that they can trust to do the work necessary and do it well at a fair price.

As always, Engine Works did a great job. Timely, friendly, competent. They keep us rolling!

I sort of inherited this garage when I bought my used Prius because they had serviced it since brand new. At the time I did not have a trusted mechanic in alameda so I decided to give them a try when it was time for a service. I have not been disappointed in these past three years. They consistently do good work, stand by their work, and never recommend unnecessary jobs. I’m sure some garages out there are a bit cheaper (you get what you pay for) but this is not a place that will rip you off. Both my wife and I are treated with respect and courtesy when we drop off or pick up a vehicle. Highly recommended.

I took my car here for a diagnostic and they were able to figure out the problem quickly and efficiently. Very responsive team and helpful. I am very thankful they were able to fix my car in a timely manner. I will be using engine works again in the future.

I really love this shop, all of the staff are very friendly & seem to know what they’re doing. They are straight up with you & fair. & will let you know if it’s necessary to spend money on something you can live with for now. I highly recommend this place, they haven’t failed me yet & I’ve been coming here for 2 years now. Vince (The Owner I believe) has great customer service.

Took the car in for a warranty repair other shops never properly diagnosed. Vince the service writer was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Handled all of the paperwork and payments for us from our warranty company. Vince explained what they found and how EW fixed it. They have apparently solved the problem, and I would send anyone there for car repairs.

GREAT service at fair prices. Importantly, I feel they prioritize safety, while never feel pressured to spend more than I need to. Highly recommend.

I came to Engine Works after being estimated a crazily high price at Honda El Cerrito (> $2k). Engine Works took my car, checked the recommendations from the other service and figured out that most of the stuff doesnt need to be done. They also discovered and fixed what the other service didnt notice and charged me only a couple hundred dollars for the whole service. They were nice, communicative and fast. They also gave me a ride after I dropped the car. I purely love this auto service! Will come only to them next time!

Great guys. Friendly, prompt, quality work at a good price. I’ve gotten a transmission swap and oil changes from them, and never felt like I’m being up-sold on anything. They’re my go-to shop, and can’t really ask for more.

They are no-nonsense and professional. It’s a rare thing to have a shop you trust.

The people at Engine Works are fantastic!My car would not start and being from out of state I did not know where to go. I found this shop on Google and chose them because they have good reviews. They very quickly diagnosed and repaired my car for a very fair price.I highly recommend the shop to anyone in need of automotive repairs.

Fine service and reliable mechanical services. We have been using Erics Engine Works for many years. His staff are well prepared to troubleshoot and guarantee all repairs. We have had six different vehicles over the years maintained by Engine Works and have been highly satisfied by all work performed.

Did a smoke check here on 10/25/2018 on my Mazda 3 and happy with service from R em and his team. Good technical, proffesional work and clean facility. Their price is great compare to Freds W. The only downside is parking surrounding area.

Ive taken all four automobiles that we own in our family to Engine Works over the past 8+ years. Brakes, transmission repair, oil changes, electronic evaluations and repair, etc. Eric and his crew there are excellent at what they do. They are highly qualified in auto repair and service and have always been honest with their opinions. They are not out to waste your money. They are out to make sure you are driving an automobile that is safe and qualified to be on the road. We will continue to use Engine Works and have guided a number of friends and neighbors to them.

Good shop... Capable, decent pricing and offers park and key drop. Very handy with a crazy schedule, or when vehicle issues usually appear (after-hours).

Its so great to find a auto repair business you can trust. Eric always stays up to date with the latest tech on repairs. I have taken three different cars to him over the years. I cant see myself using anyone else. Hes not just a business owner hes a neighbor.

Great Value!!! You will be treated with respect and honesty!!! The work will be explained and given estimate of work needed. They stand behind their work!!! A clean work space is always indicator of a good Craftsman: Engine Works is Clean and Organized!!! Tell them Brian and Drew sent you!!!

As I was leaving California to go to Arizona, I needed to ensure that both cars were sea worthy. Eric and team did what was necessary to ensure safety while factoring in cost efficiencies. The cars were done before the time promised. I have never been disappointed in their work..

Keeping my 14 year old Buick purring. They are kind, honest, and the best. No, Im not a relative although Id be proud to be. Im just a lady of a certain age who feels blessed not to have to worry when my car needs work. My two adult sons echo this praise. Good guys, proper work. Thank you, Lyn Lucasey

Simply Stated .. The Best care and service. There is no question that when your car is in the hands of Engine Works, you havent any worries or concerns. The work will be done correctly, in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. They have been my go to mechanics for many years.

My thanks to Rem for figuring out the simple, no cost solution to my parking brake problem.Rob

Wonderful service from an honest and competent auto shop.

Their usual good, competent, methodical, honestly priced work. Id say honesty is a significant part of their values.

Ive gotten work done here a few times and have always been really happy with the work they do. I love their early/late drop off option- just fill out the form, leave you key and put it in the box. Their work is always done in a really timely manner and I never feel like Im getting the run around from the mechanic. As a woman who knows nothing about cars I sometimes feel like I might be getting ripped off. But never with these guys. Super professional and friendly!

I dread taking my cars to mechanics. The team at Engine Works alleviates that feeling by being fair, courteous, and prompt. Pricing is average and I havent felt like Ive been recommended services that werent necessary.

Looking for a battery for my wife’s car. They have it in stock. Wouldn’t let me use a simple tools to remove the existing battery. I am buying a $124 battery, and wouldn’t “lend me a tool”, that cost $4 to remove the old battery, while I am there.So, needless to say: I bought it some where else.Never mind I am a AAA member and was referred to them.Definitely not coming back or recommend do to lack of good customer service.

Only place the tow truck company I worked for would go. They arent pricy, but damn do they take care of you. If only I didnt treat them like my dentist and wait till something fell off before going back.

Great people. Great service. Great advice. And am absolutely satisfied with their work!

Fast, efficient, good pricing, and clear communication. Will definitely come back again.

Nice clean work and car was ready as stated. Alright, it was only an oil change, but still not a smudge of oil inside the car. However, I am still waiting for estimate for repairing my car. I guess that takes a while.

My experience with Engine Works Inc. has been that they do good work at a fair price and will go out of their way to satisfy their customers.

Very good repair shop. We take all our cars here, great customer service.

Theyre knowledgeable about your car and what it needs to get you back on the road. Great customer experience!

I wish I could give then a 5, but I had a terrible experience here. I brought my scion XB into engine works. They drained the fluid, but forgot to put it back in. Braking my practically brand new vehicle. Eric tried covering it up, but the damage had been done.

They are the best in town , they always go above and beyond to do the job right , been going to them for 20 years and Never had a problem , from oil changes to gas tank replacement , they do it all

Fixed the problem I went in for. Found an additional problem, told me about it, and fixed it. Service was professional and quick. Final cost was same as verbal and written estimate given earlier

Eric, the owner, and Vince, one of the mechanics, were great. I first had my vehicle smogged there a couple years ago and got a good feel about them and the service. I made a mental note to return should I ever need a mechanic. Recently, I started having some serious issues with my beloved Miata i.e. loud rattling, hesitating, stalling, and smoke from the exhaust. I stopped by to make an appt and Eric got me in the very next day. I left the vehicle with them overnight and got the diagnosis and estimate in the morning. Although a lot of work was needed and parts had to be ordered, it was all done in less than 2 days and I was able to pick it up after business hours. Most importantly, I felt the cost was reasonable and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend Engine Works and will definitely be using their services in the future. ‪#‎engineworks‬

Had an engine replacement and front brake rotor replacement done. Excellent service, great work and fair price.

If you take your car here, make sure you dont leave ANY valuables in it. Had my items stolen when I took my car in for an oil change.

Always great service

They are awesome, reliable and reasonable! Great experience!!!!

Just a professional team with a smile who also advised me clearly about diagnostic and cost of services.Thanks

Good work...

Good quality work
