Christian has always respected my family and I whenever we need our cars serviced. He takes the time to explain what the issues are and what service may be needed. We have never felt pressured into anything and he respects thoughtful questions about the service. Trusted team and I recommend/refer all my friends to him.

I went there twice for general maintenance and both times I was very pleased. I never felt like they were trying to pressure me, and have me honest assessments of my car. Of I still lived in the area, I would continue going there.

Super knowledgeable AC repair center. Took an older Nissan in for an AC overhaul and they provided a quick turnaround that was under budget! Friendly and trustworthy people here that are passionate about their work.

Dan and Christian are very knowledgeably in every aspect of repairing your car. They have maintained my BMW from the day I bought it and I will not take it anywhere else. This shop is Top Notch with Master Techs!

Christian and Dan are the most professional, knowledgeable and accommodating car people ever! They maintain professionalism, demonstrate a deeper understanding of car maintenance than most all other shops! Their ethics and concern for their clients are unparalleled. I highly recommend MPG auto for anyone looking for an honest and experiences mechanic that can out perform the competition! The are also among the most reasonably priced shops around!!!!

Well, there are definitely not friendly. I just asked how much time it will take to do an oil change and the receptionist reacted like I was attacking him.

I never write reviews but I feel like it’s so difficult to find an honest and trustworthy mechanic in the area— especially as a woman. I got my smog test and oil change here on behalf of my partner and the process was clear, straightforward and efficient. MPG had made some recommendations for the car along with a detailed invoice but since my partner was out of town, he decided against it and we paid for just the smog and oil. Not once did I feel pressured into paying for something I wasn’t comfortable with and my questions were always met with patience and kindness from the front desk. Think I might’ve found my go-to mechanic 😌

After a quick call to check for a smog appointment, this procrastinator (registration due in 3 days) was happy to hear that MPG had immediate availability. Christian was super polite and professional, and the service was very efficient. Im glad I found MPG online, and that their excellent service really does match their high ratings!

I like their attitude of service , I found a good coupon for transmission fluid change . I decided to give it a try for my Prius and I am glad I did. They performed well and professional, didnt promote me any un necessary service. The actual bill is less than original estimate. Right on-time as they promised to get it done. The facility is also clean and well maintained.. Good shop.. Recommended..

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. They are always very clear about the work being done with my vehicle and when I can expect it to be completed. I always trust these folks for maintenance and repairs. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Christian and Dan are honest, excellent mechanics. I took my Ford Focus there for some routine (and non-routine) work. They were very honest every step of the way and worked on a fair and reasonable pricing structure. I will definitely go back and recommend them to anyone who needs a good mechanic. Thanks guys!

Review №24

People say one needs to have 3 professionals in the family-- a doctor, a lawyer and an auto mechanic. MPG folks, in my humble opinion, can fill that family auto professional role. They are honest (recommend only whats needed) and great auto mechanics. Christian was the person I talked on phone. He was really good and true to the reviews I had read by then.He quoted a price over the phone which was really good. When I brought my car in, he realized that he had under quoted the work. However, he honored the quote and did the work and excellent work at that. My car runs really great after the service. I am grateful for the good work and highly impressed with the integrity, the level of expertise and their love of cars and good service. I will certainly return for future needs. Thanks Christian!

Good and quick. Better schedule first through online form on their website. I did SMOG test for $40 (inc. certificate). Blended oil change/simple services is around $40-50.

Review №27

Very impressed with my first visit to MPG. They were very attentive, even responding when I emailed on the weekend while they were closed (which is NOT something I would ever expect). I brought a car in to prepare for selling it, and they gave me some helpful advice and probably the quickest oil change Ive ever had. And the oil change sticker is SUPER legible. Its a small, but helpful detail. Definitely recommend MPG Auto Service.Beware the parking lot is small so its best to make an appointment.

Review №28

These guys are absolutely pros. I had a transmission issue with a 2009 Pontiac Vibe, a somewhat unusual car, and had trouble finding someone to work on it. I called MPG, and they said that (a) they had seen this issue before, (b) it was common to this particular car, and (c) they had ideas on how to repair it. They did the repair very quickly, then when the issue recurred (no fault of theirs) they fixed it again, for free. In addition, they give my car a thorough once-over every time I bring it in. They noticed, for example, that when Id gotten my oil changed that the cap on my engine had been incorrectly replaced, and they fixed it for free. Theyre great at communication and totally honest. A rare find.

Christian and team are honestly the best in the Bay Area. I moved outside of Mountain View and tried multiple mechanics closer to where I live and I havent found anyone that comes close to MPG! Theres no one I trust more to work on my car. They are kind, trustworthy, and attentive. What more could you ask for in a mechanic?! Highly recommend!

Review №30

It is difficult to find a mechanic you trust. I would highly recommend MPG Auto. The mechanics are skilled. Each time I took my vehicle in for an issue, it was resolved quickly and completely. In my experience with other mechanics, I would take my car in, they fixed it, but the issue was not resolved, and I had to return soon after. This is not the case with MPG Auto. Moreover, when I have taken my car in for service, the car was usually ready in about 35 minutes. Again, at the dealership or other mechanics, it was common for me to wait hours for my car to be fixed. Christian is very friendly and remembers details about you which makes you feel like he sincerely cares about you as a customer. Thank you, MPG Auto!

Fast service and prices. Only issue is that their computer system shares information with Carfax, which then shares info with your insurance company which wasnt disclosed.

Review №33

This mechanic is great! Christian, one of the owners, is very helpful and easy to work with.When I was already a customer, and was buying a “new to me” car, they did a free inspection and found a number of suspicious maintenance issues. Saved me from buying a bad car!Thank you Christian and everyone else at MPG Auto!!

Christian and his team have been a consistently honest and excellent shop to deal with. Ive been taking my cars to him for years and never feel taken advantaged of. They do great work and are always upfront about options and cost.

Review №35

Went here to get a rattling sound fixed. Turns out it just required some new bolts, which they did for the reasonable price of 0.00$. They’ve definitely earned our trust, and we’ll be back for future repairs. Really phenomenal place for car service.

Review №38

Christian and his team are great! Since coming across their shop last year, I wont go anywhere else for my 2004 Subaru Forster. They are honest and will only recommend what is needed and then only charge me for the work done. If I can wait on a particular repair, Christian will tell me. They almost always are able to fit me in last minute if I am willing to drop off the car for the day. They are about 2 blocks from the Mountain View caltrain and light rail station so its really convenient. They can communicate and send a link to the estimate by text, such is so helpful for me, as Im in meetings all day and rarely am able to pick up a call. But I can text questions and review the quote and approve all without needing to call! So awesome! The work they have done for me so far (major tune up, repair oil leak, replace alternator) has held up with no problems. I highly recommend MPG Auto!

Review №40

In short: Best mechanics in Mountain View!Longer version: Dan and Christian rock! They would point out repair thats necessary to make, but not exaggerate the condition. When they do the job, its awesomely done. Below are my projects done at MPG: smog check, catalytic converter replacement, AC leak fix, tire rotation, AC duct clean, brake disk/pads replacement. They took good care of our three vehicles. Highly recommended!

Ive frequented MPG for my auto needs the past few years (oil changes, smog tests, mechanical work) and have been very impressed. They are honest and will only do work which is needed. They are also very good at explaining mechanical issues and helping me understand what is going on with my cars. Glad to have found a great mechanic that I can trust!

Review №54

Just wonderful. Brought my car in for an oil change and courtesy inspection and was given a thorough summary of my cars condition and service milestones ahead. They were careful to highlight parts that were old but in good condition, and cosmetic parts that werent worth replacing (but gave me some DIY hacks if I wanted a more reasonable repair at any point). I even got some fun facts about the model while I was checking out. I dont know much about cars and am always worried about mechanics preying upon that, but I walked away from MPG feeling like I understood my car, and was equipped with the right info if I were to go to another mechanic. I definitely wont be—these are now my guys. Thank you MPG.

Quick and fast with the repair, and always answer the phone immediately. I got good advice there when I brought in my car with rodent damage, and service was swift and of excellent quality. By far the fastest and best organized repair I have gotten recently, my go to repair and service shop in Mountain View.

PROS:* Great customer service: friendly, informative, and quick to respond.* Consistently quick turnaround. Ive gotten 3 oil changes here and none of them have taken longer than 40 minutes (even during peak times).* Trustworthy: they dont try to sell you other unwanted services or overcharge. Prices are listed on the website.CONS:* The shop was a bit difficult to see while driving, I missed the turn into the shop the first time.

Super duper nice folks! I came in for a smog check and oil change and I have zero knowledge of cars. The staff patiently explained everything to me and was not at all condescending. They also replaced my blown brake lights while they were at it and didnt charge for labor. Applied online coupons without me having to even bring it up. They finished the whole thing (oil change, smog check, replace lights) in only 40 minutes! MPG will definitely be my go-to place for anything car-related in the future.
