I cannot say enough good things about Akins Auto Body. The owner and his brother are genuinely honest, kind, and good people, and that really stood out to me. These are good men doing honest work. I think I will remember their kindness the rest of my life. They were able to get my car repaired the same day, which…
Fantastic no-nonsense service center. The owner is a great guy and will always give you great advice. They are reasonably priced and will never try to rip you off. I’ve always gotten good advice on what my car needs and what’s unnecessary.
Akin's was great, I was there for less than an hour for my car since they diagnosed the issue in minutes. They also were kind and honest about the repairs needed, didn't try to oversell anything, and had very reasonable prices. Overall, would heavily recommend and I'll be coming again.
Excellent. Akin is straight up and his work is always top notch. His staff is very skilled and fast. Fair pricing and his estimates are always accurate. The only bad thing I can say is sometimes they get very busy, but there is a reason for that!
I found this place thanks to the hand car wash nearby and I need to service my car, they also have a chill waiting room while your car gets worked on. Plus the owner is super chill and funny. Will come back for future repairs and maintenance
This place was very good. Very transparent and very responsive via text. Price was also very good when compared to other places for the work I had - oil change, transmission fluid and brake fluid change
I brought my car for some maintenance and had a really positive experience. It’s always a relief finding a mechanic you can trust
I like this establishment by two brothers. Always honest with their clients, good service and competitive rates. I like the honesty aspect the most and as such this review! I have been their client for past five years, I used to drive all the way from Berkeley and 40+ miles away just to get my service here. I…
Super fast service. Called them, drove over and got right in. I would highly recommend to people who need work done in this area. Very friendly and honest workers. Thank you very much.
I was sure that the bearing of my mini van was worn. So, I visited Akin's to replace them. But after the inspection, the owner told me "who said that bearing has issue?", and I said "me"... He told he is sure that bearing is ok, and let me just take my car back. I'm glad that this is my second experience with satisfactions.
I would not hesitate to send my mother to this repair shop. She did go to get her AC compressor replaced on an older car. The cost was about 60% of the mechanic she normally would see. They explained the cost of the various parts to her over the phone. I was able to see how her go to repair shop may have been…
I've taken my car to Akin's Auto for 6 years. They're the best auto mechanic business I've ever dealt with in my 40 plus years of car owning. They're honest, careful, skilled, and will tell you all the pros and cons of your needed repairs - including if you can put something off or if it is urgent. They never try to…
I have a 5 year old Jeep Cherokee and used Akin's services twice: 1. several months ago he helped with changing my car's suspension struts, 2. Recently changed the thermostats which solved my check-engine-light-on issue. Both experiences are super great for me. Akin's service is professional, his team is able to…
