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.
Akins has good service, great customer service and are reliable when it comes to transparency! I will continue to bring my car around for repairs!
Best place to go if you have problem with your car! Love Akin,he is the best!
Akin and his team are a very capable group that can handle all sorts of car issues. Professional, expedient and thorough. Highly recommended.
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

Great service, reasonable prices, no delays. Will come here next time
This was my first time visiting the shop. The front office staff were so friendly and had a great sense of humor. As someone from Oregon, this was my first auto service experience in California, and the shop made me feel comfortable, confident, and assured by their professionalism and honesty. I’ll definitely come…
Very rapid fix. And the cost is solid.
Akin is the best. He will never let you down. Come to him with respect and he will treat you like family. His prices are the best I’ve seen. Will never look for another mechanic as long as he’s around.
This place is amazing! They are incredibly honest and reliable. They are highly knowledgeable too. They are great with communicating on what work is needed for my vehicles and what the work is for. They also are amazing on the follow up at the end of service and during service. I highly recommend Akin's Auto Repair,…
Pleasantly surprised, finally found an auto service that is efficient, fast and honest most of all. Called in and was able to get same day service. Recommended only what is needed and never felt like they are pushing services not needed. Will def. come back and recommend.

I came in today mentioned I had to go to work when The owner had his employee stop working on a car to do my oil change. So I will be out in time for work. He looked at me and said I GOT YOU. THATS TRUE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Beat of the best, I have been bringing my cars for about 8 years and Akin does an amazing job he makes sure not to replace or repair if not necessary. Now that I have moved out of the area I still being my car here and will continue to do so.
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…
Awesome service, Great work and price is great. I'm surprised he doesn't have more shops
