Alvin's Auto Center

I brought my 2022 Toyota 4Runner in for 120k mile maintenance at Alvin's Auto Center in Willow Glen, San Jose, and it was by far the best experience I've had at any shop in the city. What really stood out was their technology — the way they handle inspections, communication, and customer service is on another level.… Read full review

I think it was slightly overpriced, but I did not shop around. The service was done as expected. Brake fluid, oil change, and transmission fluid was done promptly and making the appointment was very easy. Vehicle inspection and their process of sending the results of the inspection was very easy to use. I declined… Read full review

It has been a month now and I would say Alvin did some good work. I just needed an oil change, a wheel alignment, and transmission fluid. They offered to change wipers and the battery to my car keys. Of course, I am a lazy person and I had the supplies already. They installed the wipers I had in my trunk. I went… Read full review

First, both Tony and Sam are very courteous and polite. They explain everything, they identify the issues and go over it in detail, including sending online photos of affected parts before any work is done. And then they answer any questions. And they also asked me to look up previous work done elseware to make sure… Read full review

very professional and clean

The team at Alvin’s were great. They offer a free towing option if your within 3-miles which was wonderful. My ride needed a lot of work and they were relatively quick and communicated very well. Prices seemed very fair. I do think they should waive the $155 inspection fee if the customer agrees to perform the… Read full review

Great service. Always kept in contact with me and with updating repairs or needed repairs with updated estimates.

Tony is the best! Courteous, professional, and accommodating. Good communication, fair pricing.

brought my f150 in for misfire. Despite my busy schedule, we were still able to get the job done. I'm glad I went to Alvin's. I can tell they try their best to do the job right and do it to the best of their ability. there was no pressuring or anything. just gave me what I was asking for. and I appreciate that. 🙏

I took my 2011 Subaru Tribeca to Alvin’s for multiple long-needed repairs. I found Cal to be very knowledge, polite, professional and courteous. He prioritized the repairs and explained every sufficiently. The car runs great, and I will definitely return.

This was my first visit to Alvin's, for my newly purchased 2009 Prius. I am very happy with the attentive and knowledgeable service Tony and Andy provided. They even spotted some items that the local Toyota dealership had gotten wrong in its pre-purchase inspection of the car. Overall the work performed at Alvin's… Read full review

Alvin's auto is awesome. Only place i will take my car now. They know what they are doing and they care about their customers!

Alvin and Anthony took time to thoroughly explain the work needed. They sent me an approve/decline list of suggested repairs w photos and estimates. They were awesome and my used rav4 now runs great! I highly recommend Alvin’s

Could not be happier. Alvin and his son are like family to my wife and my Mother for years. Would not go anywhere else.

I looked up Alvin’s online while seeking to repair the AC for my husband’s Nissan Versa. They charged the unit with dyed coolant. There were no leaks. (If there had been leaks, the dye would have supposedly allowed them to locate the areas that needed repair.). The coolant had dissipated over a long period of… Read full review

I went there to replace the central differential in my 2011 Subaru Impreza. The car had the problem for more than two years and no mechanic was able to diagnose, including the dealer. The service was quick, at very good price, with excellent communication. I would go back for other recommended services.
