Good as always
greatest auto store in California. they are honest and transparent. will never recommend anything that is unnecessary. fantastic group
Dorso’s did a great job fixing a noisy fan motor for interior heating and cooling, plus they successfully diagnosed a tire pressure sensor problem and replaced faulty tire pressure sensors for all four tires that were original equipment but due for change out after 12 years and 122,000 miles. Dorso’s is great for…
Always a pleasure working with Rick and Joe!
Rick and Joe are very knowledgeable. Gave me a complete overview of my GTO. Dropped off car in the morning and picked up in afternoon. Always keeping me informed of vehicles condition. Dorsos has taken great care of all are vehicles over 20 years
If you don't want to worry about your car breaking down on long trips, then service your car at Dorso's Automotive Repair, Fremont. My husband and I have been taking our vehicles to Dorso's for over 30 years and have never experienced a break down "on the road". I attribute this to Dorso's using great products,…
Rick the owner and Joe his assistant I’ve known for sometime (20+ yrs) Always a top notch shop, quality work. After retiring from 40yrs of working in the dealership business, this is where I prefer my vehicles to be repaired! 👍
Excellent and prompt work! They don't recommend any unnecessary repairs. Thorough communication about the issues, repairs and costs. Rick is always pleasant talk to and explains everything in detail.
Dorso’s was clear and detailed about everything that my truck needed. After a total of 175,000 miles I confidently say that Dorso’s has been the biggest factor in my truck driving smoothly and strong. I can’t thank Dorso’s enough, especially the rise in auto costs! I’m crossing my fingers for another 100,000 miles…
I love the thoroughness of Dorso’s Service. They are professional and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them.
Not good experience. I’ve been there three times. I come back each time feeling I got taken advantage of. I have an older vehicle, a 2013 accord, so of course it’s not gonna be perfect. They add “optional” and “recommended” items on every visit even for very minor things. Can’t do oil change without additives. Can’t…
I had my vehicle radiator flushed and replaced fluid and tire rotation and oil changed. It took most of day, but it was worth it.
I can’t say enough good things about this shop. The team here is honest, knowledgeable, and does excellent work every time. They take the time to explain what’s needed (and what isn’t), and I’ve always felt that they truly have my best interest in mind. On top of that, they treat you like family, which is much more…
Brought my car in for check up. Dorso does a complete and through inspection and keeps me informed of my cars condition. Highly recommend.
I consistently receive excellent support at Dorso’s. They fully explain any issues they identify when reviewing my vehicle, and they note which issues should be addressed right away vs. any items that can wait until later. They also do their best to offer cost-effective solutions. I highly recommend Dorso’s.
Top notch service without selling you any extras like the dealership guys. Reasonable prices and great customer relationships. I would definitely continue to use their services in future.
After our long time ( nearly 30 years) go-to auto repair shop was sold to another business, my family and I, went to 2 different auto repair shops for our car maintenance. It was not until Dorsos’s Automotive was highly recommended by our family friend, that we knew this was going to be our go-to repair shop. My…
Always great work and good prices! This is my trusted, go-to mechanic for my 2017 Honda civic.
Joe, Rick and crew really took car of me. I had some deferred maintenance and now my car is running great. The cost is reasonable, and worked with my schedule.
Excellent service, kept us well informed as to service being done. During regular inspection as part of their service found an existing problem which saved us undo wear on front tires. We have been a long time customer and would recommend Dorso’s to any one needing car servicing. Highly professional and above all honest
Always great service. Wonderful team to work with. Total trust in their work. Won't rip you off. I recommend everyone take their vehicles to Dorsos for all your automotive needs.
I have used Dorso’s for years and am very happy with the service they provide.
Another excellent service experience at Dorso's. They always provide exceptional service, thorough explanations of services provided, and a friendly respectful atmosphere. We highly recommend!
DORSO'S is a very good place to take your vehicle. Friendly staff great mechanic. And very reasonably priced.
Once again a great service. Dorso’s is always thorough in their inspections and flawless in their execution, which makes a huge difference for my really old car, not only for its repairs, but especially prevention too. Very friendly staff.
- Good service, - Good use of technology to keep clients updated - They didn’t add unnecessary repairs to gain more fees from clients.
There is no one we trust more with our cars than Dorso’s
Super friendly staff that go above and beyond. They keep you updated throughout the process. Highly recommended.
The team at Dorso's is awesome. Very thorough and informative. Love the text confirmations and communication as I'm not always available via phone. Accommodating and understanding. Great service all around!
Fantastic service every time I need them.
My vehicle died on the freeway and I had it towed to Dorso's. They couldn't get to it right away but were happy to let me leave it with them. I was pretty sure that the fuel pump was bad and I was right. They diagnosed it quickly and got the repair done, which required draining the fuel and removing the tank, in…
This auto service has been servicing my car for 20 years. I would not trust anyone else to take take of my Chrysler. I give them 2 wrenches up. Thanks to the entire team.
Dorso is the place to go, period ! This review is long overdue . I had problem with my Hyundai Sonata with general repair as well as MUFFLER problem. My car had problem with muffler as well as maintenance. On calling couple of automotive repair shops in fremont , i was quotes too high or vague answers on muffler…
Called because check engine light came on and Joe was able to fit me in car was fixed the next day and runs great again. Thank you
Dorso's Auto Repair is an amazing shop with a great team of professionals who do everything they can to get you back on the road as quickly as is possible. You will be pleased that you chose these guys.
Dorso’s was courteous, quick, as well as efficient at assessing and fixing my older car’s needs so that it drives quite like new again. Would definitely revisit for the quality work and kind staff.
Had an issue with my Ford pickup and took it to Dorso’s, and I’m very pleased with their service in fixing my truck. All around excellent experience, will return if I need work done on my vehicles, and would definitely recommend them to others.

Dorso's leaves no stone unturned! They do everything possible to find and repair your car problems. I trust them and look forward to returning again.
Dorso’s is the best shop in the Bay Area. We’ve been coming there for close to 30 years and have always gotten the best service.
Dorso’s are not mechanics. They are car physicians..they carefully look over everything and give you a full diagnostic. Their prices are services fees are reasonable and they are very quick. They treat every customer with respect and understanding. They know you need your car back ASAP and they do their best to turn…
Thy are the best! I’ve been going Dorso’s for approximately 5 years. Always went to a dealer before that. I am completely happy with their work and would recommend their work to anyone need repair or service.
Been using Rick for over 10 years for my chevrolet vehicles. I always get what I pay for, w/out the hassle. Makes it enjoyable to maintain my car and keep it running well.
Overall great experience Very thorough. Detail oriented Polite, willing to take the time to explain things to you These guys Know cars. Thanks Rick
Honest Reliable Dependable service we have been customers for well over 20 years .
I have been their client for years. They are reliable, professional and honest, and this is what I am looking for from the team that takes care of my car. I trust them 100%. Highly recommended.
Rick and Joe are excellent at keeping you informed as they work on your vehicle. I would not trust anyone else to work on my truck. Rick is extremely knowledgeable and takes his time to explain what needs to be done and why.
We have been taking our vehicles to Dorso's for many years for general maintenance as well as repairs. We first came as a referral from a friend, now more than a decade later we are still very happy, and refer to others. Rick and Joe always provide excellent service, explaining our options including great references…
We have been taking our vehicles to Doris’s for about 20 years. Rick, Joe and the whole Dorso team are exceptional when it comes to servicing your vehicle. They’re thorough and reasonable priced.
I brought my vehicle to Dorso's for the first time after seeing all the great reviews on line. Plus, I knew they were an excellent shop as this business is AAA approved for auto repair. Before coming to Dorso's, a local auto dealership advise me about some worn parts that were in need of replacement. I wasn't…
They came recommended from a friend. Local small businesses with attentive customer service. Honest and upfront with Servicces. Not the cheapest mechanic around, but worth the price of knowing your auto is in good hands and service is top notch. Services are worth recommending. Satisfied with the work they did on my 2019 Jeep Wrangler.
Highest level of excellence customer service. First time using this shop because they were one of few that had a cat shield for my vehicle in stock (no wait). They squeezed me in so the work could be done before my vacation. Never have I ever seen a cleaner shop! They even asked Covid screening questions, had…
Great service, as always! They are my go to mechanics for my car service. Friendly staff are reliable, trustworthy, and always have good advice.
I’ve known Rick and Joe for a few years now. I’ve been taking my cars to another shop for 30 years. Because of my previous experiences with Dorso’s, I knew when my mechanic retired, which he recently did, I’d be taking my cars to Dorso’s. Thorough, professional, convenient. I’ll be recommending Dorso’s to anyone I know who needs auto service and repairs.
So happy to have someone look after my car.
This is a great Auto service. Honest and very friendly people. I brought my car for a regular maintenance and will definitely come back for the next one.
