If I lived in the Fremont area I would not hesitate to bring my car here for service. I had a seller bring in a used car for a pre purchase inspection and the process was easy and the customer service was exceptional. The mechanic I spoke with, Arun, explained the breadth of the inspection and arranged for the…

I came to Driven after I’d taken my Subaru Crosstrek into the dealership for my 100k routine maintenance and they told me I needed both oil pans resealed - for 3.6k. With a thorough inspection they told me only the lower showed signs of repair and did the job for under a thousand. Great documentation and lightning…

Our company has large project with LS Power in the bay area and we have 3 fleet vehicles in the area at anytime. I had to swap one and called on my way up from SD.

They did a very good job on time they promised and for the repair cost they provided. They worked on my BMX X5 and my wife's GMC suv. We're are very pleased with their work, their recommendations, and their reasonable quote to do the repairs needed. Thank you Performance Auto. Ricky

Straight-forward, thorough and trustworthy. I appreciate the detailed report that follows the visit, accompanied by photos of the work or part being inspected. Thankfully my car is still fairly new, so I haven't had to get anything intense done yet.

Arun and team were awesome! I inherited a 25 year old truck and looked for a local shop with top notch ratings to go over the vehicle…Driven Auto Care was it! They were upfront, transparent and were fair in their prices. I would definitely recommend them!

Even with the ownership change, I would still recommend doing business here for some of the more complex maintenance issues. The price has gone up for regular maintenance like oil changes, but they would take care of all the minor issues for you.

Ken and Brent run a top notch operation. Extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and personable and they only repair what needs to be fixed. I have been going to them for close to 15 years. I only wish I had found this shop earlier and avoided having to go to dealers for auto service and repairs.
