California Auto Center

Took our car to Andrew last minute for an oil change and dead battery, and Andrew was thorough and efficient. Prices here are super reasonable. Not only that, but he also spent 10 minutes telling me how to best maintain our car because he noticed some rusting at the bottom. Great guy who really cares about his craft! Would highly recommend to others!

Andrew is a straight-shooter and very helpful. He does not sugar coat issues, is forthcoming about repair costs, and has always accommodated me and my car problems quickly, especially those that are of a more urgent nature. It was not easy to find a reliable and honest mechanic when I moved here but I’m very happy to have found Andrew’s shop.

Wow so glad I found this place, wish I had found them sooner!

My mom has a 2002 Ford Thunderbird that wasn't blowing COLD A/C, only warm. So she took it to Serramonte Ford Dealer for a quote because my entire family services their vehicles at Ford. Anyway, I don't know what it was but they quoted her a few thousand dollars to fix this A/C problem stating that it may be more as they work on the vehicle. She was upset at the quote and asked me to find someone else.

So I turned to CAC from Yelp. I brought in the vehicle and only stated that the A/C wasn't blowing cold air. He took the vehicle and told me he would thoroughly inspect the car to see what's going on. If anything major needed to be done, he would called for permission to proceed. The next day Andrew called and said that the vehicle was ready for pickup. They managed to fix the problem by adding refridgerant to the car. There was no leaks that they could see so he said for me to bring it in if there were any problem as the warranty is for a year. The total cost was $208 for the entire inspection and refrigerant. Wow! So glad to find honest mechanics that's not trying to take advantage of older female customers such as my mom.

5 STARS!

Wow how great these guys are. Brought truck in for and issue to be $200-300 fix. On site they noticed a cracked air intake hose cheap repair to try myself prior to shelling out the money for something that probably isn't the immediate issue. If I ever have an vehicle issue I will be going to them. The honesty and sincerity gives me trust in them to do right by me as a customer.

Andrew and his team are awesome. Great work, quick turn around, always reasonable and provides expert advice. California Auto is our "go to" repair shop!

Andrew is a really honest mechanic. I trust him absolutely to give me the best advice. He had the transmission fixed on my Honda Odyssey for much less than other quotes I got. It was fixed in 2016 and it is still doing well. He also advised me after that van was in a crash. He gave me a good option and undertook the job and fixed it to the level necessary for our purposes, and certainly for a very reasonable price.

I really trust him and California Auto Center and I would highly recommend them.

A few months ago my check engine light came on so I got a quick diagnostic check from O'Reilly Auto Parts that said my upstream 02 sensor needs replacing. I purchased the part that the store clerk told me would fit my car, and then called a few auto repair places in Burlingame to find someone that could install it.

California Auto Repair was by far the easiest to work with, I explained over the phone that I wanted to install the new 02 sensor that I had bought and was able to book an appointment with them for the next day. Drop off was easy, and a bit later I got a call that the part I had purchased wasn't the correct one. They were able to get the correct part and finish work the same day, all for a very reasonable price. My car is now running better after changing the sensor and no more check engine light. I would definitely consider returning here for any future issues.

Incredible and quick service. I appreciate how honest these guys are. Fair prices, great work. They even added on a 12 month warranty to the repairs they provided. Very happy with this place.

I have been going to Andrew’s for more than 12 years now, and the service has always been outstanding.

Most importantly, Andrew has impeccable integrity, and honest to the fault. Folks like Andrew are few and far between.

Highly recommended, outstanding.

My cars engine light went on late last night and was concerned about driving my car. Andrew was happy to help and had an answer right away. I need a new hose. They were able to fix my car same day! Such great service and cost!!

The BEST! Andrew and the workers at California Auto Center do fantastic work for a reasonable price. They go the extra mile for you and your vehicle. Never been disappointed with anything they have done!

Because of the Check Engine light on around two years ago, I came to this repair shop. So far California Auto Care Burlingame is the best car repair shop that I have used. A girl like me, doesn't know about cars, often has issues with car repair/mentainnance shops, either cheated by dishonest shops or overwhelmed by lack of knowledges. I am glad finally I can find a shop that I can trust and don't need to worry about my car any more.
I can see the mechanics here are very skillful and experienced. Their service is excellent as well. They don't up sell. The price is reasonable and sometimes they would even give you some free add-on services. I feel they are just like my good neighbors. I spoke out my dissatisfaction one time, they immediately did something to improve it.

Great service, fast turnaround, and honest assessments. Andrew and his team do a great job.

This shop is not to be confused with another auto shop in Millbrae that shows up in searches.

My family and I have been coming here for years, they are extremely helpful and nice people, as well as being excellent at their job. Very reliable service and I highly recommend them. Thanks everyone!

I brought in my Lexus ct because of an issue with the steering linkage. I had researched the problem I was having and the fix ranged anywhere from $150-2000 in the cases I found online. In my experience that’s a bad sign usually. Much to my surprise Andrew fixed my car in a matter of hours and only charged me $120! Really straight forward and honest about the repairs done. No upsell whatsoever either. Definitely legit thx Andrew

I received excellent service. I came without an appointment and was helped immediately. The fees and cost of the service rendered were explained ahead of any work being done. Very professional indeed.

Honest, no BS. Patched a hole in my tire for 20 bucks while I waited. Took my other car in with some bumper and mirror damage and they offered to handle the claim with my insurance and fix the mirror for free.

Took a 2010 Prius for a pre-purchase inspection. The man was thorough and caught everything the seller hadn't disclosed. Exceptional job and good price for the job

Went there to patch my tire. In n out in 15 minutes! Great service!

Always satisfy with their service, they treat customers with honesty, never sell you parts or service that is not necessary, this is my go to place for my car repair. you won't be disappointed
