🔧 Almaden Automotive

I was visiting a friend when I had my water pump fail on me on a Saturday. (2014 f150). Stopped at a couple shops but was not feeling comfortable with the greetings. Last stop before leaving it at the dealership I came across Josh at Almaden Automotive. He took a quick look and pointed out the leak. Ended up leaving the truck with them for the repairs. Fair price and honesty made my decision easy. Not easy to come across this type of service I found out, after retiring from this field of almost 30 years. I found a shop that treats people the way I treated people for years and had a loyal following. Thanks Josh and Almaden Automotive.

I had the hood supports replaced on my Toyota Camry today, and I couldn't be happier with the service! From start to finish, everything was smooth and professional. Leilani at the front desk was warm, helpful, and efficient, and the mechanic did a fantastic job—my car was ready in less than 30 minutes. To top it off, the final price was lower than I expected, which was a pleasant surprise. Great service, quick turnaround, and fair pricing—what more can you ask for? I highly recommend Almaden Automotive and will definitely return for future maintenance needs.

100% recommend Almaden Automotive. My Son had an ABS brake light on his Kia.They fixed the issue in a timely manner. This shop is professional, curtesous, and reliable. Thank you John and Lailani (& mechanic).

Called about replacing my serpentine alternator belt quote they were able to get my car in the afternoon. Completely upfront with the price and work before going in. Did not try to upsell me anything. Everything done in under an hour. Solid auto shop. Will return for oil changed and future work.

I've been a patron of Almaden Automotive since the mid 80's and, whether it was a domestic or foreign car, I've always been able to rely on them to do the job right. That's why I don't go anywhere else. John, the owner, has never let me down. In a time when it can be a challenge to find an honest mechanic, John is a shining star. It's a small shop, so you know that you can always get the personal attention that makes you feel like you're their favorite customer. The three elements that I feel are necessary for an excellent shop are honesty, quality work and fair pricing. Almaden Automotive gets 5 stars on all three. BTW, I clicked on 5 stars, but when I checked, it only showed 4.7. That's wrong. This is a 5 star shop.
