What clients say about Fremont Auto Center in Fremont (CA)
Honest and clear about what needs repair. Sal told me what absolutely needed to be done and allowed me to wait a few more months before spending a lot more money. His honesty earns my loyalty.
I’ve been coming here for a while to get my BMW and Porsche serviced. Sal isn’t just a highly skilled and knowledgeable mechanic; he’s also a genuinely good person. He truly cares about his business and reputation, which shows in how much he values his customers. I highly recommend Fremont Auto Center—they’re affordable, accommodating, and trustworthy. Thank you!
Always completely satisfied with Sal and his team. They do the work in a timely manner at a reasonable cost. They are very thorough in their explanation of what's going on with my car, complete with pictures. Fremont Auto Center is definitely my go to vehicle repair for my cars.
I appreciate Martin taking the time to explain & communicate with me. Customer service is awesome. The shop is clean & up to date. My car was fixed quickly & I believe they were straight forward with everything. They're great! I highly recommend them!
I've been taking my car to Sal for about 3 years now. He's very detailed and gives great clarity on what needs to be done. He can be pricey but he uses high quality parts on your car like Gucci but some of us have Target budgets if you get what I mean. I git my left and right axel replaces for $1,404 and I held off on the back brakes which were $900 but I got them done for $350 else where. Sal is very honest and will explain to you why he charge what he charge. I do recommend but it doesn't hurt to compare prices as well.
My engine light was on, and other shops I visited told me it might be a serious issue — possibly even needing a full engine replacement. Luckily, I later found Sal’s shop. He gave me a thorough and professional diagnosis and discovered that the problem was actually minor. I really appreciated how clearly everything was explained. Their honesty and professionalism made me feel confident and safe leaving my car in their hands. I truly trust their service and highly recommend them.
This shop has a secure key drop off service and an online app to enter information on your vehicle, approve any repairs, and pay for the service. The service team was quick to diagnosis the issue with my car and provided me with several solutions using the software tools needed to diagnosis the Mercedes. I was unable to afford the cost of the total repairs at the time. The shop was very understanding and had a very professional attitude when I said I'd just come get the car. I just paid the $155 diagnosis fee.
The only reason I gave only 4 out of 5 stars is because the shop does not offer towing service nor arranged a tow. I had to arrange the initial tow to the shop and the second one out of the shop. Although arranging the second tow is undestandable, I was suprised that the initial tow wasn't offered by the shop. I didn't expect it to be free, but I was shocked that it wasn't something the shop could arrange.
I did find the owner, Sal, was extremely courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. If you're needing a percise diagnosis in the Fremont area, I highly recommend this shop.
Sal has been my mechanic for about 6 years, anytime I have a issue he fixes my problem perfectly and on time, makes it easy for me. He treats his customers with superior care. Once I trust someone specifically as a single woman. I am a customer for life!
Thank you SAL!
I absolutely would highly recommend this Auto shop! Sal and Martin and team are so knowledgeable about cars. I have had the an excellent experience here. They take excellent care of my car and my families cars. I love their honesty and I trust their opinions on question I have about my vehicle or any other question I may have about other car issues. They are professional and friendly. And the shop is clean!. If you’re looking for a honest mechanic who will take excellent care of your car, this is the shop !
I must say, I was very disappointed with the service I received. The rates were incredibly expensive, and after agreeing to fix some of the issues identified in my car, I ended up paying over $3000. To make matters worse, when I received my car back after a long wait and multiple follow-ups, I noticed a strong gas smell while driving, which was not present before.
When I brought this to your attention, I was informed of another issue that would cost an additional $900 to fix. I found it very frustrating, as it seemed clear that some other part had been damaged during the initial repairs. I chose not to pay the extra amount and took my car to another service center, where they identified that some parts had not been fixed correctly, causing the gas smell. They were able to quickly and efficiently resolve the issue for a fraction of the cost.
I wanted to share this experience with you in the hopes that it can serve as constructive feedback for improvement. I believe there is room for improvement in the efficiency and accuracy of your services.
I give this company five stars. Martin was very professional and very helpful. Although he could not diagnose my car, He gave me some good advice and then I left. After I left he did more research and gave me a call with some additional advice. This was probably the third shop. I have taken my car to 3 other shops. They all the just said we can't help you. Don't know what to tell you! but not Martin. Martin did what he could to help me. Unfortunately I have to take my car to the dealer. But thank you Martin for your great advice and your help. I will be bringing my car to you for further needs.
First time going to this shop. I had a stellar experience. The repair was completed in a timely manner. Unlike some of the other reviews, I appreciated the list of recommended repairs. There was no pressure at all to have them completed, they are just recommendations and you can do what you want with that list. I like it, it's a good heads up on what may need attention in the near future.
12/05/2024: My Honda Accord had a dead battery and had Fremont Auto Center replace the battery. cost $300+ dollars. Fremont auto center recommended me to do valve adjustment for $700+, since the car had 170K miles on it and never did valve adjustment. Thought after the valve adjustment, the car would run smoother; Which was a big mistake.
12/06/2024: Found a pool of fluid under my Accord. I checked the source and seeing fluid was dripping from the power steering resevoir. Before doing the valve adjustment, my Accord is totally fine. No oil /fluid leak whatsoever.
12/09/2024: Fremont Auto center charge me $92.0 the leak diagnosis. And saying the leak was due to aging the resevoir and its connecting parts . Cost for the fix is $770+. On the part list, a clamp is listed as $35! I refused the fix but paid the $92 diagnosis fee.
Like serveral reviewers saied about this place. They recommende many serveices which might not be needed and also charge unreasonable price for parts.

Fremont Auto Center did good job on my car. My car had battery problems, so after start the car , the shifting handle doesn’t work. They did correct diagnostic and fixed it. Thank you very much!
This place came highly recommended. They specialize in German makes but work on all makes. They are hard to find hidden down a long driveway off the street. They run the shop like a business and have a standard labor rate to cover.operating expenses. When you take ur car.they they will quote you a price for the repair however they will also upsell you and tell you all the wrong things with your car you should fix running up the standard repair cost. It is evident they do not want to do just the repair needed but a whole.vehicle go through and repair all. They make you feel.like you have neglected your vehicle and they try.to guilt.you.into the higher repair fees stating you want your vehicle.to be safe and reliable.
I chose not.to have my.car repaired there and took it elsewhere.
This place is possibly a.good repair shop.but very manipulative.
Fremont Auto Care was great! I heard a noise under my car after I ran over something in the road and I called to see if they could check it. He said bring it down. I pulled up he immediately got a Jack. Jacked the car up and pulled out a plastic piece that was dragging and said " there is your noise"! Let the car down and that was it! Quick,great guy, and no charge!! Best experience I've had at any auto shop! When your a female, sometimes you tend to get taken advantage of but not here! I would totally recommend Fremont Auto Center!!
They recommended many services that seemed unnecessary at the moment. After double-checking with other auto stores, we decided not to proceed with their suggestions. For example, they claimed my car would not function well after driving 500 miles without fixing all issues they suggested; however, I have driven over 10,000 miles since then without any issues after only fixing a subset of what they recommended at another auto store. I feel they exaggerated the issues, suggesting that minor problems required major replacements. I take good care of my car and prefer to find auto stores I can trust for a long-term partnership.
This is the only place I will ever take my vehicles from now on. They were excellent on verbal and written communication, backed by technicians notes, photos and pricing for each concern, plus everything that was overdue for maintenance or requiring attention soon. I could easily approve or decline each item as they itemized each with clearly marked pricing for parts and labor. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional all the time. This is a great shop...don't hesitate to go there. Well worth every bit of money. My repairs were under $2500. Which I expected but had complete control over. Thank you Sal and Martin and crew!!
Ugh! There’s nothing worse than having car trouble! Thank you to the team at Fremont Auto for taking care of me the second that I walked through the doors. Special shout out to Martin for taking his time walking me through everything that they would do to my car, why and when it would be completed. I LOVE the text communication throughout the entire process. Not to mention that my car is running the best that I’ve ever driven it since I’ve gotten it. Excellent work, guys! Expect to see me again if ever I have an issue in the future!
Sal and Martin always take great care of my cars. Both my wife and I have them service our German cars. They are communicative, prompt and friendly. Their customer service is excellent!
I have had several experiences with Fremont Auto Center and have been very satisfied with the services I've received for my daughter's short-lived Honda Accord and my Hyundai Tucson. The staff is very friendly, and communication is efficient via text and phone calls. Drop-off and pick-up are easy. I appreciate their making car maintenance easy.
Called asking for an oil/ filter change with a tire rotation. Was told they would do that along with their basic package/ inspection. Asked if there was any extra fee or cost and was told no. Maybe they meant the package doesn’t cost more with the inspection but the fact that I called asking for just an oil change and tire rotation and they threw something else in without explicit approval and acknowledgement that it cost extra is a little sleazy in my opinion. They ended up adding an extra “engine oil supplement” for $34.30 extra and taking three hours even with an appointment. Won’t be going back
I've been a customer for few years now... always great service and happy with getting my Lexus back! Most recently came in for an oil change and with a wet carpet problem that had mold growing. I wasn't sure what the issue was with the carpet (due to rain, the A/C, etc etc), but they thoroughly tested everything and found that the A/C drain was clogged up by debris/ spider/etc. They returned to car to me in immaculate condition. They care about their customers. Highly Recommended!
Foreign and domestic cars experts do high quality work for reasonable price. Easy to schedule, transparency, and done in time - as promised. Professional and courteous service. Very thorough complimentary inspection of your vehicle reveals potential troubles. You have a choice how to address them. I switched my Porsche service to FAC.
Martin and the team have been very helpful, patient, professional, and honest and I would like to share my experience to let people know they are truly a hidden gem. Here is what happened -
It started with the engine light came on and I went to the first auto repair shop before Fremont Auto Center. The first auto repair shop did a diagnosis and said ALL 3 components need to be replaced and that's $5K. I decided to ask around and my friend recommended Fremont Auto Center so I called them. Martin spent 25 minutes on the phone with me patiently listening to my description and asking follow-up questions. I decided to have them to do diagnosis. The day I arrived, Martin had a error code reader with him and did the diagnosis and then right away he showed me the error codes and after his discussion with the team, they noticed all error messages are mentioning voltage. After all, they were able to only need to replace the battery and have the car fixed and that's a VERY BIG cost saving for me comparing to the other auto repair shop (less than $600 vs. $5K). Also Fremont Auto Center was able to show me a full report with detailed information.
I just want to thank Martin and the team for their honesty and willing to dig into the root cause of the issue. I will recommend them to all my friends and definitely go to them for all my car moving forward.
Good luck with your car, and definitely have Fremont Auto Center to be on your auto repair shop list. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I did some repairs with them. Sal and Martin are good in smooth talking with their customers but they charge two to four times more than other nearby auto repair shops who also have good ratings. If you have tons of money and don’t mind giving them whatever they ask then it’s ok to fix your car with them. But I don’t recommend them after knowing what kind of business they run.
I was looking for a new auto mechanic to fix a screech in my car and to pass the next Smog check. I found Fremont Auto Center on Google and decided to stop by for an inspection because of their good reviews. They have great quality services, such as sending photos with comments about each part that requires maintenance. Thank you to the owner Sal for having such a great qualified team, who do honest work and provide excellent customer service.
I would highly recommend Fremont Auto Center to family and friends looking for an auto shop.
Great service and highly qualified personal!
I received a full diagnostics map of my newly bought car with all the existing and potential issues and professional review of them: like what needs to be done ASAP, and what can wait till the next time.
Will definitely come here for the next maintenance.
