Jose is the most honest and knowledgeable mechanic Ive ever known. He is very fairly priced and quick. He educates you on all of the whats/hows/whys and will recommend the best course of action without any attitude or pressure.

Too busy to work on cars even if you have parts and wait months. After waiting two months and sourcing all the parts for the job he took my car for three days and did nothing. If youre gonna go here maybe do it in 6 months or a year when he can handle managing his time correctly. He completely wasted my time and now its costing me money to not have a vehicle for work. Two stars because he didnt charge for diagnostic.

There’s nobody I trust more than Jose. He has so much experience and has your best interest in mind. I’ve had Volkswagen GTI, mustangs new and old, corvettes, and Corolla, he does it ALL and is so knowledgeable.

Truly the most honest, trustworthy mechanic Ive ever met. Jose will go into detail with you everything he is doing with your automobile, and wont do anything he knows is not worth your while. I tell everyone to go to him. Thank you Jose.

What a nice guy! I came to Jose worried Id have to do some type of electrical overhaul on my Mazda. After a quick diagnostic, he explained the issue and just told me to buy a new battery. Nothing else needed. Cant wait for some car problems so I have this guy fix me up!

The best mechanic experience I have ever had. Jose and Ray were so intentional about explaining everything and keeping the price as low as possible. Wont take my car anywhere else from now on.

I’ve been taking my Toyotas to Jose for ten years now. I cannot speak highly enough about his honesty, friendliness, and workmanship. The most trustworthy mechanic I’ve ever experienced. Will continue to bring him my vehicles for as long as I live in the Bay Area.

I had Jose work on my car a few years ago and I was always very impressed with his knowledge, quality of work and honesty. Someone recommended him to me and Im glad they did. I moved away and havent needed a mechanic since but now that Im back in town Ill be sure to visit him when I do.If youre having issues with your car, Jose is the man.

I went there because my engine made a lot of noise.Jose checked my engine without charging me. Unfortunately, it was the end of my Hyundai Santa Fe 2007. He took 1hour of his work time to explain me the problem of piston and injection. And instead of taking my money to change my engine ($1000 at least), he told me to give my old car to vehicle retirement and with this money buy a other car. He showed me on his computer how apply online at the Consumer Assistance program. I’m new in this country and I had never heard about this program. I was so lucky to go at tecknica automotive and found Jose, an honest man. Moreover, he wrote a list of old reliable cars I could buy and the adress of Buggy bank. And to finish, he told me when he could check the car before I buy it. In conclusion, Jose is an honest and professional worker.

Jose was extremely helpful in fixing the issue I had with my car. He was never shy about sharing his knowledge and experience to help me understand what was going on and how to fix it.

Jose is super honest and knowledgeable. Even after moving to Pleasanton, I go to Tecknica when I have a job that requires a mechanic I can trust.

PROMPT, PROFESSIONAL, PROFICIENT -- AND PLEASANTLY PRICED : .If your surgeon is this good, youre lucky!My 1998 E320 Benz 4Matic Wagon had an intermittent, difficult-to-reproduce starting problem that was leaving me stranded at the worst possible times. Calls to MB-USA & trips to authorized dealers left everyone puzzled -- until I brought it in to the Tecknica Team.QUESTION: Why does a Mercedes have four wheels?ANSWER: To keep the computer chips from dragging on the ground (so the cynical joke goes.) Still, over half the problems Ive had in 38 years and five MBs are beyond the scope of all but the most experienced and technically savvy mechanics.Many independents make a quick guess without really listening to the driver (particularly women!) -- then just swap parts until the problem is solved, without ever discovering the underlying cause -- like a physician too busy to diagnose, hoping a broad-spectrum antibiotic will make the problem go away.NOT Tecknica. Out comes the oscilloscope, multimeter and the diagnostic tools to find the REAL cause so you wont have to return for another guess. Courteous, friendly, reasonable rates and a real guarantee the real problem is found and fixed -- even the little ones that havent YET grown into big ones.This IS a local business, which I appreciate, But if I had a problem with Benz, BMW, Audi -- or any technically complex machine -- even 100 miles away -- Id still say Tow Me To Tecknica!
