I'd been trying to get my touchscreen replaced for almost a year with another repair shop, who kept making false promises and going back on what they thought was possible. I was referred to Alameda Import by a friend and they immediately fixed the issue within 2 weeks and we ended up getting a new part for WAY cheaper than anything I'd been quoted at other places. Gabriela is also super nice. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Honest quality mechanics

May 17, 2024

Everyone at Alameda Import Automotive has been so so helpful. I bought a used car that needed some work done and they were honest about what the car needed, charged a very fair price, and have always gone above and beyond with customer service. I always trust them to be real with me and help me find the best solution for me and my car. It's really nice to have an auto shop that I can trust and enjoy working with.

My car is currently in the shop but already it's been a pleasure to work with Matt. Transparent communication and patient. Update: still great :)

This has been my mechanic for several years. I'm so lucky to have found them & trust them 100% with my car.

This is the only place I’ll ever go to get my car fixed! I recommend to all my friends and family! Matt knows his cars, his pricing is always fair and customer service is always amazing! I’ve been coming to Alameda Import Automotive shortly after they moved to their Oakland location (about 7-8 years ago) and Matt is my go to mechanic. I got a new car and when I needed my inspection done, I went to him and immediately felt at home again. Thank you for always providing suck excellent service!

I have been coming to Alameda Import Automotive since they were located near the Alameda naval base! Matt, the owner, really loves car repair and he's perfectly suited to his job. I have never felt pressured or stupid when dealing with Matt. He's really patient when explaining what needs to be done, and also why something doesn't need to be done. If you've had a less than positive experience with other car repair shops, I recommend giving AIA a try for your next car repair need!

I've seen this business grow form near inception. From simple repairs, major ones and check-ups, organization, diagnostics, I've seen it all, thumbs up. Record keeping is excellent and most desired of all.

It's okay

Matt is a very conscientious owner. He runs a very friendly and competent gang. They get the work done with no frills. He's located in a very sketchy neighborhood, but his prices are excellent.

Nov 17, 2023

Matt is awesome! Super kind and knowledgeable. Fair price and helps you understand what’s wrong with your car and is very transparent with pricing. He was happy to chat with my long list of questions!

Nov 17, 2023

Matt is excellent. Helped me and my partner out of 2 different tough jams with our respective cars. Doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, is completely honest (even when he could get more money out of you). competitive prices. Also very friendly to boot.

Nov 17, 2023

Matt is very professional and knowledgeable

Nov 17, 2023

Transparent and trustworthy. My go-to Bay Area mechanic.

Nov 17, 2023

Matt is my go to mechanic. We get all of our work done on both our 2019 Acura and our 2007 Honda. They are honest mechanics that are thorough and do not gouge their customers. Highly recommend.

Best in town!

Buen servicio

Nov 17, 2022

Excellent service and very friendly! My car broke down on the way home from Oakland, I live in San jose. I was unable to bring the car personally, but they worked with me and a tow truck driver was able to bring it on my behalf without me initially being there. Best of all, I finally figured out what's wrong with my car after months of struggle!

Great place to fix your car. Affordable & reliable.👍🏼👍🏼

I was recommended to come here and stayed ever since (5 yrs). Matthew Yee is the best proprietor and mechanic for your vehicle. Hands down.

Nov 17, 2022

Outstanding and trustworthy service as always!

They as serviced my GTI for $1200 for the radiator.. and I was about to take it back to fix the water pump.. the owner Matt didn't seem too receptive over the phone when I stated that the parts installed may be defective as it began leaking coolant leaking coolant again. You then read off the file on my car stating that I needed windshield wipers and an oil change with was not even relevant to the issues?! *Ps.. somebody there even stole my temperature sensor parts I had in my cup holder which I actually noticed before I left but didn't say anything. Talk about sticky fingers in A sketchy area. **I will not be returning nor would I recommend this shop.. albeit they may be knowledgeable in fixing cars but their integrity and customer service leaves little to be desired. Prices are on the high side so get ready to bend over.

Been taking my van and my car here for years. Matt and the team are very good. Thorough and honest. I recommend this shop highly. Do be advised it’s in a in a rough neighborhood. Matt commissioned some of the graffiti art in the neighborhood!

Great and quality service. Matt is super helpful and knowledgeable.

Great knowledgeable repair shop.

Nov 17, 2021

I’m very glad I found this place, as they are efficient, honest, and get you back on the road safely as quickly as possible. I never have to wait long or leave my car overnight, as their customer service is top notch. They are upfront about the cost and very competitive in pricing. I have no doubt that Alameda Import treats all customers with respect for their time and budget.

Nov 17, 2021

Matt and his team are the best. Quality work at an affordable price. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else

Nov 17, 2021

Matt is the Man! He's a book of Mechanical Knowledge. Thanks for my Timing Belt and Water Pump replacement. I appreciate you Matt. Go to A.I.A for your Auto Repair.
