Re: Good Toyota mechanic in the East Bay? (Jan 2007)
Oakland Autoworks on MacArthur near Piedmont Ave and Broadway is absolutely the best and most honest mechanic I've ever encountered. They only work on Toyotas, Hondas, and a few other cars, so they really know their business. Plus, they're really nice and will provide rides if you need them while your car is being worked on. The phone no. is 597 8388 Linda F

Re: Mechanic for 1988 Honda Accord (June 2004)
I used to take my 88 Honda Accord to (I donated my honda 2 years ago):

Oakland Auto Works
240 W MacArthur Blvd
Oakland, CA 94611-5350
Phone:  (510) 597-8388

They were (are?) a AAA approved shop. The staff was always pleasant, generally they even followed up the fix with a call 1-2 weeks later to make sure I was happy with the repair.

RE: Quality, independent Acura shop? (April 2003)
Previous to Karden we used Oakland Auto Works on Macarthur, service was very good, but prices were 3/4ths the rate charged by the dealers and that was too much for our budget. jon

Oakland Auto Works has changed locations (now near Kaiser Hospital at MacArthur and Piedmont) and the new phone number is 597-8388. Mary

To the person looking for a mechanic or shop for his Honda, Oakland Auto Works is a very reasonable, trustworthy shop on MacCarther by Broadway. We know the owner personally and have the highest regard for him and his business. They specialize in about 5 types of Japanese cars. Good Luck! Naomi

Toyota mechanics: The best there is -- Oakland Auto Works. On MacArthur right where it meets Piedmont Ave. Woman-owned. Fair. They give explanations. Decent waiting room and all of Piedmont Ave. nearby if you have to kill time there. They work on Toyotas and certain other cars. I don't know about the Land Cruiser part. Call and ask. They'll tell you honestly. Linda

I have had experience with two mechanics who work on Japanese cars. One is Oakland Auto Works -- Glen is their chief mechanic and he is excellent. You can trust his word about what's going on with your car. Tamara
