El Sobrante Auto Repair

My 95 jeep kept dying. They charged me quite a bit to diagnose. Then told me to replace entire distributer over 600 bucks. Still died, they told me the cars computer was too old and didn't provide any info. Got a Haynes manual shows how to pull error codes from computer just by turning key three times. Error code shows crank position sensor bad, $16 part. Not cool guys, can't recommend them until they make this right......

Fantastic service always

outstanding

Great service- always friendly, honest and efficient!

My "check engine soon" light came on just 45 days before my license tag was due. Burrough & Sons told me to wait and they will check to find a code, After a few weeks, a code showed up. They did the repairs by replacing the bad part and had me drive until my computer monitors were all working. They ran the smog test and my car passed. Thank you Burrough and Sons.

Thanks

You have many choices one experiences when their cars having trouble you can go to your dealership and pay through the nose for obviously qualified personnel that know what they're doing 2nd choice is pick a mechanic randomly without any background and hope for the best badd choice burrows and sons had been in business over 30 years here in El Sobrante they are very well qualified their shop is immaculately clean every night all the cars are put inside the building and lock securely their lot as always swept and decent and clean their extremely important value to our environment the people are friendly knowledgeable and can take care of almost anything unless ot is older than a 1995. This requires a real mechanic not just a young kid that reads the OBD 2 computer. My truck had a rough running engine and they replaced part after part after part charged me $500 and that did not fix the vibration. Then Steve said he would need to change the O2 sensor and change the oil and filter so it would pass smog. This he said would cost me another $500. I know enough about cars as I built my race car motor to know when you are being taken for a ride. $500 just to switch an O2 sensor? That part was $49 at O Riley and 5 qt oil and filter $30. I took it to my regular smog shop and passed and it runs great. It took me 15 min to replace the O2 sensor and 20 min to change the oil and $60 for smog test. $ 140 vs $500 Thanks but for $500 I will never trust them again.

Got my car smogged in a timely manner. Steve was very friendly and professional. I rate it five stars, five being the best!!!

Friendly and great service

It was our first time at Burrough and Sons. We brought our 2001 Subaru in for an oil change and smog check. That went well. It turned out our front axels needed replacement along with an alignment. The car seemed fine but it wasn’t (some shaking). We brought it back in the following day. Turns out it was a bad part. They replaced the bad axel part, readjusted the alignment at no extra charge. The car has been running fine since. They’re very nice and professional including the shuttle driver. We’ll be back and will refer our friends. We received a nice thank you card in the mail.😊
