So I believe in helping out the local business, so I pay extra to have a high mileage oil change as well as a 30 point inspection on a car I just bought for my daughter. After awhile I see them drive my car around the block, I go into the shop and ask about my car. They tell me everything is fine. I asked them if they put my car on the rack and they say, "YES of course". So I ask them about the leak underneath my car. This is where the lies start flying and blaming ME for not telling them about the leak. Umm, wouldn't you notice this, if in fact you really did an "inspection".
I sat at the coffee shop right across the street and watched my car being "NOT serviced". They NEVER put it on the rack, but then turns around and blames the tech for failing to do this??
They tell you they've been doing cars for DECADES, but they only have 20 reviews??? Something doesn't add up here...Helpful 9Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Oct 23, 2020
Called in a day before and made an appointment for a smog check @9am. They were quick, friendly, and easy going.
Ron & Pancho were great guys who helped me and told me the rate for a smog check was $54 which, is better than most auto shops that charge in the Bay Area.
Took only 20 minutes for my smog to be done. Will definitely come back for any repairs that I may need.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Manuel V.Richmond, CA03Jan 30, 2024
Shotty repair work...look at the work after they do it since it will probably not be done right! Had transmission seal replaced since it was leaking the day I picked it up, still leaking even though it was minor, they told me bring it back if it continues leaking or gets worse, leak got worse and started leaving spots took back and they want to charge me to repair the shotty work they did they claim it's over warranty when receipt never told me how long was warranty, this place is just out to take your money, now I have to file lawsuit, save your time and money. The repair done to ac condenser, they broke all the clips, crappy workmanship.

I've been going to Square Deal for 5 years now and I'm never disappointed with their services. Good service at a good price. I never get the impression they're trying to gouge me. Highly recommended.

My truck was taken in a smog and to have all fluid levels checked. Great customer service and I was in and out (with appointment) before I could drink a cup of coffee. Yes I would take all my vehicles in for regular maintenance and repairs.

My Ford Expedition is 24 years old and still runs good and looks great thanks to Square Deal.

It was checked out and I was given a quote and it was repaired and back in my driveway by late afternoon. Always a fantastic job done by expert mechanics.
Jan 29, 2018Previous reviewHere is an auto mechanic that's honest and does a good job on your vehicle. I have old cars and no one wants to work on them, but Square Deal can and does. And you don't have to take out a loan to get your car fixed. I feel safe in bringing my cars here and that's why I am giving this garage a "HIGH FIVE"

My check engine light came on so I called on a Monday and was seen by Thursday morning. Brian reassured me that he would take a look at it and take care of it. He even gave me a ride home. He was very professional and helpful. They not only took care of my car issue but also rotated my tires and had it all taken care of within a couple of hours for a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this place. This is for sure my Go-to place for ANY car issues!

Got an oil change here. They make it easy. Francisco was professional and informed me of how my car was doing. I feel like they did a perfect job. 5 stars. I'm glad this shop is nearby incase I need it.

Good experience. They squeezed me in for an oil change on a Friday afternoon. Noticed my wiper blades were shot and replaced those too. Decent people.

Have taken my car here for a couple of oil changes and another standard scheduled service for my Acura. Each time they've been easy to schedule appointments with, and they've done quick and quality work for a fair price.
