I never leave reviews but I just have to. Car repairs are supposed to be a hassle, I used to think "aw man, now I gotta take my car in some place" now I think "sweet, I get to see Vinh" it's like I don't even have to be upset anymore. I met Vinh when he was the only mechanic between Campbell and San Jose willing to take me late at night with 5 minute notice after my radiator cracked on my way home from work. He was extremely helpful and I am so thankful to God to have found this place. I recently took my truck in to have the brakes done, oil change, smog check, maintenance stuff, and he realized I didn't have a ride so he took his lunch and drove me to school. I can name more things that I'm thankful for but the bottom line is he and his family who runs the place are very generous, financially and with the time they will invest in their customer's wellbeing, he truly wants to get to know everyone who comes his way. This is a family run shop that treats you like family. You can trust this place.

If you're like me, you probably obsess over reviews before choosing an auto repair shop. But if you're considering this shop, let me put your doubts to rest. I can say with absolute certainty that you can trust them. The people who work here are incredibly fair, honest, and operate with integrity. What's more, they truly care about your needs and will go above and beyond to accommodate your individual circumstances. And when it comes to pricing, they're more than reasonable. As other reviewers have pointed out, you won't be hit with any unexpected fees when you pick up your car. In short, this is the kind of auto repair shop that puts its customers first. You won't find a better group of people to trust with your car repairs.

This review is long overdue. Diep is knowledgeable and funny and honest. My experience with him is the best mechanic shop experience I’ve ever had. I never had to wait long on the phone and was promptly updated on the work being done. I was never talked down to or overcharged. And I love it when mechanics bring you back and show you what’s going on underneath your car! I had a crash back in late October but figured my car would be salvageable with some TLC. Diep figured out exactly what needed to be done so that I could make the trip back home and do the rest of the repairs with a friend. If I ever need any maintenance while I’m near SJ again, I’ll be coming here.

  • Dan Anderson

These guys are fantastic! I replaced a leaking master cylinder and could not get the brakes to work correctly. They went through the whole brake system and discovered the new master cylinder I installed was defective. They replaced it and everything is working as it should. They also gave me advice on how to attempt to recover some of the labor costs from the business where I purchased the defective master cylinder. Pricing was fair for the work they did. I highly recommend this business for your car repair needs.

  • Roger Gallegos

Best auto repair shop!! Always straight forward with repairs. No hidden charges what so ever. I've been coming here for over 15 years. The service gets even better when you are a regular customer. I have 2 older cars, my sons older '98 BMW, and my 2 older work trucks that always seem to need something because of the age & miles on the vehicles. L&T always there for me and I've never had "That Feeling" that I just got taken to the bank. Thanks Guys!

  • Todd Campbell-Crow

Diep is passionate about keeping my car on the road. He is realistic about repairs, and makes sure to show me any problems that will need a costly repair. He thinks through ways to work around needing new parts when it's safe, and I regularly get a final bill that is a bit under the estimate. I've never needed a re-fix from any of his solutions. Honest, rock-solid work, fast, friendly, and totally in your corner. Can't imagine a better mechanic!

  • Alex Fan

These guys are going to be my go-to mechanic for a while. Vin is simply the man. He took me in, on a whim, on a rainy busy afternoon for an engine check light, and was quick to diagnose the problem and offer a solution. Vin was easy going, patient, knowledgable, and took the time to carefully explain the situation to me despite me interrupting his hectic schedule. I’ll be coming back, and will refer these guys to others. Thanks again Vin!

  • Cody Nesbitt (TheWitchDoktorOfficial)

Recently had a cooling-system issue and while I was certain I needed to replace my radiator, I had Vinh double-check if any other issues were present. He was thorough and it was such a breeze that I wasn't even charged for the diagnostic. Thank you Vinh, for giving me the confidence to get back on the road comfortably. I appreciate both your honesty and integrity.

  • Gee Zaz

these guys are absolutely honest mechanic. they really gonna tell you whats wrong with your car. and i even went here last minute to adjust my fan belt and they did it right away. vhin is a funny guy and thran? forgot your name man. but anyway thanks for letting me the real price of the os2 i got man. it made me upset haha. i'll go back here definitely!

  • Rhonda Falcone

You just can't get better customer service when getting your car repaired than here at L&T Auto. It is located on a busy corner of Lincoln Ave, but I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else. Vin is a man of high integrity and he is so personable. Being a woman, I know I'm not getting ripped off here. Great prices, great service, hands down!

  • Sam Wash

I have no idea why my experience wasnt as great as everyone elses but it wasnt. Nice guy but when I pay $600 for repair I don't expect a quick fix that's only going to work a week. Maybe they're just not equipped to work on older vehicles. Took it to another place they fixed it and I have not had to take it back to them once.

  • Behrooz Behamooz

Justin is just Amazin. I barely leave any reviews here. He replaced my ac compressor and he saved me thousands of dollars. He is honest polite and hard working. I could see in his eyes he does want to do it for me and in my case it was very hard but he did try 4 times until he was able to make my ac running. Thank you Justin.

  • Alex Rivera

I want to say thank you to L &T Auto Repair Shop I have a 2018 Toyota Camry my camshaft went bad took it over to L&T talked to Justin about the problem gave me a great deal to fix it and got it back running great thank you Justin good customer services if need your car fixed this is the spot to go to. …

  • W P

because my car received body damage from being rear ended, i wasn't able to fully get service here. but the mechanic looked at my car anyway! he lifted up my car and showed me what he could see was wrong with it already. he was very funny and super kind! very patient and welcoming, too.

  • Wesley Ma

Can’t speak highly enough for quality of service and pricing, Vinh stayed open for me past 7 after I had called in and told him I was on the way but in traffic. He handed the vehicle inspection beforehand and told me straight, I appreciate his services and will definitely be back.

  • Maranda A

I appreciate the employee who helped perform an engine diagnostic. As a woman it is daunting going to the auto shop for fear I will be swindled/taken advantage of. But the gentlemen here did honest work and pricing. I will be returning whenever I need work done on my vehicle.

  • John Alviso
