T D Garage

I've probably used TD Garage half a dozen times. They are definitely trustworthy, which is hard to find in auto shop. They do everything the way they say they will. They do a good job, and they are very professional! more

Kia is passionate about Subarus. He'll simply guide you with options and choices that he's found over a long experience will give you what you're looking for. He identified for me the things I knew needed work and couple of others that I couldn't see. He was open to staging the work to suit me. He kept all the parts to show me. I noticed a really tiny noise in a new axle a month after service. I mean really tiny - maybe three "clicks" in a whole trip to Sacramento tiny. Kia made an extended test ride up and down Berkeley with me, but we couldn't clearly coax out the noise. A month later he did the same for me again, and then put the car on the lift for additional going-over. Finally a month or two later the noise had progressed - so Kia kept the car for the morning, and when I returned it already had a new axle, no further questions, not charge, no hesitation. It's important to say that I'd chosen originally to have the axle replaced with a rebuilt unit (for a tremendous savings over new) and nothing about the defect reflects on TD Garage. The service I got is the reflection. Everything confirms I've finally found the shop I've been looking for. more

Kia and Gloria at TD Garage have been fantastic from the beginning! They gave me a free assessment to look at my car, and they told me what they thought. I left to think it over, but I brought my car back. They did a great job! I live with a buddy who's a mechanic, and we were all talking together. Kia is very thorough and very good at what he does, and he's honest. I've only had one major piece of work done on my car there, but after that I've been able to call and check in with him. Since I'm on the road, I will call Kia to check about little things. He's been helping me out with suggestions and advice. It's really a nice piece, that I'm still able to connect even though I haven't brought my car in for a while. more
