Automotive Consultants

They found a window piece that had attached to my husband's car. Removed it. Also fixed his front bumper and at a decent price.

Rick and his team are the best auto team I have ever purchased from. They are incredibly professional and absolutely know their stuff, but what makes them stand-out is how honest and customer-focused they are. They talk to you at your level and help you understand things with the focus on getting you back on the road safely and efficiently. If you are in need of car service in the Bay Area - well worth visiting Rick and his team

I've brought my Toyota Highlander here for years. Rick has ALWAYS had my best interest & I respect him VERY much. His daughter is awesome as well. He does good work & he gets you back on the road in a timely manner. Wonderful family & great business!!

I was in Dublin when my wheel bearings went out and wheel started smoking. My truck is a 1954 GMC and the parts are very difficult to find. Rick and his crew were very professional and were able to repair my truck by 3 pm the next day.Automotive Consultants is the real deal and I highly recommend this auto shop.

Jenn at the front desk is an absolute sweetheart! She is very helpful and has been great at helping me come up with a solution to my problem. Rick is very knowledgable and pleasant to work with. I had a problem with my compressor, and brought it in for a second opinion. I brought my original estimate and had them check against that. Rick's team ended up costing about $300 less, refuting what the original estimate said I needed.

Although I just moved from the area, I would happily recommend my friends to take their business to Rick.

Tony and his family owned business is the BEST out there. They offer excellent customer service, they are very attentive and very helpful owners. This was my seventh vehicle I purchased from Tony and I am sure I will be back in a year from now. This was the second vehicle I purchased from Tony without seeing it first. I trust Tony because his word is his bond and I know he will be my advocate when I call on him. I have never had a bad experience with My Auto man. Highly recommended Tony to my friends and family. Keep up the great work My Auto Man.
U-Da-Man!!

I have finally found my mechanic in the Bay Area. I've been a Bay Area resident for 35 years and have taken my rides to everything from the Dealer to the "Big" auto care spots. Rick was the first owner / mechanic to walk me to my truck, show me the issue and tell me the real options I had to resolving the problem - not just "that's X and it's going to cost $XX". Peace-of-mind is priceless in health and auto and I definitely have the later locked down with Rick taking care of my 10 year old truck.

I have been using Automotive Consultants for years. They are friendly & reliable. They never try to up sell extra work. If I only want the most necessary work done they never question that. I like having a mechanic I can trust.

I broke down in Dublin on the way to Washington and was referred to AC by America's Tire. Rick and his crew were super friendly and patient and they REALLY hustled to get me back on the road by the end of the day on a Friday. They are AWESOME!

Jen and Rick at Automotive Consultants were great to work with! They were professional and looked out for my best interests when working on my minivan. I highly recommend them.

I have a 2011 BMW X5 diesel with approximately 73,000 miles on it. BMW's recommended service schedule says the transmission fluid is for "lifetime". I purchased this car new (not a lease) and intend to drive it for about 200,000 miles.

As part of my preventive maintenance I wanted the transmission fluid changed. More specifically I wanted to exchange as much of the old fluid with the new one - without resorting to a power flush.

Besides being very expensive, many BMW dealers didn't want to change the transmission fluid and gave various reasons as to why it should not be done. I knew my transmission was in very good working condition and issues related to "moving the crud" around did not apply to me.

I sought out Rick Camacho at Automotive Consultants and asked if he could do this fluid exchange for me. Rick has done several wheel alignments for me in the past - I go to Rick because I want my wheel alignment set to a specific value, not just get the alignment into spec. and call it done. Rick has always delivered.

Rick and I discussed what I wanted done - not just a simple drain, but try and get as much of the transmission fluid out as possible plus change the filter/pan. If this job is not done right (as in not following the bolt tightening pattern, etc.) you can create new problems - fluid leaks, etc. As expected Rick did a FANTASTIC job - yes the car continues to not shed a drop of oil!

What sets Rick apart are efforts like this one: Rick gave me a choice of fluid I can use on this transmission - BMW branded fluid or ZF branded fluid. ZF is the manufacturer of this particular transmission. Once Rick had the part number for my transmission he called his friend at San Mateo who only deals with ZF transmission.
Rick gave him the part number for the transmission and his friend told Rick the exact ZF fluid used by ZF on this specific transmission. Rick then called me and suggested I follow his friend's suggestion. It turns out this fluid was slightly cheaper - and yes Rick charged me the lower price, not his initial quote!

Rick started off with Porsche but now works on Mercedes, BMW, Audi and other foreign as well American brands. Yes I wholeheartedly recommend Rick if you are looking for an honest auto mechanic who will treat you fairly as well as takes deep pride in getting the job done right every single time.

Rick worked on my Friends 2003 Accord and did 90k timing belt change. Car runs like new and price was much less than any wear else! Awesome work!

The staff was nice and very informative. I appreciate them thoroughly explaining what I needed done on my vehicle and why. It's a great place to take your car. Thank you very much.

I go here for all my alignments, some of the best work and service out there. Super knowledgeable and very convenient location

Rick is a great guy, and you will know why people like him and his shop when you meet him. Great crew he got.

Excellent service! I've taken a variety of cars to him and nothing has been a problem. Over 35 years of great service!!

I took my car in for a wheel alignment and brake issues. Ac automotive consultants found the brake issue and fixed it at no charge. Thank you Rick and crew.

They were knowledgeable and did a good repair

Rick is the best! He will give you the straight scoop on what you need, and importantly what you don’t need!

Rick is an honest repair man and always gets the job done right! Thank you so much!
