Aaron’s Auto

Aaron is a great mechanic. He’s honest and he’s fair. He doesn’t sell you anything you don’t need. He tells you what needs to be done now and what can wait in case you’re on a tight budget like me. He is a good guy and he works so hard for his customers. He’s also super reliable. He does what he says he’s going to do and he does it as efficiently as possible. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Bring your car (s) here and you will not be disappointed.

What is there to say?! It is one of the fastest and best priced place to take your car for a smog.
I have not used them for car repair but had them do a smog, and I was surprised at not only how quickly it was done but their price was so up my alley! I paid over $ 100 for a BMW at a place in WC and paid under $ 40 at Aaron’s Auto, one can’t beat that– not only the price but great service!

We will never go anywhere else! I can’t say enough about Aaron’s Auto. Aaron identified a problem with our vehicle very quickly, after we had already taken it to the dealer TWICE to find out what a mysterious noise and burning smell was. Not only did Aaron figure out what was wrong right away, but he fixed it in no time, and we haven’t had a problem with it again. We go to Aarons auto for anything related to our Honda or our Toyota, and we are always treated with kindness, honesty, fairness, and most importantly, Aaron’s fixes whatever needs fixing in a timely manner. Highly recommend!

Went to see Aaron off Unilocal Reviews for a SMOG test and he was very fast and efficient. His price was more than fair and I appreciated his honesty about not expecting people to find coupons, that he treated all his customers the same — FAIR. I was in an out in 15 minutes, and will definitely recommend him to friends!
Thanks Aaron!

I give Aaron’s Autoshop a five start because of the customer service and honesty. The owner Aaron, great individual and straight to the point. I will continue to go to his shop for minor and major repairs for my vehicles. Keep up the great and honest work.

I’m so thankful to find Aaron again. He takes care of your vehicles with honesty and care. I have a Nissan Xterra and my daughter’s Smart Car which have both been serviced under Aaron. Aaron and his Dad, Roy are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. I highly recommend you giving them chance.

Aaron has definitely been my go to guy. The door on my 1998 Tacoma would not latch. He got that fixed without too much of a hitch. The back hatch on our 2000 Sienna snapped and we couldn’t get it open. He actually got it fixed the same day and for a very reasonable amount. He also helped with one of our work trucks, getting the windshield washer to work. He is now «my auto repair guy».

I just found my new mechanic !!!
After a less than stellar experience with a shop down the street, I had my vehicle towed to Aaron’s auto on a late afternoon. I was warmly greeted and I explained my issues about the vehicle. The next morning, I was given an explanation about needed repairs and given an estimate. By the end of the day, the service was completed and I was fully explained what services/​repairs were performed on the vehicle and what I needed to look for in the future due to the high mileage of the vehicle.
I could not be more pleased with the service, communication, and cost of the repair. I will definitely be back and I wish I knew about Aaron’s Auto many years ago.

Aaron’s Auto rocks in service and quick response. I got smogged and had a great time in a comfortable setting with super folks. Going back for some work and totally trust these wonderful people Plus The Price is right :)

Too bad there aren’t 10 stars.
There are two services these days where it is nearly impossible to find capable, honest, reliable craftsmen/​women, because most of the time you can’t be sure you’re not being lied to and taken for as much money as they can get their hands on: veterinarians and auto mechanics. When I left San Francisco and moved to Concord I began looking for a vet and an auto mechanic I could trust. Right! I found the vet after 4 years. The mechanic came sooner.
Luckily my next door neighbor introduced me to her mechanic, Aaron Larkin. I felt like I had been touched by an angel. About 4 times when I had him look at my car he told me to stop worrying because it wasn’t as bad as we thought., He was able to make an adjustment and no new part was needed. Sometimes he wouldn’t charge me because it was such an easy fix. Who is this man? I had never chased an auto mechanic down the street trying to get him to take my money.
When he finally opened his own shop I was first in line. Twice in just the past 4 months Aaron has found a way to fix the car without spending a fortune. The first time he saved me over $ 1,000 by finding a used part. The second time there were 4 things in a series in the engine that possibly needed to be replaced. He said he thought there was a chance that he could replace the first item and it might fix the whole thing, but it was only about a 25% chance. And if he had to replace everything it was going to be over $ 1500 just for parts. Guess what? His educated guess worked and it only cost me $ 167. He could have lied and I never would have known.
Honest. Reliable (he does what he promises and does it when he says he will). On the side of the customer. His business model is to please the customer with the best service possible and hope that the customer will return over and over. He’s right about that. I’ve been coming back for 7 years. And maybe the best part for someone like me on a fixed income is that he doesn’t bleed you dry. He charges what is fair, not what everybody else charges and not whatever he can get out of you.
This guy is the best of the best.
Consider this a 10 star review!

Best service I’ve had, Roy (guy in the front desk) was kind and funny. Aaron told me it would only take 25 min for my car to be ready, fastest oil change I’ve had so far. Price is cheap and best of all no pressure on selling you things. They told me all the bad parts on my vehicle, asked me if I needed or wanted anything else and got me on my way. Very satisfied with the service. For sure going to Aaron’s for an oil change again.

I went in based on Unilocal reviews. I needed an honest mechanic to look at my brakes since Midas had told me I needed replacements and I wasn’t sure I was ready for an auto expenditure that high. I brought it in to Aaron’s for a second opinion and he looked at it and told me I was good for a while but a tire had a nail and he removed and patched it up but I was definitely going to need new tires, which I already knew. So Thank you Aaron for being an honest mechanic. When my brakes are ready for replacement, I’m definitely bringing to him.

I needed to repair my RX-​7. Since it’s a rotary engine, not many mechanics are willing to look at it. I was blessed to have met Aaron.
He gave an honest diagnostic of the problems with the car and explained them so that a non mechanic could understand. The prices for repair were most reasonable and if you’re on a tight budget, he’ll recommend a priority list for fixing the more important issues first.
Great location off the freeway with prompt and courteous service, wonderful experience!

Thank you SO much for taking care of me! I went in expecting the worse and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome.
Aaron educated me on what the issue was, what he did to fix it, what I can do to prevent it, and also gave me advice on what I may want to plan on replacing in the future. He was extremely knowledgable, professional, personable, and I never once felt like he was taking advantage of my lack of car knowledge. (Which can and has happened at other places I’ve gone to)
Definitely have found my car place! Thank you Aaron!!!

Aaron is the real deal! I brought my Nissan Maxima in for an oil leak and transmission service and was extremely pleased with how well the job was done.
Aaron is honest, hard working and knows what he is doing. He explained the issue with the car and how it would be fixed in a way anyone can understand. He also showed me the failed part as well as the new one he was going to install. He didnt try to sell me on work that didnt need to be done but did advise me of other issues with my car that MIGHT need to be addressed soon. No pressure to do it RIGHT NOW or try to scare me into thinking I needed to fork over more money to get things fixed that werent really a problem yet.
His labor rates are very good and he does the job quickly and right the first time. I will always take my car to Aaron even though he is about a 25 min drive from where I live. Its hard to find a honest mechanic with real integrity anymore but Aaron is just that.

Great experience at Aaron’s Auto. I went in for an oil change, Aaron and his dad were so pleasant. I had a couple of my children with me, so they put Little House on the Prairie on, then offered hot chocolate. Aaron quickly got started on the car. Once finished, not only did he do an oil change, fill fluids, check EVERYTHING, but he offed to switch my better tires to the front. Once the car had a check-​up and got clean oil, Aaron let me know of a few things that are going to need some attention soon. He was not trying to up sell, but clearly making me aware of a few things that will need to be fixed within the next few months. For the first time, my husband agreed with the diagnosis given from a mechanic and trusts him! YAY! We have found a mechanic to stick with and trust.

It’s simple. They have great customer service, fast and always resolves the problem in my car. On top of that. Prices are so affordable! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. Keep up the good work guys!

We are absolutely thrilled to have met Aaron. Finding someone that is fair and honest with our vehicles is a rare find, but we found it with Aaron. We are looking forward to a long relationship and delighted to have him maintain our cars, even when we beat them up and run them down. Thank you for the patience and for your service. :) Referring friends for sure.

Aaron made some major repairs on my Honda Odyssey and we are very pleased! He explained everything along the way and made the process painless. He’s very trustworthy and hardworking. They even gave me a car to use while mine was fixed (free of charge). I refer everyone I know here and will keep coming back!

A good mechanic is hard to find and Aaron is one of the best in my book. He is a friendly and knowledgeable Master Mechanic with integrity. He treats his customers the way he’d want to be treated: fair and honest. We live in Napa and take our cars to Aaron in Concord to be serviced.
We have had a couple of our cars serviced by him and always in a timely manner. He replaced the transmission in my Honda Odyssey (the Mothership), recommended things to look out for as it gets older and helped get our daughter’s commuter car ready for college.
We have recommended Aaron to our friends and anyone who asks for a dependable mechanic. You are getting more than you pay for when you go to Aaron’s Auto: quality service and the assurance that the job is being done right.
