Castro Valley Auto Repair

Came to Bud Adams Auto for an engine noise (needed an oil change). They noticed a defective tire and had a new one ordered and changed next day, only having to drive on the spare for the short trip home overnight. We've relied on Bud Adams for about 20 years, since our previous mechanic retired. Wouldn't consider going to any other auto repair.

Best in the Bay Area!

Wasn't sure about the place when I first moved to Castro Valley 20 years ago. But started to go there about 10 years ago and have been a loyal customer since then. The quality of customer care is great, and the service has always been done right.

Bill a longtime friend !! Honest shop owner !

Wonderful people!

I have been using Bud Adam's shop for several years for routine maintenance and have never been disappointed. In fact, I have found that the advice that I get from "Bud" has been so straight forward and honest that I treat him as my primary go-to advisor on any major automobile decisions. As an example, I own a 2004 Prius hybrid which recently displayed a warning that the main battery needed to be replaced. The Toyoda dealer gave us an estimate of about $4000. My wife and I were not sure that we wanted to sink that much more money into an almost 10 year old car.So we called Bud to ask his advise. Bud's understanding of the auto market and ability to clearly explain the options, including the likeliness of getting another 100 thousand miles of use out of the car made our decision very easy. We had Bud do the main battery replacement and some additional work and have been delighted with the results. Whenever I have a major automobile decision to make, I will always go to Bud.

As a new comer to Castro Valley, I asked around and Bud Adams Auto Repair was suggested. When I went in to see them, I said "I am a new widow, my husband always took care of the car. Please take care of my needs". I have been there, three times since. I"ll go again next week for a Transmission Oil change. Each time the car problems have been corrected and the car runs like a "great 1997 Pontiac" should.

Bud Adams diagnosed my problem and fixed it with one hour labor versus the dealer which always has minimum 2 hours labor. They also do not give you high pressure sales pitch for unnessary maintenance.
