⭐☆☆☆☆ (1 star) I brought my 2013 Honda Civic into Oakdale Automotive about 7 months ago for an air conditioning problem. After dropping the car off, I went several days with no communication. When I finally called, I was told they had ordered the wrong part. After about a week without my car, I was charged roughly $1,500 just to get the A/C blowing cold again. When I picked the car up, I immediately discovered both headlights were out. I had to replace the bulbs myself. I brought the car back and asked about it, but they weren’t able to determine what caused the issue. Fast forward 7 months, and the A/C failed again. They replaced the compressor a second time. A few days later, while on a trip to the Sierras, the car suddenly lost electrical power—power steering, brakes, and multiple warning lights all came on. I was barely able to get it safely off the road in Jamestown and had to have it towed home. While preparing to replace the alternator and serpentine belt (given the mileage), I discovered several concerning issues: the main power wire to the alternator was floppy loose, the battery negative cable was not properly tightened, and a wire routing clip near the alternator wasn’t secured. Since access to the A/C compressor typically involves working in that area, it raises serious concerns about the quality of the previous work. I can’t say with absolute certainty what caused everything, but the timing and condition of these components make it hard to ignore. Overall, this was a frustrating and concerning experience—poor communication, repeat repairs, and workmanship issues that could have led to a dangerous situation. I would recommend others proceed with caution.

These guys are complete rip offs. I went to do my vehicle inspection form for uber driving… they tried to charge me $140, I almost laughed in the guys face. There’s three other places in oakdale that will do the inspection for $70. Hope this helps other people out!

In the middle of our road trip, we had a brake problem with our vehicle. The garage team was very accommodating, and our issue was resolved as quickly as possible.
