Z&D Auto Repair

I had a great experience here. I came in for a tire replacement, wheel alignment, and an oil change. My car is a bit older, and they also did a thorough check and took care of a few small issues along the way. Super professional service, fair pricing, and no upselling. Everything felt honest and well done. Really appreciate their attention to detail. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for an honest, knowledgeable mechanic that can diagnose and fix your car with timely expertise, Z&D Automotive is the place to go!!! Zach, the owner and primary mechanic is the most knowledgeable mechanic my husband and I have ever used. My father is now using him and him, and him only as he said, “I don’t trust anyone but Zach.” Not only is he a super mechanic, but he is also very good with people. He explains everything in layman’s terms that needs to be done with your car and he is very affordable, he definitely does not price gouge! He always has given us the estimate up front. Again, if you want your car fixed right the first time, I would highly recommend Zach at Z&D Automotive!!!!

Zach is very professional. He did a great job for checking and fixing my car. The price is very good. The repair turnover time is also very quick. Zach not only fixed my car but also explained the issues very clearly. Z&D auto repair is definitely the best one in Bay area!

I’ve been bringing our RX350 to Z&D Auto for a while now—previously we did oil changes and brakes, always at a very fair price. Recently, we started noticing a high-pitch whining noise from the engine that got louder when pressing the gas. We were a bit worried since engine noises could mean costly repairs. Zach took the car in, did a careful diagnosis, and tracked it down to a worn alternator. He didn’t just say “the alternator needs replacing”—he patiently explained the issue and even demonstrated how a good alternator should sound compared to a failing one. He broke down the costs clearly (parts and labor) and assured me he only uses high-quality replacement parts. Later that same day, he called to let me know the repair was finished. I actually didn’t expect it to get fixed so quickly.

We would strongly recommend this shop to anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and ethical mechanic. After being told by a dealership that our coolant had leaked internally and might have damaged the engine, we were quoted $15,000 for repairs. I was so overwhelmed I couldn't sleep and even broke down crying. Thankfully, we came to Z&D for a second opinion -- and it changed everything. Zach took the time to thoroughly inspect our vehicle and found no signs of coolant leakage or engine damage, directly contradicting the initial diagnosis. He explained his findings with complete transparency, instantly restoring our peace of mind. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to move forward with confidence. The car is now driving perfectly without any issues. Zach truly acted in our best
