Honest shop. For all the car problems, we will always ask this shop for help, sometimes free of charge versus 200 dollars, sometimes 300 dollars versus 2000+.

Splendid service on my Nissan Quest! I had a bad experience at Milpitas auto repair shop where they recommended that I change the cooling system, costing me $1100, but I still had the same issue. I learned my lesson not to go back to that shop again. Thankfully, a friend recommended AKW and Master Wang. He is extremely experienced, and after I described my issue, he immediately suspected the thermostat/counter was the culprit, and he was right! He fixed it for under $200 bucks. Since then, he has been my go-to person for all my car issues.

I have always been to AKW for major maintenance and brake work of my two Toyota cars, even it is not very close to my home. Mr. Wang is very kind and skilled. This is a small busniess, very honest with reasonable price. Today I thought my brake may need some work so I dropped my car in the morning. Later on Mr. Wang told me the brake looked OK after inspection, and he even didn't charge me for the inspection. I'm always happy with their service.

I'm super satisfied with the level of professionalism and service given by Michael. He's super chill and have a calm demeanor. I really appreciate the time and care they put on my car and I can't express happily enough. I went to them two years ago to fix up my lease car that had a huge rear ended dent. Now today they fixed my rocker panel like new! They're the best in the bay! Thank you!! Definitely recommend them!!

I have been using their auto services for all of our cars, three of them for the last 5 years. They have done great jobs, with reasonable prices, and they are also very friendly.

Just moved my son from LA and heard about Master Wang's reputation. So called the AAA today to tow LS400,1996 dead engine from Santa Clara to San Jose. 30 min was a little far but worth it. 11;00am arrived and ready to pickup 4:00pm. Replaced the fuel pump and price is reasonable. Can not be wrong with this honest shop.

I came to AKW Auto to get the brake of my car replaced today. Michael is very professional and Wang Shifu is also very nice. He explained to me what options I have with reasonable prices. I'm satisfied with the service they provided today and will definitely come back again in the future. Highly recommended!

I don't know about this place. Family has been coming here for years. But recently got my car fixed after hydroplaning into a sidewalk. Minor damages.
First, my car was hella dirty from black oily fingerprints on seats and car door etc. my floor mats were dirty as hell. I know their mechanics but at least try to return my car close to the condition I brought it in. Rude
Second, they said that my car was good to go in every aspect. Literally a week later my car hydroplanes again and I've been driving real careful ever since. A week later my coworker who knows cars checked my front tires and said those need to be changed right away. Their worn, not safe, and definitely look like they will hydroplane. Back wheels were still good.
Price and flexibility in terms of time was the only thing they got going for them. But none of that matters when they put my life in danger and have dirty people working there. AvoidHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ingrid S.Cupertino, CA02Oct 29, 2018
We've received such thoughtful service from AKW auto!We dropped our car off for a battery replacement and later called back to see if we can have our maintenance done as well since it's been a while(probably a bit over-due). On the other side of the phone, they told us that they've checked while the car was there and notice the car was due for some maintenance, so they've done it for us.
We were very pleased with the experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
