Consumer Comments for AMA Autocare

Consumer from OAKLAND, CA
Jan 31, 2025

I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonableness of the prices quoted and charged for the maintenance on my car. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Recommended highly.

I have used them multiple times and each and every time the owners and workers were honest and courteous. Every repair they tried to find the cheapest but more permanent solution and would consult me about parts and labor before actually doing anything. A great local business that is out there trying to make an honest living with honest work and great work ethic. I cannot recommend highly enough.

A good local shop. The owner is very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are very good and comparable to other low-cost shops and certainly much lower than dealers.
