Editorial review from Citysearch 1/15/2014

They have a very bad reputation. Check other sites like Yelp,Google, Better Business Bureau, Yellow pages. Save your money and dont use them. My car had engine problems and I drove it to them, the guy Martin told me that it wasnt worth repairing. So he offered to sell it by having someone look at it. He promised there is no charges for that. 3 days later their owner Chris low balls me an offer and when I wanted to take it out of their shop, he said the storage charges were $240. No where does it say on their contract that storage charges will be charged and it totally unprofessional. Very bad experience. I had to pay $240 through my savings to get the car out. more

No parking, but good repair 6/6/2013

I only took my truck to Chestnut Automotive one time so it is hard to say their quality. I have a big trailer and there was no parking for the customers and I was not satisfied with that. There was no room for me to wait to pickup my car but the repair was good. more

Chris is great-he gives you an array of options to fit your budget 5/31/2013

Chestnut Automotive offers excellent service. I like that Chris always gives a thorough description of the problems he finds with your car. He always explains the options he can provide in terms of repair work, which I appreciate. He gives options and control to the customer to decide how much to invest in fixing and upgrading their car. You can repair an older car enough to maintain it or upgrade it to run like new and they give you all your options. more

I have been to Chestnut automotive several times. My first visit was a few months ago when there was a grinding sound with my brakes and it was beginning to worry me. So I called Shop up that morning and asked if I could drop it off while I went to the game that day- so he said sure, they did a vehicle inspection and called me while I was at the game with good news and an easy, inexpensive fix. He also gave me a very plausible explanation for the grinding noise I was hearing and assured me that my braking mechanism was fine. Seems that my last replacement, the shop didn't use authentic Nissan parts and as a result, this grinding noise/feeling happens. I'm not due for new brakes, but Shop gave me an idea of the cost involved when I eventually do need brakes and told me they would get the Nissan parts to do it when the time comes.\r \r My second visit was to repair a tire- thought I was having a slow leak and yes, after a summer full of contractors at our area for various projects I did have a nail in one tire. I waited in the waiting room while they repaired the tire. Again, easy, painless and inexpensive. more

I am new to CA and my radiator when out on a Saturday in the late afternoon. The guy in the tow truck recommeded them. We drove there at 5pm, and they fixed it on the spot. Then a week later I called at the last minute for an oil change and, again, they said, ""Bring it in"". It was changed in 30 minutes. Amazing! They are my new and only automotive shop. more

I took my car to Chestnut Automotive for a complete tune up and timing belt replacement. I really appreciate the customer service I received. The owner, Chris, first gave me a great deal and went out of his way to make sure I was happy. In fact, I needed a ride to San Francisco and he took me instead of me having to take the train! I was in a hurry and really appreciated his help. I've had my car back for over a month now and it''s running better than ever. If you are looking for an honest shop that understands the value of customer service, take your care here! more
