Review №1

Great Machine shop attached to a large auto mechanical shop. The shop looks well equipped and not too busy to take smaller orders. I recommend going in person rather than calling in. Over the phone, I was told one price and schedule. When I came in 2 days later, I dealt with a different person who squeezed me in right there and for half the price. Definitely walk-in, because you could catch them in a lull period and really get a deal. Excellent customer service and Im happy with the work. I found a new go to machine shop.

I found Wise Auto Tech on the AAA site and saw they had a really high rating, I felt confident about bring my car in for brake pad replacement.My last oil change with Big O told me I was basically metal to metal and would need to replace the pads and rotors immediately. They always have a laundry list of issues, its a gross sales tactic.I dropped my car off at Wise this morning and was contacted 2 hours later, as promised. They informed me no change was needed and I had 6 months or more based on my driving. They could have totally made a sale and chose to be totally honest with me. I appreciate it so much and will definitely be back when it is time.

Owner said nothing wrong with car, but the 2005 Audi needed a new water tank - part only $300 but labor $1200 - and a new timing belt. I agreed - $2000 in repairs - since he assured me I was going to be able to drive this car for 5+ years. I drove from Oakland to Gilroy the weekend I got the car back - and the car broke down halfway there. After calling the owner, owner refused to see the car again and hung up on me when I called. So I took it to the Audi dealership. Not only did the car have the tubes hooked up wrong from when they replaced the water tank, but they also failed to tell me that there was an issue with the spark plugs - the exact issue I told them I was getting a code for on my engine reader. Do not trust these people at Wise.

I took my Mazda MX-5 in for brake issues, oil leak, and basic fluid changes. My partner had been bringing her car in here for years so I thought I would give it a try. He found the oil leak, fixed brakes and other items. Running very nice now and more importantly stopping better.

My beemers head melted down, Wise replaced it with one he had machined at his own shop for a very reasonable price, its been spinning like a top ever since. I have 100% confidence in his advice, pricing and reliability of hi work. Best show in town.

Provided me with great customer service but, his job was outstanding. Furthermore, he went above of what I asked him to do, and did some other little details on the car with out extra charging. So please with the service

Owner seemed nice enough, but I got a head pressure tested for $75 and the tech tried to tell me it was warped and needed to be machined for another $45. When I went to pick it up and asked to see the straight edge on the head, the warp was mysteriously gone. The same tech also couldnt tell the difference between aluminum and steel, and still wouldnt believe me until I told him to put a magnet on it (it was aluminum). As I was leaving, a guy came up that was given two left side heads for his v8. They couldnt figure out how they rebuilt it wrong, insisting that they didnt switch the heads, despite the shop having random blocks and heads strewn all over the place.

Wise and his crew have kept my vehicles running for years.Im mechanically inclined but when I either dont have time or its out of my area of expertise I take my vehicles to wise.Theyve rebuilt engines for me, and taken care of all the computer associated repairs.There are always bumps in the road when dealing with any resource you have to rely on.But Ive always been taken care of by these folks. And I always recommend them to my friends.
