Stockton Auto Repair

Staff was very friendly and helpful. I had them do a full inspection on my car. They found a few things that needed attention. They fixed a vibration/shaking of the vehicle which resulted in a high-priced repair of removing & replacing suspension control arm. They also removed and replaced spark plugs, remove and replace battery, and replaced breaks front and back. The prices were high although I didn't have time to compare other auto repair garages because I was leaving out of town two days later. I'm so glad I had it checked and feel safe in my car because of their dedication to the repairs. They also gave me a ride home which was really nice! I would recommend them.

Sheila, thank you for your detailed feedback and for trusting us with your full car inspection and repairs. Suspension control arm replacement can be a significant repair. It's great to hear you feel safer on the road and appreciated our extra care, like the ride home. We always aim to balance quality work with transparency and convenience, especially when time is limited. Your recommendation means a lot to us.

From the very beginning Toole's Garage treated me like family. They were very thorough and treated me with fairness and respect. I have never been to any other shop that could even compare to Toole's Garage. I just wish I could take them with me to Montana! Love u guys. Know that I will be back if any of my vehicles need repairs.

Tamara, hearing that you felt like family from the moment you walked through our doors means everything. Our team at Toole’s Garage works hard to bring that level of respect, fairness, and thorough care to every visit. And knowing we stood out from any shop you’ve been to? That’s the highest compliment we could hope for. We’re honored to have earned your trust (and a little piece of your heart), and if you're ever back from Montana, you’ll always have a spot here with us.

Avoid this expensive unprofessional mechanic shop! Based on my professional experience as a heavy duty mechanic, I cannot recommend Toole Garage. Their work on my Land Rover Defender—a costly fuel pump installation—was revealed to be dangerously substandard by another mechanic. The fuel lines were loosely secured, demonstrating a negligent disregard for basic safety protocols. The significant expense of their service is not reflected in the quality, which is profoundly unreliable. This discovery led me to cancel further scheduled work on another vehicle Hummer H1. Rafael has dual personality one which is extremely nice the day u first come and second is opposite of all that because now ur stuck with them, i told him how unprofessional the job was he wasn’t even sorry once about it!

Hello, your LS-swapped Land Rover is a very unique vehicle, and our team put a lot of effort into sourcing the correct parts to fix the fuel pump and filter so it would be ready for you that weekend. Because you needed the truck back quickly, our main priority was making sure it was running reliably and on time, which meant we weren’t able to spend as much time tidying the underhood lines as we normally would. We’ve also had the opportunity to help you with another vehicle, including a free diagnostic and battery installation, and we’re always happy to go the extra mile where we can. All of our repairs are backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty, and we’d be glad to have you bring the LS-swapped Land Rover back so we can address the details and make sure you’re comfortable with the work. Our goal is for every customer to feel confident in their service, and we’d welcome the chance to make this right.

Probably would never bring any of my cars here again. Brought my truck in for a diagnosis and quote to repair. The timing chain needed replacing which is a big job for this truck as the engine has to be removed. Finally got the estimate from Tooles and was quoted a ridiculous amount of money. $199 an hour plus over $2,000 in parts. This is a 2005 Ford, the parts are readily available from many different suppliers. I couldn’t understand why they would charge me 25% more for parts than if I bought directly from Ford themselves. It became very obvious after speaking to them on the phone that they just didn’t want this job. Took my truck for A Care Auto Repair and was quoted $1500 less. They actually want the work. If you don’t want the job then just be transparent about it. Don’t send me an estimate that makes no sense. For example, a $38 oil filter. What? Just tell me you don’t want the job. It was really a waste of $199 diagnostic fee because they didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know, just wasted my time with that inflated estimate which took nearly 2 days to receive.

Doreina, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience with us left you feeling frustrated and disappointed — that’s never the impression we want to give. For larger repairs like timing chain replacements, especially on vehicles where the engine must be removed, we aim to provide thorough estimates based on similar jobs we’ve completed. In your case, the valve cover damage and debris in the oil raised concerns that additional issues could come up during the repair. Our goal was to give you a realistic idea of the potential cost so you could make an informed decision about moving forward. We understand our estimate was higher than you expected, and we know how frustrating that can feel. We price parts according to what’s available from our suppliers, and when possible, we refine sourcing to pass along savings to our customers. Our estimates also reflect the value of our 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty, which is designed to provide long-term peace of mind. That said, we know every situation is different, and we respect your decision to find the option that was right for you. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to look at your truck, and we’ll use your feedback to keep improving how we communicate with our customers about estimates and repairs.

I had a very positive experience at Toole's Garage. Rafael was exceptionally welcoming, friendly, and informative. It was almost fate that I experienced a car issue right in front of their establishment. In short, the overall experience was excellent. The only aspect that could be improved was the pricing, as I felt it was slightly high. Specifically, the test and analysis cost $200, which seemed a bit excessive. I believe that a price of $200 would be fair if we had decided against having the car serviced at that location. However, considering I did choose to have the service performed there, and the total cost amounted to $800.00 (for a rather easy fix), I feel the $200 should've been waived. This is how the other mechanic shops do business, in my past experience. However, their customer service is truly outstanding. After resolving the initial problem with my car, they identified another issue that requires attention. I do intend to return to them to address this additional concern.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback! We’re glad Rafael and the team made you feel welcome and informed—that’s always our goal. We appreciate your thoughts on pricing and understand how that can impact the experience. We’ll take your comments to heart as we continually review our policies to provide the best value for our customers. We look forward to helping you with that next issue and continuing to earn your trust.

Update (9/15/2025): Since my first visit, I have returned to Toole's Garage twice more, and Rafael & Doc have consistently provided excellent service. The second visit was to address a pulsation damper leak, and the third was to repair my AC system. They are truly genuine and honest guys, and they have certainly earned my trust. I am very pleased to have discovered such a fantastic auto shop in central Stockton. The prices for the last two visits were also pretty reasonable. These gentlemen are wonderful!
