Fremont United Auto Service — Local services in Fremont

We have been with FUAS for a long long time. I couldn't even recall who referred us in the first place. But my entire family uses FUAS when they started in the very beginning in Newark. We saw this company grow from a 1-man repair shop to today. I would say the success of the owner, Alex, is duly due to his honesty to his customers. If you don't need to repair, he will tell you it's not necessary. If your car is too old and it doesn't worth to spend the money, he asks you not to. But if you have a kid, he will ask you to consider safety first. He doesn't treat you as a product. He treats your car as his car.

I don't use my car often so it's not from the wear and tear. My mileage when I brought it to this shop was: 86k., now it's 89k. Spark plugs do not get old 3k, a year later. Makes me wonder what other work was charged to me and never done. I'm so disappointed. I have been going to this shop when I lived in Fremont, my sister still goes to this shop and I have trusted Alex all this time. It just makes me...

DO NOT GO THERE.

This repair shop is worse. I went to change axle, but was told to change bearings as well I dont know whether it was needed. I ended up having the work done. They did a poor job, within 12 months the poorly dont bearing job causes the bearing to fail, the hub flang is totally ripped ofc the spines(teeth), the snap ring is gone and the bearinfs are gone too Their poorly done job caused major road hazard in the middle of highway with children in the back seat. While looking at my previous repairs record. I found they over charged for parts, over estimated...
