I've been taking my vehicle to Tony at Tomoko since 2017 and have never had a bad experience. Tony is a great mechanic and runs an honest shop. The couple times I've had expensive repairs, he explained what my options were, what each would cost, and his recommendation. I'd recommend Tomoko Auto to anyone looking for a solid, trustworthy mechanic.

Just found this place and took my car to them for the first time. Tony's assessment of the repairs needed and guidance in prioritizing tasks was super helpful, and made it clear that his priority is making aire his customers have safe, reliable vehicles rather than just making a buck or two. I don't see us going anywhere else now that we've discovered this shop.

Tony is a great mechanic, he's affordable, and he's honest. After many years of taking my car to Tony, I've come to trust that he only does what really needs to be done. He communicative about his work, and makes reasonable recommendations. He's very friendly, efficient, and you can tell he's not in it for the money. This is just his craft, and he's good at it. Highly recommend.
