Overall very satisfied with my experience with Oakdale Garage. Vehicle repairs were performed in a professional, knowledgeable and timely manner. My vehicle is performing as expected. Tommy did an amazing job explaining to me the repairs my vehicle needed. He also kept me informed of my vehicles status and thoroughly explained recommended service/ maintenance recommendations. Its nice to finally find a Garage that I cant trust to provide quality service and repairs at a reasonable cost. I cant say that I look forward to doing business in the future, but I will definitely return to the Oakdale Garage for all my vehicle service needs in the future. Phillip Douglas

We recently moved to Oakdale and finding an honest and reliable auto repair shop was a concern. Oakdale Auto Care and Tire has been fantastic. They are honest, they are reliable and they are fast. We have had them do several jobs for us and every time we have been more than pleased. Thanks

We service all makes and models and come to you. Low rates, and open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I restored a 1970 BMW. This shop disassembled the transmission and reassembled it. I asked them to replace seals, fluids and let me know if there were issues. They I paid them to install the transmission as we had issues connecting it to the engine. I was charged about $1500 for the work. We got the engine working a few months ago and took it for a ride. The transmission leaks and the car will not go to second gear. I talked to Bud about it and he refused to work on it or refund money for the work. He blamed it on me and my car for some reason. I paid him what he asked. He told me to sue him if I wanted to get the money back. Worst car repair transaction I have ever experienced.

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. On July 17, we dropped off our 150 due to a “service engine” light. Later that day we were told the catalytic converter needed to be replaced and was under warranty. He said it was ordered and the truck would be ready on the 20th. On the 20th we were told it would be ready on the 23rd. On the 23rd, we were told it SHOULD be ready on the 27. We were eventually told the part had NOT been ordered because the supplier was out?! Why had they given me three dates it would be ready then? After being given the runaround, I called Detroit (several times) and they found a cat converter two hours away! Tracy Ford told me they would have to drive it 50 miles to ensure the service engine light reset. They said they would also have to do a cold start the next morning at 7:00am when they opened and would call us when it was ready. They finally called at 7:46 and my wife went down to get it. The service manager had left (we heard that MANY times during the ordeal). The car rental that Tracy Ford had said they would cover was a whole different nightmare so I understand why other reviewers mentioned problems between Tracy Ford and car rental agencies. The final insult added to injury (I hope) is that the service manager PROMISED my wife that he had personally ensured that I would never hear from them again. After two e-mails and a phone call from them, I assume the ordeal is not over yet. My advice is to avoid Tracy Ford like the plague. I hope this is not the direction Ford Motor Company is heading.

They are friendly and honest and did a good job on my car. I am so sensitive on my car and it was hard to find a reliable place , here at this place they gives you confidence to trust them. They are offering the cheapest price in town and they have unbelievable price for smog which is only for $40 everything smog fee and certificate. I'll be back for sure.

First off, Al is one of a kind. He is truly a passionate professional. I believe he has been in this location for about 20 years. I brought my car in for a full tune-up. It was my first experience at Quality Auto. Ive passed by many times but never used the service till recent. He is a completely honest man and does anything possible to help save a penny. Seems like most of his costumers have been around him for a long time. Many people in the business were very warm and friendly with him as I was sitting in the office. It clearly showed trust and made me feel even more better bringing my car to him. Mechanics these days are very hard to trust, that's not the case with Al at Quality Auto in Turlock. Rosa

We are considering buying a used car. I called to ask what it would cost to have it inspected. I found out the inspection is without cost. This is a family run business that takes diligent care of it's customers and great pride in their work. Like the olden days! Thank you Balswick's!!! PS They are the ONLY one's we trust our oil changes and smog checks to. Courteous, attentive, honest, and quick!
