Mariposa
There's a reason why the ratings from so many yelpers are so high for this auto shop and that's because, it's the absolute best in the valley! I have been taking various clunkers to Bogi and the crew at 180 auto all the way back in the day when they were in their original building (even before the 7th ave location). Finding a trustworthy, ethical, efficient, and honest mechanic is like winning the lottery. I have been in some really awful situations with various cars over the years (I think I have car karma, or "carma" as I affectionately refer to it). One of the things that just blows me away is the kindness and openness in dealing with any of the staff at 180 auto. They consistently rise above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to helping me out with my assortment of mechanical problems with cars I have had them work on. Given the fact that every car I have had over the years has been a junker and held together with a combination of duct tape, paper clips, and gum, I can only tell you that the mechanics, and Bogi in particular, are like car magicians! They do whatever they can to work on the repairs that they know are critical, based upon my budget at the time. I really like that fact that they do a complete analysis on what's going on with my car and break it down by the most urgent repairs, to things that are really important, but the car will keep going if it doesn't happen immediately. The fact that each car I have brought in over the years was a disaster on wheels didn't matter to them. They treated me (and still do) with the same level of care and respect as if I was bringing them a porche or jaguar to work on. It doesn't matter that me and my janky hooptie cars are ghetto-unfabulous, I get the same attention and care as if I were a millionaire. Most importantly, they are honest! No hidden mark-up's on parts and labor and they don't create "problems" that don't exist to try and milk you out of your money. Like I said, finding a place like this is rare, and while I'm sure I could write another 20 pages of praise about Bogi and the crew, I'll wrap this up by saying, find out for yourself what an honest and reliable auto shop should be like, go see Bogi and sfaff at 180 Auto!
