The air conditioning unit in your vehicle operates similarly to a refrigerator. Your vehicle's air conditioning unit is designed to move heat from the inside of your car to outside of it. The refrigerant carries heat. In modern cars, refrigerant is a substance called R-134a. Older cars' refrigerant is called r-12 freon, which is more expensive and difficult to find than R-134a.
Your vehicle's radiator helps keep your engine cool. Overheated engines can lead to numerous problems, including eventual breakdowns. Your vehicle' radiator sits at the front of the engine bay; it's made up of slim, hollow channels that run between the inlet and outlet tanks. Coolant pumps through tubes to the engine, where it is warmed.
When your vehicle does not steer correctly, it can make driving more difficult, and it can negatively affect other components of the vehicle, such as the tires and the axle. The most important components of proper steering and suspension are wheel alignment, shocks and struts and balljoints and tie rods.

Really surprised to see such a rude person. Came for diagnostics after car broke down and Mark found problem with transmission, no problem there. Later was given an estimate on the work needed. And when I was just asking normal questions about pricing, he was super rude and telling me that if other places promised me cheaper price. I should go there. I am going through divorce, and big move across the country, and just was trying to figure out how to pay $ 6500 repair costs. Next day Mark emailed me saying that I better go somewhere else.so he refused to provide service. Which surprised me even

I had an appointment at All Automotive. When I called to inform them I would not be able to make it I was rudely hung up on. I'm trying to find a reliable mechanic and All Automotive will not be getting my business. They must have no need for customers treating people like that.

I had a great experience, the DMV required a star smog for my vehicle so I came here. The shop is very clean, and Mark was very professional. My car failed the first time and Mark was helpful explaining possible causes and pointed me in the right direction to get things working properly. The shop is a bit hard to see, but it’s a diamond in the rough worth checking out.

He knows what his value is and charges accordingly. I went to him today for a brakes issue and was ready to double check with everything to ensure I needed what he suggested. Turns out, he found the smallest issue and just charged for the time he spent on it and gave recommendations on a unique issue I've never heard of before for the next brake job that we do need. Priceless.

Just hung up with Mark. I need a smog for my motorhome to complete registration and was having trouble finding anyone in the area doing them with COVID creating back-logs for all. Mark explained he had no room right now on his lot but spent 15 minutes with me on the phone helping me to find an alternative option. Customer service at it's best! All Automotive will be handling our future automotive needs. Thanks Mark!

Best Smog Shop on the Peninsula! I wasn't able to get my RV smog cert bc the shops were not professionally equipped, I brought my RV to this smog shop and Mark shop was by far equipped to service space shuttles. Mark is the most thorough smog Technician on this Planet! Very happy with this smog shop and highly recommend to anyone bringing their vehicle here. *****

Good, honest people. When I can, I work on my cars myself, but was lacking the tools for this job. This mechanic knew his stuff, gave me a fair price for the work, and got it done in a timely fashion. He also set me up with a buyer for the vehicle I was getting worked on. The buyer had brought in another vehicle for a pre-purchase inspection, at which point Mark, the mechanic, told him it was a lemon and steered him towards mine instead. So that was a nice bonus for taking my truck there.
Overall, couldn't ask for better service.

He never called the police to have me removed. your wife is the one who came out yelling at the top of her lungs. So much disrespect here
I have never had an experience as dishonest and unprofessional as with Mark. I brought my truck in for a long crank which was not fixed and over charged just to mention one of 10 jobs he felt needed. When I called him and stated that the long crank time has not been fixed he stated that there was a big improvement. My truck had a hard time shifting from the moment I got it from All Automotive to the point where I had to tow it to another mechanic. Mark told

I love this place. Went in for a smog because they are the only licensed ones that can do it now and they were honest with me, and Mark and Cathy (hopefully I spelled the name right) are awesome! I have a VW and was told at the smog check that some brackets were broken and that most VWs have this problem. I called and made an appointment and had them replaced, tires rotated and an oil change. The price was right and I feel that they are very honest and I trust them. I will go there if I need the car repaired, but, of course, hopefully I don't need to go. I would recommend them to anyone
