This towing service was sent to me after contacting my insurance company for roadside assistance. The second the driver arrived (Armstead Automotive Repair & Service) he indicated he couldn't get the car out because he would have to drag it around and indicated I would need a tow truck with a dolly. After he left I had to contact my roadside assistance again and the sent another tow truck. A short time later a tow truck from TAYLOR FAMILY CAR CARE arrived. After the new driver arrived he had my car loaded on the flatbed in a matter of minutes with no problems at all. The first driver from Armstead

I made an appointment for an oil change and wanted my tires rotated which I was of course willing to pay for. They constantly send coupons to my home. The one I gave them was for a discounted oil change and a multi point inspection. They did the oil change, totally skipped the multi point inspection with no comments about it, told me my tires were in too bad of shape to rotate & already had four new tires written up for me in case I wanted to spend an extra several hundred dollars. Really? I'm using a coupon to save a few bucks on an oil change. Plus, my tires are fine. Not new but certainly not

I had a defrost problem, they let me know what needed to be done. We made an appointment. They did the work in the time frame they gave me and within the estimate. They also helped with a recall problem, I was able to get fixed through Gm. Good experience! Thank you! I'll return.

Armstead did a terrific job diagnosing my SUV’s needs and correcting the issues as well as doing routine maintenance. They diagnosed issues the Lincoln dealer could not. They exceeded my expectations.

Our motorhome had a blowout on the expressway late on a Saturday. We had it towed to their parking lot.
We showed up first thing Monday morning to explain the situation. They could not have been more accommodating. Turns out there was too much damage and the insurance company decided to totaled our motorhome. It sat in their driveway for almost 2 weeks during this process before it was finally towed away.
It had to be inconvenient for them but they never complained once.
I would recommend this company to anyone.

Very displeased! My daughters car had electrical issues. They couldn’t get the electrical issues to repeat itself while they had it. I asked them to keep it longer, to check it periodically. After two days of nothing, I picked the car up. The very next time my daughter started the car, the electrical issues were there, which makes me question whether they bothered to check it more than once. In addition, they wouldn’t let me user the mailer coupon I had because they didn’t do any work. Not even a split the cost compromise. Will not be returning.

Needed a new set of tires, they were able to provide a quote for several different options and price ranges. Got me scheduled right away and the job done timely. Everyone was helpful and courteous, would definitely recommend!

I took my moms car in to have it inspected before she went out of town for a road trip. They went above and beyond checking everything to make sure she would be safe. Even checked the license plate light. They did find a few things that they recommend being done before she left and also gave us a heads up on a few things to watch that didnt need to be done right away but could in a the future. Jon was amazing and communicate very well with me during the whole repair process. And I believe they where very far on there prices for parts and labor. Being a women sometimes you feel places can take advantage

Made an appointment for an oil change an hour and a half later I'm still sitting here. The coupon says $19 now I'm informed it's $48 after many years of coming here I will not be back.

Edit: Two hours later I'm out..."We didn't have the type of oil you needed" it's a 2017 Ford van for Pete's sake not a Ferrari and I told them what kind vehicle it was when I made the appointment four days ago.

I've taken my vehicles to Armsteads for everything from oil changes to more extensive repairs. They have always been completely honest and the work was done right and in a timely manner. I trust them and recommend them to others.

It's pretty simple: these guys have delivered the best customer service I have ever received from any automotive establishment anywhere, in many decades of auto ownership. They've done a good job with my car, and a brilliant job of making me a satisfied customer. Have and will continue to wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone in the north Oakland area needing service of any kind.

This is where you need to take your car for a few reasons. First, they're honest. They'll tell you what needs to be fixed on your car and what's worn but can last I little longer. I respect that because I'm going to grad school and I'm on limited budget. Second, service. I've watched them do all the repairs on my car and they do a good job while staying within my budget. Lastly, the little things. They hook up the air fresheners, drinks in the fridge, and keychains galore!

Bottom line: My car is old and sucks, yet they keep it running on a limited budget. (Golf

Horrible service. Called them to tow my dune buggy. Asked if I could meet them at my mechanics shop the next morning at 9:00 AM. They said " no problem.". Next day they left me waiting for 45 minutes before I called them to find out what was going on. The guy that answered the phone was complete idiot and told me they forgot about me. No apology, and no phone call. Don't use this service.
