25 years ago this was the trusted local auto repair place to go in El Sobrante. My father went as I did myself, but in recent years I would "not" go to this place, as my father stop himself after they repaired his radiator, he drove 2 miles, car broke down because they messed with the electrical (what's that got to do with the radiator?), then he brought the car back to Burrough, and then they tried to charge him for an anogstic test and electrical work. This place is borderline shady. Very questionable about their practices and pricing. I wouldn't take my truck to Borrough even if the oil changes were free. One of my many experiences with Borrough & shady Sons, they tried to charge me over $1000 for a tune-up with basic stock parts. Their prices are similar to a dealership so why would I go to Borrough? So, I broke down the cost, bought high end parts instead (including distributor cap and wiring, total $100), and got another mechanic down the road to do the tune-up for $150. Total cost: $250. Avoid this place, seek mechanic work elsewhere, or purchase higher quality parts and do it yourself.
We have been in business for 22 years. Must be the previous repair shop at this location. Even so, sorry for your poor experience.
