Really incredible team and timely, trustworthy service. Flat tire that occurred across the street and after hours, dropped the car off in the lot with a note and the team found a way to acquire the right tire, and had it replaced same day with clear, consistent communication and a fair price. Didn't think this would be possible so quickly and am very grateful for them finding a way to make it happen despite an otherwise busy schedule. Thank you very much!

PLEASE READ. On August 5 I had my Fiat 500 Abarth (IYKYK) towed to Orinda Motors for what I thought to be a dead battery. I selected Orinda Motors because of the glowing reviews, and especially because I wanted to support a local business. Upon replacing the battery ($500.22), Francisco informed me that the car still would not start. I authorized diagnostic tests to figure out what the issue ($235). This $235 inspection led them to decide they needed to get to the timing belt and cam shafts and dismantle the engine ($470 for partial dismantle). So, trusting and believing they had performed all diagnostics, I authorized them to dismantle my engine. A few days later, I received a call from Francisco now explaining that they didn't have the tools to complete taking the engine apart. I became worried (what kind of shop dismantles an engine without realizing they don't have the tools?!) and requested the engine be reassembled. I had the car towed to Fiat Burlingame. Within 15 minutes of my appointment time, the dealer using a simple multi-meter, determined that the car had a parasitic radio that would drain any new battery. Fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes. Orinda Motors held my beloved Abarth for nearly 2 weeks and charged me $1242 to essentially do nothing other than replace a battery that went instantly dead. I requested a refund, never heard back, and have since lodged a complaint with BAR in the hopes of getting a partial refund. Please go elsewhere.
