The guys at Callagy Automotive are very professional, honest, and friendly. They do top-notch work for reasonable prices, and they are happy to answer questions, provide details about the work done, or warn you what might be needed in the future. I mean things like "Your brake pads are getting a little thin, but we'll just keep an eye on them at your next tuneup" and things like that. My wife and I have been taking our cars to John for more than 3 years, and never had a complaint about the work. They stand behind everything they do. Andrew Holroyd-Sills

I have a 20 year old truck that was having engine light issues and not passing smog. John worked on my truck and got it too pass the smog test. John also discovered during the smog test that I had another oxygen sensor that was about ready to fail when tested. John suggested that I replace the sensor now so I wouldn't have the engine light pop up again like it had been doing for the last 6 months. I am very happy with the experience and will be using Callagy Automotive for my future truck and automotive repair needs.

My mom, my daughter, and myself, have been bringing our cars to him for over 15 years. He's always been professional, affordable, and takes the time to explain. I trust the work he does as we've always had good running cars because of him.

Extremely satisfied customer since 2008. They know what they're doing, know what your car needs and never try to sell you on something it doesn't. Every business should run like this.

John Callagy has serviced my vehicles for over 20 years. That should say it all. He knows his business! He interfaces with his customers directly and factually about the diagnosis. He cares about his customers. He approaches his service with competence and integrity. Virtues hard to find these days. When you pay your bill, his two, canine, back-office pals are happy to bark an enthusiastic thank you! Thank you, John for being there all these years!

The battery in my Mini died and cost at local BMW for replacement was well over $1000. Called and Callagy was able to order new battery and it replace in a timely and efficient manner at Way below BMW cost quote. Very satisfied with the service.

They do what they say and you can trust their recommendations. They are honest and do excellent work. My Jeep is 15 years old and prior to getting recommended to Callagy, other repair shops tried to do work that wasn't necessary. I won't take my Jeep anywhere else!

Over many, many years I have taken my cars to John Callagy and his partner Dave Hug. This dates back to the time when their shop was the busy ARCO station on Fourth Street, Santa Rosa, and John's late father "Jac" was the accountant. I wouldn't trust my vehicle car to anyone else. John has maintained, repaired, fine-tuned, finessed all my jalopies and even extended their lives way beyond their life-expectancy. No automotive situation or challenge phases him -- he can do it all, and he does it! Well.

As a customer since I moved to this area, I would describe the service and advise that I've received from John Callagy always was in extremely professional way, clear explanation and understandable about car's problems. He is extremely polite, courteous, honest, fair, fast, friendly, and great service that he provide for his customers. Absolutely satisfied with service about my car and I definitely will take my car for any reason even if I just need his advise about my car's issues. I definitely recommend him.

Over the years, I have done business with many Auto Mechanics, some skillful & competent. others not so much. but absolutely, hands down NONE better than John Callagy. I trust all of my automotive repairs & service with Callagy and readily refer him to friends & acquaintances. John's skillful knowledge, expertise and "fender-side" : manner are Top Wrench in my book and as long as his business is around, he will have mine. Nik Catalina, Santa Rosa Ca

Looking for quality service and honest work? Look no more. I've been taking my car to Callagy auto for years. John always has your safety in mind and won't take advantage of you. Being a woman who knows about cars, other mechanics have tried to take advantage of me before, but never John. Honest guy, great service. Thanks John!

I have been taking my cars to Dave and John for more than 12 years. They are the very best at addressing any mechanical issue with my car. They are knowledgeable and super easy to talk with, which is nice when you are a woman handling your car issues. They are the best at describing what the issue is and what needs to be done. They are absolutely trustworthy and I never feel like I had work done that wasn't necessary. Additionally, a nice touch is they are great at checking all the little items like the bulb under the hood or a squeaky door hinge, small things but needed and without an extra fee. They are also wonderful at accommodating urgent timelines when needed.

Great shop, reasonable rates, the best for smog and all automotive needs. The two very experienced owners are the mechanics, so you get to talk to the person working on your car/truck. (Hate the shops w/ service managers, because you don't get to talk to the mechanic working on your vehicle.) I've been going to one of the owner/mechanics (John Callagy) for over 30 years because he always does thorough work, so I never have to worry about anything; i can just put gas in my truck and go! They work on everything from old hot rods, to 2019 vehicles.

This place is excellent. Honest, friendly and VIP service. Makes you feel like a family friend from day one. When my 15 year old Caravan car was on it's last legs, I took it here on referral from friends. They looked it over, the prognosis was poor, and the repairs would exceed the worth of the car. David was extremely sensitive and understood that I was losing a part of my family that day and handled it so kindly.

On my FIRST VISIT. I am eternally grateful to them. When I do pick out my next car, this is the ONLY place I will bring my vehicle. Definitely would trust and recommend them to anyone. Tell them "Sunny" sent you.

Sometimes we just get lucky. This happened to me some years ago when I found Callagy Automotive & Smog when needing a difficult smog inspection for an older classic automobile. John Callagy solved my problem and gave me some sound advice on how to avoid the problem in the future. Based on this service and advice I used Callagy Automotive for some additional repairs and service for my other cars.

I can honestly state that the service has always been four star and I have recommended Callagy to friends and family alike... with never a bad comment. They too continue as Callagy customers. Do yourself a favor and select Callagy Automotive the next time your car needs attention... you'll be glad you did.

I've referred friends & family to Callagy Automotive, I've only received positive responses after they've had their car serviced there. They are my go to for any repair or maintenance we need done on our cars.

When I need repairs on my vehicles I can trust Callagy Automotive to fix me up. Furthermore, I appreciate having information on what needs repair next as a result of tire rotation. I will continue to work with this shop and recommend all my friends do the same.
