Serving Concord on Monument Blvd Since 1990
35 Years at the Same Address
If you've driven Monument Boulevard at any point in the last three and a half decades, you've passed us. We've been at 1650 Monument Blvd since 1990 — same family, same address, same goal: give Concord drivers a shop they can count on without the runaround.
What a Neighborhood Shop Actually Means
We're not a franchise and we're not a chain. Nobody is hitting a quarterly sales target or upselling you on services your car doesn't need. When you bring your vehicle to us, you're talking to the same people who have been working on cars in this neighborhood since before some of our customers had their licenses.
That longevity matters in a practical way. We know the roads around here — the stop-and-go on Willow Pass, the longer highway stretches out toward Walnut Creek and Clayton — and we keep that context in mind when we're advising you on maintenance.
What We Do Here
- Auto repair — brakes, oil changes, engine diagnostics, cooling system, transmission, AC, and more
- STAR-certified smog checks — required for most vehicles registered in California, starting at $49.75 with coupon
- Propane refills — one of the few spots left in the East Bay where you can fill your tank by the pound instead of swapping it
Who We Serve
Most of our customers come from Concord, but we see plenty of folks from Pleasant Hill, Clayton, and Walnut Creek who've been referred by a neighbor or found us while searching for a STAR smog station. Walk-ins are welcome for smog checks and propane. For repairs, it helps to call ahead so we can make sure we have the right parts on hand — but we'll always do our best to get you in quickly.
Quick answer: Do you need an appointment?
For smog checks and propane, no appointment needed — just pull in. For repair work, calling ahead is helpful but not required. We'll tell you honestly what we can fit in that day.
