“Wow!
Kevin, and the whole team, at CARSTAR Ma’s Auto Body Burlingame, did a fantastic job fixing my broken car.
It was a somewhat complex job on a car that is basically a computer sitting on a battery.
Their service was fast, professional and expertly executed.
They kept me clearly informed all along the way.
Despite the circumstances my overall experience was a pleasure.”
“I have been going to Tony’s Auto Repair since Tony owned and ran the business. I go there because they are honest, fair, quick and helpful. I have never had a negative experience with this shop and recommend them wholeheartedly. Their entire team is helpful and friendly.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Ruppel’s. Ken, the owner, is absolutely amazing — the kind of experienced, honest, and thoughtful auto repair professional I always hoped to find. He consistently goes above and beyond, and I always feel completely confident bringing my car to him. If something is wrong, even if it’s not what I originally came in for, he’ll find it and make sure I’m safe.
Perfect example: I once went in for a simple oil change, and he noticed someone had stolen my registration sticker. Another time, we bought my aunt’s car that had been sitting for a while and the air conditioning didn’t work — Ken found a squirrel nest clogging the system! When my car has made strange noises, he always checks it out, reassures me when it’s nothing, and never charges me unnecessarily. He gently explains anything I don’t understand, never talks down to me, and always makes sure I leave feeling informed and taken care of.
This is exactly the kind of trustworthy, friendly, skilled auto repair shop everyone hopes to find. I’ve been coming to Ruppel’s for six years, and honestly, I don’t know what I’ll do if Ken ever retires. Thank goodness he’s alive and well in Burlingame.
Highest recommendations. Thank you, Ken!”
“My air conditioner broke down, and I dreaded the repair process. I called On Tack and had a fantastic experience. Their communication was great and they quickly fixed the issue, and my AC is now running perfectly. Terrific service and a great overall experience—I highly recommend them!”
“Brought my vehicle in for an alignment. They were quick and did an amazing job. Pricing was very fair and their attention to detail is immaculate, I will be coming back in the future!”
“I purchased my first car here earlier in June. During the entire process, Kevin was knowledgable, honest, professional, and more than eager to help fight for a price that was within my budget. I showed him a price that I found from a dealership further away, and Kevin was able to match it while offering great service and answering any questions I had. Buying a first car is already a stressful experience, and I'm so glad I was able to count on KIA Burlingame to support me during the entire process!”
“I recently had the opportunity to use the services of Pacific Auto Repair, and I’m pleased to report that my experience was excellent from start to finish. The team demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction.”
“I have used them twice now on two different cars, 7 years apart. They do such a great job plus they clean your car for you (inside and out!) before you get it back. I've always gone through insurance when I use them and it's been easy and straightforward both times. They also offered to drop me off at the car rental place and they hustled to finish so I could get my kids from school on my pickup day. Super nice people and quality work.”
“I took my Volvo in for it's one year service. It went in on time and was returned on time, washed and vacuumed. Very efficient operation, and I had no problems at all.”
“called morning of asking for a brake checkup/repair and managed to snag the last available appointment for what seemed like a while! was nervous because it was my first time getting car work done on my own + was slightly taken aback by the prices which were on the higher end out of the repair shops i considered, but the whole experience was so productive, comfortable, and stress-free (got in and out with new brake pads within three hours while other places didn’t have openings until next week) that it was totally worth it. would highly recommend :) thank you so much to paul and everyone else for helping me out!”
“Adna is great and reliable. He’s done lots of maintenance work on my Toyota RAV4 this year from changing out the control arms, shocks and alternator. Would highly recommend his shop ??”
“Serious work being done here by Dirk and his team. Reasonably priced as well. I drive a gen 1 CLS 500 and Dirk made the car feel brand new! Its been a week and it seems as the car gets better by the day. I was referred here by Mercedes Services of Silicon Valley and happy they did, i love this shop!”
“This is my fourth or fifth visit over the years between my cars and referrals. Consistent outstanding work and service. Fair and competitive pricing. I highly recommend these guys.”
“Our 2021 BMW 540xi primary sits in our garage in Menlo Park. Other than our assistant taking the vehicle out for a small bit of exercise once per week , the vehicle is used by us maybe 30 days a year with perhaps 5,000 miles. Question: for this type of vehicle usage, how frequently does this vehicle require service ? What is the recommended service interval ?”
“3 hours before closing, on a random Thursday, made a call to inquire about exhaust pipe repair. The owner was friendly on the phone so I decided to drop by. Arrived 30 minutes later and was given a fair price and immediate service. This is the best exhaust shop around if you value honesty and integrity.”

“Old school but they still got it. John was great taking my special order with same day pick-up. I used to come to Ole's as a kid with my uncle for carburetor and hotrod needs. Great to see they're still around.”
“Took our car to Andrew last minute for an oil change and dead battery, and Andrew was thorough and efficient. Prices here are super reasonable. Not only that, but he also spent 10 minutes telling me how to best maintain our car because he noticed some rusting at the bottom. Great guy who really cares about his craft! Would highly recommend to others!”
“Incredibly knowledgeable owners and staff. Andy goes the extra mile to ensure every service, repair, or modification is executed to perfection. There are few garages I trust, but this is one of them.”

“This is the only place on the San Francisco peninsula that I will purchase new tires, have tires repaired and front wheel alignment. Their prices are reasonable and service is extraordinary.”
“My wife and I have had both of our cars (Tesla, Lexus) at UACC several times over the last decade and Larry and his team are true professionals with amazing attention to detail which is rarely found consistently at this level. Always prompt, professional and overall a great team of people. Highly recommended!”
“Alex and Erick once again exceeds expectations. If you are looking for a shop that you can trust and count on the quality of work for years to come, look no further. Multi Craft is a shop that stands by their work, because the owners and workers care about their work. I've had a great experience with a custom paint request here with my Porsche Cayenne, and I will not hesitate to bring my other personal cars here moving forward!”
“The service team massively exceeded my expectations. I had an unexpected electrical failure in my Impreza late in the afternoon before an important morning trip. The service manager understood that I was in a tight spot and worked to get a technician available. They diagnosed the fault and fixed it within an hour! It was friendly small-town service in the middle of the Peninsula.”
“We had an outstanding experience working with Loi Nguyen at Putnam Toyota. From the moment we walked in, he was friendly and focused on helping us find the right vehicle. He provided honest answers to our questions and guided us throughout the process. The purchase process was quick and stress-free. We are very happy with our new car. Thank you, Loi!”
“Max at Ocean Honda in Burlingame came to our rescue during the holidays when our car broke down. He was professional, kind and courteous in every way. This was the first time we worked with Max in the service department, and his assistance was amazing. We also work with Lincoln in the service department. Their service is outstanding!”
“My 2013 Toyota Corolla suddenly had a check engine light on and the engine was shaking and I could tell something was wrong and was scared. Came the next morning here close to where my car was. I felt the whole process was great. Left my car at 7:30am and was told I would get a call back around 10am. Was called around 9:30am. They told me it was a misfired cylinder 2 and needed a new coil and 4 spark plugs. They told me I could also try to get 3 more coils because those were old too. I decided better to replace all because I want my car running well. When I came back at 5pm, they explained everything to me. Feel like they are fair and do a good job in what you expect when going to a mechanic.”
“Vasily was patient, friendly and very knowledgeable about the entire Mazda lineup. We test drove five different cars from the two model ranges and trim levels we had researched. Vas helped us find the right one for us, and we drove away happy, with ridiculously great financing with help from Jay. We are repeat Mazda owners, and Putnam customers. Their customer service and sales expertise are the best.”
