Stars at E & B Auto RepairFor over 40 years (!), Mike Margulis has been a fixture in Ft. Bragg CA for honest, personable, competent auto service. Just this week, as we are locals, Mike and Eric did an excellent 3K service on our '05 Toyota Sienna. But just two days ago, our barely two year old hybrid Highlander mysteriously wouldn't start after having visited the eye doctor, barking out weird error messages about the "brakes not getting enough power" (strange since the car was off). With remarkable luck, we were two blocks from E & B, trotted over and within two minutes Eric joined us to repair the mysteriously comatose (otherwise terrific) car. Within 15 minutes Eric had figured out the ONLY problem was my wife had slightly discharged the battery, using the accessory option to make a 15 minute phone call. Who knew the 12V capacity was not robust against a robust "accessory" discharge?Turns out the brakes were fine and this was simply the default message whenever the 12V can't power the complex electronics. I have written to Toyota and complained their software should be fixed, simply identifying a low battery, which I could have repaired myself with my lithium backup. In any case, the timing fit perfectly, Eric was between jobs and he could not have been more efficient or clearly focused, even though new Highlanders were not a daily challenge. But he quickly understood the big picture. The result: the non-problem was fixed and we charged the battery on the way home - disaster averted (except for the reasonable minimum cost. And I have requested Toyota should reimburse, per Mike's good suggestion). All in all, hats off to E & B - for top service, perfectly timed delivery, and of course their permanent good cheer and friendliness. Thanks, guys, for saving us because our supposedly brilliant new car (and it is) couldn't simply inform us our battery had been slightly drained and needed recharge. RBecker

Honest! They have saved me thousands of dollars. They tell me the options and never try to sell me work that is unnecessary. They REALLY know what they are doing. They have enough experience that their diagnostics are fast and effective. I will always go back to them even though I have to travel to get there.

Mike was great! I drove up from Pt. Arena and my Suburbans fan belt wasn't shutting off promptly. They squeezed me in and ran diagnostics. Did a quick fix to the electrical free of charge! I was limited on time!! I will still need to take it in when I get home but he gave me peace of mind! I would definitely recommend E&B!

We were visiting Fort Bragg on vacation. Our brakes started making noises. We called to E & B to make an appointment. Eric fit us into his schedule. We are so thankful that he was able to look at our brakes. Eric found a rock in our brake caliper so the pads did not have to be changed. We appreciate his honesty and service. We were ready to continue our trip. Thank you Eric!

Brakes started to go out while we were camping and we needed them done fast. All other mechanics were booked but we called E & B and they had an opening and got them done same day. Great service!

I wanted them to look at my truck and do the rocker job and they referred me to a garage that burned down.
