“Worked with few mechanics over past 35 years. Mostly paid extra and went to original car dealers and later worked with a repair shop in Palo Alto which was awesome but unfortunately shut down when the owner decided to retire. After a few experiments went to Allied ( who actually is the closest to where I live. They are awesome. Our two BMWs and my Porsche are in great hands!!”
“Sean is responsive, honest, and an expert auto mechanic. I always look forward to working with him and trust him with our cars. I feel fortunate to have such a perso I can trust in times of need.”
“Friendly service. Professional staff. Convenient location and also parking space. Responsive team. Great value. I would recommend this place to those who need auto service.”
“My auto matic shifter was not working properly , ie locking in park, and would not shift into drive or reverse. I took it to four car garage , David diagnosed the problem, did the necessary repair and my car was ready to go in less than 24 hours. Now it runs perfectly again.”
“Took my older BMW there with concerns about the gasket valve. The team there did an excellent job replacing it and were able to detect another issue that had gone unfixed for some time. Great communication, incredibly knowledgeable, and really good prices for the work being done. Will continue to support this team”
“I'm very impressed with the operation at Kirberg. I called to get some diagnostic help for a repair and everyone I talked to (Lindsey, Richard, Brian) were immediately so helpful and straightforward, I had no question of their trustworthiness. I ended up taking the car in for diagnostics and given the work required they offered a very fair quote for the repair. When I picked up the car, I was able to talk to Brian for a bit and pick his brain, he's definitely very knowledgeable about Porsches and seems to really love what he does (everyone at the shop does too). Overall even though I hope to not have to go back to a shop anytime soon, I would not hesitate to come back to Kirberg for anything my car needs.”
“Excellent service and communication. Was able to drop and pick up after closing time with no issues. The problem was fixed within the same day at a good rate. Thank you!”
“The best. Honest to a fault - had multiple instances where I had a check engine light and they traced it to some minor issue (cable loose, ect) with minimal cost- where many shops no doubt would charge up the wazoo. Great to work with. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Brought my 1969 VW Beetle to Burlingame Independent. The car had multiple maintenance issues due to lack of use. The best part of the experience was the customer service. Imad and his team were fantastic. Imad was courteous, patient and was very detailed with explanations. Very honest about what repairs were necessary and ones that could be bypassed. The car is running great.”
“Dealer quoted over 2k for front control arm bushings. I called Barinder for a second opinion. He said he’d take a look and let us know if they needed to be replaced. After inspection, they did and the cost was under 1k. He did the work quickly and honestly. Would recommend for any Subaru owners in the area.”
“You cannot find a more honest, trustworthy, well priced mechanic. Kevin and Tony are quick at understanding even the most complex issues, figuring out the best price to fix and then their team does a fantastic job. Over the last 20 years, they have worked on many different cars of mine (Subarus, fords, BMW) and with every fix they understand my needs and help to make the best decisions. Cannot recommend higher!! I live far from them now and still take my cars there!! And, most importantly, I trust them completely. They will never oversell you. So honest!!!”
“I brought a car here for a PPI and I was blown away by the service and friendliness of everyone. Erin, you’re an absolute legend and have an amazing business. Thank you for being so attentive to my needs and resolving any questions I had. It was a pleasant drive back to LA knowing everything was in order when I left your shop. I guess I can only buy vehicles in the Bay Area from now on so I can take them your way!!”
“I was ready to spring for a re-built transmission, and chose this shop due to it’s proximity to my location… They let me leave it w/o appointment and diagnosed the problem as engine issue, saving me thousands of dollars. Repaired the next day. Very friendly and informed front desk too… though I live in Santa Cruz, I think I’ll save my maintenance work for when I visit family in Burlingame. Top notch!”
“Long time customer, first time reviewer. Mike and the team at Ron Ramies Automotive go above and beyond. They are always my go to source for regular maintenance, and they always come through when the problem requires a lot of knowledge and tricky diagnosis. Highly recommended.”
“I never write reviews but Michael was exceptional so I wanted to write about my experience here!Michael was extremely thorough and has a very kind demeanor (something I haven’t encountered much with mechanics). His pre purchase inspection saved me from buying a car with lots of invisible issues that I couldn't tell from test driving it. No pressure to do any services at his shop and very transparent throughout the process. Price was very fair too, half of what others were charging, and no upselling to get work done at his shop specifically. He even looked up an estimate for the specific issue on the car to give me an idea of the cost of the repair all without pressuring me to have the fix done at his shop. Very professional and honest 10/10 service. I'll be back when I'm in the area again.”
“Ed Auto Service did an excellent job fixing my engine. They diagnosed the problem correctly and fixed it fast. The car runs smooth now.
Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“They fixed exactly what I asked them to and didn't try to upsell me on a bunch of bullshit. Henry was very friendly, and the service was quick. I'll be back for any of my car's needs.”
“Ricky is an expert on fixing Transmission!
My Honda Accord's CVT transmission gave up after 200,000 miles.
Ricky got me a new transmission unit with a warranty and he made sure that my car was back to normal without any issues.”
“I had a great experience working with Fed at SM Motors and Body Shop. Fed was really helpful in the process of selling my son a car. He was professional, knowledgeable and fair and we would buy a car from him again and plan to go to him for service.”
“Over the pass years, Roland is my go-to guy for my minivan. If you are looking for reliable, professional and reasonable price for fixing your car, just go to look for Roland. He always finishes the job as promised and never let me down. Highly recommend!”
“A great family business!
Headed by Victor who has prolific automotive acumen. Son Ryan affable and comprehensive. Victor's mom does accounting and converses with customers. I've been with Victor 10+ yrs ago, recommended by my retiring mechanic.”
“They fixed all my car issues—suspension strut, shock absorber, fluid filter, air filter, and oil change—at a great price with quality work. I couldn’t be happier! Highly recommend this shop. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my car needs from now on. Seriously, they know what they’re doing!”
“Been coming here for years! The least I can do is to leave a great review for this man! Other places would already be charging you without even checking your car yet. Most honest Mechanic I’ve ever met! Real stand up guy!! Appreciate you always, Mike!”
“The service here is top tier. Friendly, professional, transparent, and all work was documented. No surprises! Photos of everything sent to my phone clearly explained the issues with my car and had me feeling completely in the loop and confident with the repairs. Warranties available too. Highly recommend this shop to anyone who is looking for a straightforward and honest experience.”
“Cerrone's European specializes in servicing Jaguar's and Land Rovers. I have found the owner to be very honest, and the work performed has been first class.
I own a Jaguar and found both San Francisco Jaguar and San Jose Jaguar lacking in customer service and competence...high prices and shoddy service.”
“My go to place for all services on my ‘20 E-class. Mercedes master mechanic and front office staff are friendly, accommodating and extremely professional when it comes to my vehicle. Fair prices and great overall service. Highly recommend.”
“Nick and his team are the best!
I’d been dealing with a noise and warning light for weeks and even spent $1,500 at another shop with no fix. Nick found the problem right away and took care of it.
My car runs so smooth now!
It’s a small family business, and his wife, who helps with the financial side, is super kind and welcoming. The whole experience was great from start to finish.
This is definitely my go-to auto repair shop!
Highly recommended!”
“Honest owner, which is great! Most auto shops over price everything, and try to make unnecessary repairs, costing you a fortune! Reynoso fixed things he found wrong while repairing my truck, and repaired them for me at his cost -- almost no other shop will do that for their customers. I only bring my vehicles to his shop now.”
