“Honest, efficient and cost-effective service you can trust & count on. Truly above & beyond other mechanics. The brothers are a delight, as well. Highly recommended!”
“I have been going to Four Car Garage for the past 14 years, where they have taken great care of my Honda and Mercedez. Like clockwork, dealing with Albert and Jennifer, always a pleasure and straightforward with nothing unnecessary pushed like it was an emergency. They do a pretty solid job at a fair price.”
“Carrera has always been a great place to take your BMW, Mercedes or Porsche.
But yesterday they went well beyond what someone could ask.
Drove up around 3:20 pm on Friday needing my convertible closed on an older MBZ that was having hydraulic issues all of a sudden. You could tell there were still lots of cars to be worked on for that day and it was only Anton and another mechanic and Anton went out of his way to help get the top closed, did not charge me, and allowed me to make an appointment with them for late next week.
Unbelievable Service
Of of course Boggie, who is an owner is one of the best techs in Northern California makes this shop the place to take your European Auto”
“First time in May of this year, I thought I had a major problem, my mechanical transmission was stuck in third gear, and I expected a total overhaul, but Nick found a problem with corrosion and it was fixed in a short time and at a good price.
The second time my car had 4 problems and again Nick fixed all in no time at all and not requiring lots of money.
Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Excellent. Tops!

“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.”
“It's been a while since I got serviced here but because the service is so spectacular I remembered that I wanted to leave a review. Praveen is really knowledgeable and friendly, always on top of things and keeping you updated. If you're in the Bay and drive an Aston definitely go here.”
“We have gone to European Car Care for years and years. Ross is the best! And by best I mean the most knowledgeable, honest, hard-working, straight up mechanic you will ever meet. His prices are reasonable and the service is superior. He will tell you what you need, get you the best price, and that's it. Won't try to upsell you, do unnecessary work, or rip you off.
This is not a paid review. Just an honest opinion from a long-time happy customer.”
“Excellent experience! I was referred by a family member and I am so grateful. Pablo was so helpful with his recommendations. I trusted his guidance and was not disappointed. My car’s headlights ( 2016 Honda HRV) look as good as new.”

“Shinozaki was recommended to me by another mechanic I trust as a great place to get service for my Hyundai Santa Fe. They helped me diagnose and fix seperate issues with my battery and starter. In both cases I found the team at Shinozaki to be incredibly knowledgeable, transparent, and attentive to a great customer experience. Incredibly fair pricing esp. as compared to Hyundai dealerships.”
“This place is incredible. I recently dropped my car off for an oil change, something my dealership makes a great deal out of. Stress free auto care has absolutely easy to talk to staff, quick and quality service with no extra frills. This will be my new go to place! The staff I spoke to were also fans of Star Wars haha, always a plus in my book!”
“Great service.
My 2019 Kia Sorento air conditioner was not blowing cold air. My longtime mechanic in San Mateo told me he checked it months prior, advised it was working fine.
[Wally?] the owner diagnosed the problem as likely a small leak. He recommended an A/C charge that would likely last a few years over expensive replacement parts.
AC worked great!! I did not realiize how poorly my A/C was working. And he completed the work in several hours on a Saturday. Highly recommend.”

“I had a great experience taking my Subaru
to Nor Cal Automotive. Phil promptly responded to my inquiry about changing my brake pads (which I’d been putting off) and replacing my CVT fluid. I’d been shopping around, but other shops either didn’t respond or gave me the runaround.
We scheduled a drop-off before work. Phil inspected the car, discovered my rotors were damaged, sent a photo, and gave me options to polish or replace them. I chose polishing, and it was awesome that he could handle it in-house instead of sending it out.
He provided a clear estimate, I approved the work, and he kept me updated with texts throughout the day. Everything was completed before I got off work. The brakes felt great, rotors looked smooth, and the CVT fluid change was done. The communication was top-notch , and the whole process felt stress-free.
I highly recommend Phil and Nor Cal Automotive for honest, efficient, and great service. I’ll most definitely be back when I need my car to be serviced again.”
“Highly recommend D & D Body Shop!! Alex and his crew went above and beyond to replace the carpet in my car (due to mold/water damage) and even detailed the outside! My car looks and feels brand new!Alex was great with communicating and helped me deal with my insurance company and car rental. His team was efficient and truly went the extra mile. I really appreciated their attention to detail and would absolutely trust them with my car again!”
“Team at ABS has been taking care of my car for the last 10 years. It’s still drives the same way the day I got it. There is no fine print , no confusion when it comes recommendations. If you have a BMW and need a no fuss , low maintenance and reliable team to keep it running. ABS is the place”
“was looking for a trustworthy independent shop and came across Chris. Very honest and upfront with the A service, not pressuring you to do more service and just letting you know the facts.
Will be taking my vehicles here in the future.”
“I took my car here and they were really thorough with the review and had reasonable prices compared to the Toyota dealership! I will take my car here for services going forward”
“Ted was very helpful, my first experience here. He was thorough and clear about cost. Waiting for a part kept car in shop longer than I expected, but was told I could get a loaner if it was not finished by Friday (which it was). Car washed and vacuumed was a nice touch. I’ll be back!”
“Excellent service at a very reasonable price. All repairs were explained in detail. Install was done with great care and Mr. Solis mention all possible alternatives to parts, very clear , honest and done as fast as the parts arrival allowed. When done the car was driving just so smoothly (it all depends on the job done). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”
“I recently had my 2012 Corolla serviced here for some issues due to normal wear and tear including replacing 2 front axels, transmission service, engine mount replacement, etc. I felt they gave me a good deal, explained things well to me and did a great job. Very friendly too. I recommend this place. Happy with my car’s performance after about a week of driving.”
“I have worked with Noel for a while. My last experience was good. I needed to be out on time and Patrick and Noel made it happen. I appreciate that. Noel even called me at 8 o'clock one night to check if my car was ok. I have recommended his shop to others. He has kept my older vehicle going until now. ?”

“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.”
“Paul is very helpful and responsive. He kept in touch by text and he called. His quoted price for tires were not much more then the online chain store, so I rather give the business to a local shop.”
“Claremont Automotive doesn't just set the standard for quality, value, and service, it goes above and beyond. Rafael is such a genuine and knowledgeable guy. I recommend all my friends here. I've gotten everything from battery, oil, tires, you name it here. They are moving locations so it will be a bit farther, but 1000% still worth the further drive to support the business. If you want the job done right and in an honest fashion, this is the place to go.”

“?I have been going to Gibson for over 13 years.. still the greatest guy with best service & prices..
Tells you potential problems but doesn’t hard sell anything..
I ve referred many to him & everyone is happy???”
“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.”
“Marc did an outstanding job servicing my Lexus. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He took the time to explain what was needed, didn’t try to upsell unnecessary work, and delivered exactly what he promised. The car runs great, and the quality of his work really shows. It’s hard to find a mechanic you can genuinely trust, but Marc is definitely one of them. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest, top-notch service.”

“Had my car towed here by AAA after it died from a bad starter motor. Muhammad was fantastic—very empathetic and amazingly fast! He replaced the starter in just two hours while I waited, getting me back on the road before lunch. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning!”
“Got my smog test here last week for the dmv. They were so friendly and helpful. Even noticed my tire pressure was low and filled up for me no charge. So thoughtful!”
“I loved my experience at Motorsport Division so much this is the third platform I’m leaving a review on!
Just out of my warranty period, my 2022 Audi SQ5 ended up with a cracked water pump. The crew at Motorsport Division was able to take my car in and within a day and a half, it was fixed. The ease of appointment setup was second to none, customer service and customer care were excellent too! The price was more than fair and thanks to this incredible service, every car I own will be a Motorsport Division visitor should I need a repair.
Big thanks to the crew at Motorsport Division.”
