“I needed a new battery but waited one day too long. Battery failed, so I called House of Brakes and they gave me D&J Towing to get a jump. Got over to House of Brakes, they checked and found the battery had passed. Got a battery installed and oil change since I was there and out the door. Great experience. They checked my brakes but said I still had time so, thanks for that!”
“I give these guys an A+ on working on cars and i also give them An A++ for great customer service. You guys did a really good job and would recommend everyone to give these guys a try they really professional and did an awesome job working on my car. Thanks guys! You fixed it!😀”
“Lowest cost , fastest repair done in many years, on my 1989 Dodge Ram B250 Van Roadtek 89D190V Camper conversion. It was losing coolant but I could not see we're it was coming from. When I dropped it off at the end of the day for them to look at next day, Chuck (?) dug into it straight away determined to be able to give me an idea of what needed to be done. Within 10 minutes he had located a pin hole leak in a heater hose. Next day by noon I got the word that all heater hoses and clamps had been replaced, and I emwas out the door for under $400.
I finally found the right shop to maintain my old V8!”
“ATS helped me out of a jam when I needed several services at a logistically difficult time. They did a great job with my car for a fair price and explained what was needed in a way I (non car literate) understood.”
“I had a suspected coolant leak in my Mercedes GLC300 (A warning message kept popping up on the display console).
They ran all the tests and could not find any problem. The likely cause was insufficient coolant was added during the last major service a couple of months ago. Coolant topped up and no new warning messages. No charge for this check up.
Excellent customer service.”
“This is the kind of shop that, once you go here, you won’t go anywhere else. They’ve done all the service on our Sprinter since we’ve owned it, 60,000 miles now. They are super nice people, they’re knowledgeable, they communicate well, and they go above and beyond. And their loaner cars all have names and personalities. Seriously, I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“John is the best! He always takes care of me, super reliable, super knowledgeable, and always fair pricing. Would give 10/5 stars! Would highly recommend lucky automotive!”
“I have owned Healeys for over 60 years and it is becoming very difficult to find experienced, knowledgeable shops who know British cars. Clint and his crew are terrific, fair, and share their knowledge of what they do and why on every occassion. My go to place for whatever ails my vehicles.”
“I wish to share my positive experiences with Righetti Automotive in
San Rafael, CA
Steve Reghetti and his team are true professionals, highly attuned and fluent with every car make and mechanical component.
They have worked on our 3 cars for years, with total satisfaction.
When comparing the hourly rates, they are certainly the lowest in Marin County.
I am with honors recommend them highly.

“In my humble opinion, this is the best auto mechanic in Marin. I’ve been using them for almost 10 years. They provide consistently excellent service. I’ve never had a problem. Moreover, they have managed to find and resolve problems for friends I have referred, who were told by other mechanics that the problem was too difficult to diagnose or too expensive to resolve. Most importantly, they have fair pricing and they are trustworthy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS.”
“I had to get an unexpectedly expensive repair in a short time frame, and Daniel and Sam and everyone at Easy Automotive were so patient, understanding, and thorough. They are the kindest mechanics you will ever meet, completely trustworthy, and generous. Take your car here, you won't regret it!”

“I legitimately considered not leaving a review, because once more people learn about this shop and its owner (Tony), things are going to be too busy to get my vehicle in for work haha. I had been hearing a screeching from what I believed to be the front right of my vehicle (metal on metal) and knew it wasn’t a pad or rotor and had decided it was a wheel bearing that needed to be replaced. I called Northern Stars Auto at my father’s recommendation and described my issue. Tony ordered my right wheel bearing (warned me that I might need to do both left and right, but didn’t push my decision at all) and told me to be there as early as I could, so he could get everything done in one day. He was concerned that I was driving from Healdsburg and didn’t want me to have to make multiple trips and waste my time. Not only was I wrong about my diagnosis, but Tony very quickly found that it was my drive shaft assembly that had failed. I figured I was out of luck and would have to wait days for the part and for Tony to have time to do the work; nope. In 15 minutes, tony had found an aftermarket option, placed an order that would arrive in a few hours and assured me that he’d have it done by the late afternoon. I was ecstatic, but he wasn’t done there. He was concerned that it was hot, gave me two bottles of water if I was planning to walk around town to kill time, offered for me to stay on his lobby couch and use the free wifi, for as long as I wanted. AND recommended things to go do and places to eat in San Rafael. Tony not only got all the work done, in the time that he had quoted, but also gave me a completely reasonable price for everything. (Oh and he fixed my air conditioner, my radiator and refilled all of my fluids, just because. I can’t say enough good things and I am incredibly grateful. THANK YOU TONY!”

“Excellent service - the staff was welcoming, providing accurate information about the service requested, the cost and timeline. They also offered a free ride home and return. The service on my car was very well done.”
“I’ve been taking my 95 BMW to JP for a while now and he’s been dependable and fixes what is needed vs finding new stuff to fix on my car!! He also appears to use quality parts and fix things properly. Like all of you, I’ve had bad experiences at other shops and dealerships selling me on repairs I don’t need, but JP seems honest and helpful in contrast.”
