San Carlos Auto Repair

Never would I have thought I would feel compelled to write a glowing review for a mechanic - but A+ did such an amazing job. I have a tough car - ‘87 samurai - very old and in need of TLC, difficult to source parts AND I was limited in my desire to invest a ton of money. Justin and his team were so amazing - they were thorough in a way I’ve never seen from another mechanic - they broke down what needed to get done, what I should do but could wait on, etc. when a fix got expensive - they would outline various options/scenarios and on more than one occasion quoted me more than the cost ended up being. I know little to nothing about cars and usually leave the mechanic feeling a little taken advantage of due to the information asymmetry but at every step I felt informed and like a partner in the situation. Could not recommend enough.

Love their free at-home pickup and dropoff service! Post-service checkup call was a nice touch. Top quality service all around! We'll be regular customers!

Always great and friendly service!

great shop!

This was my first time getting my car serviced so I had some silly questions, but they answered professionally and straight to the point. I was also nervous about getting up-charged; as a young woman, I have heard this is a problem in the auto industry. But I got all of the necessary fixes done— no more no less— at a fair price. Will definitely return to get some of those “deferred service” items done!

Justin is always fantastic. A superb blend of friendly and professionalism, I always feel confident with his recommendations and the work being done. With a quality team working with him and such customer service, how could you not return again and again. 10/10 would recommend. Edit: Can't believe it's already been 2 years since this first review. The team continues to exemplify their name, absolutely A+. I always love getting a break down of what I should probably do, and what I really NEED. Safety precautions have been on point and they always make sure I can get back home. I just wish I could give another 5 stars!
