Arcata Body Shop - Arcata (CA)

Jared Planter Over a year ago the shop I regularly took my 87 Westy to for maintenance and repairs lost their VW mechanic. I started searching for a new one and found Specialty Foreign Auto right around the corner from my house. Ive been with them for over a year now and have been absolutely pleased with the service they provide. Just to name a few Ive had oil changes, tune up, suspension upgrades, transmission maintenance and replacement amongst many other things done with them so far. The whole crew is fantastic. Theyre fair, honest, reliable and trustworthy. These old machines can be finicky so its been really great to have a shop that knows their way around them. It has been a pleasure working with the whole team and I look forward to continuing the relationship! Cheers to Craig, Jordan, Vern and team!

Vince M Old school class! Instantly gave me a cheap quote over the phone and said it would only take 3 days to rebore a 1 cylinder motorcycle. Later I took in the cylinder and he told me that I may be able to get away with just swapping the ring out instead of machining it after he took measurements on it. The moto repair shop in Arcata tried to charge me $60 buck just for measurements and advice.

Jason Osburn I’ve been going to German Motors for over a decade for work on our Audi and Mercedes, and I couldn’t recommend them any higher!! They are the nicest and most helpful team of people at an auto shop I’ve ever worked with! Their communication and efficiency absolutely shine, and most importantly…I trust them 100% to only recommend what’s best for ME, and to clearly lay out all my options! Go see em, trust me!

Brett Watson Chris is a first class mechanic and he always provides outstanding service. Hes also very active in the community which is important to me.

Danny Kelley Falcons Small Engine Repair provided me with fast, excellent service. They went above and beyond to take care of my broken generator, ensuring it was fixed promptly and efficiently. Their honesty and responsiveness in communication stood out, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free. I will definitely return to them for any future engine needs. Highly recommend!

Janet Vance This service is excellent! Fair prices and did the repairs so quickly that I was surprised to get my car back so soon. Friendly staff and very efficient. Been there before and had the same excellent service. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work.

R McCracken These guys are great, they saved the day. Open on Sunday of a Holiday weekend, they recommended a tow company, and had my car running well after it unexpectedly broke down. Excellent customer service, beyond courteous, clean shop, these guys are professionals. They had my car back to me promptly without unexpected charges, and I was able to pay online. I never write reviews, but these guys deserve it, and I would give more stars if it were an option. Highly recommend

Jonathan Daar Steve went above and beyond to fix my car quickly and at a reasonable price. Highly recommend this Body Shop!

Tom Benedict Excellent customer service. I originally scheduled three windshield replacements with another well know local glass shop. They could not find the glass for one of the cars and also said I would have to bring in the other two cars on the same day and leave them all day. They suggested I try Pacific Coast Auto Glass about the windshield they could not get. I called and Erik was able to find a source for the windshield within an hour or two. Then the original glass shop called and said they could not do my other two cars. Turned out that was fortunate, as Erik was able to schedule me for three consecutive days and estimated it would take 2-3 hours so I was able to wait while the work was done. Quality professional workmanship and both Erik and Chandler were especially friendly and accommodating. Plus they vacuumed my vehicles! Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed!
