5 /5 D Schoenrock: E & J Automotive is everything you want in a hometown auto shop - honest, skilled, and genuinely invested in the community. Run by two hardworking young brothers, Erik and Octavio, this local gem is conveniently located in the shopping center on the corner of McDowell & Old Redwood Hwy, Petaluma (right by Starbucks, Burger King, 7-11, Wilco, and across the street from Applebees). They took care of my car on the spot, explained everything clearly, and offered fair, no-pressure pricing. Their six-bay shop is clean, efficient, and even shares space with their friend, Alexs detailing business, North Coast Tintz & Detailing, so you can get a full car refresh in one visit.
One unique feature they have is the Speakeasy Barber & Shave Parlor in the same building, also owned by one of the brothers — clean, cool, and themed to match the shops auto vibe. So, you can treat yourself with a fresh cut while your cars getting tuned up. Oh, and also the bathroom is nice and clean, too.
When I asked about their work, one of the brothers said: "We just want to take care of our community." And they truly do.
Support local. These guys are the real deal. Petaluma proud!
One of the best experiences with auto mechanic services I have ever had. Ill definitely be back for future services.
Their phone number is: (707) 753-0259
