Vale Auto Repairs - Novato (CA)

N Haddad Jared was very friendly, patient, and helpful! I had my alignment previously done at another shop after saving up for new tires. The steering wheel was off just a tad, but enough to make me not comfortable while driving. He talked the issue through with me and was able to fix it!! I’m so relieved now. Thank you so much for the wonderful customer service! I’m more than certain I appeared a little crazy, because after a tech test drove it, they said it was fine. It was such a minor issue, most probably wouldn’t have noticed. I really value the great customer service, something that seems hard to find these days.

Tiffany Ballew Ive taken multiple cars to Kevin for the better part of 2 decades. He is not only an honest mechanic, hes a good man. Hes tuned up little things he came across while fixing the main issue, at no charge. As a woman, one can be taken for a fool by a mechanic and the next thing you know what should have been a simple fix becomes a litany of fictional issues with whatchamacallits and girlywigs. My vehicles always ran well upon leaving, at or below the quoted price. In the last 20 years I wish Id found a partner I could trust as much as I do this mechanic. Men have come and gone, but Ive been loyal to the guy who has always done right by me and my cars. This is a great local business and I wish I could give Codoni 6 stars.

Rob Schmidt Keith was knowledgeable and professional. He rebuilt my radiator with quality American parts for less than a cheap aftermarket, foreign replacement. His job re-coring my radiator was top notch and he provided excellent advice on other issues at no cost. Plus, hes a nice guy. Highly recommended for work on classic vehicles.

Pete S It doesn’t get any better than Milani’s

RJ Tony & Russell are both great at not only fixing whatever is wrong with the car but are great at pointing out things that are starting to deteriorate . They dont try to upsell and say you need to fix those things now and they tell you how much life expectancy all the different items have left, which is phenomenal for a car repair shop because mast car repair shops are notorious for trying to state you need to fix things now. Their pricing is also fair for the quality work they do.

Dashka Jolissaint I’ve been taking my car to One Stop Autoshop for over 5 years now and I truly wouldn’t go anywhere else. They’ve consistently taken great care of my car and I always leave feeling confident and well-informed. What really sets this shop apart is their honesty, something that’s hard to find these days. The entire team is friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful but I have to give a special shout out to Mike. He’s the absolute best. Mike goes above and beyond to make sure his customers are taken care of. He’s honest, knowledgeable, and you can tell he really cares. Highly recommend this place.

Gerd Goette Very competent, honest and reasonably priced. Call to make an appointment, they can be busy.

Gayle Ravenscroft Marin Automotive has taken care of my Mini Clubman for years! I cannot recommend them too highly. 10 stars. They are so transparent in their recommendations with clear photos to keep you informed along the way. Communication is beyond expectation- texting, calling and emailing. The work is fast and efficient and always successful. They keep track of everything including warranties you didn’t even know you had. Everyone is friendly and the shop hums happily with all makes , shapes and sizes. Huge added bonus - a local family business. They really are the best

David Stevenson Took my truck to Thorsson’s for an oxidation fix on the hood and top of cab. They did a FANTASTIC JOB! Out of the three appraisals I got, theirs was the honest one. I was very grateful for the honesty and information they gave. It’s really nice to see that there are still people out there like that. So, if you need work done, everyone I encountered there was extremely nice, helpful and honest. Give them a try, you won’t be sorry.

Irene Collins Took my car in for major checkup. Work done throughly as aways. Explanations clear, and they make good recommendations, avoid having anything unnecessary.. Have taken cars here for years, and we are always sure they are in good hands. Staff is most helpful and friendly, aways make good suggestions.
