The Garage is great. I am very happy with both the staff and service. The work on my car was done quickly, and very well. The staff are super considerate and made sure that I was ...

Brought my car in for the second time in a week and it still stalls in low gears. Frustrating to have to bring it in for a third time as...

attitude is everything 10/1/2007

I found this place on citysearch, and I want to thank all the previous reviewers. I had my toyota towed in after a van ran into my side and totally screwed up my suspension and front end. My experience with the garage and alice was great. She goes the extra mile to make sure you are happy. She gave me an awesome price and finished the job very promptly. She knows how to handle the insurance people. She is very personable herself and impressed me when she didnt even charge me for the additional minor repairs i asked for. Compared to my other experiences, they did a better job at a better price and they did it with a much better attitude. more

Fantastic Servce at a great price. 4/30/2007

I can't say enough good things about Danny and the shop that he has running at The Garage. I took my truck in to get new shocks, a 180k mile service, and an air conditioning recharge. They performed the work quick and at a price of about 33% off what the dealership told me if would cost. Other posts said that the shop was hard to find but they have now moved off of the alley way and onto 10th street thus making it very easy to find. I highly recommend this shop to others. Pros: Got parts for my 99 Tacoma quick Cons: none more

Extremely satisfied with service, prices, and honesty 4/12/2007

Only one experience with The Garage to speak of - so far, but it was a very satisfactory one. I actually found them here on Citysearch. They had alot of great reviews and a couple of negative ones, but hey, you cant make everyone happy. I found them to be very friendly and helpful. They were more than willing to explain exactly what they worked on, they charge reasonable rates, and they didn't try to sell me on anything I didn't need. The symptoms I was having seemed complicated, but they were great about getting the car in and done in one day and they didn't charge for any parts, just labor. Although I'm no mechanic, I know enough about cars to know when I've had honest service. I found they lived up to their reputation for being straightforward and scrupulously honest, for which I'm very thankful. more

Seemed to have better things to do... 4/12/2007

Upon first contact with the folks at "The Garage," I though I was going to receive the quality of service that the other reviews on Citysearch had mentioned. Unfortunately, I was sadly disappointed. The gentlemen at the shop were definitely friendly, but they were not very good about communicating the needs of my vehicle to me; and they most certainly did not do this in any sort of "timely" manner. Ultimately, it took much longer than expected to complete the work requested, and in the end I felt that I didn't know exactly what was still wrong with my car. Come to find out four months later that there were many very loose nuts and bolts on the underside of my car that the guys at the garage failed to even notice. I was unsatisfied with the thoroughness of this garage, and will not return. Pros: None Cons: Timeliness, communication more

Its never good to have to take your car to the shop, but when its time, this is the best shop to bring it to! 3/24/2007

Danny and the crew at The Garage are a joy to do business with. I've never had a problem they couldn't fix, their estimates are always spot on, they call you to ask before they do anything beyond the original scope of the work, and they're just nice and honest people. They've always let me know what they think my best option is, even when I was trying to diagnose a smog check failure on my audi and they recommended limiting the work they did and referred me to different smog check center so that my repair work would be eligible for state credit. The words "Trustworthy" and "Mechanic" don't seem to go together these days; but with The Garage, they definitely do. Pros: Pricing, expertise, honesty, nice facility, fast service Cons: Busy place, No place to park sometimes more

My ONLY trustworthy mechanic 1/16/2007

The most reliable, cost-efficient, and trustworthy place to take your car to. Not only are they quick in servicing your car, they do an EXCELLENT job. I stay in Modesto, and I prefer to go to The Garage any day. In the past, I've taken my car to other places, but one thing i notice is that other places always charge a ridiculous amount, not to mention there is coincidentally another problem with my car within the next week. But since taking my car to The Garage for the past 3 years, everything with my car has changed. I can drive my car out of The Garage knowing that I've just taken my car to a trustworthy place and I don't have to worry about driving my car. There should be service and people like at The Garage in EVERY city. But since there isn't, I choose to drive 2 hours to come here. The people there are knowledgeable, know what they're talking about and awesome. You can really tell they love cars and are NOT looking to rip you off. SO, take your car there, you won't regret it. Pros: the BEST service. more

Housed with the best auto know how. 1/13/2007

The Garage was highly recommended by family members. I live, work and do everything in the East Bay area and never considered going to San Francisco. I would classify myself as somewhat knowledgeable in Car repair. I take my vehicles to Lexus dealer but I usually caught them selling me services I don't need and to make it worst, their technician are incompetent almost damaging our new Lexus with 2500 miles. Then I decided to take my babied vehicle to The Garage last year and wish I have done this earlier. I've never found an auto shop this honest, flexible with great technician and bundled with a good pricing this makes my BART ride to work and back well worth it. Like me, I found Danny really love cars and I feel the repair is more fun than a choir. Yes, the shop can get busy, but there is a reason why so many customers return to The Garage. If you like more info on this review contact me and I can e-mail you more info. more
