Carmel Valley Garage - Carmel Valley (CA)

Shelly Shumpert Excellent service, super friendly, extremely professional and efficient---highly recommend!!!! We were in a pinch to say the least, and they saved us. We will always remember and be grateful for their kindness and expertise. If we lived in the area, they would be our first choice for auto service. Honorable, high quality, caring, and uncommon integrity. Wish we could give more than five stars.

Lauren Staples Joe is awesome! I brought my RAV4 in that was having some headlight issues, and he took care of it right away. He also took the time to physically show me the problem, and tell me what was going on. Most dealerships will just talk to you, and they don’t take the time to show you the physical work. My dad has used this business for years as well, and we are both always happy with their work. Really generous and kind guys too, thanks J&D!

Carley Donahue Padilla Auto Repair had our van in and out of the shop quickly with a major repair on our California road-trip. Thank you, Juan, for getting us back on the road! Would definitely recommend this shop.

Kristen Comello Jerry Graham Auto has the nicest staff. They took great care of my car. They were super responsive when I called and asked questions. My car looks amazing! I have used them twice and each time was better than the last. They feel like family and can be completely trusted to do a great job. My car needs a lot of work and appreciate that they only helped me with what I needed at the moment and didn’t pressure me into more work. So thankful for their professionalism and kindness. They finished early and saved me money on my rental car. So thankful!

Safiullah Latifi I had an exceptional experience at Sabino’s Auto Shop in Seaside. After dealing with ongoing engine issues and multiple check engine codes, I brought my vehicle in for diagnostics. Within just two hours, Sabino accurately identified and fixed the problems—a thermostat that wasn’t opening properly and a faulty oxygen sensor. What truly set this shop apart was the honesty, efficiency, and affordability of the service. Sabino is not only highly skilled but also incredibly genuine and trustworthy—qualities that are hard to come by in this industry. Before coming here, I had taken my car to three other shops in Monterey and Seaside, all of which recommended unnecessary repairs that had nothing to do with the actual issue. Sabino, on the other hand, was transparent and only addressed what truly needed attention. Thanks to him and his team, my car is now running perfectly. I won’t be going anywhere else—Sabino has earned my complete trust, and this will be my go-to shop moving forward. Thank you again, Sabino, for your outstanding work and integrity.

Thomas Galland Dropped by after getting a puncture in our tire and needed to go back home on the same day (70 miles north). Unfortunately it was too far gone to repair and the shop didnt have a new tire, but a used one. However, after contacting the local dealership where we got our car from, turns out they had one in stock. The mechanic was concerned about our safety and didnt feel comfortable putting the runflat back on. I made a suggestion to borrow the used tire, get the new tire on, and bring the used one back and they accepted. Thanks for helping us get back on our way, and here is the proof that we returned the tire, hopefully it was still there.

Mars Obsidian Bill was the best. We really thought we were going to be stranded out there when another tire shop told us they couldnt fix our rental because of a nail through the side of the tire. Bill fixed it up within 30 minutes and got us set and safe. Absolutely recommend

Tamar Chikviladze Thank you for checking our mini-van today and giving us very useful tips and advices. If we lived nearby, we would definitely be regular customers. The reviews are completely true. Theyre very honest, trustworthy and very helpful.
