Japan Auto Repair - San Rafael (CA)

Kyle Larry is the most honest mechanic I’ve ever met. He is also one of the most knowledgeable. He deals in both domestic and foreign. I won’t take any of my vehicles anywhere else.

Desiree Vaughn I’ve been going to Bellam Auto Repair for years and each time I’ve appreciated the service they provided me. Last month, my oil pan cover was dragging and was close to falling off. I pulled into Bellam Auto Repair and they stopped what they were doing to quickly fix my issue and sent me on my way. Recently, my radiator, which I had installed by Bellam Auto Repair, had started to leak causing my car to overheat and heater/AC to fail— they reminded me of my warranty and fixed it asap! I genuinely appreciate Binh and the other awesome mechanic that works there. Thanks!

Timothy Hall Very lucky to discover McGuiness Mechanics! They took great care of my 86 CJ. Grateful to have an expert in town to take care of my mechanical needs.

Meleah Ekstrand I have been taking my two Hondas here for about 6 years. I have never met a more honest mechanic. Bruno is personable, explains the problem and never tried to over sell. I know many others that use this shop as well and they all agree how honest the shop is and what a good job they do! Thank you!!

Tyler Jackson D&K was professional from start to finish. Our 2021 Pacifica Pinnacle needed $15k of suspension work after getting hit hard while parked outside our house. D&K went above and beyond, fighting with insurance to make sure that every compromised part was replaced with OEM factory parts. The paint job also looks perfect. I had my reservations since it’s a dark metallic paint, and suspension rebuilds are tricky, but the paint match is spot on and the car drives like new. Highly recommend!

Babette Hogan Not full of bravado. Just good old fashioned reliable work and a good price.

Stephen Nestel Great service.

Matt Bearson I’ve been a loyal customer of Japan Auto Repair since 2010. They do excellent work at reasonable prices. As the customer-facing part of the team, David is always a pleasure. He communicates throughout the process in the most competent, informative, and reassuring way imaginable. Josh, Hannah, and the others are also dependably pleasant and knowledgeable. My wife and son are now devoted customers too. We all feel our vehicles are in excellent hands and will be keeping them there.

Sergio Che Excellent Service and Pricing! I had an amazing experience at Steves Auto Care! The team was incredibly professional, friendly, and efficient. They diagnosed the issue quickly and clearly explained the repairs needed. I was pleasantly surprised by how fair and transparent the pricing was—no hidden fees, just honest work. The quality of the repair exceeded my expectations, and my car now runs like new. Its clear that they truly care about their customers and take pride in what they do. I highly recommend Steves Auto Care to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy auto service. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my future car needs!

Mia H. My Jeep broke down literally across the street from this business. They saved me from a tight spot, gave me a great deal and were so honest. First, Rey came right over to give me a jump so I could get my car out of the business entrance I was blocking and limp over to their garage. He immediately diagnosed the faulty alternator and possible battery issues. It just so happens i only *look* like a clueless millenial chick, but really Ive been learning to work on my own classic car project truck for the last 2 years, so I fully understood the problem and cost to fix. What they ended up charging me was barely what it would have cost me to go buy the new alternator and battery at retail prices and replace them myself. Then, when I went to go pick it up, the owner Fernando texts me, "Oh, by the way, you didnt need a new battery after all, so please get your refund when you pick up." So honest!! Im so impressed. Even though I can do a lot of things myself, Im going to take the Jeep back to these guys if it needs anything because its that good of a deal. I highly recommend them to anyone, but especially other women who might feel uncomfortable at car repair places. All the stars.
