NEX Car Care Center Autoport - Monterey (CA)

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!

Dru Pre Took my car here and the gentlemen who work there are very nice and professional. I got my car serviced for a cross country trip, for 100,000 mile service and they were considerably cheaper than my car’s dealership. I would have paid over $700 at the dealership, where with the NEX I paid under $400. I asked for the honest opinion, of if my breaks and tires would get me there; they said yes and my car got me to my 2,000 (plus) mile destination. Would recommend this facility for car service!

Moises Tievar Good job, highly recommended

Edgar Aguilar I’ve had a great experience with this shop bringing my two Datsuns(280z and 610 wagon). They’re consistently on time, which is hard to come by, and the quality of work is top-notch. Communication is clear, professional. I really appreciate how Ismael and his crew keeps you in the loop with how things are going, and really goes up and beyond with helping customers and their cars. Stepping in to the shop, the entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely makes you feel at home. It’s clear they care about both their work and their customers. Highly dependable and definitely a shop you can trust.

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.

Kris They worked on a yellow 280Z nearly a decade ago, the car is still in great shape and on the road on the Florida Space Coast thanks to their hard work. Fantastic crew there from the owner on down.

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.

Matthew Lynam This is my new favorite mechanic shop. It’s a hidden gem— husband/wife team, fun punk-rock atmosphere, whisky and coffee, quality service, fair prices. Magi-Zine and Jack are easy to talk to. They care about their customers as much as they care about the cars. I almost wish I had more frequent car problems so I can go more often. I highly recommend this shop for anyone who wants more than just a routine service — it’s a genuinely enjoyable experience.

Anamarie Brown We’ve been bringing our cars here for everything from oil changes to brake work and general maintenance, and they’ve been amazing every time. The team is honest, professional, and really knows their stuff. They always take the time to explain what’s needed (without pushing unnecessary work), and they get things done quickly and at a fair price. It’s hard to find a shop you can trust these days, but Salazar’s has absolutely earned our trust. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality auto service!
