My rear main seal was replaced in 2020 and I was told that there was a 3 year/ 36k warranty, this was also stated on my paperwork. Now the seal needs to be replaced again in less than 3 years, and now I'm told the warranty is 2 years / 24k because we are no longer in Monterey. I was never told this nor is it stated on my paperwork. This is a costly $2200 repair that I need to pay for again. I used this shop often and spent thousands of dollars with them and I'm so disappointed that not only did the repair fail, but they weren't honest about the warranty. I can no longer recommend this shop.

Hello Rose, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am sorry for your inconvenience and the difficulties you are having with your leaky rear-main seal! We do have, and honor a rather robust 3 year/36,000 mile warranty that covers all parts and labor. Our warranty specifically states the vehicle must be returned to us in order to take care of any issue. Regretfully, you have moved away from our area and are not able to get the vehicle back to us. We are also a part of a nationwide warranty network that covers all parts and labor for 2 years/24,000 miles. Unfortunately, you have exceeded those terms and are not covered under that system any longer. I assure you, however, we are concerned for all our clients' wellbeing, and would gladly install a new seal if the vehicle was here. Again thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I hope you understand our position better now.

Nothing but good things to say about this place. My family and I were on a road trip from the Bay Area, to Monterey, to Joshua Tree. On the way to Monterey a worrisome sound started to come from the front left wheel well. Well, long story short, they took car of us! (okay bad pun). But seriously, the two front office workers listened to us, and genuinely cared to help us get back on the road. And although the problem turned out to be a simple fix, they only charged us for the time it took to find and solve the problem. I wish I had a mechanic like them back home!

It's always done quickly. Also a pleasure seeing Beatrice and Roary at the shop, they always make me feel welcome and comfortable, great Inner action. I feel my car is always taken care of and running 👍. This last visit was as always done in a timely manner. My car is running great. As usual I was kept well informed as what my car needed. My car looked nice due to the car washing they provided, thank you so much.
