Hello Mark, Thank you for leaving a nice rating for us! We really appreciate you bringing your Mini to us for service. With the absence of a Mini dealership on the Monterey Peninsula, Pacific Motor Service has become the de facto Mini experts in the area. We love working on them and we appreciate the value their owners place on maintenance and care!

This is quite possibly the most friendly, reasonably priced, and hardworking garage I've ever been to. Not only did they take excellent care with my Mazda, they also went the extra step to show me exactly what was going wrong and explain how they were going to fix it. I'm almost excited for my next oil change so I can go back!

Hello Jessie, Thank you for taking the time to leave a glowing review! We enjoyed working with you as well. Your Mazda is still safe and reliable. The suspension parts (tie rod ends) we services are an item that wears out over the course of every vehicle's life. Installing new ones will make the steering perform like new. Taking the time to share the big picture and helping you feel valued is what we try to be the best at. Please let us know if you need anything else. Have a great trip.

We needed an emergency diagnostic because we were on vacation in Big Sur and realized our car was leaking oil. They got us in and fixed the problem. Great staff and service!

Hello Shannon, we were happy to help! Thanks to AAA you were able to locate us and avert a potential disaster. As it is the differential drain plug on your Subaru only needed tightening, but had you delayed for long it may have become disastrous! Nice job being proactive!! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation and made it home safely.

I was towed here by AAA. I couldn’t steer the car. My power steering fluid ran out because a rodent chewed through the line. The reception people were very friendly. They were able to fix the car the same day. HOWEVER they were way out of line in charging over $1000 for replacing the fluid and a new line!!! Typical charges are almost half of that!!! DO NOT RECOMMEND unless you have no time or choice like me.

Hello Ms. Ichiuji, We appreciate any feedback you can give us. I understand you were in a stressful situation, having to take care of an unexpected repair while traveling. Please allow me to add some factual perspective to your comments. The repair we completed was done quickly and expertly (consistent with our commitment to AAA to prioritize our mutual clientele). The cost of the repair was in accordance with our standard operating procedures and not exorbitant for the Monterey area. The parts involved were a power steering pressure hose: $238; a pressure switch (integral to the line) 137; power steering fluid approximately $35. Labor for the entire operation was $603 including the $80 diagnostic fee. After taxes and fees and your AAA discount, the total cost of your repair was under $1000. In many cases, power steering repairs can cost several thousand dollars. We appreciate you coming to us for service and wish you a safe journey home.

So appreciative of the help and support from Rory during a challenging situation.

Hello Mike, Rory does a great job working through problems. He is knowledgeable and enjoys solving problems. Good luck on your trip back home, and be confident that your Toyota Tundra has many years of service left! The control arm and ignition cylinder are items that fail on every vehicle eventually. Nothing odd going on there.
