My family has been coming here for over 20 years, and in all that time, we've never trusted anyone else with our cars or our peace of mind. I still remember being stranded in Southern California because my Volvo XC70 broke down. I called the local dealership and got a quote that I wasn't sure about. I reached out to Ali, and his depth of knowledge was staggering. He confirmed the pricing and was even able to accurately break down the labor and parts costs. He also gave me a few questions to ask just to be safe. That kind of reassurance, from hundreds of miles away, was priceless. Now that I drive a Lexus, Montclair Auto Tech is still the only place I'll take it for service or repairs. Their honesty, skill, and consistency are unmatched. I'm deeply grateful for this shop. They have my highest recommendation.

Bobby the mechanic was great, and managed to clean the oilpan of debris without having to lift the engine. Also got the fuel injectors serviced, new prop shaft, balanced the prop etc etc. Everything went great. Clint the electrician and woodworker fix up some of the shady electrical systems from the previous owner and replace with a proper switch, nicely installed and also fixed the engine instruments. Excellent work. Alex was our project manager. He consistently kept us updated on what was happening, what new things had come up, our options etc. There's an excellent store onsite for everything DIY while there. All in all the work was on time, went well and everything was great.

**REVIEW FOR SAUSALITO LOCATION**…read more My recent, and rather extensive, experience at KKMI Sausalito was truly top notch. I purchased a boat out of my local area and wanted to accomplish some significant refit work before relocating it to Southern California. The entire crew at KKMI was professional, knowledgeable and just great to work with. They worked hard to stay on schedule and and maintained excellent communication throughout. It's a boat, so there were a few last minute surprises but KKMI managed them well, making sure I did not miss my departure window. Thank you to the entire KKMI team (with special thanks to Project Manager, Mitch) for making a large project as stress-free as possible and delivering a quality result that was proven out on the 400nm shakedown trip home.

Fast! Catalytic converter stolen Saturday to Sunday overnight. Called Monday morning. Shop received…read moremy 2009 Prius Monday afternoon. Finished the work by 1pm Tuesday. Most of the shop was recently stolen CAT victims. Janice at the desk was very patient, clear, and generally pleasant over the phone walking me through next steps when I called Monday. She was more than happy to work with Geico on the claim. You just gotta call when your tow truck is loading up the car so they can make room in the shop in time to receive your vehicle. At the end, I paid my deductible out of pocket with Zelle. They have a QR code. I left with my signed, one page customer copy of the repairs and payment documentation. They quoted me $350 for this added rebar welding service as a theft deterrent. This is a separate charge from your insurance claim. A very welcoming younger man named Vincent (?) lifted up the car and walked me through the undercarriage work and the theory behind the rebar. He was honest and said nothing is a complete solution, but that in the years they have performed this service, only a handful of customer have come back with attempted theft incidents. However, in those cases, the thief only made the cuts and couldn't pull the converter out. So repairs are cheaper in the long run because it's a welding repair, not a full converter replacement. If you go through insurance that is also good news, because he said with tariffs and the war, prices are going up and it's increasingly likely your insurance will deem your car totaled just for the stolen CAT based on their rising repair costs compared to your older car's current value.

What everyone says is absolutely true!…read more Chuck's Marine has been a staple in the Bay Area for decades, earning a stellar reputation for value, quality, and meticulous attention to detail. After hearing so many great things, I finally decided to have my 2001 Catalina 380 serviced by Chuck -- Damn! Why did I wait so long?. Chuck had previously worked on my boat, and it was clear from the moment he opened the engine compartment that he knew it inside and out. Dates of previous service, repairs, and replacements were clearly marked in Sharpie across the engine, transmission, and other components -- demonstrating his thoroughness and memory of the boat's history. During the service, Chuck was able to recall all past repairs and nuances the boat had experienced, which gave me great confidence. He spent the entire day performing a comprehensive service, including oil, fuel, transmission, and water filter changes, water pump repairs, alternator electrical checks, and thorough inspections of the transmission cable and steering quadrant. We also created a detailed list of everything that had been completed, as well as future recommendations for the boat. Before starting, Chuck was upfront about options for where and when he could work on the boat, as well as clear about costs and parts. This level of transparency and professionalism is exactly what every mechanic should strive for. I'm now officially a regular on Chuck's annual maintenance list and highly recommend his services to anyone in the Bay Area!

Very patient communication team through the Yelp app. Explaining that alignment, rotations, and flats were covered under the purchase which is similar to discount tires, but from a local independent shop, it was nicer to work with. Glad to have discovered them through Yelp. Would definitely recommend. No hassle, clear and accountable communication. Fair pricing.
