The guys here at Pacific Blue Automotive are true examples of professional service and far more…read moreknowledgeable than any other mechanics I've spoke to. They really treat you like family especially when it comes time pay. Their prices are far lower that anyone else in this area. Thank you Mike and Thomas for being so honest, reliable, professional, and getting my vehicle repaired so quick. While at your shop, it was easy to see that you make all your customers your top priority while safely and quickly repairing my vehicle. Far more advanced, knowledgeable, friendly, and way less expensive than anywhere in Humboldt. With costs of living these days, I thought I'd never get my Chevy fixed. When I spoke with Mike for the first time, he helped me not only get my vehicle towed to his shop, order parts, and make the repairs, he was able work with me until payday. Truly one of a kind experience and hands down the best around. Keep it up guys, much apricated Craig M.

Aaron knows his stuff, he took the problems that Leon's said they could not find and was able do diagnose and fix both cars in a short time period. What was real cool is I used to do my own auto work 20+years ago and where Leon's would not go into details (perhaps they though it was over my head), Aaron would tell me details and it was clear he knew what was going on, he knew what to look for and how to read the clues. I must admit I was hesitant to write this review because you already have to book him a month in advance and if too many people read this I might be looking at a 2 month in advance lead time. Right now this is my car guy.

They performed a thorough first inspection finding numerous issues that I already knew about and some that I didn't. They were very communicative about getting permission before performing services. When I declined services due to financial constraints they were very professional and understanding of the reasoning even going so far as to print out their reports and provide suggestions on repairs for me to perform myself. If my vehicle was not a project truck I would definitely consider bringing it in for repairs and may bring it back for diagnostics anyways. Their services are not cheap but you get what you pay for.

German Motors in Arcata just did a rear drive unit oil change for me on my Tesla model 3. They are…read morethe only place around I could find willing to work on a Tesla. They were professional, did a good job, and spent the extra time researching and making sure they did it correctly. Most people aren't aware but that rear drive oil and filter should be replaced at 50K. They charged me 2 hours and I supplied the parts, but they can also source the parts. They have the actual proper External Torx Plus sockets, and know how to do the proper pump priming and filling correctly just like Tesla would. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just thought I'd share this info with other Tesla lovers. It's a long way to Tesla Santa Rosa for this kind of service. Peace . Jeff
