Kevin is a fourth generation mechanic in Marin. Knowledgeable, friendly, reasonably priced!!

Based on all the 5 starts reviews I was really excited to have my truck serviced here. Unfortunately the receptionist made the experience extremely unpleasant. I called on Friday to get an oil change on my truck in preparation for a long trip. I asked them if they would take a look at everything else as well just to make sure all I needed was an oil change. The guy on the phone said no problem just bring it in on Monday and give them 3 hours and they will take care of everything. Upon arrival Monday morning I let the receptionist, Maria, know that I had a scheduled appointment for an oil change and general check up. She said to just leave my keys on the counter and returned to binge watching her Netflix show. She did not request any other information which I thought was a bit weird but I went with it because the reviews say this place is the best. After 4.5 hours I called to check the status of my truck and Maria said she didn't know anything and the mechanic was on lunch. I asked how much longer it would be and again she said she didn't know. She did say they are waiting for a part, but did not know which part. I asked if they had begun the oil change, she didn't know. I asked if the she knew when the part would arrive, she didn't know that either. I asked how long it would take once the part arrives, you get the point, she didn't know anything at all. I asked if she could call someone who did know what was going on. She said no. So 5 hours have passed, no information, no update, no communication about what was going on. I eventually just went down to the shop and stood there until I could talk to the mechanic, Adam, myself. He said they were waiting on an air filter. Two extra hours waiting on an air filter! I told them I could do it myself in 5 minutes. So I paid and left and won't be coming back until they get a new receptionist who can communicate with customers. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind waiting, especially for honest mechanics, but the lack of communication with customers is unacceptable when you have their vehicle in your possession. It's truly unfortunate for the business to have Maria as the face if the company because the mechanics seemed so competent and trustworthy. Maybe this was a one off experience with Codoni's (I sure hope so) but it was bad enough that I can't recommend them to others. If you do go, I hope you have a better experience than mine and after reading the other reviews.. go on a day Kevin is working. read more

Codoni's Auto Service - Receipt for oil change and inspection, decent prices but bad customer service.. - Auto Repair Near Me - Novato, California

Kevin is great!! He's worked on our cars for years and he's accommodating and very reasonable.

Kevin was awesome and fixed a problem that was caused by Valvoline during my oil changed. Upset that I didn't bring my car to him first but I'm going to come here for all of my services moving forward. read more

I have been taking my cars to Codoni's for years now and won't go anywhere else. Kevin is always fair and lets me know exactly what is needed. I appreciate and highly recommend them! read more

I needed to get my "maintenance repair" indicator off my screen and an oil change for my Lexus, but was tired of paying the dealership charges like I used to do. So, I found Codoni's auto service online and was impressed with the positive reviews; I had to check it out for myself. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to get an appointment within two days. The service was very personable, quick and most importantly cost-effective. The staff here are honest and fair with their assessment/prices. As a female, I did not feel taken advantage of or price gouged in any way. They made sure to call me prior to doing any necessary work and get my consent before completing the job. Additionally, the shop was very clean and organized. I would highly recommend this auto service shop to anyone. I will definitely be back for future auto service! read more

It is such a great feeling to have complete trust in my mechanic. I've been going to Codoni for a while now and I have nothing but positive experiences each time. The husband and wife are always so friendly, the husband took time to explain my tire situation to me and I appreciate it so much. As busy as they were he didn't rush me. Great people and excellent work! Thank you! read more

I needed brakes on my 20 year old F150. They asked all of the right questions so when I dropped the truck off, they had all of the correct parts for the pads and rotors. I will be back for any other repairs that any of my vehicles need. read more

Kevin is a solid dude. Been coming here for a while and I always get my issues resolved at very reasonable prices.

Best Mechanics in Marin. This the place Mechanics take their cars/trucks when they don't have time or can't figure a problem out. Been taking my cars here since I was a teen. Trustworthy and honest. read more

Amazing Automotive Service! I had a problem with my car where I had spent a sum of over $3,000 to get a problem fixed - my previous auto repair company tried twice and they couldn't fix it. Then I brought my car to Codoni's and Kevin fixed it in just a few minutes and charged nothing. It is so great to find a repair place with integrity and skill. I recently moved to this area and am delighted to have found Condoni's Auto Service. I no longer have to stress when something goes wrong with my car. read more

Kevin Codoni is the best! My family and I have been going to Codoni's for 20+ years and he is always reliable, fair, and honest. You can't ask for more than that from your mechanic. read more

I took my 2004 Jeep Cherokee for a break job and i could be happier with the service that Kevin and his crew provided. I've had some vibrations and feedback in my steering wheel when braking on the freeways. Kevin took a look at all of the brake pads and determined that they were all at 50% and did not need replacing at this time. He cleaned and shaved the front rotors and replaced the back rotors, the car works amazingly well. Kevin also gave me a ride to the nearest Peet's coffee so i can get work done on my computer, while the car was being worked on. He was very good about staying in touch on the phone about what work was being done on the car. I almost forgot... he noticed that the oil needed to be changed and that the tires needed to be rotated. He took it upon himself to also take care of these issues. Thank you for your friendliness and your attention to my car. It was so great to get the brakes done, oil changes and the tires rotated in 3 hours. You guys are awesome! read more

Kevin is not only an amazing mechanic, he is an all around wonderful human being. I've brought 4 different cars to him over the years and he's always been able to diagnosis and fix the multitude of issues they've had. More importantly, he's treated me with honesty, respect and genuine care. I won't go anywhere else, ever. read more

I'm not sure what Eliza D's problem is but Kevin is awesome and has always provided myself, my family, and friends with excellent service. Based on her review history she seems hard to please. Moving on... Kevin has been servicing my cars since I was in high school. He has always been a pleasant person who gives excellent service. He NEVER rips you off and does everything fast and efficient. I would recommend anyone in Marin to use his services because he is not only a pleasant human-being, he knows what he is doing, and does everything at a reasonable price. read more

Kevin and the folks at Codoni's are honest hard working people. I brought in my Toyota Tacoma for a tune-up and a timing belt replacement. Kevin called before doing any repairs. They gave me the best price around. When I picked up the truck he showed me the used parts that were replaced. Honest guys. Truck runs better now than it has in years. Very nice people with great customer service. I've found the last mechanic I'll ever need. read more

The Codoni's are the best. There's no other explanation. Always available, quality work and fast. He's the mechanic you always wish for. Don't hesitate to call him. read more

I can't say enough about the excellent service I always receive at Codoni's. Kevin is honest, efficient and best of all affordable. I wish there was a higher rating! read more

This is the best auto repair shop in Marin. We recently moved to the East Bay and when we needed a new clutch we had the car towed over an hour to Codoni's Kevin and his team did a outstanding job If there were 6 stars I would give it Thanks Kevin read more

Hands down best mechanic. I've shopped around and dealt with dozens of mechanics and auto repair shops and Codoni's is the absolute best. As a young woman, I'm constantly worried about getting ripped off but Kevin is incredibly trustworthy and knowledgeable. read more

Kevin is a great person who has helped me with many car issues over the years. I've recommended his shop to family and friends without any hesitation. We are fortunate to have a company like Codoni's Auto Service in our community. read more

Long story short : Kevin went to bat for me with a dealer from whom I had just purchased a used car. He got them to replace an alternator that broke less than a week after purchase. He didn't have to do that. Although I was new to his shop and I would have happily paid him for doing the job himself he got the dealer to tow the car back to them and fix it at their cost. Like the big brother I never had. Thanks Kevin. I appreciate you. You are my mechanic from now on. Thank you again. read more

It's so hard to find a good mechanic! And for the most of my life, my wonderful dad always took care of my car's needs. Now that I'm an adult and taking care of my things, I knew a time would time where I had to take care of my trusty old 97 Mustang. My baby from college! Anyway, last month my car started making these awful noises from my tires. It could have been making those noises much longer but then I didn't notice and seriously, why should I??? Anyway, when my tires were making really embarrassing noises, and really, I couldn't deal with it anymore, I asked my coworker for a recommendation. He immediately recommended Codoni's Auto Services, which was super close to work. I can't tell you how happy I am to have found them. Honestly, for someone like me who knows NOTHING about cars and don't really care to, I worry about being "taken for a ride" and ripped off. Kevin Codoni took care of my car and was super professional (and really nice) about fixing my brake pads and rotors and was really reasonable. He was very upfront with me about what needed to be fixed, how much the parts were and the labor, etc. Today, I had to go in to get my battery replaced. I hate it when those red lights/icon pop up in my dashboard. UGH. He was able to fit me in and got it done in a jiffy. Turns out my lower intake manifold is leaking (yep, new words learned today) and when I had this blank look on my face as he explained to me, he Googled the parts, then printed out the sheet (the part was all exploded and neatly labeled), and explained what needed replacing and how long, etc. Is this guy awesome or what?? I am not too happy with all the work that has to be done on my old car but at the same time relieved that I found a mechanic that is so upfront, nice and capable. They are also good about calling me to let me know and giving me rides to work, when I need it. I really don't want to see him this often (since it means I have to get something else fixed) but at least I know I'm getting good service for reasonable rates. So hey, if you're in need of a good mechanic, call Kevin! (On a side note, I can't believe I'm the first to Yelp Codoni's... Seriously???) read more

Tow truck driver recommended Kevin Codoni and I am glad he did. Called yesterday for a brake job we were told we needed months ago and he got us in today. Within 30 minutes he called to let us know we have 35-40% left before needing to be done. $25 for the inspection. We asked him to go ahead and do the routine Lube and Oil instead of a brake job. The Tacoma was ready to go about 2-3 hours later. We had told him there was no hurry. Kevin seems honest and willing to let you know if work is really necessary or not. We will definitely keep going to him. read more

When we moved to Novato we had no idea who to go to for our auto maintenance, and someone recommended Codoni's. In short, Kevin Codoni is awesome, and most important trustworthy!! HIGHLY recommend. read more

Kevin is an excellent mechanic who will not overcharge you. We have been loyal customers for 15+ years and cannot say enough good things about this shop. read more

Codoni Auto has always been an honest, straight forward, and transparent auto repair service. Their ability to quickly figure out the nature of the problem, provide accurate repair guidance, and perform services within the estimate provided is a breath of fresh air. Kevin and Maria treat you like a family member and don't try to "over sell" or take advantage because we don't understand cars. They have been kind and respectful to our family, especially our new driving daughter who's had car problems. They truly are the best. read more

Rob and I trust Kevin at all times with our car for last minute and scheduled repairs. He is both "on it" and honest, fair and prompt. We can count on his integrity and excellent work. Thanks, Kevin! read more

Excellent service! Superb! My car battery died near work and I decided to get it replaced. I called Codoni's and Kevin was super friendly over the phone. He checked his inventory right on the phone to make sure he had my vehicle's type of battery. Once he confirmed, he told me to come right by. He was waiting for me outside and said he would have the battery replaced in 10 minutes...I think it only took him 7 minutes, actually! Great work. Efficient and excellent service. read more

We have found the answer to all our car problems at Codoni's. Kevin is honest reliable and the best mechanic we could have hoped for. Having had several bad experiences with dealers with over inflated prices and poor work we were recommended Codoni's. For example we were quoted $2,000 for our Mustang to be mended - Codoni's = $700. I needed to book in a last minute oil change today - no problem. If your car requires a specialist mechanic and parts - no problem. If I could I would give 10 * ! read more

So this review is only about a year old but I'll be damned if I'm gonna forget to do it. Over the years I've had brakes, belts and other small repairs done to my vehicles and the only shop I bother to take my vehicles to are here. I have yet to encounter another mechanic that takes the time to find the best and yet least expensive option to make a repair, even after a quote is given they will call you later if they find a cheaper option! read more

Our family has been taking our cars to Codoni for years and never once have we had a complaint. Everything is done quick and is well priced. Kevin is an honest mechanic who will tell you what needs to be fixed and what doesn't. They always have excellent customer service and Kevin always lets me know how far along they are and if anything comes up that needs to be taken care of during the fix. I know my car is in good hands when I drop it off at Codoni's. read more

Best Mechanic shop in Marin hands down. I've been coming here for years. Adam works on all my trucks and have never had an issue after a repair was made there. read more

Excellent Auto Repair. Professional service. Honest and fair prices for repair. I trust them and they always do a great job.
