As a neighbor for the last 40 years, I've been a customer of Greg's Tires, now Kalemba's Tires. I have had: *VW struts replaced *Full tire sets (VW and Tacoma) *Alignment *F150 wheel swap *A mishmash of older Honda problems *A life time of flats Are they fast with flats--absolutely! Are they efficient, are they hustling? For sure. Competitive rates?--check. Good communication?--check. Knowledgable?--check. A friend told me once , "The secret of being really successful in sales is not closing the deal. It's helping people find their way." I must have taken up an hour or more of Todd's time trying to figure out what I wanted for my truck. Spacers, lift kits, offsets... on and on! In the end I learned a lot and they did not get their sale. What they did get is my trust. It takes time and a willingness to have a conversation (sometimes many!) to figure out what people think they want vs what actually serves them best. That is rare today. This is not a business model that "scales up"; you can't automate or AI this kind of exchange. This is an old family business. Jeff Kalemba took over his father's business, swapping the first name for the last and expanding services, infrastructure and inventory steadily. Sometimes the kids are helping out. Todd and the crew keep things purring along, somehow finding the time for that deeper connection so lacking in the world today.

They took care of my flat in no time, even finding a tire that matched my other three. I can't praise them enough.

One of the worst places to be is on a road trip away from your "home" mechanic. My son and I were…read morepassing through Sebastopol when my Van had an issue. I found Pauline's by doing a diesel mechanic search and when I called and told them my situation, Kat (desk manager) told me to come in and have one of the techs check it out. I showed up with my son and fluid coming out of my engine compartment and right away I felt the hospitality of this place. Geo, one of the mechanics had a wonderful, peaceful presence to him that brought my "freak out" down to a "everything is going to be alright" state of mind. After chatting with him he told me to come back to next morning and they could diagnose my van. The next day they took it in and went the extra mile to get the problem fixed and even checked in with me to make sure my 4 year old son was comfortable while we waited. Kat, helped us sort out some issues with the broken part being paid for by an issue from a previous mechanic and even helped me find another part for another problem I was trying to solve. I was there pretty much the whole afternoon but it didn't really matter because I felt like was part of the family. My son felt the same. Great place to get your auto serviced and if you are in a pinch. I felt very blessed to have found the team at Pauline's. They are trustworthy, diligent and professional.

7:30 am on a Thursday in Santa Rosa…read more.. My truck broke down on the way to make a delivery... AAA towed it (and me) to Coogler's on a recommendation from a friend who knows these guys. Stressed? You know it! Concerned about the work that would be done and how long it would take and what it would cost? Absolutely! Who isn't stressed out when their car breaks down, and they're going to a new auto mechanic??? Greeting me in the lobby were three of the nicest guys who just got into work and were in a better mood than I was... Things were looking up already... Jeff was my repair coordinator, and he immediately put me at ease and let me know that they would do everything they could to get me back up and running ASAP. I quickly booked a rental truck and Ubered to the rental location to get it and bring it back to swap the goods and get back on track. One of the technicians (Scott maybe?) helped me make the swap (above and beyond? Yup!) Quick communication on Coogler's part with some texts and emails told me they had found the problem and were on the case. Estimated time to repair? End of today or tomorrow at the latest. That's fast, I thought... Good news too because I've got more deliveries coming up. 'Tis the season... Fast forward ~4 hours and I'm getting a call from Jeff telling me my truck was ready to pick up (pun intended). What?!?!?! 4 hours and it's done!!! Got back to the rental shop, got one of their guys to take me back to Coogler's, and was back in my truck at 1:30 pm. Since then, a couple of genuinely concerned calls and emails asking if everything is still going well with the truck. Normally, when I do business with someone, they only call to ask if we can do more business. This was actual follow-up and quite refreshing. Will I work with Coogler's again? You bet I will! And if you've been looking for a dependable auto mechanic who's going to do a good job of both fixing your car AND being pleasant to work with, you should too!

After going there for several years to get my smog check, I went there because my tire sensor went…read moreout and immediately they said it was the censor I made an appointment to come back have them fix it and also a all point inspection they did not fix the sensor and said my engine was so horribly filthy dirty with oil dripping because I have a major oil leak that they can't tell what's going on and that I need to get the engine totally cleaned, they referred me to an auto detail shop who will do it for $400. Then they wanted me to come back and charge me another $231 just to look at it again and tell me where this huge oil leak is coming from mind you I never saw any drop in my oil pressure never saw any spots in my driveway and because they submit Photos with your estimate which I had to call them two days later to get , not sure why they didn't give them to me the first time which to me is somewhat suspicious. I looked at the photos and I didn't see what they're talking about. So I took it somewhere else. I do not have a huge oil leak nor is my car is so greasy underneath it I would need to have the engine cleaned. It was my power steering pump so basically they tried to take me for $631 and profit the detail shop they work with I am still in shock. I thought these guys were honest and bona fide, family run business, etc. etc.. Any seasoned mechanic could sure tell the difference between oil and transmission fluid.

I was able…read moreto bring my bug right in, and he took care of all the needed repairs in a very timely fashion. Did great work, was a very good communicator, and literally worked over a holiday so I could get my daily driver back. So nice to work with kind, local people! I needed new cylinders on all four brakes, so it wasn't an inexpensive repair, but I felt the pricing was fair and the work quality excellent. Know that they won't automatically call and tell you what a repair is going to cost, so if that information is important beforehand, just ask. Incredibly kind, knowledgeable people, and a wonderful shop!

Be careful! I wanted…read moreto give this auto repair shop a good review but I can't. I took my car here to get diagnosed for an intermittent problem I had when starting the car. Typically a mechanic will call you and tell you what repair is needed before doing the work. Instead of calling me the owner went ahead and made $300 in repairs to replace a single sensor located in a very easy to get to part of the engine. I could have replaced that sensor myself in 5 minutes. He never called me and refused to budge on the price of the repair even when I pointed out that running a diagnostic and replacing a sensor doesn't take 1.5 hours. He also topped off all my fluids in my car without my permission and charged me $21 for just that. It's unfortunate because i planned to take my VW back there for more work in a few weeks but now I can't trust them.
