Needed a smog test. They were able to accommodate my walk-in and out the door in 30 minutes.

Jeff and Mike have provided years of really great service to each myself and husband, my parents and our college age daughter. Prompt, honest and always fair priced. They are a true old fashioned business which we totally trust with our vehicles. read more

Epic customer service! Jeff and Mike are very welcoming and accommodating. Ive been going to them for 10 years+ now. ​

Been around for years! Went in for a smog and I was in/ out in less than 30 minutes! The guys know what they are doing!

I took my truck here for a smog checked on the recommendation of my neighbor. Jeff quickly approached me and said he could do my Smog Check in 40 minutes. He smogged the truck quickly. Drove it up for me smiled and said "Nice truck". I hopped in off I went. I will be back he's got a customer for life. Thank you, Jeff. read more

Jeff is the best in the valley. I have been bringing 76 my cars for 20 years. It could be a simple as plugging a tier or changing a water pump. They always do a great job and very fast. I will not take my cars anywhere else. Thanks Jeff read more

Owned by Stu Lambert until his passing, then purchased by someone who ran it into the ground, was purchased again by one of Stu's longtime employees. it's now Jeff's 76 and he also owns the small 76 on Broadway. The service is excellent! Jeff puts the same care that Stu put into his client's cars. They wont rip you off, and they try to get to the root of the problem in the most cost effective way for the client. Jeff had my car for over 24 hours after my car died three times on my way home from work. After running tests, he asked if he could keep it overnight so he could drive it around town and see what was wrong. He said it might be an ignition switch and spent a lot of time on the phone with Honda. After finding out that the switch would cost $500, he decided to look at other options. He turned the car on and off several times, and my car did something that made him think it was the battery. He said "let's start with the battery. It's the most cost effective route." That battery has been in my car for five months now and I haven't had any issues! What service! And all for the cost of a battery. My family has been going here for years and I plan to continue doing business here for years to come. 04.18.12 - Updated My car died again in December. I took it back to Jeff's. After doing some research, Jeff discovered that there was a recall on my car for the ignition switch. He told me to take it to Honda and they would take care of it for $0.00. Four months later, my car hasn't died, and I have a new ignition switch at no cost to myself. Another example of why Jeff's 76 on Napa St. totally rocks! read more

Jeff is a trustworthy, hard working guy, good mechanical skills. He runs a good shop, his assistant is also pleasant and strait forward. I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff to family members and friends! read more

Jeff and Mike take great care of our vehicles and I see them service many local vehicles and take extra care of many customers. They are helpful with my parents and a few senior citizens that I know really appreciate having an honest mechanic. Thank you Jeff and Mike for the great service! read more

One of the few places in town you can get an oil change with a tire rotation. They pay attention to details and provide you with a service checklist. Nice to have the owner actually working on cars in the shop. Reasonably priced and fast. read more

Terrible customer service! I called and booked an appointment for a diesel 2013 MB Sprinter Van. The guy on the phone said we can get you in at 8:30am tomorrow. When I went the next morning I was told they can't do diesel's..when I said the guy who booked my appointment said you could smog it, I was told "oh well" and then condescendingly told, "to have a nice day" while the guy had a smirk on his face and a thumbs up. read more

We were in town for a short visit and when we started home, our "check engine" light came on. We stopped at Jeff's and he took us in immediately and said he would run the diagnostic check. We walked around town for 45 minutes and returned to have him tell us what the problem was, but that we could make it home safely. Not only was he honest, but he did the diagnostic for no charge!!!. When you have car problems away from home, you are vulnerable to a mechanic that can overcharge you for things you don't need. Jeff was just the opposite of that...he was honest, friendly and very helpful. If I lived in Sonoma, I would definitely be taking my vehicles to him on a regular basis!!! We had a wonderful time in Sonoma. Our experience with Jeff was the icing on the cake. He exemplifies the friendly and nice people that seem to be everywhere in this fine town. read more

Really nice folks and very efficient! I called before I came to make sure I could be in and out for as long as a smog check took. Can't go wrong coming here. read more

Seriously, this is the best car care ever! Jeff and his team have kept my 99 VW Golf in tip top shape for over 5 years. Jeff can figure out and fix just about anything, his troubleshooting skills are amazing and he can creatively find solutions for big and small issues . I'm a confident driver in my reliable car because of him. Thank-you Jeff and everyone at 76!!!! read more

Absolute worst costumer service ever!! I've dealt with some hard nose mechanics my life. My father was one of them but these guys are the worst. Especially Jeff. Far more friendly places in town that do better work at more affordable prices! If i could give it 0 stars I would read more

Lambert's is now Jeff's 76 Service Station on Napa St. in Sonoma., 2 blocks from the square. Jeff worked for the Lambert Family for many years. I ran into him while Lambert's was the AAA Tow Service for the Area, 15 + years ago. He was the Smog and Fuel System Specialist, and a First Class Mechanic. Integrity and Honesty Galore. All his employees have followed him faithfully, does that tell you something.; Liz, Lonnie and Mike. His Operation is Sonomas Best. He can tweek my 30 year old Porche 911 to perfection. Could go on and on..Thanks Jeff and your family of helpers. Walt G. read more

Jeff's auto repair is the highest level of service that you can expect. My family has used Jeff's Lambert 76 for years and the owner Jeff is top notch and will treat you like family. If you want the very best for your personal vehicle, you need to go here. I can not say enough good things about Jeff and his entire team. He has a great, courteous, fun staff and best of all very competent, hard-working and caring mechanics.Thanks for all that you do! read more

Quick points: -Talked to mechanic within 5 minutes of arriving (Mechanic not secretary) -Mechanic spent time listening to my issue and recommended a course of inspection BEFORE putting on the rack. -Mechanic was familiar with my vehicle -Car was ready in much less time than i expected and was returned clean and parked safely away from work areas. -Jeff (owner) asked me to take it for a drive to make sure I was satisfied with the work before reaching settlement. -Price I paid was fair and transparent. The long story: These guys are great, service like this is hard to find. I recently bought a 2005 Ford Escape and it had a very concerning noise in the front end at low speeds. I also have worked as a mechanic years ago before my overseas service but i don't have a lift and was forced to bring it to a shop and i was worried about the "we found a serious problem" line that is way to common in so many auto shops. I actually met with Jeff the owner of the shop, every bay was full and vehicles were lined up in waiting. Jeff had the time to discuss my issues and ask me about the vehicle. He had some ideas about the front stabilizer links because he is familiar with the model. However, it turns out that i had just replaced them the day before, he said ok that was a wise choice but since it didn't fix the issue he would raise it on the rack and have one of his employees take a look underneath (Mike was his name). I left the shop to walk to the market and buy a sandwich and returned about a hour later. When I returned I saw my SUV parked out of the bay. I was just about to ask Jeff when he had time to work on my car when he saw me and told me it was ready for test drive! he explained that Mike saw loose bolts in the front end near the sway bar bracket/bushings and proceeded to tighten them and checked/tightened the rest of my front end bolts. He said that they test drove the car and didn't hear the clunking anymore and he asked me to take it for a drive and if see if i could reproduce the noise. He said if I wasn't satisfied that it was fixed the would look further but it was his judgment that the loose brackets were the problem. I took it for a 15 minute test drive and was amazed and pleased that my car didn't need extensive work. I returned to the shop for settlement wondering what kind of charges he would apply. But before we talked price he asked me about the test drive and if i was pleased with the repairs and seemed genuinely concerned about my satisfaction. He told me that he was only going to charge me for half of the hourly rate which i thought was exceptionally fair. more of my opinion: I wanted to add that my problem is really goldmine for a small auto shop. i have experience here, i have worked in a few and i know easy it is for example to be able to fix the front end by tightening bolts and then telling the customer that something like the outer tie rods ends need replacement and of course after the tie rods are done recommending an alignment. this adds labor hours and parts profit for the shop. After the customer receives the car they don't hear the sound anymore and assume the mechanic has correctly fixed the issue and is never the wiser that it was just loose bolts. The extra income is almost impossible for struggling shop owners to pass on however Jeff and his crew where nowhere near that temptation. and seemed as happy as i was that it was a easy fix. Give these guys a shot I don't think you will regret it i drive all the way from Santa Rosa now to go to this shop and i think they are the honest to god fairest mechanics you can find. read more

Excellent service and very friendly folks to help you out. Jeff has done every service on my car for 176K miles and it runs as well as it did when it was new. This is the only place I buy my gas. Support the small business owner. read more

Jeff and his crew are professional, friendly and attentive to detail and customer service. I used to go to Sonoma Tires but their customer service has diminished dramatically, it's night and day between the two businesses. The communication I received before my visit was 1st class and he even told me about a $15 off coupon for the additional Smog I needed. This is the place to go in Sonoma. read more
