I've been going to Lemos for my car's annual service for several years now and also purchase gas when needed. Raul and Julio are the two service technicians that have been taking excellent care of me, as well as everyone working there. The owner is a lovely lady who always has a warm greeting. It is wonderful to be valued and appreciated as a customer and it is gratefully appreciated. I would recommend them for anyone looking for the best automobile service on the Peninsula. read more

I got my oil changed there and they let me know my cabin filter is okay, I trusted them but The next couple of weeks I start feeling like crap cause of my allergies. If the cabin filter is even a tiny bit dirty I like it replaced. I came back and they did nothing, wouldn't even look at it. I explained it's a medical issue and if they can at least show me how to open the compartment so I can see and they just tried to reassure me again that it's part of the service, if they said it's OK then it's fine. They don't really care that I'm telling them It's a medical condition and I need it changed if it's even a little dirty. I suggest you ask to see the filters if you come here so you can be sure cause now I have to go and change it myself read more

my work has uses Lemos for our auto repair needs and they have always been great! I called for my personal car, as my tire had a nail in it. Raul was able to take me that day, no problem. He was fast and efficient. The staff are so kind there. I was in and out in about 15-20 minutes for a tire repair! I would HIGHLY recommend them. read more

Talk about having your back: They've done it again. Went in for an afternoon oil change and a check on squeaky brake. Raul changed the oil. When I went to pick up the car, Raul gave me the news. The brakes were desperate for an overhaul and the brake fluid had moisture in it. We'd have to make an appointment right away. "how about tomorrow" When I told him that tomorrow I had to make a trip up the coast he said without hesitation,"Oh no it won't. this car is not making any trips until this is done!" "But I have to testify at a hearing tomorrow!" Again without hesitation he said, "Nope, this car is in a dangerous condition. Then he looked at his day book, "I can rearrange my afternoon schedule and we can get it out by 5:30 or 6 today." I said, "Sure, let's do that." At 5:25 I received the call. "It's all done" and they drove it to me. These guys really care about what they do for their customers and they go out of their way for safety even at their own inconvenience. Thanks again to the whole crew at Lemos 76! read more

I love that this gas station still has a full service lane. My brake light recently came on and I was able to get more brake fluid so quickly and easily to solve the problem. read more

Here's a kind and highly knowledgeable mechanic. Over the phone this gentleman generously helped me determine what a proposed repair at another shop should cost and then referred me to an honest mechanic who could help right away. I'm indebted to Lemos' mechanic for steering me in the right direction. Saved me a lot of money and trouble! read more

Coming back from camping our check engine came on, Raul was able to help us on this issue. It was quick and easy! Thank you again

Great service. We needed a pre-purchase inspection on a '22 Subaru, and Lemos fit us in within 24h of our Yelp message. They were ready for us at the appointed hour, conducted a thorough inspection, charged us a fair price, and went over the results with us in detail. They did miss a crack in one taillight, but pobody's nerfect. read more

Wonderful place! I want to thank Raoul, Luis, Jesus, and the rest of the crew for taking such good care of my 2013 Fiat 500. They are friendly, skillful, and above all honest. They charge fair prices and never try to gin up unnecessary repairs. Their care has allowed me to keep the car I love that other mechanics are reluctant to work on because it's small and sometimes difficult. Love them! read more

Lemons 76 is the best. They get you in quickly, are knowledgeable and competent. They will order parts for you but Al's will tell you exactly where you can order a part from for less! read more

Website and door say open at 7:00, is now 7:10, lights are on in store and door is locked. No one to be seen behind the counter. If you're gonna claim you open at 7:00. Please, open at 7:00. read more

Highly recommend! Amazing service and value! We were heading to Big Sur and a kind driver alerted us our brake lights weren't working. Found this little shop, part of a 76 station. Raul and team serviced my car right away and replaced all three burnt bulbs in just a few minutes AND at a great price!! So friendly and great service. While I filled my gas tank they also cleaned my windows. read more

Clean gas station with full service available upon request. Free air to fill your tires if needed (which we did), and the attendants seemed nice. They also offer smog checks. read more

Raul and Master Mechanic Luís helped me with my friend's VW this morning...jumped the battery, did a diagnostic on the radiator...We were very happy with their professionalism and personal attention to our distressing situation! They located a problem with an engine fan (?) and I will go back for another diagnostic soon to track down the exact issue. The lady in the office gave us hot coffee and bottled water while we waited. Thank you to the Lemos 76 crew for "saving the day". read more

Lemos 76 is our go-to service station in the Carmel area for Smog Inspections and tune-ups. We do call ahead for appointments as they can get very busy. They are very straightforward and do a good job each time. We have been using them for ten years and really appreciate their fast, reliable, quality service! Some friends of our just gave us 76 gift cards, we like it so much!! read more

See all

Let's see, I take the car in at 3:30 pick it up at 4:05. Charged for .9 hours labor(@ $150.00per hour) went back and tried to get an explanation for the over charge on labor hours. Went back to ask why I was charged .9 hours, all 3 people have the same answer." We shouldn't be penalized for being fast" was the pat answer from all three! Pretty well rehearsed! I wouldn't want anyone else to have to endure this dog and pony show. It was worth it just to get out of there. Beware!!! read more

Absolute saints. While staying in Carmel, the wife and I were on our way to Big Sur in our rental car when we hit a gnarly pot hole on a roadside pull off. It popped the little plastic shield under the car loose and it started to drag when we went over about 25 MPH. We called the rental location and, as always, they were little help. So we called Lemos 76 and they said they couldn't fit us in for an appointment, but if we wanted to run by they could look at it. We did, they said it was a cheap plastic part, and lo and behold in about 25 minutes remedied the issue and reattached -- all for the price of the lift fee. We drove 5+ hours the next day with zero issue. The team was wonderful and did everything to make sure we were back on the road quickly, even without a reservation. Thank you Lemos! Forever grateful. read more

The best service station ever! Attentive, caring staff and reasonable prices. Whether it's service or fuel, look no further.

Very fast service and no extra charge for installation fee. Customer service was friendly and very fast. read more

Made a same day appointment for a smog check required to renew my registration. All the staff was polite, and there is a little seating area to the side where I waited while the smog test was run. The owner of the station even offered me water while I waited. This location is independently owned. Great local business. read more

Do not be fooled by their website and don't even be fooled by the signs posted all over their property, they do NOT perform smog checks.

I'm visiting Carmel and got a nail in my tire. I found Lemos 76 on Yelp and had a great experience! I didn't have an appointment and just stopped in. Evan my service technician was friendly and fast! He fixed my tire within an hour for a fair rate. read more

Raul was very kind. Our oil change and car check up was done quickly. They cleaned the windows without us asking. They also gave us free water. Would recommend going here! read more

Our car was making a strange noise as soon as we approached Carmel from San Jose. Yikes! Thought our weekend would be ruined, but Justin saved the day. read more

My car made a horrible sound on start up 2 months after a new alternator was installed by another mechanic. Kurt knew exactly what the problem was - a belt on the alternator needed adjustment. He fixed it in five minutes and was kind enough not to charge me. I was shocked. I'm so accustomed to being charged hundreds, or thousands to take care of my car repairs. It was refreshing to get a break for once. Kurt is a mechanical genius and Lemo's 76 is very fortunate to have him in their employ. I've been buying gas there for 2 1/2 years. I'll be doing that for life now. Thanks read more

We rolled in today with no appointment after discovering a coolant leak in our 25 year old Toyota truck. Justin diagnosed the issue in less than a minute and had the parts ordered and a new radiator installed before the end of the day. He was so kind and professional that we left there feeling like we had met an old friend. Lemos 76 is a treasure for the Carmel area and Justin is that rare combination of great mechanical mind and caring about the people who rely on the vehicle. Thank you Justin and Lemos 76 for really stepping up. read more

Excellent service by this station. Our delivery van had a hole in the tire that we noticed last minute while we were out doing deliveries. We called them and they accommodated us right away. We were back up and running on schedule as soon as they fixed the tire. The service was quick, up and out within 20 minutes of arriving. Thank you so much Lemos 76. read more

Fast service and courteous staff. Very convenient and they work hard to accommodate your needs.

highly recommended , very reasonable rate and very helpful people. Service is amazing. 5 out of 5 stars While returning back from camping My car was wobbling. I went to this shop. Kurt McBride immediately identified the problem and Raul Maldonado prioritized the fix after seeing we have kids and we stuck on the way because of car issue. These people did not add any extra charge for emergency. On top of it they gave free service for oil change , glass clean and viper liquid , Very reasonable rate. Again, highly recommended. read more
