Also known as S&S Auto Repair, this place is a gem hiding in plain sight. Pulled in w/out an…read moreappointment the day after Christmas, multiple 'warning lights' on the dash of my new used car (2017 Honda Accord hybrid) decided to light up on the morning I gotta drive my kid and their friend to SF for a flight. AJ, who I think is the owner, was super welcoming and took 20+ minutes to give the car a once-over to confirm I was safe to drive it as-is for the 350 mile roundtrip. Yep, buncha indicator lights but nothing urgent. Topped off the oil just to be on the safe side. Didn't. Charge. Me. A. Thing. An honest mechanic is hard to find...actually wish I lived closer to Willits so I could take my car here every time!

I have a 2005 Lexus RX 330 SUV with 413,000 miles on it. Onward Auto…read moreRepair is the only vehicle repair shop that I use to do any, and all, of my vehicle repairs at. This included, but was not limited to, diagnosing and replacing the front brakes; replacing the front structs (with shock absorbers) and the rear struts (with shock absorbers) assemblies; the rear wheel hub repairs; the service of the transmission and change of the transfer case fluid; and, also the evaporative emission system diagnosis; and replacement of heating ventilation blower fan. In addition, I have all of my oil changes done here; except when I traveling long distances where the mileage accrues. In each instance, Onward Auto Repair articulated to me in a highly informative manner for each thing which was at issue; and provided qualified reasoning for what I should consider. Low pressure, but with all of the skills, training, expertise, knowledge of the best of the best vehicle repair mechanics. I have driven over one million millions and I have resided in a score of locations, in several states. Even when I move from this area, I will make an appointment and bring my vehicle here. It is not that other mechanics aren't qualified; it is that they simply do not have all of the expertise. With all of its diagnostic equipment, which is extensive, Onward Auto Repair can do every type of vehicle analysis, which encompasses several hundreds of types of vehicle issues. This repair shop makes very formal written estimates, with extensive verbal explanations so that I can fully comprehend what the repair entails and why it should be highly considered. In addition, where appropriate, Onward Auto Repair will take Photographs of things which cannot be seen by the vehicle owner when parts are removed under the vehicle lift, whereupon an analysis is made as to those things which need repair(s) and/or replacement(s) of parts. Outside of a vehicle dealership's vehicle repair center, I know of no other vehicle repair shop that would be able to make the analysis of any given vehicle item that Onward Auto Repair. Even the prices are substantially less than a new vehicle dealer's repair prices. I am certain that my vehicle will be in qualified condition for at least 600,000 miles. I do have my transmission fluid changed every 60,000 miles, which also contributes the longevity of my vehicle, and I only use my vehicle brakes about ten percent of what most other vehicle operators do. While this ensures that any gas powered vehicle I drive will get at least 600,000 miles on it, it is the professional support I have received at Onward Auto Repair which ensures that this will occur. I leave with smile each time I depart from this repair shop.

Horrible Experience with Smith Automotive Towing and Recovery…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. Smith Automotive Towing and Recovery is by far the worst towing company I have ever dealt with. My car broke down, and after calling them, I was told a truck would arrive within 30 minutes. TWO HOURS later, I was still waiting, only to be met with a rude dispatcher who clearly couldn't care less. When the driver finally arrived, he was unfriendly and unprofessional, acting like he was doing me a favor. To make matters worse, they charged me an outrageous fee for a simple tow--way more than they originally quoted! The worst part? My car was damaged in the process, and they refused to take responsibility, blaming me instead. Do yourself a favor and stay FAR away from this company. Unreliable, overpriced, and completely unprofessional.

Three weeks later he called me to tell me they can't work on the car but he will give me an estimate what it needs and how much it will cost.

He came out apologized and kinda wiped it then charged me $160 for an estimate that he did not have ready and told me that he will email it to me and I am still waiting on that email since 12/5/2023.
