We love Gregg's honesty and his willingness to ALWAYS find a solution. We wouldn't have our cars serviced anywhere else. He's honest, efficient and reasonable. We have been dealing with him for at least ten years and have NEVER had a negative experience! read more

Really nice guys, very knowledgeable and not out to get you! I have a very low car and its always a problem to get work on, let alone a new axle. These guys were careful with my wheels and helped me alot with warranty work once we found the axle was defective. This is more of a repair shop than a modification shop however these guys went out of their way to help me and even hooked me up with Newtons down the street for an alignment (also hard to find for lowered cars!) read more

We have been taking our cars to the Masters for probably 20 years or more. They are the absolute best and always have been! You will not get fairer treatment or better service than from Greg and the mechanics at the Masters. We wouldn't consider going anyplace else for car repair. read more

Greg and his crew are amazingly helpful. I found them via Yelp and I want you all to know that all the great things people say about this business are all TRUE! The shop is clean. All are friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you Greg and the mechanic for helping me get home! read more

They finish my car on time. They were very friendly. They should me what was wrong with my car. No bs

Car has been acting up for a while and I finally took it in to get looked at. I wasn't sure where to go and saw Masters had great Yelp reviews so decided to give them a try. I called as soon as they opened in the morning and they said they could squeeze me in later in the afternoon to get it checked out. I liked that they were upfront and gave me a quote on how much the labor would cost to look at the car (around $60 for 1/2hr of labor). Gregg explained everything in layman's terms so that I (someone with limited car knowledge) could understand. They were very timely in making repairs and fair with pricing. Also appreciated that they have a waiting area upstairs with a couch and some chairs if you are sticking around. Highly recommended! read more

Ten times better than the dealership. I've had three Honda Accords all serviced with The Masters and have had nothing but a great experience. They know what they are doing. read more

This is a first class, top notch business establishment. They are honest and always do excellent work! Since I am constantly moving due to my military service, It is always a challenge finding a mechanic shop I can trust. I read the positive reviews on The Masters and I am glad I gave them my business! I trust their knowledge and their work...I will continue to do business with them until I move to my next assignment. read more

Ditch the dealership and come see the guys at The Masters! Being a single mom I always look for a good deal and honest work. Its very intimidating to get my car worked on because I have no idea what they are talking about and always feel like I'm getting taken advantage of. Its a small shop. 1 office guy, 2 or 3 mechanics and it was not intimidating at all. The younger guy worked on my car and actually told me I was ok putting some stuff off until I reached 60k miles. How cool is that? I'll deifinitley go back! read more

Sometimes it can be a real "nightmare" to find a good, dependable, reliable, honest mechanic, well, look no further, the "dream team" you are looking for is THE MASTERS, in Seaside !! Greg is very organized, and keeps the office running smoothly, just as his dedicated mechanics will do the same for your vehicle.. I am very happy with my choice of being served by The Masters... Great Job Guys.. read more

I have been taking my Toyota Camry here for its whole lifetime, and the service at The Masters is so good that now my entire family goes here too for service! They are very easy to schedule with and they work incredibly fast. Everyone is so friendly and they're very knowledgeable. The prices are also incredibly reasonable. The Masters charged me literally half of what the dealership was going to for my maintenance. Don't go anywhere else! read more

Excellent shop, I was on my way to Monterey this morning, engine light came on and car was running poorly. Looked up independent Honda service shop. Their name came up. Pulled up and the owner was sweeping the shop out and JR checked me in, then Greg touch base they got the car fixed and out the door by 3:30. Wish these guys were closer to home it's kind a shop I like to go to when I get my car serviced. read more

I've been taking my Hondas to The Masters for over ten years now. I absolutely love their honesty, professionalism and quick service. Greg does a fantastic job communicating. He will tell me what needs to happen with each service and how much it will run. When I pick up the car, he tells me what occurred and what I should expect for the next service both work and bill wise. I find it helpful to know how much I should budget for my next service. I appreciate the quality work of the mechanics. I am grateful to have an honest and reliable Honda mechanic. read more

They did a great job for me. Took in my girlfriend's car cause the tire was making some strange noises. They found the problem, called me up with a quote between $325-350, and replaced the wheel bearing all in the same day, and even came in at $324 for everything. Quick, friendly and fair pricing. Can't ask for much more from a mechanic. read more

I am so happy I found The Masters. Honest, reasonably priced, great auto care and great customer service .

Great, friendly service. Greg was really up front about prices and what was happening with my car. I appreciated the respectful and fair treatment I received. I would recommend this shop to all, especially women (like me) who other shops have tried to take advantage of. That won't happen here! read more

I finally found the best mechanics ever! My engine light came on, so I went in with no appointment, and described the problems I had been having so they hooked it up to diagnostics, changed two coils and I was on my way within 20 minutes! It was the best and most professional experience I have ever had at any auto shop. They explained everything in detail and I was amazed they did the work so fast. I told them I would definitely use them if I had any other problems. Well, as things go... that same day my son told me his car was shaking and lurching forward when he stopped, so we went in the next day, and again, they were awesome. They diagnosed the problem, gave us an accurate estimate and timeline and fixed it within 4 hours. The mechanic also let us know that the airbag was actually turned off and that we could go to any dealership and have them fix that at no charge. This was a safety issue we weren't aware of and it makes me extremely happy that we can take care of it now. They go above and beyond any auto service shop that I have been to. I can't tell you how happy I am that I have found them and they definitely have a customer for life! I can't recommend them enough - 5 stars for sure! read more

This is simply the best auto repair shop in every area of service we have ever used in our 60 years here on the Monterey Peninsula. Great owner and mechanics who are just as friendly, patient, polite, communicative and HONEST as they are mechanically talented. Just yesterday, as we were leaving on an out of town trip our car engine just started coughing, misfiring and even shaking. Without any advance appointment we raced into Greg's shop and they calmed us and said they'd take care of the car. When we returned from our trip ( using a rental car ) the very next day our car was ready and the repair bill for a clogged up with carbon part and loose alternator belt was what Toyota would charge "just to look" at your car. Arriving to get the car I didn't have my credit card with me and we were actually allowed to take the car home and pay by phone! You just don't find personal services like this anymore. Whoever finds this Masters team is being given a gift. One of the best things about living here on the Peninsula is knowing we have The Masters there for us when we need them. We've been going to them for over 10 years now...and after 20 visits at least, they have consistently been this fantastic. 6 stars. The Bauer Family read more

I was having some trouble with my Honda Element stalling when going up hills, I wasn't sure what the issue was so I brought my car here due to the excellent reviews it got on Yelp. They guys there were super helpful and fixed it up quickly. A few days later I was having some problems with a check engine light that had turned on, I brought it back in and they were more than happy to help and got it taken care of right then and there. I will definitely keep going there as long as I have my Honda! read more

Honest, helpful and always reliable. I've been taking my Toyota minivan here for years and they are always super helpful and never add repairs without asking. They have very good communication and prices. read more

I was intending to buy a used car out in the Monterey area and needed a professional evaluation. Being that my family mechanic is located in San Jose, I couldn't very well take the car all the way back there, so I called up The Masters based on a prior Yelp review. The guys there were totally awesome. They told me what all I should bring and what information I should find out from the seller of the car, and got me right in as soon as I showed up. I had the full attention of 2 different mechanics (I missed the names, but I think one was Steve or Steven) who gave the car a good onceover 3 or 4 times. They did not rush too much, and answered all of my questions along the way, with just the right amount of joking to make it an enjoyable experience. I have worked with many mechanics and "car guys" before, and these guys were knowledgeable and honest. Oh, and best of all, they did the entire exam for no charge and a great attitude (not like they were doing me a favor or something). If I lived in the Monterey Peninsula area, I would definitely do my regular servicing with The Masters! read more

Greg to the rescue again. My daughter calls and says her car made a funny grinding noise and now the car won't move. I call Greg and he suggests having the car towed in so they could take a look. Once the car got to the shop they were able to diagnose the problem right away. Greg gave me a call and said the car would be ready that afternoon. My daughter and her car are back on the road. Thanks again Greg! read more

I wouldn't take my Honda anywhere else on the Monterey Peninsula. These guys know customer service, and most importantly, they know Hondas! I took my 2001 Accord to them a while back because it was leaking coolant. They told me that the work done on it wouldn't take long, but they had a lot of cars to get to. I was gonna have someone pick me up, but the OWNER offered to drive me home! Not only did the owner take me home, but they had the car ready early and the price was less than they quoted! Greg, JR, and the boys at Masters are the best! read more

I wish I had found these guys years ago. I have taken my Honda to the dealers for far too long. I have had The Masters service my car twice now. As others have said, price came in below estimate, and they are friendly and knowledgable. I had actually ruled out buying another Honda, because I didn't want to be stuck with the dealership's service, but now I feel like I could consider buying one again. Thanks Greg and Mike. read more

These guys really do a great job and are very professional. We took our Honda Accord here whenever we needed service. Great work!

I couldn't recommend THE MASTERS highly enough. Unbelievable customer service here. I recently had to make a decision about whether to repair my 2004 Odyssey (163,000 miles) or to look into buying a different car. Greg not only walked me through all the immediate repairs that it would need, but gave me an informed opinion about future work that would likely be necessary if I repaired it. He also made himself available to answer any questions I had to help me make my decision, and he never pressed me to make a decision. This is particularly impressive because he let me keep my car in the shop for the duration of the process, which lasted for over a week. Exceptional service. read more

I was visiting Seaside from a few hundred miles away when my check engine light came on. I stopped in here and he (can't remember his name... Sorry!) checked it out immediately at no charge. It was nothing major, so I didn't have to have any repairs done while far from home. I tried to at least tip him, but he didn't want it. Honest, friendly service. If I lived around here, this would be my new go-to auto repair place! read more

These guys are incredible! I have a Nissan, which they don't normally work on, and they were able to fix my car on a few different occasions. They are very well priced and do the best work you could ask for. The staff is super friendly as well. Do yourself a favor and come here when you have car problems, you won't regret it. read more

Greg was very professional and helpful over the phone. The source of my car's problem was not easy to figure out, but John knew how to troubleshoot the problem. Both men were very competent, courteous and honest. I will not only definitely come back to this establishment, but will let my friends know about this place as well. read more

They are awesome! Greg is always super helpful, easygoing and friendly. They have always been fast, knowledgable and super reasonable, and they tell me when something is important to fix right away and what I can probably hold off and save up for down the line. Greg has even helped me with little things when I've shown up with no appointment and not even charged me. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I love this place. They do a great job, in a timely manner. Greg helps me plan my car service so I can plan the rest of my life. I have a customer of The Masters for decades. read more

All I got to say is not masters had to take my car to a shop down the street ( a1 precision) to find the problem with my car,

I've been getting my cars serviced at The Masters since 1998 and I've found the people there to be professional, honest, and reliable. They really are masters. The manager, Greg, and the mechanics are knowledgeable and friendly. Anytime I've had a question about a problem, Greg has answered it clearly and found a solution to it. In my 16 years of dealing with them, the final costs have never exceeded the written estimates, and often have been lower. I recommend The Master highly. read more

Thanks to The Masters they saved me over $2,000.00 that a dealership wanted to charge to repair with a part that just cost over $13.00.

My daughter attends school up there and we needed to find a reliable place for her to take her car to and know that we are not being overcharged. After reading reviews of the auto repair shops in the area, I found a parent that had similar concerns and this was the shop for them. It's been 3 years and they have been awesome at taking care of the minor issues on her 2009 Honda and ensuring that she keeps up on the maintenance. Best reliable and team and service. Could never thank you enough read more

I have been taking my cars to the Masters for several years. Greg and his team are great! They are very professional and provide service in a personal way. I trust their advice and care of my vehicles. In addition, I have called Greg to ask for advice regarding my kids' cars and he has been so helpful. Very trustworthy and excellent service!! read more

If you want quality mechanical work and personal customer service for your Acura, this is the place to come. I've been a customer here for years and they work quickly, offer rides if you need one, and price fairly. The level of service here is rare in this industry. I recently had an urgent car matter and they accommodated me immediately, so I could be on my way. Thanks Greg and JR! read more

These guys are the best mechanics I've ever found. They only do work that is actually needed, and I've heard them even try to talk a person out of work that they thought they needed but didn't. We always bring our cars to them for service, and don't trust anyone else. We literally factor them into what cars we buy, in terms of whether they will service them. My dealer quoted me $1200 for a routine 30,000 mile service on my Ford Mustang. The Masters laughed at that and told me it would only cost a few hundred bucks. They pointed out that you gotta ask why a manufacturer would make a car that needs a twelve hundred dollar service only 30,000 miles in. They did the service for me, even though they don't typically service Fords. We love these guys! read more

Greg and his team are wonderful. I have been taking my Toyota Corolla for about 5 years and they have done superb job every time for very low prices and sometimes for free. My friends who use Master's services are also very happy with this business. They are very honest and reliable. Another great thing about them is that they work very efficiently so you do not have to wait too long. Furthermore, when I needed help last week with other car issues beyond repairs, Greg referred me to another business which was equally helpful. I think this is the best car repair company you will find in the area. read more

If you have a Honda or Toyota this is the place to have it maintained and repaired.
