Great communication throughout the diagnosis , great work and just overall smart and honest mechanics.

Mike and the team at Todd's Garage are wonderful. From our first conversation with Catie on the telephone, we knew that we were dealing with polite, professional and knowledgeable people. Our car was fixed promptly and at a reasonable price. Todd's Garage is a rare gem and does excellent work. read more

I was lucky to find this place during a road trip on thanksgiving week. Mike helped me with diagnosing a check engine light on my 4Runner. Also added high octane fuel cleaner to my gas tank for the injectors. It was raining, and we were halfway thru a week long road trip. They were the only auto repair in the area that was open, and he dropped what he was doing to help us, so we could continue our drive up north. It seriously saved our trip. Really appreciated the help! read more

My grill on the front of my Lexus was making a rattling noise. I was out of town and didn't know where to go for help. Yelp had many positive reviews for Todd's Garage so I called them. Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The mechanic was all of that and more! He determined it was more than just the grill. He identified the scope of the problem & fixed it. I highly recommend Todd's Garage. read more

I had an unexpected check engine light come on in my Prius while visiting the central coast from Southern California. Todd's made time for me on a Friday morning and saved my car from certain demise! They were kind, efficient, and incredibly reasonably priced for the work done. Thank you Michael for your help, I so very much appreciate you and your wonderful work. read more

Needed to do a smog check on my new vehicle. Took it in to the team here and they went to check it but said because I had a new battery that I hadn't done enough engine starts. Told me what was needed and set up a new appointment a week later. Didn't charge me for the first time (even though they could have) and ran the test the second time without any problems. Really stand up guys working here. read more

Most welcoming garage to tackle oil changes, smog checks, and catalytic converter anti-theft devices, plus so much more. Father/son team of truly honest car and fully competent maintenance (surreal hearing 'you don't need that', to many items that we inquired about for both our cars)! This is family owned and highly recommend, no matter what you drive. These guys provide the type of care as if it's their own cars they are servicing. Note that this is not a hidden gem...... wait time getting in is often lengthy so call and make your appointment sooner rather than later. You're welcome in advance!! read more

Todd's Garage - No-nonsense most honest and competent services for all cars! - Auto Repair Near Me - Morro Bay, California

A problem occurred on our auto, and being out of our town did't know where to go. Autozone recommended Todd's Garage Wow, I'm blown away. Fixed it and I could tell at every step-he's a real pro! I wish we had him in our neck of the woods-far better. Final job came in under what he thought, so another plus. I can't say enough. Morro Bay is so lucky! Phil Kk read more

Good local shop. I had the fix an issue that the Honda dealer wanted $2,000 to fix. Todd's did it for half that. Good guys to work with.

We were traveling through town on a post-Christmas vacation when our Jeep started acting up. I found Todd's Garage on Yelp with good reviews and he was close to where we were. I called to see if he had time to look at the car and he said yes. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had it repaired in no time. The charge for the repair was fair and reasonable. Mike was friendly, and didn't sell us anything we didn't need. I highly recommend Todd's Garage. read more

I've been to Todd's garage twice and both times was treated awesomely!! Bill took the time to thoroughly explain how they were going to look into the problem and how they were going to fix the problem. My first time in I just dropped in and they were able to look at my vehicle right away, assess the situation and fix it. My second time in I called and explained what was wrong, asked if I could have it towed over and looked at. Again Bill was accommodating and said we'll look at it as soon as it gets here. They looked at it called me with diagnosis and my car was ready by the end of the day. I highly recommend Todd's Garage!! read more

Bill is amazing! I seldom write reviews - but hat's off to him for being an honest person - so gifted with his craft! The Hyundai dealer I've been taking my car to for the past few years has suggested I replace things that don't need to be replaced (just yet) and replace things I've need to have replaced and not replace them (yes, I actually changed my own air filter after they serviced my vehicle; 61y.o. female looking at YouTube to figure it out on my own)!! Bill validated what does not need changing (yet), and showed me pictures of exactly what he was referring to with my belt. I am so glad I took the chance to read the reviews, make my appointment in advance, and get the most amazing service I've had in 3 decades! Coming back, Bill! :) read more

My truck had an occasional strong gasoline smell. I thought it might be coming from the gas filler tube. After analysis, Bill found that it was a cracked lock ring at the fuel pump. The necessary repairs were made quickly. Every repair done was explained in detail. Todd's Garage is the best ever and I would recommend them to anyone needing car repairs. read more

Fantastic service, honest and forthright, Bill was able to get us home from our trip to Morro Bay on time and safely after our Honda Accord broke down. His hard work and dedication saved us so much time and money. Bill and his son are highly skilled, knowledgable and polite. We are so grateful we found Todd's Garage. read more

The best in the county of San Luis Obispo! Superb service, professionals with years of experience. You'll always get more than what you paid for. They'll always remind you of what your car needs. In addition to that they'll always call you to remind if your service is due. read more

Great service, knowledgeable and accommodating staff. I have brought both of my cars here for oil change and 100k check.

Very pleased with their quick, friendly and honest assessment and repair of my car. They were very reasonably priced and got us back on the road in an hour! I highly recommend this little auto shop. read more

From making the appointment to finish, Todd's was great! Appointment was easy to make along with a reminder day of (actually would have preferred a day ahead!). Mike walked me through the service they were going to perform - basic 30,000 svc on my Subaru Crosstrek plus their own set of diagnostics that they check. I was offered a ride home (didn't need). Service was performed on-time and all work was clearly explained. Cost seemed reasonable. I will definitely use Todd's for future service. read more

Todd's is the best there is. They are fair priced, they will always be honest with you about what your car needs or doesn't need. I went in there because my car wouldn't start. Had it towed in. He did a full check on the car and found out it was a battery issue. Fixed it right up! Easy peasy! Thanks Bill Todd! read more

I love Bill's descriptive style of communication, and he has always been honest and very fair. Great work. I'm glad we have him here in Morro Bay. read more

Off all my years driving (25), I must say Todd's Garage is the most professional, honest and best quality car shop I've used. They are always available to help and solve any problems the 4 family cars we own. If there's something they can't work (European/diesel, motorcycle, windshield, etc), they always refer us to the most accurate mechanics in the industry. 100% recommended. Love working with them. Thank you Todd and Mike. read more

We dropped in, hoping they could make a fix for us. Very pleased! Fast, friendly, and affordable. Thank you, Todd's!

I received excellent service. I'm a return customer and will continue to do so. Thank you Todd's for a job well done and the advice on some much needed upgrades for an old old pick up truck. read more

Todd's Garage is the best! Super thorough with everything including oil changes and taking the extra time to look over the car. I completely trust Todd's garage.I can honestly say that Todd's is the auto shop you can feel comfortable and confident with. read more

They are very thorough and oh so nice to work with. Recommend this local business as good people with deep knowledge of cars, how they work, and what to do when they don't. Fair, honest and dedicated read more

These guys are honest to a fault. I've been going to Todd's for years, and have only stopped because I've moved. They've consistently come in under estimate for me, and once, they even didn't charge me for repairs, because it was something they had done months earlier, and they thought it should have stayed fixed. We've all seen the Dateline episodes with the cameras under the hood that show lazy, hornswaggling mechanics--you won't find any at Todd's, which is run by Mike and Bill Todd, a father and son team. read more

Bill was so nice and knowledgeable about my car's issues. Went in for a diagnosis for my honda and he knew exactly what was wrong. Highly recommend this place! read more

I've been using Todd's Garage exclusively for 4 years now. I have no reason to go anywhere else. They're very knowledgeable, and keep up with all the new technology. But best of all, they're as honest as the day is long. A couple of times they've convinced not to have work done that I thought was needed. They clearly, and patiently explained to me why I didn't need to spend the money. I can't recommend Bill and Mike highly enough. They are the best! read more

I have a 2002 GEM electric vehicle that I inherited that did not run. I could not find anyone to fix it, until I found Todd's Garage. Bill and his son are outstanding people. They were very kind, patient and honest with me regarding my vehicle. They kept me posted every step of the way regarding the repair. When I took it home, Bill's son actually stopped by my house to make sure I understood how to drive it and maintain it, since I had never driven one before. This is someone who went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I was secure in using my car. I highly recommend Todd's Garage!!! Thank you!! read more

I feel like this is a very honest place to take your vehicle! They explain things very well give you options and were able to get me in twice pretty quickly to diagnose my vehicle! I definitely recommend and will be coming back again. read more

What a wonderful service I have always received for my gas/electric car (the first Prius in this county!!). Todd's Garage is truly the best, my car is going on & on. And I really appreciate all the advice I've received from them all these years. Bill went to special work to learn about my car when I first got it, all of them have been wonderful for it & given me great guidance--and assurance I can keep it & keep goin'!!! Vera Wallen read more

Todd's garage is the best! They do a great job and they are friendly and helpful. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Great business. I've gone to Todd's for over 20 years. read more

Do not take your car here! This is a father/son team. The son is helpful but the father is rude and unprofessional. He overcharges for services. Yesterday I went in to get a smog check and Bill (the father) told me he was closed.The problem was he was talking to a customer and working on a car! Do not use this garage read more

Took my car in for oil change and radiator flush. I was offered a ride back to my house and a ride to pick up my car. Since I needed the exercise I declined; however, I thought that was very generous since most mechanics never offer rides to & from the shop. Needless to say, I was very pleased with the service on my car. I was treated fairly, the owner was very pleasant and professional, and the mechanic knowledgeable. I will use Todd's Garage in the future and encourage others to do the same. read more

Todd's Garage is reasonably priced and, most important, honest. They thoroughly explain all aspects of the check points and what will need to be serviced at future miles. read more

My truck was running terrible, so I took it to Todd's on a recommendation. Todd pulled out his stethescope, snapped on his rubber gloves and listened to my motor. He claimed I needed a new water pump and it would run about $1000.00. I made an appointment and then dropped off the truck. After a half day, they called to tell me they couldn't do the job because the truck wouldn't fit on their rack. I wound up going elsewhere, and it turned out it was only a clogged fuel filter. They completely misdiagnosed the problem and it would have cost me hundreds more for unnecessary work. I got lucky on that one... read more

Update: Okay Bill Todd gets full credit for calling me to talk to me about my review. But Bill seems to want to claim that I am responsible for everything? He claimed that I was the one that told him to replace the "front" tie rods. In fact all ll told him was the previous owner of my vehicle had purchased tie rods, gave them to me, saying "tie rods" needed to be replaced. Bill Todd still claims he was right in that he found the outer tie rods were bad but the tie rods provided didn't fit. Yet, Hinson's found that an inner tie rod was bad? I asked him why he didn't see that and Hinson's did? He claims it was "hidden" within a bellows? How is that Hinson's saw it without starting any work? Because they had it up on a rack? Does this mean Bill didn't bother to put my vehicle up on a rack? And I asked if the tie-rods I provided (which he said didn't fit so he had to special order the from Ford) might not have been inner tie rods? In and case he claims the outer tie-rods were shot and he did do that repair properly according to Hinson's. Maybe he is right? But I didn't tell him to go after outer or inner tie rods I just told him I thought the tie rods were bad? So, why didn't he check them all? Because?? Oh he "doesn't do alignments"? So, shouldn't he have sent to me to Hinson's from the get-go then? So, I watched a U-Tube video on replacing tie-rods and after removing the outer tie-rod the mechanic in the video showed how he immediately detected the inner tie-rod was bad because it was loose? In the video he said its best to replace both the outer and inner tie-rods. He shows the location of the "bellows" which is another rubber boot, (which Hinsons's told me was shot on one side). In any case Hinson's felt one did not have to be replaced but they would have to, again, take off the outer tie-rod to get to the shot inner tie rod? So? Was Todd's garage thorough? I leave that for you to consider gentle reader. Bill claims that parts go bad when explaining the warped thermostat housing. Nelson's garage didn't seem to agree. Who would you believe? Bill doesn't want to listen to why the customer might be put off and he gets miffed when he isn't thorough and blames the customer. IMO Todd's garage really needs to refer all tie-rod, suspension, and alignment work to Hinson's as they appear to have competent, and thus, better mechanics when it comes these issues, given that it is their speciality. As for the thermostat and housing? I drove to Placerville from San Luis Obispo and back with a warped housing and a coolant leak? Nelson's told me I really should only be driving locally under those conditions? I sure hope my engine wasn't damaged. But Todd's garage did manage to get me through the smog test although he had me test twice even though I already knew (from the previous owner) that the light on indicated the thermostat had to be replaced. This is a case where I did ask Bill Todd to just replace it. Instead he gave me an argument and wanted to run the smog test first so he could see what the code was. The code came back indicating that the thermostat was bad. That meant I had to pay for two tests at $49 + $22 when one was really only necessary. The point I am making is that I could have forced this issue but instead went with the advice of the mechanic? As I did with the tie-rods? I am not sure what else I could have done? read more

We just cannot say enough good things about Bill and Todd's Garage. We have two old cars that they keep running. Over the last 8 years years they have fixed an air conditioning system that another garage couldn't figure out. They replaced a radiator that I assumed was out of warranty but they looked it up and found that it had a life-time warranty. No matter how busy it is, they always have time to fit us in if it is necessary. Thank you. L and J read more
