I've had a Gen 4 (2010-14) Subaru Outback serviced at Art's for the last three years or so.
Their hourly labor rates are in line with independent mechanics in the area, and the shop insists on using high-quality parts (which may make their services slightly more expensive, but is worthwhile).
They are thoughtful and transparent about what maintenance needs to be done, and they advise against maintenance that might be cost-ineffective. For example, Art's recently discouraged me from having an A/C diagnostic after I told them that having super-cold A/C was not that important to me.
They also clearly think carefully about maintenance schedules. For example, my Gen 4 Outback is driven less than 5,000 miles/year -- and Art's consistently has been helpful in advising what maintenance should be considered on a time-based schedule (as opposed to a mileage-based one).
Don't be deterred by the fact that they don't allow for online appointments -- calling them is a breeze, it's helpful to talk to one of their service managers, and they can usually accommodate you for work within 7-10 business days or so.
Art's is what an independent mechanic *should* be, which is a rare thing.

Great repair shop for all of your Japanese vehicles. Prices are fair for services and they are by far the most transparent shop I have ever worked with. They will not proceed with work until you authorize it and the whole team is easy to work with. I moved to SF since I started bringing cars here but still make the trip to Art’s because it is worth it. Highly recommend to anyone with a Japanese car.

Outstanding! I had some questions about my 15 Gen 3 Prius. Spoke to Chris and he is super knowledgeable, helpful and gave me some great advise. Thank you Chris!

Way overpriced and fairly rude. They probably do a good enough job based on other reviews (and the only reason why I'm rating 2 stars) but I got the same work done elsewhere (A/C compressor replacement, which also came with a 2 year warranty) for over $1000 less without having to wait a week for an appointment

Our family has gone to Art’s for many years. Most excellent service and great people. I give my highest recommendation for putting your vehicles into their loving care.

I haven't even got my car back yet, but these guys are wonderful. they have gone above and beyond fixing a water leak repair, which I know can't be their favorite, for my 20-yr old car which officially falls outside of their serviceable car cutoff age. they call each time the plan deviates even slightly from what they told me last. very helpful, so nice, and so committed to fixing this bummer of an issue i brought them.

So grateful to the team at Art's Automotive for taking our car before the holidays when we had an unexpected repair needed. They got it fixed right before they closed for the holidays. We really appreciate their quality work and timeliness in getting our car back on the road!

It's been a decade since I last wrote to the Yelp community to say how much I trust and appreciate this amazing place. I rely on them for good advice. They NEVER upsell and they understand we're all on budgets. They are friendly and are not rude or condescending to women like most auto outfits. You cannot go wrong with these folks. I'd give em six stars or more if I could.

When we lived in the Bay Area Art's was our auto shop for major services.We have moved out of the state since then, but they continue to offer their advice regarding our vehicles over the phone and email for free!Don't seek anywhere else to service your hybrid car even if you have to drive across the entire Bay!
