I was referred here by a friend who has used Gary, the owner for years. Ran into another person who had been having his auto serviced by Gary for 15 years. That specks volumes even before he worked on my car. Great work, honest answers at a decent price! Gary will ne working on my car moving forward. Coming from Chicago, the dealerships here are to ne avoided.

Great work, they know what they're doing, and they're honest. Perhaps that should be a given, but sadly one can't take it for granted these days. The owner Gary Veilbaum is super.

My check engine light came on, on my way through Burlingame and Gary was great. Despite having a full garage, he checked it out and had me on my way in no time.

Gary was very clear with his assessments and explained to me his thought process and reasoning for his interventions with the car issues I had. I really appreciated his transparency and willingness to guide me through the plan. The communication was fantastic all the way through, including expected expenses and timing. I felt very comfortable that any questions I had would be received in a thoughtful manner. Very positive experience!!

Great quick service. My motor started shaking on Tues . Wednesday I called 3 mechanic. One didn't want to look at it the second said he was very busy but would fit me in on Saturday. Gary returned my called and I took it to him on Thursday morning. About 3 hours later he found the problem and fix it. It was one of my car pistons. I payed him about $281. I don't know if that is what other mechanics charge for the job. But I was so great full I didn't care. I got my car fix correctly. And was able to return back to work. Thank you Gary for your quick service.

Gary is THE BEST. We have been bringing our cars to Gary for over 30 years. His work and customer service are superb and his prices are always fair and reasonable. Gary is an amazing diagnostician and has been able to figure out and fix some really challenging problems. He is also great at coming up with cost-effective solutions (like finding an aftermarket kit to repair, rather than replace, a costly aluminum cylinder head). He is also a great guy and will take the time to walk you through the issues and alternatives.

This was the first time I had my car inspected after moving to the Bay Area. Very easy to schedule, drop off and pick up the car the same day. Gary was very honest and polite, explained everything he would check out in detail and the estimate was very reasonable. Highly recommend this place.

Family-run business that’s operated for over 100 years. Gary, the current owner, did a pre-purchase inspection of my Subaru (on little notice) and found every detail, even staying late to check a final port that needed to cool down. Easily the most trustworthy mechanic shop I’ve used. Favorited on Google Maps so I remember to come back.

Gary was absolutely wonderful, reliable, and trustworthy- which is hard and nerve wracking to find in a mechanic. He was able to diagnose what was wrong with my car, fix it and get it back to me in a timely manner. He explained it very well to me and even took a video for me to show me what was going on. His prices are very reasonable, honest and fair. I will definitely be going to Gary for all future issues and repairs.

I needed to get a Brake and Lamp Inspection with a certificate. Checking all the Yelp searches and reviews cause me more confusion. Prices were like doubled or tripled that what was mentioned on the web. My body shop tech referred me to call Pacific Auto Repair at Burlingame. I called and left a voice message and Gary returned my call. Gary told me over the phone how much it would cost and when it's the best time to come in. He's got the BEST prices in town and I've checked over a dozen locations from SF to SJ! I did not have to leave our car for a few hours. He does it right away when you have an appointment which I did online. This place is a HIDDEN GEM if you need an Official Lamp Adjusting Station and Official Brake Adjusting Station!
