“10am Leaking bad on the highway. Chose wisely and found A&C available. Fast diagnostic and got right on the repair of leak in radiator cap and hose. Done by 2pm. Old pros are a pleasure to find.”

“John was awesome! I really like how we were able to inspect the car with him upon arrival and departure. He was extremely thorough when walking us through the fixings, and he could not have been more transparent about the time/price estimate. We originally came to John needing an emergency fix, but now we’ll come back for all our car related needs.”

“What a great experience! I found Righetti online, after having an issue pop up on the weekend. They were the only shop open on a Saturday and Steve answered after the first ring. He agreed to see me in the afternoon after finishing with another customer and sure enough, he was ready to help when I arrived. Steve is professional, knowledgeable and friendly, characteristics that are rare in automotive industry. He walked me through what was wrong, explained the solution and fixed the problem on the spot! I'm thrilled to have found Righetti Automotive and will be back for all car service needs from now on. Thx Steve!”

“I was a long time customer of Jack Neuhaus, who ran a top notch shop with excellent customer service and expert repairs. The crew at ATS@neuhaus is continuing the tradition. Suzanne is wonderful, and everyone is a total pro. I highly recommend this shop.”

“They have done an excellent job with my BMW X5 and they are honest and reasonably priced given the generally unreasonable state of the car repair world today. I have extensively researched what is the best place for BMW repair and I wholeheartedly recommend Collie. ??”

“I no longer own a BMW now but when I did, A-1 was my primary mechanic for all issues on my beamer. Best price anywhere and did the recommended fixes that JP recommended and never had an issue again. My 2006 3 series had over 300k miles before I sold it almost a decade ago.

I now own another brand of vehicle but if I ever own a BMW again, this will be the first place I'll take it to without a second thought! They know BMW's down to the atom! You won't regret!”

“Truly a lovely experience. Brought the family MGB for some service recently,
and Olivia and team hooked me up! Fair and honest folk who know British cars well!”

“I legitimately considered not leaving a review, because once more people learn about this shop and its owner (Tony), things are going to be too busy to get my vehicle in for work haha. I had been hearing a screeching from what I believed to be the front right of my vehicle (metal on metal) and knew it wasn’t a pad or rotor and had decided it was a wheel bearing that needed to be replaced. I called Northern Stars Auto at my father’s recommendation and described my issue. Tony ordered my right wheel bearing (warned me that I might need to do both left and right, but didn’t push my decision at all) and told me to be there as early as I could, so he could get everything done in one day. He was concerned that I was driving from Healdsburg and didn’t want me to have to make multiple trips and waste my time. Not only was I wrong about my diagnosis, but Tony very quickly found that it was my drive shaft assembly that had failed. I figured I was out of luck and would have to wait days for the part and for Tony to have time to do the work; nope. In 15 minutes, tony had found an aftermarket option, placed an order that would arrive in a few hours and assured me that he’d have it done by the late afternoon. I was ecstatic, but he wasn’t done there. He was concerned that it was hot, gave me two bottles of water if I was planning to walk around town to kill time, offered for me to stay on his lobby couch and use the free wifi, for as long as I wanted. AND recommended things to go do and places to eat in San Rafael. Tony not only got all the work done, in the time that he had quoted, but also gave me a completely reasonable price for everything. (Oh and he fixed my air conditioner, my radiator and refilled all of my fluids, just because. I can’t say enough good things and I am incredibly grateful. THANK YOU TONY!”

“Ron and Bonney are great! I wouldn't have anybody else touch my vehicles for alignments except Ron. He does an exceptional job with attention to detail he makes sure the job is done right. He has been taking care of my vehicles for over 37 years, never had a problemHe is the best!”

“Clint was an unbelievable help to us this last weekend for Triumphfest‼ Our classic car gages failed and looked like it was overheating badly. Even though the shop was not open, he agreed to help. Not only did he repair our car, he brought it back to our hotel as well. Amazing service, amazing business. Highly recommend ‼”

“I want to personally thank Shannon at Aamco for the quality of service, the outstanding job and attention to my vehicle along with the care for my family. I read reviews about going to the dealership instead of to this location. Believe me when I say That whatever issues you may have the dealership is the worst place to go. I have been to both and Aamco did an amazing professional job fixing everything the dealership destroyed. The dealership just didn't destroy my transmission but my faith in people to do the right thing. Aamco stepped up and repaired both!!! They are stand up people and go the extra mile to get things done right the first time! Thank you so much for all your help and attention to my transmission and faith in people. Sincerely!!!
Daniel”

“Paul is the man! I recently brought in my '91 E30 after it failed smog, not really sure what was wrong. Paul took a quick look at the numbers and immediately knew what the issue was. He explained everything clearly, which really put me at ease. I left the car with him for a few hours, and before I knew it, I got the call that it was ready for pickup. In just one day, I went from failing smog to getting the necessary repairs, re-testing, and passing without any hassle.

If you're looking for a reliable shop that knows European cars inside and out, I highly recommend this place!”

“Efficient, thorough, honest, fairly priced. No gouging or nickel and diming. Glad to have followed my friends recommendation. I will be back for future service.”
