“Fantastic place for your high-end German makes. Sergio, Kenan and the rest of the crew really know their stuff! Pricing is very fair for the quality of work you get. And they give you a full report on everything before they start. Been coming here for at least 5 years and will not be going anywhere else.”

Transmission Repair
“We had the transmission replaced on our 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee in December. Derek and his team took great care of us and did fantastic work on the job. We were very satisfied with the work and customer service during the repairs. Highly recommend!”
“I have a 1958 Chevy Apache and was looking for a shop to do a complete front end suspension, power brakes and power steering. Was recommended to go see Frank and his crew for what I was looking to get done. Frank was able to put together some estimates and we agreed on a fair price. After getting the final motor mounts replaced was happy with the results and the way it handles and rides. Kudos to Frank, Dan, Patrick and the rest of his team for a job well done. Happy New Years to all!!”
“Adrian has been a very trustworthy and reliable mechanic for nearly five years now. I do my best to get my work done exclusively at his shop. His prices are extremely fair and he does great work. I highly recommend him!”
“Jose and Yolanda are always helpful, understanding, and informative, each in their own domain. The shop is clean and organized and instructions are succinct and followed to the degree that they are promised.”
“I stopped by Justin’s Auto Care because I couldn’t get a few car seat bolts loose, and my socket wrench just wasn’t cutting it. I didn’t have an appointment, but within five minutes, someone came out with the right tool, loosened the bolts for me, and wouldn’t even accept payment. Just genuinely kind, helpful people who care about the community.
You can tell this is a locally owned shop that values service and treats people right. I’ll absolutely be coming back here the next time I need real auto work. Thanks again to the team — you saved me a ton of time and frustration!”
“Where to begin..? TL:dr, buy and service here, Porsche and Volvo; and if you are new to Volvo like I was, be prepared to be impressed. These are solid folks, and they work with excellent products - here’s how I know:
Beginning with purchase, I needed something comfortable, reliable, and safe, for the regular long distance drives that my wife, and our two dogs do on a regular basis; between visits to the family house in South Lake Tahoe and checking in on aging parents in the Arizona desert, we rack up some miles. Martin Diefenbach is a legend in the world of air-cooled Porsches and I was fortunate enough to find myself conversing with him at a car meet one morning, and as luck would have it, he operates a boutique dealership in Walnut Creek, partnered with Antonio, who specializes in diagnostics and maintenance of Volvo Cars. I was originally thinking about an older Porsche Cayenne or possibly Macan, but my budget meant I would be buying a pile of compromises, even if I looked at Audi options; I had never considered Volvo, they simply weren’t on my radar
Martin and Antonio spent countless hours on the phone and in person, answering questions, demonstrating features, even lending me their personal vehicles, helping us finally land on The One, an XC60 T6 version, that checks all the boxes for us, proving an absolutely fantastic, trustworthy road trip companion
In optimizing it for winter use I added dedicated ice & snow tires, and I wanted to convert the hubs to studs, instead of bolt-style lugs, to simplify the swap back and forth with summer wheels & tires. This is where it becomes clear how the gang of technicians behind the scenes at Independent add immeasurable value to the Sales side. Unlike the usual pot-lot wholesaler, Independent offers lifetime of comprehensive care and maintenance, and they are excellent. After installing the aforementioned winter upgrades, and performing full spark plug & serpentine belt service for us, we immediately racked up half a dozen Tahoe trips, and a drive to the desert and back, thru a series of storms and blizzards
To say our Independent Volvo has performed well would be such an understatement, rather, it has proven to be the most comfortable, capable, and confidence inspiring Grand Tourer we could have asked for. More important though is the support, knowing that Antonio and his team, Juan, Ramon, and Savanah all get it. Volvo is a premium manufacturer and their products are designed to perform at a high level, and after several thousand miles through the most demanding conditions, thru areas where mechanical failure is simply not an option, I can wholeheartedly endorse that … assuming Independent Volvo Porsche Service & Sales is providing the support behind the scenes ~ thank you all once again! ?”
“Had and amazing experience! I thought my vintage land cruiser was done for but he spent the time and effort to bring the vehicle back into working condition at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend!!!!”
