Thanks for the great service. Brought my car for walk-in service without appointment to diagnose why it is vibrating on high speed. They managed to take it for diagnostics and test drive straight away, and reported to me what the problem is within 2 hours, exactly as promised. They immediately provided a quote for repair, which I accepted. The car was fixed the next day by noon, just as they promised to me. Very pleasant, professional, and punctual service.

I desperately needed a mechanic to check out a car I was buying. At 430 on a Saturday, they made the time for me! I couldnt be more thankful, they were by far, the most pleasant part of the car buying experience. Side note, they also gave me done tips on protecting myself while used car buying. It was much appreciated and things I hasnt thought of. Thanks again!

First, lets set the context. I am a nuclear engineer and former Captain of a nuclear submarine. I grew-up working in my fathers service station. So I have pretty high standards and tons of automotive knowledge. I do most of the work on my cars myself. So when I needed an emergent repair while traveling far away from home (and my own tools), I was obviously anxious about finding a reputable and competent shop. I picked Robert due to plenty of positive reviews, and that he had previously helped my wife with a simple fix gratis while she was down here alone. I couldnt have asked for better anything...customer service, timeliness, technical competence, effective communications, or price. No wonder Robert has been in this location for years in spite of the growth of chain shops, dealerships, and other competitors all around him. He simply beats them hands down! Thanks again!

Robert is wonderful. Honest, diligent, and does fantastic work. He went above and beyond to fix my rusty suspension & exhaust issues even though it took significant labor on his part. My 12-year-old car is running beautifully after his work. He doesn t tack on extra fees and only does what you order. Is definitely understanding of price sensitivity (I m a grad student) and you end up paying a fair price. Also he took plenty of COVID precautions including a steering wheel cover which made me feel safe! I really appreciate this place and would recommend to anyone!

Shoreline Auto Care has become my trusted expert for Auto Repair! I have had some very frustrating experiences with other shops that were VERY EXPENSIVE and did poor work. I am a DIY type as a previous Journeyman mechanic (from 30 years ago).....and Robert at Shoreline has fixed many mistakes that other shops have inflicted on my cars, from fixing broken bolts, to fixing stripped screws....and all at a reasonable price. I used to do the basics, but now have Robert do it all.....Those large shops do not provide the TLC that Shoreline does!

Wow, what an experience we had with Shoreline. It was apparent that they had work and that their customers were happy. I was intimidated but what could we do? Our car broke down with enough push to get us to shoreline. Pricey $$ well their customer s car were imports and pricey but Robert and his team really worked with our small budget to get us to our destination and back. He gave us solid advice to work from and God forbid we have to go back but if we did we would find our way back to Shoreline. Anyone traveling on a budget to the north Bay Area either to drop off college kids, road tripping or just traveling that way I would rate Shoreline as excellent.

Great team of professionals who know their business. Ive taken all of my cars there for different levels of service: brakes, air leak, and replace a broken off mirror. Top notch service and quick turn-around everytime. Heres an example: stopped by on Monday to have Robert look at a broken mirror, ordered it, received on Tuesday, we stopped by and had it installed Tuesday afternoon in 20 minutes.

Robert and his shop maintain/repair cars for me, my family, and friends (5+ cars). The shop has worked on a wide range of cars for me from domestics like Dodge & Chevy, to Honda, Nissan, and BMW. Work has ranged from full engine rebuild, to routine oil changes. The shops ability to often get replacement parts in the same day amazes me, and because of that, work is completed fast and many times Ive been able to pickup my cars on the same day. This shops pricing is some of the best Ive come across in 7-8 years and thats one of the many reasons I will continue to have Robert work on my cars. He is really one of those trusted mechanics you are always told to find and keep, and he never fails to impress me and anyone I send his way. Anyone that is not familiar with his level of service, I definitely urge you give Robert and Shoreline Auto Care a chance the next time you need work done on your car. He and his shop are really a rare find nowadays.

Best mechanic in town. Robert (manager) and his crew are top-notch. My family and I have been taking our cars there for the past 10 years. I live in San Francisco and dont mind taking my vehicles to Mountain View for repairs. Its absolutely worth my piece of mind. Robert is fair, honest, and does great work. Its nice to have a mechanic you can trust. Give him a try, you wont find a better mechanic.

Definitely cant say the same about most car mechanics out there

I first took my car to Robert 8 and a half years ago for a smog check, when I had just moved to California... and have been a loyal customer of his ever since! Ive always relied on him and his crew to take care of all other regular maintenance and repairs as well. Robert is helpful, conscientious, extremely knowledgeable and honest about what my car needs (and doesnt need). He does an excellent job, always gets my car finished the same day and treats me like a VIP. Go in for your next car service and see for yourself. :-)

I drove over a screw and my tire ran flat on I-85 N. Changed it for the spare and the guys at Shoreline Auto Care were able to get the original patched up and replaced for me in no time at all, and they were very friendly and helpful. Saved me at least a couple hundred bucks and a lot of waiting -- very much appreciated. Id definitely recommend them for other service issues and will be going back in the future.
