Salinas Car Care in Salinas

I’ve had a great experience with this shop bringing my two Datsuns(280z and 610 wagon). They’re consistently on time, which is hard to come by, and the quality of work is top-notch. Communication is clear, professional. I really appreciate how Ismael and his crew keeps you in the loop with how things are going, and really goes up and beyond with helping customers and their cars. Stepping in to the shop, the entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely makes you feel at home. It’s clear they care about both their work and their customers. Highly dependable and definitely a shop you can trust.

Ismael was very honest told him what I needed done on my Hot Rod did a great job on time and very reasonable he will always do my work and heck he is a nice guy besides. 🙂

I've taken my vehicles to Ismael from the time he had his business on Monterey and Gavilan, in old town Salinas just up street from First Awakening and now over off of Abbott and Blanco by Della Rosa's, Catapillar and Safelite. Salinas Car Care, all the staff have gone above and beyond to give quality mechanical services. Thanks Ismael, et al.

This is by far the most friendly honest shop in Salinas. Ismael cares about providing quality maintenance to customer vehicles. He does not Bullsh!t you. Great prices. I needed my BMWs valve cover replaced as it was leaking oil, quality work. I will definitely take my BMW there again.

Ismael and his crew are top notch. I own a service company and have brought a lot of trucks here for maintenance and repair. Every time they handle everything I need with the highest quality and customer service. I had a fuel pump replaced and 6 months later my check engine light came on. Took it to another mechanic because I was out of the area and they said fuel pump needed be swapped. I called Ismael he told me bring it down it’s under warranty for a year for both the part and labor! This is unheard of. He could have easily charged the labor. His honesty, integrity and overall customer service are amazing. This is what a mechanic should be like.

Ismael is an extremely knowledgeable technician and went above and beyond making sure that my Engine was replaced with the utmost care and expertise!!! I will always use Salinas Care care for my maintenance needs and would refer no one else!!!

Ismael responded before opening, I asked if he could get me in today, he said yes. Was able to get me a flexible quote that was below Midas for brakes. In and out within 2 hours for front brakes. Honest, reliable, flexible, and knowledgeable. I appreciate you guys and the work you do. Found my new mechanic!

First time we met Ismael it was after hours and he made the time to receive our vehicle from a tow truck off the interstate. Our vehicle is a 71 International and Ismael dug right in finding parts and fixing up our truck. He even asked what "his" name was! Drum brakes, master cylinder, tie rods, king pin, transfer case, drive line and then at another visit the WHOLE front axel. This shop is incredible. They communicated well with us every step of the way! Thank you Salinas Car Care!
