This past month has been an emotional roller coaster for most of us. Many of our clients have decided to delay a new car purchase and keep there present vehicles.
The result for us is that we are attracting a new, very educated and tech.savvy group of people that are simply tired of high prices and poor service. Great for us!

Remember that today's cars unlike vehicles of the past, last a lot longer if maintained properly. Engines can last indefinitely if serviced at intervals and not overheated. The mentality of the past was turn it in for a new one if the mileage was over a 100,000.

We can set up a realistic maintenance schedule for you and defer items that can wait. Need advise? Give us a call....650-344-8815

As a consumer in search of a new repair facility or an alternative to the franchised dealerships, your main objectives should be to make sure that you are dealing with true professionals. Here is a check list to follow:

How long in business?
level of product knowledge - look for specialists -
Type of diagnostic equipment - there is no substitute for factory test equipment
Trust & Integrity - obvious - check consumer ratings - Yelp.com - bay area check
Parts - original replacement parts only! Especially brake components
Technicians - ask what there backgrounds are and if they are certified masters?

Todays vehicle are just to complex for most general auto repair shops to handle. Years ago, a good mechanic could fix anything. Those days are gone and no longer possible without product knowledge,access to factory bulletins, proper diagnostics and a very high degree of experience.

Even if you don't choose us, I hope that this check list will help you avoid a bad experience.

Hi to all you new Mini owners!

Mini sales are up 17% and climbing.....

We are gearing up to handle your service needs.

Dear Future Client,

I would like to thank you in advance for visiting our site and deciding to give us an opportunity to service your vehicle.

You are making the correct decision and I will prove it. Period.

We will never sell you anything that you don't need. I don't know of any dealer, chain store or quick oil changer that can make that claim. They are in the business to sell whether you actually need the parts are not.

Tough statement....True! I will give you a prime example: Air filters generally last for at least 30,000 miles (factory recommended replacement interval). Why would you need one every time that your oil is changed? End of subject!

We have won the trust and respect from our clients over the years. I am not just blowing smoke.....Excuse the pun.

I invite you to stop by and meet our staff. See for yourself why people are choosing us over the franchised dealers......Many new clients have come to us with long lists of repairs needed, and have wanted a second opinion. I can honestly say that in many cases most of the repairs were either not needed or could be differed.

Thanks,

Mark
