Fairfax, CA Auto Repair

They are very fast and courteous but VERY EXPENSIVE. I usually do my own work on my Subaru as this economy is nuts, alas, I was on a road trip so didnt have an option and knew I needed new brake pads and two new calipers before I traveled back east. I told them this and they still did a diagnostics on my brakes. They charged me $1600 for that diagnostics, all new calipers, brake pads, and labor. Im not sure if these are just Cali prices but I was in shock. Last time I did this myself cost was: $345

Helped me in a jam. My car would make it back up the hill. Had to leave it over the weekend. Very thorough diagnosti. Had my husband review the recommendations. We only did the absolutely necessary repairs. Thankful to have them right in town.

Wonderful service!

This was my girst time using Marin Automotive. They were polite, clean and informative. I found the prices to be competitive. I'll be back for sure!

Daniel and his staff are all amazingly, friendly and accommodating. Always helpful, great work and totally trustworthy

Marin Automotive has taken care of my Mini Clubman for years! I cannot recommend them too highly. 10 stars. They are so transparent in their recommendations with clear photos to keep you informed along the way. Communication is beyond expectation- texting, calling and emailing. The work is fast and efficient and always successful. They keep track of everything including warranties you didn’t even know you had. Everyone is friendly and the shop hums happily with all makes , shapes and sizes. Huge added bonus - a local family business. They really are the best

I recently needed to get my wife's car smogged, and Marin Automotive was the most convenient since the folks at Rhino had shut down -- however, once I experienced M.A.'s superlative customer service and reception and observed the warm relationship they had with their other (obviously long-time) customers, it became clear why they've been thriving "since 1995"! I then returned with my 2014 Subaru for a 90K service, and it was by far the best, most thorough going-over that car had seen since Bob of S&N left town. I would enthusiastically recommend and endorse this Fairfax gem to everyone.

Everyone who works at Marin Automotive—Art, Joey, Daniel, and all the mechanics—are so happy! The joy and care they give is palpable and I think it’s due to their skilled and knowledgeably infused work and their good hearts. I highly recommend them! What a gem and sane place to take one’s car and spend time in amid the chaos of our times. Thank you all so much for your professionalism and integrity.
