5 Star Review by Tara D.

This was my family's first experience using Marin Automotive and we couldn't be more pleased. After a terrible experience at the local VW dealership we needed a reliable, local shop that could take over the work on our car without the hassles and high prices of the dealership. Marin Automotive delivered. Daniel and his team are knowledgeable, super detail oriented, and they work with you to find the right solutions for your car, at a fair price. They have excellent customer service and are timely with their repairs. You can tell that Daniel leads by example as his team is just on top of it and all around awesome. I'm so happy to have found a reliable local business that I can support while getting great service for my car.

I’ve brought my cars in to Marin Automotive in Fairfax for several different things over the years. Daniel and everyone that works there are very nice. They explain whats wrong with the car, what needs to be fixed, and the approximate time when it would be done. I trust them completely with my vehicles. I would highly recommend anybody that needs a mechanic that they can trust to take it to Marin Automotive in Fairfax.
