Fairfax, CA Auto Repair

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.

It is very difficult to find a good place, so to find it here for a significantly better price than the dealer feels great. They test drive almost every car, they pick up and drop off and basically deliver the real-life small-town neighborhood experience. And they're dog-friendly of course! I've used them several times with multiple vehicles and have received solid, professional work with great service every time.

These guys are GREAT!!! So honest, efficient, friendly

Expensive, but the most trustworthy and friendly auto shop! Daniel and staff are great.

Daniel fixed my T1N 2004 Dodge Sprinter when a part broke in Fairfax. Although it was Friday morning and the shop had work- he rushed to fix it by the end of the day. Beforehand he diagnosed and visually explained the problem with my car. Because of this- it was easy to trust his understanding AND that he could solve the problem succinctly. I was able to drive home at the end of the day. He fixed the problem that allowed me to get home- but recommended ‘ASAP’ fixes. I decided to take the van back to him to perform those fixes. Great customer service, and the price was fair!

Recently my wife and I were in Northern California visiting family. We had taken my mom-in-law, and her car, on a little sight-seeing tour of Marin County along with some shopping and lunch in Fairfax. On the drive over, I had noted she was a little overdue for routine maintenance, and upon arriving into town, I was able to get her car into the shop on short notice. Danial, the owner, has been in the automotive trade for decades serving the Fairfax community. He and his staff were sharp, efferent and professional. They got the car in and out in just a few hours, before we even finished lunch, and didn’t try to upsell us on anything the car really didn’t need. The shop was large, clean and well organized. If you live in or pass through town and your car needs a bit of work, definitely stop in. Trustworthy and very well run!

Those guys! Polite,good humored, fast efficient, kind. Outstanding and fast and accommodating service...always.

I just had Marin Automotive do a quick Smog check on my car and it reminded me just how great they are! I’ve had Daniel and the Marin Automotive team do lots of work on my car as well as other cars belonging to family. We have ALL had nothing but the best experience with them. Trustworthy and polite! I highly recommend Marin Automotive!!!
