I was searching high and low on the Peninsula for a shop I could trust to install lowering links and spacers on my 2026 Range Rover Sport. I checked out various shops and Armen at Artec said he could do it and had experience with installing Airmatic lowering links on all types of Euro cars. It's hard to find shops that will work on Rovers around here. Armen and Lev took excellent care of the truck while it was in the shop and really dialed in the stance perfectly for daily driving and Access Mode. I am extremely pleased with their work and customer service very friendly guys and I plan to have them lower my other cars soon. If you are looking for top notch service and expertise for any mods, hit them up! read more

Artec Automotive redefined for me what excellent customer service means. To give you an idea of just how honest these wonderful individuals are, I will share a short story. I used to drive a 2012 Mercedes Benz C250, which had more than 169,000 miles on it at the time. After I got a check engine light, Artec Automotive determined that the issue would cost at least $2,500 to repair. Instead of encouraging me to do the repair, I was advised to avoid the repair, given the car was getting up there in miles and may have required much more repairs shortly after. I ended up selling the car shortly after. I have never had a company advise me NOT to do a repair that would have generated plenty of revenue for the company just for the labor fee alone. This act of honesty was so incredible because I am used to mechanics ripping people off. Artec is the best Automotive company I have ever worked with, for their honesty & transparency, for their overall value, and for their knowledge of vehicles which they freely give to customers like me. If in doubt where to go for your car needs, look no further than Artec. This company does much more than car repair - they handle tinting as well as performance upgrades and car audio, in addition to diagnostics and repair. read more

I define quality as function meets expectation. The people at Artec exemplify just that! When the time came to replace my O2 sensors and a valve cover gasket on my E46 M3, I read the online reviews and rolled the dice. The comments said,"They honor their quote.", "Communicate well.", " Have a cool dog." So, I gave them a call. They saw the car that afternoon. Two days later, it was fixed and came in on budget. No stories, no surprises. They just.got.it.done. Bonus: to kill time, stroll around the garage and check out some of their personal projects. These guys love making Teutonic 'soon to be classics' better. One favorite is a 740 E38 converted to a 5spd manual. Another...an E36 BMW 24Hrs of Lemons veteran tucked away in a corner. Their cars stay nimble and engaged. Good vibes from people who love cars. Definitely going back! read more

I had a great experience with Artec. I recently purchased a new Alfa Romeo Stelvio and asked Artec to install an after-market exhaust, PPE for the front-end, and ceramic coating throughout the rest of the vehicle. The guys there were very helpful in answering all of my questions. The work was completed in the time they said it would, they communicated with me throughout the process through emails, phone calls, and texts and their pricing was clear and fair. I am happy to give these guys all of my future business! read more

I have been unable to drive my car for a couple of months and was having issues with my headlights. I had checked the fuses and was interested in having some rewire my lights. I looked up and got a referral for Artec Automotive. I pulled in and went into their shop. I was impressed by the cars they were working on. I was able to get Arnie to help me. He spent ten minutes and replaced the lights that I had purchased. He was so kind to take time to do as he did. he would not take anything. I have not had anyone before do such a thing. I am impressed by this as there are so many auto shops in the area. I would highly recommend if you have any auto needs check them out. I was impressed by the first person and blown away be Artie. If you are looking for modification, wraps or interested in resorting that favorite car. Artec Automotive in Belmont, check them out! Bill K. read more

I needed to get my knock sensor replaced. I used Yelp to get a quote around my area because I didn't have time to call or drive around. Artec was the only shop that gave me an actual quote using my VIN. The other shops kept urging me either pay for a diagnostic to confirm the issue prior to completing what needed to be done. I read through their reviews and saw how others trusted them, so I called them to set an appointment. They told me it would only take a few hours to get fixed. I dropped my car off at 10am and it was ready within 2.5 hours. The amount they quoted through Yelp was the exact amount they charged. No hidden fees. They also had Apple Pay, so it was a quick transaction when I picked my car up. I will definitely come back because they were efficient and have a fair price for the service. read more

As an Audi owner I've tried all the shops and dealerships in the area. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING comes close to Artec in terms of service and reliability. The best shop I've ever been to. They are extremely meticulous and will take care of your vehicle like it is their own. They are always quick and efficient often taking me last minute for simple issues. The best shop and people, I have made this my go to shop for great reason and can see my self going here for all future needs! read more

I recommend this shop for any of your car needs. Extremely professional and kind employees and their quality of work is excellent. I got my BMW M5 wrapped here in matte perfect black vinyl wrap and it came out absolutely amazing. The attention to detail quality of craftsmanship is out of this world. They also use the best brands in the industry. Quality work and exceptional service. I definitely recommend them for alllll your car services. Eddy was extremely helpful and made this process a breeze. Thank you all. read more

My regular car service place had recommended an AC belt replacement for my ancient 2005 Subaru Foreste among other things but were un-contactable afterward so I found these folks online. If you're reading this review - I recommend requesting a quote from Artec Automotive (and others you maybe browsing) right off yelp. They are super responsive, all-digital and reasonably priced compared to the other autoshops around. Saves you time, phone calls etc. They take your VIN# order the exact part and things are ready when you arrive. I took the trouble to post their invoice, their estimate is just as detailed and arrives to your email/phone in advance - impressive. They replaced the AC drive belt in 30mins. It's a small place limited parking so they get your vehicle done promptly which is really nice. There is a seating area to wait. read more

Artec Automotive - Impressed with their digital estimate/invoice system. Comes via phone & email to you. - Auto Repair Near Me - Belmont, California

An awesome experience from quoting to completion. Would highly recommend Artec Automotive.

I recently brought my high-end Italian race bike to Artec for touchup and detailed paint polish work on the frame. Ernest was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. His work is excellent and he accomplished exactly what I asked for. Not only did Ernest complete the work while I waited, but he was very thoughtful and consultative throughout the process. I give Artec an A+, and I highly recommend Artec for your next detailed paint project. Thanks again, Ernest! read more

Quick to reply via yelp chat. Friendly, knowledgeable, super cool shop. Def will come back for more service.

The Team at Artec is simply over the top...I'm just happy they were able to get me in and be completely patient with my work schedule! Aside from being incredible people their skill level is elite in every facet of the automotive world! Their communication was superb through the entire process and Artec took care of my car like it was a rare exotic and not the simple ass Model 3 that it is! I could not be more thankful for their service...I felt like family and not just another customer. So stoked and gracious that my car is protected: Full front PPF and custom cut specialty pieces for my OCD self (A pillars/Cargo/lower and mid rocker/rear fender/etc) Full tint And ceramic coat I know they'd much rather be working on the super sikkkk cars in their shop but they treated us 10/10. read more

Great Service and friendly guys! I called them asking if they could take a look at my 1995 M3 project I've been working on because the alignment felt off after having it done and 2 different shops and all the parts on the car are new. They test drove it to get an idea of how it felt before the alignment (something 9/10 shops don't ever consider) and once the car was on the rack they spotted a few issues that require attention to make the car feel perfect. Post alignment the car feels infinitely better to drive and isn't unstable at highway speeds anymore! These guys know their alignments! They also got me in right before Memorial Day weekend started which I greatly appreciated. Thanks Artec! read more

Good communication over yelp and on the phone. Shop is clean with some pristine show-quality older BMWs inside, at the end of a line of shops where you can see work going on all kinds of cool classic and modern cars. You can tell from the cars coming in that these guys are enthusiasts. The team was friendly, the work was fast, and reasonably priced for the quality of service. read more

If you're looking for auto shops on Yelp, chances are you're looking for a Unicorn: a shop that you can trust and provides good work, fast (bonus points if they love dogs!) ... Artec is that unicorn! They are fast, honest, and know what they're doing. They also don't try to rip you off, which is refreshing! My convertible's back window needed to be resealed/replaced. I called literally every car place from RWC to Burlingame (and some places across the bridge) that works on convertibles. ALL but 2 shops told me they couldn't (wouldn't) reseal the window and that I needed to replace the entire top. I have a 2019 Buick Cascada that is in otherwise pristine condition, so replacing the top (@ $3k-$4k) seemed crazy to me, which my out-of-state mechanic friend confirmed. I was about to just give up and seal it myself when I came across Artec... Artec was the ONLY shop in the area that agreed to reseal the top. They also explained that the *window* (not the entire top) should be replaced, but the glue will hold for about a year so I don't need to worry about that now. Their shop is across from a gas station (the one just north of O'Neils) and behind another (much smaller) family mechanic shop. Artec is bigger and much busier than the shop in front of it, so the fact that they are excelling even in such close proximity to a competitor speaks volumes! Also important: these guys give off great vibes! They are very genuinely kind and helpful. You can tell that they truly enjoy what they do. Finally, and most importantly IMHO: they love dogs! They have the prettiest, sweetest and most well-behaved dog. read more

I had a very positive experience with these guys. They are very knowledgeable about BMW and also friendly and down to earth. I used to do car work all by myself so I could tell. No nonsense. They love what they do. The price is very reasonable considering the quality of the work and their attention to detail. Highly recommend you give them a call. read more

Yes, super highly recommend this place. Staff and owner was attentive and took their time to explain the different kinds of tiny for my mini. Yes, they have a third vendor that does their tinting but they guarantee the work. Parking is going to be a challenge so prep yourself. They are one of the many car shops/repair in the area and it can get pretty packed. read more

This shop is very honest and the most skilled mechanics in the area from real old cars to modified street vehicles. This was the only shop that could fix my wife's van and he found the other shops misdiagnosed and found problems in 45 minutes. Was fixed all problems cheaper than anywhere and done great . Van has never ran better and now we have a shop for my wife to go and have work done right the first time . God bless these people at Artec vintage automotive read more

The staff is very down to earth and they're very easy to talk to. I went to other mechanic shops to try and fix my car, and the other guys were lazy and didn't seem to help fix my car problems. However, artec and their staff are super helpful, and you can tell they're passionate about cars. Don't go to the other lazy old fart mechanic shops. I'm very glad I found these guys! read more

Replaced my wheel bearing to help me get rid of the vibrating sound my car was making. Went to big o tires multiples times and they couldn't figure out the problem, but Alex fixed it over one weekend. Cost was price of wheel bearing + 200$ labor. Thank you so much! read more

I am so happy with my windows! The guys there were very polite and helpful too. I got old tinting replaced to remove years of old baby stickers from my car. There were two super cute dogs on the premises also. I would definitely recommend this business. :) thank you again!! read more

These guys are the best and will go above and beyond to solve your problems. I had a nasty food spill and after dealing with a mix of inexperienced and unreliable car techs, they were able to solve my issue while keeping me informed at all time. Their pricing is straight forward and no surprises at the end. Their service is impressive and they'll stand behind the quality of their work. Beside being knowledgeable, they're also able to find quick and cheap solutions to solve your problem and make sure your cars comes out like new. They have followed through to make sure it was the case. I couldn't recommend them strongly enough. read more

With the weather really heating up, I finally decided that the factory window tints on my 6 month old ultra red 2023 Tesla Model X wasn't enough so I researched yelp for a solid detailing shop and found Artec. Very nice family run local business in San Carlos. Very convenient location. They have a great deal of experience with Teslas and were very responsive to my questions and gave me a very reasonable quote. I went with their recommendations on the level of tinting and of course I chose ceramic to help with blocking IR that I don't think factory tints do as well. At least I wanted to make sure everything was optimal in preventing too much heat from damaging the interior and to keep the overall temps down from the windows. My Model X was already PPFd by a shop in San Jose but I really liked the newer graphene coating tech and so had Artec coat everything. Again very reasonable and competitive pricing. I have no regrets. The detailing work was outstanding and the car looks brand new again and dirt doesn't seem to stick! I really appreciated their expertise. Ernest spent time with me to go over how they detail their cars and recommended cleaners if I wanted to clean the exterior myself and that was so helpful. They are friendly and efficient and they returned my vehicle at the promised time even though they had to take extra time and energy the night before to get the job nicely done. I am impressed with their invoicing service by email and paying them is a breeze with Apple Pay. Believe me, they will take great care of your vehicle! The window tinting made a huge difference in the decreasing the radiant heat transferred in through the glass. Highly recommended! I've always hand washed my own cars but I will be going to them for their detailing from now on. read more

I needed to replace some suspension parts on my car and I don't let just anyone touch my car it's custom it's classic and it's expensive so I chose Artec for that job! the guys did amazing job ! They are fast and reliable honest people ( I have some experience with automotive shops) and their prices pretty good too for what you get . Highly recommend them read more

I've been coming here for years. Only place I trust to do quality work. They specialize in pretty much everything related to your vehicles needs. From. Basic maintenance to full on custom fab work. They even do tint, ppf, wraps and paint correction. They're prices are worth the value in work provided. read more

I went to get my car checked because my electrical power steering light went on. Was greeted by Danny and Scott at the front. Scott immediately checked my car which I really appreciated and he let me know what was wrong with the battery. There was corrosion build up on my battery... which is terrible and my car could stop at any time. I asked if its possible to get it changed right away. Scott went back in to ask, and the others just immediately said no.... and that it's not possible. I understand that they have a lot going on, but they didn't give me any reassurance or any options. Just a no, sorry. When someone tells you your cars battery is at it's worse, and your car could stop, won't that give you major worries? I understand the busyness of the day during this time of the year but no empathy showed. read more

Wow once again ARTEC Automotive blew me away! Amazing high quality work, I couldn't be happier with the results. My first experience with ARTEC was for a modified exhaust for my 2016 BMW F36 435i Grand Coupe. The challenge with my model of vehicle was there were no affordable aftermarket exhausts for my model (only for F32's). Eddie told me that Armen could custom fabricate a custom exhaust for my 435i. It ended up turning out amazing, sounds great and quality wise looks like something that you would see on an M4 GTS. ARTEC's summer intern custom fabbed some high quality anodized aluminum uprights for my Vorstenier Carbon Fiber Spoiler which look great on my car and I get compliments on them regularly. After these few upgrades I had the itch to beef up the power to support the amazing sound of the N55 engine. I decided to go with a N55 Pure Stage 2 Turbo which on 91 octane pushes my 435i to 440whp. Eddie had great recommendations for parts to support that power such as a Pure High Flow Inlet, Fuel-It Low Pressure Fuel Pump, Bosch Spark Plugs, Dinan Intake, Fabspeed HighFlow Catted Downpipe, Evolution Racewerks Charge pipe and turbo pipe, and a CSF Intercooler. ARTEC did an excellent job installing these parts, and also helped me setup my MHD ECU flash. They even went above and beyond to help me clear transmission codes on my car after the flash. Overall their customer service is awesome, always replying to emails quickly and providing honest recommendations and advice to keep my car running smooth and efficient. We need more honest shops like them out there, I highly recommend ARTEC for any performance modifications to your car! I'm so pleased with how my car turned out, and it's an absolute dream to drive. ARTEC was more than willing to work within my budget and were very flexible when it came to price matching which I really appreciated. Thanks ARTEC for all your hard work, couldn't be happier with the final product. read more

This review is a week late, but wow Artec is a hidden gem. They encompass everything that you would expect from a 5 star rated shop - very responsive, professional, honest, transparent, kind, and reasonable pricing.

We are very satisfied with their work and will be coming back for any automotive services going forward. Thank you!! read more

I brought my 2015 Mercedes here to get serviced for service B and to look into what might've been causing a squeaky issue. Ryan gave me a quote online for service B and said they would look into the other issue. Price is very reasonable compared to the dealer and another shop I went to. They figured out the issue that afternoon and was able to get the parts ordered and get it fixed in the next two days. I feel like bringing my car here gave it a second life and it drives newer. I cannot stress enough how easy and GREAT this experience was. They even washed my car for me. Next time I need to get my car serviced or have any questions I won't hesitate about coming here. It feels so great to find a shop I can trust. I'll probably try to get my entire Merc fam to come here. read more
