I needed a Smog certificate, so I started looking for a garage in town…read more I checked Yelp and sure enough I found a couple of places...Now like most of my reviews I was aware of this garage and I'd been by it a hundred times, they were always busy. Certainly the sign of a good place whether it's a restaurant, car repair or a bar. I linked onto the site and followed along until I found the spot to make a reservation. Now the question was asked "leave car" or I'll wait". I chose leave the car and no reservations were available for a few days so...I backed up and chose I'll wait an available times popped up for tomorrow... Okay tomorrow 9:45 that would work. I arrived for my appointment a bit early, Jaedon was in the office and he logged the car in and said he'd call when it was ready, cool. So I left to do my work out and walk and a couple hours later I saw the missed call and a text to pick up my car, wow. Now he had told me the service fee and I thought that was a bit high and yes that price included the smog certificate. Once I was back in the office, (they have a great little waiting room just behind the shop) Jaedon reviewed the inspection they had done on the car and the washed my car too. A good shop will wash your car, that was cool. Everything was in good order, the car passed the smog test. I ordered the filters and wiper blades that needed replacement from the big A and saved a couple bucks. I was very pleased with the service and easefulness at Wimmers, you earned another happy customer. Foodguy - Martin

WOW!! My car has…read morehad trouble starting for the past several months intermittently; we replaced the alternator, battery, terminal... caps? whatever holds it in place. And never a solution that lasted very long. We kept wondering if it was the starter, and our suspicions were confirmed after my car had issues starting again this morning. We were turned away from a different shop, but a quick call confirmed that Wimmer's could help us out. We arrived around 12:45 and ended up picking our car up at about 5pm - they were able to switch out the starter and complete an oil change, they even gave me a complimentary exterior wash! Altogether it ended up around $900 including the diagnostic and the VERY thorough multipoint inspection. I'm so appreciative of the whole team, they really hustled to make sure that we could have our car back before they closed and it truly means so much.

Panicking, and knowing that finding someone locally to work on a Sprinter (especially on short notice) was going to be nearly impossible, I started to scour the Central Coast. Luckily, one of the SLO German Automotive's staff recommended this shop and boy was I glad they did! SLAR&S not only diagnosed the burnt emissions sensor, they were able to get and replace the part, recharge my AC, and even pulled off my bumper (at my request!) so I could get the new tow package on. All of this done next-day!!!! I couldn't believe how clutch these guys were and the price was very reasonable. From now on, my Sprinter only goes to SLAR&S!!

I'm taking a moment to share my experience with Morin Brothers Automotive Services because it truly…read morestood out. I live in Montana, and my son is attending Cal Poly, SLO. Early one morning this week, I got a call from him: "Papa, something's wrong with my brakes, and I need an oil change." Being far away, I immediately began an exhaustive online search for automotive centers in the area, carefully reading through numerous reviews to find a place I could trust to take care of him properly. Morin Brothers consistently came up in my search, so I gave them a call, and I'm very glad I did. From the very first interaction, Elena was outstanding. She was responsive, professional, patient, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Even after reading a mix of reviews that made me slightly hesitant, her level of care and clarity gave me the confidence to move forward. We discussed the needed services, oil change, front and rear brakes, and a tire rotation. While the cost was not cheap, it was fair and comparable to other estimates I had received. When Elena later called to review additional diagnostics, I admit I was cautious, but trusting her judgment, I authorized the work so my son's vehicle could be properly and safely evaluated. A few hours later, she followed great news: the additional diagnostics revealed no issues, and there would be no charge for that extra time. She also mentioned that a previous oil change may have resulted in some excess oil being spilled, which likely contributed to the concern. As a parent, especially with a student away at college, moments like this matter. It's not just about the repair, it's about trust, communication, honesty, and peace of mind. Morin Brothers delivered on all fronts. They communicated clearly, acted with integrity, and stood by their work. Whatever may have led to the occasional negative review, my experience suggests there may be more to those stories. This will now be our go-to shop for my son's vehicle. Even if, though perhaps not, the cost is slightly higher at times, knowing your son or daughter is being looked after properly, especially when you're not nearby as a parent, is worth every bit of it. I am truly grateful for professionalism, transparency, and care. Highly recommended. - Thaddeus Widmer
