I've been doing business with VW Cardinale for over 22 years now, buying and leasing Tiguans and…read moreTaos. Steven has always Bergen our straight shooter dealer and friend, never once trying to upsell or pressure, always getting us the best deal possible. Jesus and Mandi in Finance work miracles, as they take your credit info, your income and hoped-for payments, then use some kind of Jedi powers yo get that deal you can live with. The hardest part is the wait: part 1- find the right car, part 2, gathering info, part 3, patiently waiting for finance to do their their thing (this will take some hours, so don't bring kids), then part 4 - review and signing papers. By law everything has to be open, transparent, explained and signed. It's on this rather cool electronic board (4x5) where you e-sign, a sign, and sign, etc. All done? It all prints, here are your keys, and now you have a car, with first due in about 30-45 days. Being long time customers (we know just about everyone by name as we have brought all the cars to the place for servicing - now VW has a log of all maintenance for warranty purposes!), we get good deals or services for reduced prices! Relationships are everything to this Cardinale crew, and we will be sad when the time comes for us to move to our retirement home someday. Kudos to All!

Applied for a position at Porsche and BMW. No one ever got back to me. Upon trying to reach…read moremanagement, I left several messages and no one would return my call. The GM for Porsche SLO led me to believe I was going to hired. I followed up several times and left so many messages and he never once had the courtesy or professionalism to return my call. I believe they are racially motivated and if you don't have the right last name then they will completely ignore you. I tried to speak with Theresa the CFO but yet again was Ignore after several messages. I think it's ridiculous I can't get a few simple answers.

I had the front side windows tinted to match the rear windows, and a light tint placed on the windshield to reduce UV rays and IR damage. The windshield tint is not noticeable and seems to be a common aftermarket installation; particularly in areas that get a lot of sun. During a very warm month of March, it seemed like it kept the interior cooler, putting less strain on the A/C. Gabe also applied PPF over the front of the vehicle and tailgate as well as door cups. It's nice knowing these surfaces are protected from rocks, and anything that could chip the paint. A lifetime ceramic coating was placed over the top of everything to promote a lasting shine and protection for all surfaces. This is the third vehicle that Gabe has provided this service for me, and he always does a great job. High attention to detail, dependable timelines and a fair price. His new shop in Marina is very nice and reflects his quality oriented business.

I spent some time researching for the best place to tint my windows in the area. I came across…read moreElite Auto Spa and read a lot of great reviews online. I gave them a call because I had questions about ceramic window tint. I spoke with Gabriel who was very patient and super knowledgeable. I didn't feel rushed or felt like he was just trying to book a sale. Gabriel took his time and really explained the whole process and how ceramic window tint works. I booked my appointment and the service provided was top notch! Gabriel and his team did a fantastic job with the tint on my Toyota Tacoma! If you're reading this as I was before pouring over reviews looking for a reputable place. I 100% recommend Elite Auto Spa!

Danny at Marina Tire & Auto is wonderful. While I have brought many vehicles here (tires, oil…read morechanges, small maintenance issues), my most recent visit is prompting this review. I had gotten an oil change at one of the quick-service places on the peninsula, and they had left out a gasket/seal that caused my oil to leak. Danny called me immediately and told me to take it back to the original mechanic, but I declined and instead entrusted my vehicle to Marina Tire & Auto. They had me in and out in under two hours, the same day, and I felt much more confident driving my vehicle. ALL the staff I've ever encountered are super friendly and straightforward. Stay away from those quick-service places and go with quality. :)

It's not the dealership, but the quality to me was just as good if not better and not paying the dealership prices. Our vehicle runs smoothly now thanks to these guys troubleshooting. Would definitely recommend.

I met with the seller of my vehicle at Aaliyah's Auto Shop for a pre-inspection. During the…read moreinspection, the owner, Jesse, informed me that my vehicle had a "very small" water pump leak and that the coolant level was low. He stated that he topped off the coolant with fluid and showed my husband a picture; however, the picture he showed was only of the coolant, not of an actual water pump leak. At no point was I shown a picture or physical evidence of a leak itself. Due to the stress of the transaction and being surprised by this diagnosis--especially since I regularly maintain my vehicle every three months--I did not ask to personally see the alleged leak at that time. Jesse also stated that the vehicle needed new brake pads because they were due for replacement. A few days later, I contacted Jesse to request a photo of the water pump leak. He then informed me that he did not have any photo of a leak--only a photo of the coolant. He went on to say that the car was otherwise "perfect," drove great, and that the only issues were the need for new breaks and a new water pump. Because of these inconsistent statements, I took it upon myself to have the vehicle inspected at a Honda dealership while also completing an oil change. The certified Honda mechanics did not find any water pump or coolant leaks (please see attached video). Additionally, they confirmed that the brakes were at approximately 50% life remaining and did not require immediate replacement. Based on these findings, I am deeply concerned about the accuracy and integrity of the inspection performed at Aaliyah's Auto Shop. It appeared that unnecessary repairs were recommended without sufficient evidence. Jesse also emphasized that his shop was the cheapest in town and that he offers the best prices, which further raised concerns that the diagnosis may have been influenced by sales motives rather than factual mechanical issues. I believe this experience demonstrates a lack of transparency and reliability. I strongly encourage anyone seeking a pre-purchase inspection to consider using a trustworthy and reputable mechanic or dealership service center to avoid receiving misleading or inaccurate information.

I had appointment. When I arrived, the first staff member flatly told me they couldn't do it. Conflicting Information: A second worker stepped in and told me to park in a specific spot, promising I would be the "next car." Instead, I sat there and watched them take multiple other vehicles ahead of me. When I politely asked for an update, the first employee explained that other cars take more time. I said ok. then the other person who said was the boss started an argument with me, condescendingly saying, "You're in a hurry!" as if expecting them to honor my appointment and their own word was unreasonable. The level of communication here is non-existent, and the staff's attitude is combative. If you don't want to waste your afternoon being lied to and then insulted for noticing, go somewhere else. A smog check takes 15 minutes; there's no reason for it to come with this much drama.
