I have not been to Dan's for a repair in a while due to I live in another county and do not drive much anymore. Just want to tell everyone what great service I received from Dan & Susie for 35 or so years. I can honestly say that I miss having them work on my car. HI Dan & Susie ! read more

Susie and Dan are amazing. Dan will take the time to explain what the issue is, what needs to be done, and will even do a price break down if your trying to pay for what immediately allows you car to be road ready. I've had Dan service both our Chevy Sonic and Honda Fit. Would recommend them to anyone in the area. read more

DAN'S SUPERIOR always do EXCELLENT WORK! They are reliable, dependable, reasonable, and go the extra mile. I trust Dan's diagnosis. He pinpointed the problem on my cargo van by patiently looking for it. He just repairs parts that need repairing. Elsewhere, I have been in situations, even at dealerships, where they kept piling up parts that need fixing. After heeding their "advice," the original problem was still there. Turned out that it was just a simple fix at a tire store. Dan's Superior is not like that. He is trustworthy, and prices are reasonable. I am so glad Dan is my local mechanic now. read more

Susie and Dan and their crew provided excellent (and fast) service on our Jeep Cherokee as we travelled through the area. Their pricing is very reasonable. read more

Dan's Superior Auto Service - Smog Check Stations Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

We have taken our vehicles to Dan's before, only because a friend said he was worth it. The first time, he held our car for months and did nothing. When we finally got our car back, they made sure we didn't notice the new dent until we got home. The 2nd time we brought in a vehicle, the steering needed immediate attention. Dan claimed he drove it and told her she was wrong. We demanded that he take it out of his lot and try again. When he did, he happen to notice that the steering gearbox needed replacing. Which is what he fought us on previously. Maybe he didn't like the idea of a woman being correct. So we had the steering gearbox replaced with a "new" part. Only to find out less than a year later, from another mechanic. That the "new" gearbox needs replacing, because it was worn out and poorly reassembled. Conclusion Dan's "superior" auto is a misogynistic scam artist. We will never go back to this "mechanic" again. read more

Trustworthy, honest, reasonable rates, can't say enough good about this shop. Highly recommend.

Amazing shop, incredible customer service, affordable, honest, fair, and above all Superior! If you are looking for a shop to take your car, look no further, this is it! Highly recommend! It is hard to find places like this anymore. Such integrity. read more

For people of a certain age, relocating residences could be stressful especially if you are unfamiliar with your new 'hood. Just like you might need a new primary care doctor, you would need to find a new primary care mechanic. Let's face it; you need to exercise the same meticulous care to identify one. It took me 3 long years! Your car's health is just as important as your personal health. Hence, it stands to reason that I took my time via word of mouth recommendations and fellow yelpers' reviews to find Dan's Auto. I have been faithfully using Dan the past 5 years and I felt it's about time to spread the word. Dan' Auto is all the following: (+) I have always loved to support a local mom (Susie) and pop operation and they have now recruited their young son (Justin) into the family team. (+) Years of experience under Dan's belt speaks volumes of his expertise and knowledge. (+) Honesty, trust and integrity are genuine concerns as we too often come across the infamous sleaze-buckets and rip-offs. Dan's hourly labor rate may not be the cheapest but fair. No technical mumbo jumbos as Dan explains the problem in layman language that is easily understood by you and me. (+) Always punctual and gets the car done at the time promised. (+) Susie is always a sweetheart. She runs the office, handles the accounts and drives the extra mile to pick and return my car. She even allows installment payments should I be financially strapped based on our mutual trust. After learning about my cancer, she gifted me some Starbucks certificates out from her own pocket that she won in a raffle and kept me in her thoughts and prayers. That was certainly most heartwarming. (+) Justin is learning from his dad and is starting young. He is following dad's footsteps and is shaping up very nicely like his dad! If you live in the area, go check out Dan's Superior Auto Service. You can be assured of reliable, quality workmanship and an honest day's work. No hanky panky! Sorry, no pics...... the garage is not really a pretty sight! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!!! PLEASE READ MY REVIEW!!! If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I towed my 2004 Dodge Neon here in 2011 to replace my head and my car is a 4 cylinder. At this point, it wouldn't start anymore so I had to tow it. They told me it would take about 10 days to repair. In the end, it took about a month to get my car back. They charged me $1700 for labor and $600 for parts. Later I found out this was a complete rip off. Less than 2 years later in late 2011, my engine light was back on again. My dad's friend who is a long-time mechanic looked at my car and told me my head needed to be replaced AGAIN. I only put less than 20K miles on my car since it was repaired in 2011. Long story short, Dan's Superior Automotive (what a joke) did a really crappy job at REBUILDING the head. They didn't replace it, they rebuilt it all wrong. All 4 cylinders leaked and weren't seated properly. Dan's charged me for the head and all the parts separately (unheard of) instead of all together like normal mechanic shops do. Needless to say this time around, I paid less than half of what I paid Dan's for this to get fixed the right way and it only took a week to fix. I wish I did this the first time, but my car wouldn't start so it was easier to take it somewhere local (my dad's friend lives in the East Bay). SO PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS!! IF YOU LOVE YOUR CAR AND YOU WANT IT TO RUN RIGHT, DO NOT TAKE IT TO DAN'S CRAPPY AUTOMOTIVE! At the time I was 22, going to Sonoma State, paying my way though college and other expenses and I feel like I was taken advantage of and I want to warn everyone so this doesn't happen to you too. I wonder how many other young women they have taken advantage of. Before I took my car here, I did read the reviews on Yelp and they seemed honest and seemed like a good mechanic shop. But unfortunately for me I was the one that got a bad experience so please heed my warning! read more

I literally drove off the freeway and into this place on our way out of town on a camping trip. A cardboard box had flown out of a pickup truck into the fast lane leaving me no choice at that moment but to run right over it. Fortunately for all involved (my 6 year old was in the car) the box had a sleeping bag in it and wasn't filled with heavy solid things but the engine started making a whirring/vibrating noise a minute later. If it hadn't been for this place our camping trip may have been ruined. It wasn't quick but they were thorough in assessing what could be causing the issue explaining everything as they went and empathetic to our distress. Thanks! read more

We have brought all of our vehicles to Dan for everything from smog certificates to major repairs and pre-purchase inspections. Dan is a very good, honest and highly respected mechanic. I highly recommend him, opposed to "the other" guy over there on Martin Ave. in RP; Dan is a very good guy as well as honest. I am always confident that we are getting exactly what we need, no more and no less, every time we need his services. Please do yourself a favor: use Dan's Superior. You won't be sorry. read more

I've had a Yelp account for a while and I've never felt compelled to write out a review until my experience here! Dan and Susan not only took care of our car but they also took care of four girls on a budget with hundreds more miles to go on a big road trip. Their auto shop made up for the unpleasant experience of our car refusing to accelerate on a busy freeway. First of all, his wife was so welcoming! Which was wonderful since we knew nothing about cars or what to expect about the cost of services or parts to fix ours. Also, Dan took his time to explain thoroughly the problem until we understood, all without spouting car jargon we couldn't follow or making us feel dumb. We could tell he was honest right off the bat because he really wanted us to understand the issue and the possible solutions. Finally, he fixed the problem so fast! We didn't have to wait very long and the price he gave us was so reasonable we had to ask a couple times to make sure we heard it right. My experiences at mechanics have ranged from mediocre to bad so I was pessimistically expecting to be ripped off but it was completely the opposite, it ended up being another fun stop on our journey and they went above and beyond to make us feel better about completing our road trip. Since then I've even called to ask Dan about a random car issue just to get his advice and he doled it out freely despite not being near his shop or getting compensation, he really cares! His service is definitely superior- trust him with your car! read more

Dan and his family-owned auto repair shop is simply one of those gems of a local family business in the north bay. Combined is that pride in workmanship, integrity, and CARE for customers. You know when you can just "feel" there's a good and special bond between the whole crew? Dan's Superior Auto is that kind of operation: Family. :-) I had a misfire in my Ford truck and not only did Dan's top level diagnostic tool easily dial in exactly where and what it was (when a lesser model elsewhere couldn't), he has so many decades' of continued experience that he had a pretty good idea of the job and explained it in detail to me. Much appreciated, right? Completed ahead of schedule by squeezing me in his jammed schedule. And perfectly done, estimate was spot on and great; AND Susie his wife who is right there taking good care of us, dropped me back and picked me up .. a bit out of her way but that's Dan's Superior Auto and family -- they care enough to go out of their way and its no wonder they have such loyal customers who appreciate them so much! I met Dan through one of their longtime customers who serviced his vehicles at Dan's through his entire small business operation, decades. I bought one of this customer's cargo vans, and the deal went through Dan because the customer and wife were elderly so Dan helped them out (I"m sure he made nothing for doing the deal except probably got his invoice covered and created more goodwill!) I could see by the invoices that it was a very well kept up van by Dan of course for and just had some major work done - lucky me. It was an oldie but goodie and I asked for a bit of favor which he was just fine with. I loved the van and used it well for a few years, and upgraded a bit to my current 4WD truck. Will be bringing it back to Dan and Susie again, even though they're an hour out. I'll make it a trip and enjoy the lovely north bay again -- it'll be great to see Susie and Dan again! Thank you both again. read more

Honest shop with quality work. We've been loyal customers for over 20 years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. They have worked on both our foreign and domestic cars with equal skill. If you're looking for a new place and are in the fence, check these guys out because you won't be disappointed. read more

I recently took my 1992 Nissan pickup to Dan's when it failed the smog check. Dan was able to quickly identify the problem and got "little truck" back on the road with emissions lower than they had been in years. At the start of the job he gave me a detailed explanation of what the causes of my high emissions might be, and the steps he would take to diagnose the problem. He kept me informed as the work progressed and fixed the problem at a lower cost and in less time than I had expected. Dan exudes honesty and expertise. If you want a decaf latte in the waiting room go someplace else, but if you want an honest job done right for a fair price, see Dan. He really is superior. read more

Dan himself met me when I brought my car in at the appointed time. He went with me, listened carefully and told me what he'd do and what he'd charge. We agreed and a few hours later he called with an estimate, very well done, and explained very clearly. He gave me good advice. They got the car done faster than expected and delivered meticulous service. Courteous help all the way around. I highly recommend this company. read more

I bring all my cars to Dan's, whenever I need something. They always know what is going on and everyone I have spoken with is very knowledgable and experienced. Very nice people and great service and you know your not getting taken advantage of or any of that stuff, like some other places. Why go to the dealership and pay twice as much. read more

I brought my lexus in for some belt replacements...was quoted $125...was billed $116...excellent work...on time delivery...nice people....need I say more? Okay...my kids car lost power in my drive way of course....I instruct my son...drive to Dan's....Dan's wife drives my Son home and picks him up when job is completed...again...affordable...on time...quality work...need I say more? I can if you want...so yes repeat business....thank goodness for people in business that actually do customer service because...well heck they actually care! Yahoo for Dan's! read more

This is the most honest shop I have ever been too. No bs just bottom line. I had them do an inspection on my 02 Dodge and they told me everything was fine. Most places would try to scare you into needing to fix something. They are just honest people. They also did a repair on my vehicle and it was very affordable. I will only take my car to Dan's Superior Auto when I need service done. read more

Dan and his wife are always professional and I feel like they are honest and totally fair with quotes and suggestions for repairs. I trust these guys and would send my grandmother to them any time. read more

Dan's Superior Auto is the only place for my car to go when it needs repairs. For twenty years I have trusted Dan and his faithful crew with my automotive needs. Dan, his brother Dave and the staff are honest, hard-working, knowledgable and reliable. Their shop is the place to be if you want the best. They always come through, and tell the truth, whatever it is. I trust Dan, and you should too, with your automotive needs. read more

Dan is the man. Very honest, very reliable. Shop is a little messy but like they say, you can't tell a book by its cover. Been going to him for car repairs for years, and will continue to do so. read more

My mother a mother of 3 and grandmother of 5 had a overheating issue. She took her Saturn to Dan's Superior Auto shop. He : 1) over charged her for parts 200 for a 30 dollar thermostat. 2) he did not fix the issue after 2 weeks the car over heated on the way to Mill valley 3) he replaced parts that were working fine 4) he charged her 1200 didnt fix the issue 5) he never properly tested the car or he would have found out the issue wasnt fixed 6) After seeing the quote I called him on the price gouging and he said he would drop it to 900 but when she picked it up there was more added to her bill bringing it up to 1400. This man is despicable. To knowingly take advantage of a woman 65 years old, A mother, A grandmother. He has no screwpals no pride in his work and no Idea of how fast doing such things will get around in the 21st century. I hope this review makes you think twice and shop around before wasting your time and money at this shop. If your to be treated fair you obviously Must be a man not a Woman, Not a Mother, and Not a Grandmother. Need I say more? AMANDA C. got it right ! Dont give this schister any business!!!!!!!!! read more

Oh man Dan's saved me a lot of grief and money. My car failed the smog test (damn Pontiac) and I had to get it fixed quick. I called a bunch of places to get my thermostat fixed and a lot of places were quoting me close to $ 300. I called Dans and the guy was very friendly on the phone, gave me a very good quote and I brought my car in. The place is a little hard to find, but once there everyone was awesome. They fixed my car and even smogged it there at the cheapest rate I could find. I got my car back a few hours later and everything is fine. Thanks so much for the great fun attitude, and explaining to me what happened to my car. I would definitely recommend. read more

Very honest and reliable mechanic. Great customer service as well. I continue to bring my cars here

nice enough staff, helped me get new battery on warranty, seem honest. But mirror was SO CHEAP and expensive. Going to dealer from now on.

My "check engine" light came on and this was the first place I went to in order to get a quote for assessing it and fixing it. I know very little about cars and the man who helped me was not very helpful in explaining anything to me. After speaking with him for about 15 minutes he quoted me for nearly $300 without even explaining to me what exactly that cost would give me or knowing what the issue was with my car. I felt that I could find a cheaper price, and even if I couldn't, I'm not one to go with the first place I visit before at least comparing places, so I thanked him for his time and left. As I was leaving he said, "Thanks for the waste of time!" After the disrespectful comment and lack of explanation, I don't feel very welcome there and don't plan on returning. read more

I've lived in the area for over 55 years and Been going to Dan's for over 25 years. He is always great with customers and extremely knowledgeable. Suzy does a great job running the office, answering phones and giving rides to the customers. Its great to see his son Justin working in the shop, following in his fathers foot steps. Love supporting a local family run business read more

I don't care what anyone says, Dan's Superior is Superior over anyone else. He is thorough, knows what he is doing and more honest then most family members are. He has been working on all of my 5 vehicles (motor home, classic car and 3 daily drivers) for many years. read more

I'm from out of town and needed to get in somewhere quick to get my car fixed. Dan was extremely nice and helpful and even went out of his way to get in touch with a towing company that could arrive quickly in order to get my car in the shop. As soon as I arrived, they took my car in immediately and had me in and out in no time. I highly recommend them for any service. read more

Hi, I want to let you know how Danny took care of my HENWAY. when it was returned all the feathers were to factory fresh spec's and smelled nice. They do the best work. Even Dirty Kirty. Good luck, read more

Nice job! Had some engine noise, and a engine light on. They were professional and explained everything to me and diagnosed the issues properly. He even gave me a break on the labor because of multiple items being fixed. I was surprised they had it done the same day. I had bad experiences with other large box car shops in Rohnert Park, so I tried Dan's Superior Auto, and am glad I did. I will definitely use them again in the future. read more
