Mario helped get me a set up with a new clutch on my Honda Accord! After the Honda dealership tried to take advantage of me... It's nice to find a reputable mechanic out in this neck of the woods! And that's coming from a mechanic from a different trade I will definitely be back read more

Mario is the best. Honest, thorough, and never upsells. In fact, he never sells. He just fixes, at the most reasonable price, suggesting nothing more than what you need. I always take my car here. read more

These folks analyzed a problem (rattling) which, as it turned out, was simply an air filter that had not been properly installed by the guys who changed my oil. The mechanic actually picked me up at my house to listen to the rattle which had disappeared. Then told me "no charge" They are my new heroes. read more

Every time I come here I am treated with respect and good manners. They always do thorough work on all my cars, and I recommend them to everyone who asks me if I know a good mechanic around! Every time I drop by they give me honest opinions (which vary from others around town) and I sincerely trust they give me reasonable estimates and wait times. Highly recommend this shop to everyone, I stand by my words! Mario is a genuine character, and if he isn't there his team is just the same! If I could give a six star rating... I'd do it without hesitation! read more

I had low air pressure in all four of my tires (warning light was dinging) and spent time at a gas station up the street trying to put air in myself. Not sure if the machine was not working or I just couldn't get a seal because the gauge was old or beaten up but I ended up lowering the PSI in my tires even more! At someone's suggestion, I dropped in El Verano and the man was so nice. He took the time right then to put air in all of my tires at no charge, didn't accept a tip. The air was so low I was afraid driving much further -- he genuinely saved my day. read more

El Verano Auto Repair - El Verano sign with their phone number (707) 996-1146 - Auto Repair Near Me - Sonoma, California

Car broke down Friday during rush hour. Didn't think I'd be able to find anyone to help us out after hours or over the weekend but not only did they pick up the phone after hours they even squeezed us in the very next morning to get us going again. Pricing seemed very fair for what we needed to get done. read more

Due to new owners at my old auto place, I was looking for a new mechanic and I found El Verano Auto Repair. I'm usually a negative posting person but today I have to give praise to these guys. The last visit was due to a warning light that recommended a replace of a exhaust valve. They recommended a catalytic converter cleaner first to see if we could avoid the cost. And yes, it worked. Truly partners for my older ford fusion which will need help but I feel that I can keep it a few more years now with these guys around. read more

Mario and Julio have consistently taken care of our vehicles. This review is greatly overdue. They have knowledge and more importantly integrity. They have been VERY fair and thoughtful to our family and extended family with several vehicle repairs. I would trust them with anything. Knowing they will stand by their work. They always give a "heads up" before work begins and will readily tell you if you can hold off on work. Once, I accidentally left my credit card with them - they called. It took me easily two weeks to go pick it up. Probably more. I never worried. I trust them completely. Fortunate to be a customer of such a fine establishment ! Thank you, Mario! read more

These guys are great! Mario was very accommodating and helped fix up our car easy peasy

Took my older car to have the CV axle installed. They were great, extremely reasonable and were able to pencil my appt. with very short notice. As I drove away, there was a odd noise coming from the wheel. I immediately called the shop and Mario (owner) asked me to drive it back. They made it all better and I was back on the road in no time. Thank you guys! 2 thumbs up! read more

Julio is the best. GreAt, knowledgeable, and honest mechanics here. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Love these guys. Mario and Julio, in particular. I've had a great experience...

Mario, the owner, managed to help repair my older truck and made sure I didn't have to pay for repairs that are not necessary. Mario is honest, hardworking, and incredibly reasonably priced compared to his competitors. When I arrived at his garage for a second opinion on a transmission problem, Mario took the time to run a full evaluation and informed me that I did not need a new transmission,but rather a flush. In addition, after he completed his work, Mario followed up with me to make sure everything was okay with the truck. I highly recommend El Verano auto repair if you have any minor or major car problems. Mario is one of the few professionals who is honest about the quality of his garage's work, and genuinely nice! read more

Mario and Julio are fantastic. I have an 18 year old VW Passat that developed electrical problems after flooding. They found and fixed the cause of the leaks, spent time looking for a replacement part that wouldn't break the bank and were endlessly patient. The car is now fixed and the amount it cost, considering the time spent in finding and fixing the problem, was extremely fair. They are my heros. read more

I took my car for service and, for me, it cost many $$$$. However, the car runs fine now. I can stop by and ask them questions and they always have a friendly approach and answer. Dependable, trustworthy and honest service with a pleasant approach. read more

Without a doubt the best place in Sonoma to go for auto repair. Mario is a genius mechanic. Vw passat, Honda pilot, Toyota Tacoma, Subaru... You name it, he can fix it. Not only is he a genius mechanic, but he is honest and affordable. read more
