He is honest, fair, and consistently provides high-quality service and repairs. In an industry where it can sometimes be difficult to know whether a recommended repair or service is truly necessary, Steve stands out for his integrity. He takes the time to explain what needs to be done, never recommends unnecessary work, and charges a fair price. His knowledge and expertise with Japanese cars are outstanding. A couple of years ago, when it was time to buy a car for my 17-year-old daughter, one of the first things we did was ask Steve what he would recommend. We trusted his advice and ultimately purchased a car based on his recommendation. After many years as a customer, I can confidently recommend Steve to anyone looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and highly skilled automotive professional.

I used to have to drive across the bay to come here, but have since moved to the area - so: pretty…read moresweet perk for me. I have only met Scott a couple of times - instantly likeable, instantly interested in the car, issue, situation, etc. and clearly knowledgeable...but I can't tell you much beyond that. The reason I haven't dealt much with Scott has nothing to do with Scott. But, when I take my car to MM - I deal directly with their head mechanic Mark. This is because ~20+ years ago (hmm...maybe even more), I asked for a referral from gryphon moterwerke (g-werke dot com) in Berkeley for the 'best mechanic they knew of in the bay area' who might be able to get the work I needed done (minus the HEFTY price tag that tends to come with most Gryphon estimates) - Without hesitation, or even a moments consideration - almost with the affect of someone rattling off any known, irrefutable fact ... eg: 'cars have engines'. They told me 'Mark at Marin Motorsports'. At the time, I lived in Berkeley so that seemed a bit far - so I asked them if they had any suggestions closer, the answer was a hard 'No.' Awkward silence (well awkward for me anyway), - 'the only person I know of who will do the same quality work that we do here is Mark in Marin.' I was more than a little stunned by the answer - expecting at least a couple of follow up places - perhaps with caveats like 'Try XYZMotors, I hear they are good - but I dont know how trustworthy they are' OR SOMETHING. So, now I was sufficiently intrigued and I gave Mark a call and sure enough, he knew every nuance of every description I gave him of each item (salt & pepped with questions here and there). Then he told me what he thought the issue was, but obv he would need to take a look first, etc. I finally got my car out to Marin and he popped the hood, pushed here, adjusted there and gave the exact diagnosis that he had given over the phone. It was pretty impressive. Then, top it off by the fact that the cost of all of the work was almost exactly 35% of what Gryphon was going to charge to do the same. . . well ... I was sold. I have never taken another car anywhere else and never will. This is the only place to EVEN CONSIDER taking your VW or Audi (I say VW/Audi because these are the only two types of cars I have PERSONALLY ever taken there - but pretty damn sure any German car would be identically treated). Currently, I have an Audi S5 and he not only is everything I described above ... right before I leave the shop, I always ask the same question: 'given that i drive in 'XYZ' manner, what should I keep my eye on as a potential next repair / issue. He always lets me know what he thinks the next couple of issues will be and when(ish) I might start to see an issue. Never, one time, has he been wrong. Reading this review back to myself, I get that it sounds like an infomercial for Marin Motorsports - believe me it is not. You will NEVER find a more capable, honest, friendly shop - AND THEN to top it all off with a little cherry on top - it also ends up being the most affordable option!!! (every once in a while - mostly for fun at this point), I have had work done by MM and afterwards called one or two 'highly rated' shops in the area to find out what they would charge me for the list of items on my receipt. I have NEVER found a lower estimate (but did get one or two within $50 ... which in auto repair I more or less consider a 'tie').

The mechanic you always dreamed of finding…read more I can't stress enough how much relief I feel, knowing that there is a shop I could take my car to with full confidence that my best interests will always be held as a priority. I took my car in years ago and was so impressed with their honesty, integrity, and quality that I had my entire family switch mechanics for the first time in decades. Not only do they not overcharge you, but they go out of their way to ensure you are aware that more affordable solutions can be possible or that no work may be required at all. In a world where you're unsure whether or not your mechanic is pulling a fast one on you, you can finally put your guard down at Northgate Automotive. The appreciation I have for how they operate runs so deep that when I realized I hadn't already written a five star review, I came back years later to ensure I gave them their flowers. If are this deep in the reviews, trying to find evidence of an Auto Shop that will treat you with respect and dignity, circle this review with the red pen. Once you find the right mechanic, you never look back.

On examination (pressure test) it was determined that the coolant cap (they had checked the coolant) was likely old and not sealing well. They replaced the cap at their cost. No more leaks. I was impressed with their commitment to their custmers, honesty and highly recommend them.
