Dropped of the car and was given a quote for diagnostics to be done. That afternoon they sent me an estimate an by the next day had ordered and installed the parts. Car seems to be running great only downside is 180$ as a standard diagnostic seem a bit high. But apart from that everything was exceptional. read more

My car was having an issue starting up. It was a Saturday and most places were closed. I googled auto repair businesses open on a Saturday. I called a couple places but they were to busy. When I called Green machine and explained my issue. They told me to bring it in. They found that my battery was failing the test. They ordered the battery, installed it within an hour. What a relief. A little expensive but, I was back on the road. Thank you read more

Scam, don't come here if you don't know anything about Cars, up-charging for oil changes. Cost 108 dollars and after complaining got it dropped to 91. read more

I'm so grateful for the guys at Green Machine! Before going to them, I took my car to another business in the area because of one issue. Now, I drive an older car. She's well maintained, but things naturally wear out. However, these guys quoted me nearly 8k in repairs! My car isn't even worth half that on the market. Naturally, I panicked. Thankfully, some family told me to get a second opinion, and that was ended up being green machine. First off, these folks are honest. I told the fellow at the front desk what I was told by the his competitor, and he told me they would double check these issues. Ultimately, the issues they found weren't anywhere near what the other shop told me. Even better, he was upfront with what issues needed addressing immediately, and what could wait. I had already spent so much on this car, so I was really grateful for this. Not only that, but the costs of repairs were cheaper scummy business I went to before! I don't live in the area, so I cannot make them my go to mechanic. But I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone who lives nearby. read more

RUN AWAY FROM THIS OLACE DONT WALK! Drove my car in because the fuel filter bracket was broken the fuel filter was dragging on the floor I told them what the problem was when I came in that's what it turned out to be. Upon picking up my car four days later for something that should've probably taken one day I go to pay the bill and my initial $120 that they charge to see if any thing is wrong with the car is not applied to the cost of the repair. Now I've been to many mechanics in my life and the cost of the initial diagnosis is usually applied to the final cost of the bill in this case that didn't happen. While talking to the technician he informed me that they had accidentally broken to fuel filters while trying to secure the new one in place I asked was I being charged for this and he said no let's $661 later I believe I got charged. read more

This place is an absolute gem. I was having some serious issues with my car and, being new in town, I had no idea who I could trust with my vehicle. Based on the other reviews here, I decided to go with Green Machine. Not only did they take my car within the hour that I called them, but they were quick to diagnose the main issues and did proper testing before fixing anything to make sure I wasn't paying for anything I didn't need. Everyone at the shop was so friendly and respectful. I never got the sense that I was being talked down to or taken advantage of. They thoroughly explained how the various systems worked to be so that I could better understand how to take care of my car in the future. These guys hold themselves to an extremely high standard of competency and integrity. Their pricing is fair and you'll only get the services you need. I will only be using them from now on. read more

Quick, great service on 2 older family cars. Will be taking my car there for routine maintenance as well.

If she could I would give them 10 stars! Such a great and professional service. If you are traveling and need a quick fix this is your spot! They will take care of your needs. read more

Today, 12/27/21, I brought my car to Green Machine. This was my third time to visit them in about three years. They did a great job and fixed my car quickly. I'm 100% satisfied and as I have said before, I will recommend them to all my friends. David Stadille read more

We were travelling to Monterey and the car broke down. It was Memorial Day weekend and the only garage open within a short drive on Memorial Day was Green Machine Automotive. They were prompt in calling me back with a diagnosis and worked to get us back on the road as soon as possible. read more

I needed an oil change. Bad. Last minute. The young lady at the desk was super sweet and helpful. They took care of me quickly without appointment. Impressed read more

Again Sabino and Miguel provided top quality service, on time and on the quoted price. My Murano needed a new exhaust manifold and Sabino beat the price of the dealership down the street by 40%. He and his mechanic Miguel replaced the front axle on our other, older Nissan and it runs like new. As it happens the business was sold but the new owners smartly kept master mechanic Sabino and his key crew. It's a small shop but the two mechanics make the very most of the space. read more

Green Machine Automotive - Sabino Doesn't Miss A Thing - Auto Repair Near Me - Seaside, California

I had some unexpected car trouble on a Saturday while traveling and the folks at Green Machine Automotive were extremely helpful and accommodating. They got my car up and running quickly and at a very reasonable price. I appreciated their professionalism and clear communication! read more

We have always brought our vehicles to Sabino and have recommended him to friends and family. He is honest, professional and does a terrific job. Completely trustworthy! read more

Very pleased with all the hard work from the guys at the shop. I needed major work done (engine problems) on my 2006 Dodge Charger. Green Machine Automotive in Seaside was recommended to me by a family member. I couldn't have chosen a better place. Trustworthy and honest place and people. Andre was very attentive and informative when it came to listening to my concerns and explaining his diagnose. Stayed in communication with me thru the whole repair. Thank you to Sabino for lending a helping hand. The guy at the front, Ernesto, was friendly and able to explain the invoice upon my request. The repair was completed in a timely manner. Will definitely continue on bringing my vehicle to Green Machine Automotive for any future repairs/ preventative care. Thank you for all the hard work, greatly appreciated. read more

Great service, fast, welcoming atmosphere for customers . They are honest and up front with you.

Sabino, Alex and the crew here are amazing. We were briefly adrift after our last mechanic retired (the people who bought the business were not as good) but are so happy to have found Green Machine. We have gotten lots of work done here (brakes, belts, oil changes, A/C repaired), and taken two cars in for pre-purchase inspections. All the work has been flawless. In both pre-purchase inspections Sabino gave us great advice regarding any repairs we'd need to make and how much we should realistically pay for the car. I would not buy a private party car without taking it to them and my whole family uses them for all our repairs and maintenance on our older cars. Oil changes here are less expensive than Jiffy Lube and without the pressure to change your air filter. Cannot emphasize enough how great this business is! They also know how to handle hybrids which is great for our old 2001 Prius and once the service warranty expires on my 2014 one it will be going to them too. read more

The service at this shop is GREAT, I will not go anywhere else from now on! Prices are very reasonable and they didn't try to sell me products or services I didn't need. But they did inform me of maintenance items that I should think about, but no pressure to do any of it there! This is a one of a kind auto repair shop with honest, efficient, friendly workers that will not up the price and lie to you about your car issues (even if your a girl)! I read more

Where do I start, took car in for service and went all bad from there. Came to pick car up keep saying it was not ready, car end up being in there for five months because the owner was driving it around, and acting like needs more parts. Car got broken into, found drug needles, weed, panties that was in there. The personal look like there on drugs and even when the cop came out he knew the guy at the front and said he has a past criminal history. They changed the invoices to make it look like we owed more than what it really was. It goes on and on. I wish I was exaggerating but I'm not. Take your car to someone who cars and it's it the Green machine read more

I love this place! Sabino is very knowledgeable! Great job on my 2010 Audi A4, he replaced my break pads. Awesome job

Los mecanicos son chingones lo unico malo que Sabino le va al America !! The mechanics are on top of everything fast service and very convenient location.I will take my car every time it needs it . read more

Green Machine Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Seaside, California

Found Green Machine Automotive on recommendations from two different gas station owners in Monterey and Seaside Ca.. New to the area, lost as to where to take my car when all the dash board lit up like fireworks! Check engine, VSK, all warning lights went on at once. I bought the Toyota Sienna van 14 yrs. ago. Best vehicle I ever owned, Runs, looks like new. I drive in and immediately Sabino is assuring me, no problem. Engine light triggered all lights to on. I had driven way too long with engine light on. It finally gave me it's full on wake up call to have it serviced. Sabino and his safely masked staff had it fixed, serviced and on the road in 30 min. with a nice surprise, a VERY REASONABLE price! Lesson learned. Listen when my vehicle speaks! Green Machine mechanics are experienced experts making this my new care destination. THANKS Sabino, Miguel, and all at Green Machine. You made my day! Gratefully, Noe K. read more

I took my car for a problem with the clutch it was not holding the pressure. They left it the same and ruined my alternater and made my car heat up . Its sad to see what people do to get more money from you, im never going here again and dont recomend anyone to trust them. read more

Honest and straightforward about the work, fast but thorough. This place is officially vouched-for by me for auto repair.

Their website says they service Smart cars, and I was referred here by someone who woks at O'Reilly but when I called I was told they do not service Smart cars. :( read more

I took my 1987 Pontiac Firebird to the Green Machine to have my motor replaced and I had a three year warranty. Before my three year warranty was up I was starting to have car problems. I took my car to the Green Machine 3 different times to have Sabino look at my car. I told him the car was acting funny and that the car was not picking up speed like it should and when I put car into reverse the car sounded like it wanted to die, and I also told Sabino my check engine light was on. Sabino told me he would look at car. When I went to pick up car he told me there was nothing wrong and that my car is an old car. I told Sabino but my car should pick up speed and that shity Hondas are faster than my car. Sabino laughed and said, "What, you want to go fast?" I told him the car isn't running right and I think it is the motor, but sabino kept telling me my car was fine and the motor is fine. I asked him about my check engine light and he told me it might be on because a senor might be reading wrong causing the check engine light to be on. Anyways, long story short I became tired of Sabinos bullshit and I took my car to Natalie's Automotive in Monterey on Del Monte Ave and the owner Joe told me it was my motor and I only had 5 cylinders firing. Joe told me I need to take the car back to the Green Machine because they need to fix it. I went to the Green Machine and told them and they said they were not going to fix my car because the warranty was made by the previous owner. I told the man at the counter, "The man who wrote me the warranty is Sabino and he is still working here." The Green Machine did't care. My warranty was not going to be honored and I wasted $1,500 on a motor that is garbage. Thank you Sabino for taking advantage of me and ripping me off. The car belonged to my mom and it means a lot to me and you knew that Sabino but you still have the nerve to not stand by YOUR warranty. Everyone save yourself the time and energy and get the job done right the first time and go to Natalie's. read more

We were on vacation and needed a simple, QUICK repair before heading home which was a 3 hour drive! They got us in within an hour and did a great job! Very courteous staff also! Its a tiny little shop and they took good care of us! read more

What I received from Green Machine was courteous professional service. These guys take honesty to the next level though... I had just purchased a 92 Camry that wasn't able to pass smog. Savino, Marlene, Alex and Ale, were doing a favor for their cousin whom I purchased the car from. The favor was fix what it needs to smog. We thought it was just the EGR valve, maybe the ECM. It was much more than that. By the time they fixed one thing another went bad and on it went for a bit. They found that the new ECM the seller and I just purchased was defective, sent it out, got it back in, fixed the valve cover gaskets, made it to were I can open the doors without having to bust a Dukes of Hazard" move. They replaced my EGR valve, my thermostat, and so much I can't remember. One thing these guys knew was that I lived on a strict budget so the day my car was finished I took the bus and paid them only 60 dollars of the very very modest amount I owed. The next day, I was checking my accounts online and making sure I paid all my bills. I notice a credit from Green Machine for that very 60.00 dollar payment I made them. Really?! You guys took my little clunker and made it drive like a brand new car, and you give me my money back? Another business would have been charging me storage fees. Thank you so very much! My family appreciates your help. You didn't treat me like a customer, you treated me like family. I will recommend you to everyone I know and tell them that you aren't in the business for that all mighty dollar. You really care about your community and bring a new meaning to "Social Responsibility". @Heather I looked for Green Machine's website, I didn't find it and figured they didn't have one. Please share that link. :) I don't think you should give a business 1 measly star because you were misinformed. That 1 star belongs to the O'Relly store that mis-informed you. read more

Just picked up my 2005 Prius that needed new headlight ballasts and bulbs. From my reading this is a common problem for this vehicle. Sabino and his crew knew exactly what was going on when I explained my problem and suggested we try the lower coast option of trying to change just the bulbs. I really appreciated that they did not jump on the expensive option right out of the gate, but I had been reading about the issue and had observed the obvious signs of a dying ballast. I need my car and I knew that even though they were going to try to get me by with the new headlight bulbs, that the real problem if not today but tomorrow would result in me needing new ballasts. They installed new ballasts and new bulbs in a very efficient fashion and were even nice enough to deglaze my headlight lenses, at no additional charge,so they look like brand new. When I drove my car tonight I could see the road clearly like I had not seen it in a long long time. A great job, a happy customer, and now I want you all to know of the solution to the problems with your car. Happy customer I am. read more

Sabino and crew seem great. Open, not afraid to talk quotes. So far I am very impressed. I have found my new mechanic.

Great place place to take your car to get fixed. Fixed my car in under 30 minutes and did a fantastic job. Very affordable.

I give this place 4 1/2 stars! So far I have received great service at this auto shop. They take time to talk to you about what's going on with your car. It's easy to make appointments with them and the prices were very fair. Only difficulty I've had was getting someone on the phone! I will bring my car here in the future for any repair work I need done. read more

Efficient, friendly, honest. Having a mechanic I can trust is one of the few essentials in getting by in this life, and I'm glad to know these folks. read more

WARNING: DON'T GO! Worst experience EVER!! I had been a happy client for over 5 years and even through the change of ownership which has proven to be the worst thing ever for this once wonderful repair place. They do NOT stand by their work and in fact broke a safety part on my car and ripped the interior and pathetically enough have given me the run around about fixing it for almost 9 months and now won't fix it! To add insult to injury the last repair they did took them months to complete and they kept giving me a variety of excuses for the delays and errors, while I had to pay hundreds literally close to $1k in additional needless transportation costs because of their incompetence! This is atrocious and the worst experience I have ever had. Please save yourself the headache and money since frankly they can't even accurately repair basic things anymore since they let the original staff go. Avoid, Avoid, Avoid, like the plague, AVOID! read more

What I can I said after red all those nice comments about green machine. Yes they are niceThey make you feel welcome. But they can't get the job done. After 2 months I still waiting for my car. With out any doubt. they are far from satisfactory service. read more
