If there's one thing that gives me anxiety. . . It's taking my car to the mechanic when something's wrong. I always get iffy about the places I take it to, having had some off putting experiences. . . But then I found Larsen Auto Care. I've been going there for years and won't go anyplace else. Staff there are super friendly, and I feel comfortable they know what they're doing. Everything's done in a timely manner, and if you got to leave your car there then they have loaner cars available (a limited amount ). The office is small and cosy with a collection of hats rimming around the wall. All in all I've found my go- to place, and happy to have a trustworthy and helpful staff working on my car! read more

The guys at Larsen's are ever helpful and always treat me as if I am their best customer, which I am not. I have been servicing my old 2012 Volvo there for many years, and have always been extremely happy with the service! Thank you, I will always recommend you to anyone who is looking for an Auto Repair Shop! read more

Really like this shop, friendly, qualified mechanics and excellent service. I take both my cars here and recommend them to all my family and friends. read more

Larsens is a great auto care shop. Courteous, efficient, competent, professional, reasonably priced. Friendly atmosphere. Very happy taking my 2017 Volvo there. read more

I cannot recommend Larsens Auto Care. I paid very near $ 3,000. for a complete brake job including the emergency brake. They said the wheel hub assembly (parts) for the front alone was $668. I looked up the job as they described on Chilton and I paid at least $ 500. over what I should have. I won't go back to them. read more

These guys are great. Knowledgable, honest, kind, communicative and professional. We will be bringing all of our cars to Larsen Auto Care from now on! read more

I brought my 20-year-old car here based on another mechanic's recommendation. Making an appointment was easy; they checked everything out and diagnosed and repaired the problem (along with a couple of other issues previous mechanics hadn't noticed). Thus far, it seems like they fixed things! I'll know for sure when I pass the smog test. The final price turned out to be quite a bit lower than the initial estimate, which made me happy. If I had to make one suggestion it would be to return phone calls the same day a customer calls to get an update. I understand they're busy, and everything worked out so all things considered it was a great experience. read more

Excellent communication, thoughtful care of my car and inspection, reasonable pricing and no pressure to make an appt... but I certainly will. read more

My daughters vehicle has been repaired here a couple of times. They are honest and very friendly. That's hard to come by these days. Thanks so much!!! read more

Great service. Staff was really attentive. I had a minor issue that they were able to fix it quickly right in front of me. Very transparent and trustworthy. Strongly recommend. read more

Larsen's has done work on my car, my husband's car, and my mom's car. They're always fair, timely, and very helpful. Great staff and team!

Great folks to work with. Got me in quickly and didn't try to sell me a bunch of stuff I didn't need. Very reasonable price for the services. I will definitely use them again. read more

Years ago I'd been having problems with the parking break on an old Camry ever since I'd had work done at (what I learned the hard way) was a not-so-great auto shop. I then went to two other shops over several years, and no one was able to figure out the problem. Then I found Ron Larsen! My main complaint: ever since this other shop's work, the parking break, "just didn't feel right". I've done computer support for years, so I know how difficult it can be to trouble shoot a problem, even more so when the customer can't really describe the problem in a way that gives you many clues. But, my vague complaint did not deter Ron and his team. They listened to me, believed that there was a real problem, and trusted that I knew what I was talking about. They tested the parking break with me, asked me what it used to "feel like" before it was a problem. Then they gave me a very reasonable estimate for the diagnosis and took the car to work on it. Then they called, they had figured out the problem. Someone (gee, I wonder who) had installed the wrong parking break cable. It would cost another reasonable amount for a new cable and another day because they had to order it. The next day my car was ready, and the cost was exactly what they had given me in the estimate + the phone call. But the best part: my parking break was "stiff", they way I expected it to feel. I have now been a loyal customer of Larsen Auto Care for many years. I have never been over-charged from the estimates; they have always listened carefully when I've brought up problems; I have been told up front when they don't have the equipment needed to diagnose a more complex problem. I highly recommend Larsen Auto Care to anyone who is looking for a mechanic. read more

In short: A business that welcomes you like family and does fantastic work. Prices are fair and they really do their best to accommodate budget and scheduling needs. 12/10, highly recommend to absolutely everyone! Longer version: In 2013, I bought a 1999 Subaru Outback from some friendly folks on craigslist. She had low miles but I knew that, to keep her in fighting shape, she would need regular TLC from a trusted mechanic. Enter Larsen Auto Care. The last few years, I've brought my "baby" to Larsen for an A/C refresh, oil changes, 120k mile service, help with a strange "clicking noise," help changing headlight bulbs, timing belt replacements, smog check, and swapping out a funky windshield wiper jet. Each time, I was treated with care and respect with Ron and Marsha remembering me (and my car) whenever I called. When I was rushing to get an oil change before a long trip, they were able to squeeze me in with only a few day's notice. When I needed a loaner car, they happily provided. I was never once "up sold" or talked into getting something I didn't need or want. If they couldn't fix something (i.e. strange clicking noise that mysteriously disappeared on test drive), they would say so. I get the feeling that honesty like this isn't typical with many businesses, especially mechanics, making this an extra-special find. If you're in the market for a mechanic, I recommend the fine folks at Larsen Auto for just about anything. Thanks guys, for all the TLC throughout the years. read more

Misleading company , that does not change tires, when their website says " immediately" and can't service the request , you and triple aaa and yarbrough towing are the worst . Hire more people instead of having only 3 employees . Horrible ! Don't come here . read more

I haven't written a Yelp review in years, but am compelled to do so this morning. I'm a new customer to Larsen Auto Care - today I picked my car up after being worked on for the second time in about four months. I can honestly say that I am blown away. For sure, they are professional, courteous and friendly when you come through the door. But more than these essential attributes to a great business, they go the extra mile to make sure the customer is happy. This is old school, small town, neighborly service like you just don't find any more. I will continue to bring my car here in the future. read more

My check engine light came on in my Volvo. Hadn't been to Larsen's since 2017 when I had my brakes done. And I hadn't kept up on my car's maintenance, I know, my bad. I was still in their system! Matt got me in quick, listened to me explain the main issue and went over my "wish list" of other issues needing repairs. Matt called me the next day with the good news that my car was in great condition overall AND they found the problem to the main reason that brought me in. They repaired that, changed the oil and replaced a couple filters and they didn't pressure me to authorize the other work, but instead helped me prioritize them. They we're fast, kind, friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. I knew I loved these guys for a reason. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND LARSEN'S. You won't be disappointed. read more

Larsen's is my whole family's go-to auto care shop. We've been going here for years and for a good reason: they are fantastic. Ron is kind and welcoming yet straight to the point and efficient. I took my car in for a diagnostic test and he let me know I needed new breaks, a new radiator and new suspensions. As I was preparing to leave the country in a few short days and he said I could wait until I returned to get those necessary fixes. After I left that day I had multiple people let me know that suspension replacements are very pricey and not always super necessary. So when I took it in this week I told him I wanted to do just the breaks and radiator. I made no mention of the suspensions and neither did he. They took my car for the day, sent me off with a rental car and said they would call me with the quote. The price was just about what he quoted me after the diagnostic appointment so I gave them the go ahead. I returned the next day, got my car, and was off within 10 or so minutes. I really appreciate the thoroughness and transparency Larsen's provides. Makes the experience easy and stress-free. Highly recommended Ron Larsen and his great team for your all your auto care needs! read more

Top Dogs ! Clean shop , honest not cheap$ but did it right as requested:) Car sounds like new ! Great shop /opposite of Dealer recent ordeal:( Free loaner too:) read more

2019 Update: My car and I still go to Larsen's. In fact, I bought my current car from Larsen's. We mostly go in for routine servicing. When things come up outside of regular servicing, the folks here are still friendly and helpful, doing the work that needs to be done without trying to upsell you. Through the years, other independent mechanics have retired, with many of them referring their customers to Larsen's. As a result, it may take a little longer to get an appointment to get your car in, but the service and the people make it worth the wait. read more

Sounds like a great place to get a service reading the reviews. But, they claim to sell cars and they do not have one car listed on their website. read more

The very Best!!! I have been a customer since 2015 and will always return. Chris and Ron are always helpful and honest. They go out of their way to help you. I feel safe with my car in their hands!! Thank you read more

This is the place to take your car for repair. They are trustworthy, honest, and only do what is needed. I have been bringing my cars here for years. I have never been disappointed with the work. And they stand behind their wotk. read more

I had such an amazing experience with the team over at Larsen's. My car was having a reoccurring issue with an unknown cause and I had to bring it back to them twice. They were incredibly eager to help both times and made me feel like they really cared throughout the process. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable and overall just great people. They took their time to find the issue and got it fixed at a reasonable price. Highly recommend! read more

I was referred to Larsen's by my retired former mechanic. Turned out to be an excellent, and much appreciated, referral. They were great at fixing my Miata in a timely, affordable and friendly manner. I will definitely be taking my cars there going forward and would recommend this business with confidence. read more

I had an emergency situation and they saved a mistake for my Prius . A family member drained my transmission fluid and COULD NOT REMOVE FILL PLUG TO MY TRANSMISSION. I called them and ask if they can help and they quickly helped me in and out. IM SO THANKFUL because i was freaked out I called other mechanic next door and they were gonna charge me an arm and leg but THANK YOU LARSEN auto care for UNDERSTANDING. Also gave me good ADVICE on RECOMMENDATIONS for my car read more

First Time customer. Referred by another shop. They took me in immediately and ordered parts from Napa right away. Drove out 2.5 hours later. Very clean, organized and well kept service center. Professional and pleasant staff. They even let me wait in their nice waiting room with my dog and offered biscuits for her. This is not your average repair shop. Will surely return. A very nice experience. Honest and fair pricing too. read more

Phenomenal company. Honest, accommodating and affordable. As a 27 year old woman that knows nothing about cars, I will always take my car to them bc I know they aren't going to take advantage of my car-stupidity. They truly go out of their way for their customers. ** loaner car was a major bonus! Saved me a chunk of change bc I'm so used to having to rent a car every time I take my car to the shop (Home Health clinician). read more

Professional and trustworthy. My 2007 Honda runs like new because of the care it receives at Larsen's. I highly recommend them.

Ken, service technician, at Ron Larsen Auto Care, figured out the mystery vibration in my car that my former mechanic at another shop could not. The car runs like new again! Thank you, Larsen Auto Care! Martha and Ron run a very friendly and professional shop! read more

I have been in business for 40 years Ron Larsen knows how to keep the customers happy ! I am a former Jaguar Associates Group member the Jaguar dealer no longer works on older Jags glad I found Larsens .Cris the Tech. knows his Jags. My 1997 XK8 was overheating He replaced the plastic Thermestat and the plastic water pump with metal and all hose clamps. Plus the connecting Rods in the front end . compared to the Jag dealer it was very reasonable Thanks guys Tom & Romie Brunner read more

I just took our 2nd car here. The main purpose was for a smog check, I gave it to Larsen to take care of since usually there is some fixing associated with this event. Larsen took it to the neighboring smog check station and it passed with no additional work needed. When I came to pick up the car, I was expecting to owe Larsen something, but they said "Just pay the Smog Center". They will be the next place I take my cars to be fixed. I am liking this Auto Care Place ! read more

An honest mechanic can be hard to find but my experience with Larsen's was fabulous. These guys will give it to you straight. They really helped me in a pinch, even giving me a loaner car while they worked on my car. I recommend them for auto mechanical needs and I would definitely bring my vehicle back to them. read more

These guys are awesome!!! Small town attentiveness ! They actually care about doing a good job on your vehicle! I brought my corvette in because it was making a noise and they got me in right away ! Top notch service, very friendly staff:) I would recommend them for any basic auto needs! I get my oil changed here too read more

Had to get my A/C serviced on my Honda Pilot and I took it to Larsen. This was my first time taking my vehicle there and was very impressed. They gave me a fair quote and their service was amazing. They diagnosed the problem and went above and beyond. More importantly, they were very honest and the cost was the same/ less than the initial quote. I will continue to take all my vehicles to Larsen for all my mechanical needs. If you need a honest and fair mechanic shop, I highly recommend Larsen. read more

I took my car here because it was having trouble staying running. Martha was courteous and helpful. The owner and chief mechanic Ron very easy to work with. The shop is crazy affordable and they work their tail off to be accommodating. They worked hard to provide me with good service. I would highly recommend them and will continue to give them business. read more

I recently moved from Campbell to Santa Rosa and was looking for a new mechanic. I did a Google search as I wanted to find someone that had loaner cars and a waiting room. That was how I found Larsen Auto Care! I took my older Lexus there for a check-up, oil change and new tires. I was given a free Volvo loaner car so I didn't have to rely on anyone for rides. I found Ron to be an honest mechanic....the total cost was reasonable and my car runs great. Martha is very nice, too! So, I recommend you give Larsen Auto Care a try! read more

I took my Mini here for a check engine light. The gave me the codes correctly and told me it was my fuel pump. Rather than charge me $2000 to fix it, they told me to call the dealership as it could still have been under warranty. Apparently this is a common problem with Mini. Sure enough, it was still under warranty (7yrs for fuel pump) and saved a big chunk of cash! They did not even charge my for the diagnosis. Very friendly and helpful guys! read more

I really trust and like this place. Ron is a great mechanic and does only what you need. He knows my cars Volvos and Prius's. Martha is awesome, courteous, never makes you feel annoying no matter how many times you call. Always accommodates my schedule which is unusual. Always gives me a loaner car at no charge. They always fix my car in a timely manner and communicate clearly about what is going on. I highly recommend this place. They are great and I will continue to go there when I need work on my cars. read more

We have had all three of our cars worked on at Ron Larsen's place, and have nothing but praise for the work and the service we receive, from Martha in the office to Ron and the guys. The loaner cars make life SO much easier because I don't have to rely on getting a ride home when I leave a car there. And prices are more than reasonable, even for my Jaguar, which is notorious for being expensive to fix. I could not recommend Larsen's more highly - integrity, honesty and timeliness. What's not to like? read more
