This hidden gem in the Canal area was a recommendation of my neighbor. Now it doesn't look like much, it's your standard old school repair garage. They service BMW and mini's hence our interest. Very reasonable and accommodating, they did a fluid service on the M3 and after a few reset runs (you get it if you have an older bimmer) smog. Hamid took great care of us and the M3 ! read more

Great find from a friends recommendation and saved me from having to go to the BMW dealership. Took care of brake pads and then a few other things they noticed. Best of all I didn't get robbed on the labor like the dealerships charge. read more

Honest , knowledgeable people and reasonable price. Thank you for your service. I appreciate your hard work and your integrity.

I bought my car directly from the owner "KJ" in 2017. I have never had my car serviced anywhere but here. He & his brother Hamid both run the shop. I have listened to other customers have the same honest & thorough experience as mine for the last 7 years. Highly recommend! read more

They've always taken care of my cars on time and with a fair deal. Great group of people

The experience and knowledge you receive from the team are second to none. I have them handle all maintenance and repairs. They are very trustworthy, have no up-selling, and, more importantly, they also do custom modifications and upgrades on all my cars. They are very fair when it comes to pricing, and they stand behind the work. read more

One Saturday, I was hunting high and low for a place that was open and reliable. I found a few on Yelp and Yellow pages, but most were closed. The one that were open had so so reputation. I called a few dealers and one recommended this place (which is usually a good sign since dealers don't want to deal with problematic repair shops). Called, got an appointment, and 3-4 hrs later my car was fixed (window wasn't coming up/down anymore) I'd recommend this place for fast, reasonable service and open on Saturday! read more

Honest car repair at honest prices. what else needs to be said? OK, fine. I've only been here twice and both times I was not in a hurry for a repair. Both times the car was fixed properly and at a reasonable price compared to the stealership routine. I have a VW TDI Diesel and not everyone can work on those as they are different in many ways. MCC came recommended and did a very good job both times on diesel specific fixes. I'll return here. read more

Super friendly and professional service. Good people run this place. read more

Marin Car Clinic - Auto Repair Near Me - San Rafael, California

Professionals who know their business well, loved by their customers for quality service. My family and I have come here for years, and will happily continue to do so for many more. read more

I been taking my company cars and trucks to this place for service, great quality of work with most reasonable prices.

There was a very good comment about HONESTY. 100% agree with that. I service my car with Marin Car Clinic since 2004 when I lived in San Francisco. Now I moved to Santa Clara for a new job. I still drive to San Rafael (65mi) if I need an advice that I can trust. This is the only place where I can be sure to get an honest estimate and to hear not only the professional (true professional) opinion, but also which work is absolutely necessary, and which can wait for some time if my budget is limited. Any other places I have been to would tell you anything to increase the scope of work and the more they can convince you to do on your car, the better for their business. Kurosh and Hamid from Marin Car Clinic would never do that to you. They care, they value their customers, treat everyone with honesty and respect and take pride in their job! read more

Marin Car Clinic was a recommendation from my friend in the new car business. My experiences have been honest, reliable, and affordable. This is a place where they listen to the customer. I am driving in from San Francisco to here from now on. read more

This guy was my saving grace, when I thought there was no hope and I should just shoot my car and put it out of its misery. My 1991 Mazda Miata was about to go out to pasture when it broke down, and I was told it was the engine. The last "tire kicker" that came to look at her pissed me off so much that I had the car towed down to this shop to get another honest opinion. As it turns out, the car only needed an AC Compressor & $350 later, my car is back on the road! I almost gave up, and spent way too much buying something new. These guys are HONEST, and very kind. I would highly recommend them to any of my friends and family. read more

I've been very impressed every time I have taken our cars to Marin Car Clinic. They seem honest, knowledgeable, provide good communication, and prices are fair. And they have provided timely service in an emergency situation. read more

Honest and so Reasonable! I used to use Marin car clinic in the past, but completely had forgotten about them. The owners are super sweet and HONEST! The sonnen BMW was going to charge me over 4x than what Marin car clinic charged for my break pads. It is unbelievable how much Sonnen charges vs here. They keep the customers happy, car ready when they say it will. Why wouldn't I use them again. Anybody has a mechanical problem this place is it. read more

Always excellent, friendly and reliable service for our family's car repair needs.

I've been taking my car here for years. They are super friendly and very honest people. I don't know anything about cars or the mechanics behind it. At Marin Car Clinic they are so informative, they explain everything to me in detail, and they don't try to up-sell me. Every time I take my car there they are find exactly what's wrong with it and tell me if there's ways I can cut the expenses, super affordable! Highly recommend and wouldn't take my car anywhere else! read more

On a Saturday, I found myself looking all over the county for someone who could fix an electric window that did not want to close. Had gotten a few estimates and offers of appointments later the next week, but Marin Car Clinic came through with flying colors! Made my same day appointment and got the car back within 3 hours and for much less than I had been quoted anywhere else. Friendly staff, honest, and fair. Am heading back tomorrow for more repairs and can't recommend them enough. They are great! read more

I have been coming to Marin Car Clinic since 1998 and I am ashamed to say that it didn't occur to me to leave them a feedback. Because I have nothing but praise for their work ethics and honestly. I have done anything from routine oil change to complete engine overhaul here. The whole team their is very knowledgeable about domestic and foreign cars and extremely reasonable with their pricing. If you are looking for an auto mechanic look no further. read more

You guys are simply awesome.!! Prompt courteous service and fantastic prices. It doesn't get any better than this in Marin County. Thank you....!!!! read more

I have taken my car here a couple of times. The prices are fare, but don't expect to get your car back the same day or even early the next day. I brought my car in for something simple and I never got a call back letting me know if or when it would be done. At 5 that day I began calling and calling and noone picked up. I finally got a call the next day from a.j. Or a.k. Guy who runs the place saying it would be ready soon. that was pretty annoying. Then the next time I went in, he told me to bring it back the next morning at 9 am. I arranged for a ride to meet me there in the am. I talk to a.j. The same person who told me to bring it bacl and he acted like he never saw me. He said he was too busy to work on it today. I reminded him of our conversation the day before and he said fine, leave it here if you want! No way was I going to leave my car there!!! I probably wouldn't see it for three days!!! So I went around the corner to midas. Amazing customer service!!!! read more

My husband won't let me take my Prius to any Jiffy Lube-type places to get my oil changed. He says he knows too many people who have worked at them, so he was having me drive up to Petaluma to Hybrid Haven for oil changes and routine maintenance. They were great, but expensive and a long drive from San Rafael. When I got my latest Prius, the dealer suggested Marin Car Clinic instead. They would take great care of me for low prices. And he was definitely right! Low prices, very nice employees, and very honest service, which is important for me as a younger female who doesn't know a lot about cars. They always go above and beyond. The only thing to be prepared for is that the parking lot is kind of a mess and hard to get in/out of, and also it takes a bit longer than you'd expect. Just plan ahead to leave your car there for the day. read more

My family has been bringing their cars to Car Clinic since the early 90's, and have always been met with the friendliest, most honest service possible. (not to mention the best prices in the area) I myself am a mechanical engineer by trade, and find myself learning from Hamid every time I have had to bring a car in...he always takes the time out to explain in detail what exactly is wrong with the car, how it happened, what are the options, and how its going to get fixed. I always feel involved in the process. It's no wonder all the other shops in the area, to include the local dealerships, send their tough repair cases to Marin Car Clinic to figure out whats going on. This place is a true gem. read more

Got my 90k tuneup done here and I could not be happier. Fantatic service, work and best prices you'll find in the Bay Area. They're hard working and trustworthy, will tell you what to expect right from the get go. I highly recommend Kourosh and co. for any of your cars' service needs. read more

If you want to be ripped off, this is the place to go. I suggest you find another mechanic as he OVERCHARGES and is out to make the most money he can from your bad situation!!! Don't trust this guy...Crook. There are many, much more reputable auto repair shops in Marin; don't go to this one~You will regret it... read more

My car recently overheated and the engine died. I was recommended to Marin car clinic and, even though I can't afford to get the repairs done, KJ was unbelievably honest and kind throughout the whole ordeal. When I get a new car I am more than confident to return and trust that I have found an honest mechanic. He has been patient with my car being stored there until I can organize a tow and has spoken with multiple members of my family to discuss the problems with the car. More details to come when I pay for services. read more
