Danny at Marina Tire & Auto is wonderful. While I have brought many vehicles here (tires, oil…read morechanges, small maintenance issues), my most recent visit is prompting this review. I had gotten an oil change at one of the quick-service places on the peninsula, and they had left out a gasket/seal that caused my oil to leak. Danny called me immediately and told me to take it back to the original mechanic, but I declined and instead entrusted my vehicle to Marina Tire & Auto. They had me in and out in under two hours, the same day, and I felt much more confident driving my vehicle. ALL the staff I've ever encountered are super friendly and straightforward. Stay away from those quick-service places and go with quality. :)

Even suggested another shop for some options! They got me in and out quickly and within my budget! My experience honestly was far above all my expectations. You can't see the huge, well equipped service bays from the store parking and frontage but when I finally checked out-back I was shocked and impressed at the facility! The parts and work were excellent. Nice to know Marina has such a fine auto-repair shop! Lived in Marina for decades, this shop is an understated gem! Highly recommend! Cary C.

I met with the seller of my vehicle at Aaliyah's Auto Shop for a pre-inspection. During the…read moreinspection, the owner, Jesse, informed me that my vehicle had a "very small" water pump leak and that the coolant level was low. He stated that he topped off the coolant with fluid and showed my husband a picture; however, the picture he showed was only of the coolant, not of an actual water pump leak. At no point was I shown a picture or physical evidence of a leak itself. Due to the stress of the transaction and being surprised by this diagnosis--especially since I regularly maintain my vehicle every three months--I did not ask to personally see the alleged leak at that time. Jesse also stated that the vehicle needed new brake pads because they were due for replacement. A few days later, I contacted Jesse to request a photo of the water pump leak. He then informed me that he did not have any photo of a leak--only a photo of the coolant. He went on to say that the car was otherwise "perfect," drove great, and that the only issues were the need for new breaks and a new water pump. Because of these inconsistent statements, I took it upon myself to have the vehicle inspected at a Honda dealership while also completing an oil change. The certified Honda mechanics did not find any water pump or coolant leaks (please see attached video). Additionally, they confirmed that the brakes were at approximately 50% life remaining and did not require immediate replacement. Based on these findings, I am deeply concerned about the accuracy and integrity of the inspection performed at Aaliyah's Auto Shop. It appeared that unnecessary repairs were recommended without sufficient evidence. Jesse also emphasized that his shop was the cheapest in town and that he offers the best prices, which further raised concerns that the diagnosis may have been influenced by sales motives rather than factual mechanical issues. I believe this experience demonstrates a lack of transparency and reliability. I strongly encourage anyone seeking a pre-purchase inspection to consider using a trustworthy and reputable mechanic or dealership service center to avoid receiving misleading or inaccurate information.
