    M6 in Carmel

    When deciding for a shop to get repairs done I look for qualities like honesty fairness and diligence. Next gear and their staff is exactly this type of shop. The backstory to my visit here is I had purchased a used M6 from a dealership with a limited warranty. After a few ppis at previous shops a few issues were uncovered: one of which was a vc gasket leak on the drivers side cylinder bank that needed to be addressed. Naturally i figured I should have the other side done as well (for labor overlap to cheapen my out of pocket costs) so I asked to be quoted for the the full job and to my surprise the shop before next gear wrote up an invoice for same amount of labor for two separate repairs. This was outrageous! I refused to have the repairs done at that shop and luckily I was able to stumble across next gear in a google search so I gave them a call. The person to pick up was their tech Jonathan who spent a great deal with me on the phone as I explained the situation. Although their rates aren't the absolute cheapest(you pay for quality work) he gave me an honest quote on the amount of labor it would take to do both sides which was significantly cheaper than the other shop. I called 3 other places which had either refused to do the repair or gave me a bogus explanation on why it would take an additional 10 hours to do the second side. That alone won my business so I drove 50 min away to have it done at next gear. A few days later Jonathan calls me back to let me know he was able to have the other side covered under the warranty as well! This speaks to the conscientiousness of next gear's staff and their willingness to go above and beyond to make sure their customers get the proper service with as little cost as possible. How is it that the previous other shops could not do the same is beyond me. A later visit with them found a few other issues here and there which also saved me even more thousands of dollars down the road that would have needed to be addressed! I waited a few months to really give myself enough time behind the wheel to truly enjoy and test the vehicle out after all the work and needless to say she's driving like a brand new vehicle thanks to the outstanding work from Jonathan and the rest of the team there at next gear! Why go to a dealership if you can get the same quality of work (a few if not all of them were former bmw techs) without the egregious labor mark up? Don't. Come here instead! You won't regret it!

    I've been taking my 2021 X4 to Htet for about a year and a half now. I've brought my car to him enough times to say that I fully trust him and plan to keep coming back. He's highly skilled, knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and never recommends unnecessary repairs. I'm really glad I found him after my experience with BMW dealership in Berkeley, where I once caught staff fooling around with my car after they thought I had left, even kicking the door. I'd recommend him to my friends and family without hesitation.

    Took my E92 M3 in for some suspension work and these guys nailed it quickly and got rid of the clunk I was getting. Took my mini cooper in for some electrical issues causing a bunch of codes and these guys here nailed it quickly and got them all gone quickly and not overselling on stuff. Highly recommend for BMW and Mini, These guys here know what they're doing and don't rip you off.

    I sent out a request to multiple BMW repair shop and Htet was the only one who responded. Discussed my issue on a Thursday and he was able to see right away on a Friday. However, since I have work, I took it to him on a Saturday morning, which is a HUGE plus. When I got to his shop, he looked at my issue and just started working right away. Very efficient. Htet completed the work in 30 mins. As someone who works on my own car, I am very appreciative of the quality that Htet gave to the fix he did. It's one thing to fix the issue, but I saw Htet's commitment in providing above and beyond fix to my issue.

The car runs great now I'm so glad I found this place. I'll definitely be coming back Highly recommended!

    Stress free is FAR from what just happened to me. Your company caused me stress if anything…read more I made an appt online and received a confirmation. I arrived a few mins early for my 1pm appt today.. and then I was told that they could not complete my service because there was not enough time. Please tell me why I received a confirmation for my appt if this could not be done TODAY? Or if you knew ahead of time that it could NOT be possible, why did I not receive a call sometime BEFORE my appt? Their way of fixing the problem was to "accommodate me" by offering me a time tomorrow (a weekday). That sounds like you're accommodating yourself more so than me. That's convenient for YOU. There are people who can only get these kind of services done on the weekend, me included. Then they offered me their branch in Redwood City, but provided me with a Jiffylube address just to get me out the door. But wait.. TO TOP IT OFF, they offered me a "discount" the next time I could come in. The price they offered me was more than; if not the same price I would have paid TODAY for the service. How is that a "discount"? After respectfully trying to see what they could possibly offer to make this situation right...in every single aspect, this was accommodating YOUR COMPANY and NOT me, the customer. Why would I come back? To get denied for another service? I am totally taken back today with this situation. I really hope you put this into consideration for your company. Especially if your Yelp staff is encouraging your customers to book their appts online for a "discount". This seems to causing people stress..and being you are the "stress-free auto care", this far from the case.

    I originally encountered these guys when looking for a shop that could fix the convertible top on…read moremy BMW Z4. They told me what would be involved and that they would not be able to work on it without it costing a fortune. A less than honest shop might've tried to soak me for a repair job that ends up costing more than expected. I know, because others have tried that. These guys gave me an honest appraisal, and I remembered that when choosing a shop to work on my wife's car. We had just bought a 2006 BMW 330 ci, and like clockwork, just after the 30-day warranty expired, we had problems. It had just rained torrentially for three straight days and unbeknownst to us, the drainage ports in the trunk were completely clogged, allowing water to build up and penetrate to the electrical system. We noticed the dash lights, indicators, and steering wheel controls did not work. We brought it to Toole's with the hope that it was something easily diagnosed and fixed. It wasn't. To keep an already long story from getting much longer, I will just say that it was a 4-day-long diagnosis as the problem component(s) were not easily found, even with advanced diagnostic equipment. They sought out expert advice from other professionals who specialize in BMWs. The problem component was found and replaced. I originally agreed to three hours of labor, but since it went as long as it did, I happily agreed to an extra hour. So essentially, they stuck to the agreement plus a reasonable additional amount. I tried to add on a tip but they wouldn't accept it. We bought them pizzas instead. I recommend this shop because they're honest, friendly professionals who seem to really want to help out their customers while running a respectable business.

    While we ultimately discovered that they weren't equipped to solve my issue (they don't have the…read morenecessary Tesla software), they were honest and transparent - and didn't charge me unneccesarily. Sean, Marvin and the entire staff are good dudes - will definitely take my jeep there!

I had a…read moreterrible experience with a local dealer trying to repair my C7, and after constant unresolved problems, I decided to take it to someone else.. I found Clarity, which luckily is a very short drive from my house. They were extremely communicative and transparent throughout the entire process. Did a full inspection on top of the issues that I brought it in for and they made recommendations, but I did not feel pressured to make any decisions. Ultimately I got everything done anyway and they were so quick. They sent photos of the car and photos confirming the issues they found as well. Not a shady shop at all in my opinion. I also brought it in on a Monday morning, the car was ready by I think Thursday or Friday that week. After dealing with my car sitting at the dealer for months with little to no communication, this was a HUGE relief for me. So I decided to bring it in again to get my new rims installed. Literally within a couple hours the car was ready to be picked up, the process was super easy overall. These guys will be my go to for any future repairs or general maintenance that I need from now on. I highly recommend them. Thank you to the entire team at Clarity for coming through and getting everything done in such a timely manner.

    Unprofessional communication and questionable billing practices…read more Based on my recent experience regarding an AC repair, I recommend avoiding Clarity at all costs. I brought my vehicle in for a diagnosis and received a four-item quote (compressor, condenser, lines, and recharge). I originally accepted this quote with an agreed-upon completion of the end of the next business day. The issues began with communication: Late-stage changes: At 5:20 PM the day before the work was set to commence, I received a text stating the parts supplier had changed, the price had increased, and the timeline was being extended. They also requested a deposit despite not doing so earlier. Lack of transparency: When I asked for a breakdown of the price increase, I was simply sent a link to a long PDF rather than a clear explanation or a phone call to discuss the new terms. The most concerning part of the experience: Because I had not yet approved the new, higher quote or the extended timeline, I messaged them the following morning to decline the job. I was told they had already removed my compressor. Management's stance was that because I had originally approved the "items" on the first quote, they were entitled to start work on those specific parts--even though the total project cost and timeline had changed and I had not signed off on the revised estimate. The shop manager told me I needed to "take accountability" and that this was a "me problem." I was ultimately charged an hour labor just to get my car back. If you value clear communication and a pleasant customer service experience, avid Clarity Auto at all costs. It's genuinely the worst customer experience I've had.
