I dread anytime I need service on my Mercedes. It's normal, of course, to need some type of…read moremaintenance, but OMG, it's so so expensive. This time, I had an "A4 Service" message on my panel, so I looked for a local place other than the dealer, which is very inconvenient in SLO. Well, Yelp came to my rescue. Auto Limits shows with 5 stars, and it's located so close to me. I called them, made an appointment, and they gave me a reasonable quote. That morning, I dropped it off, and John said it would be ready by 2pm. Well, before 2pm, i received a call that it could be picked up. Not only that, it was nearly a $100 lower than the estimate "...because it was checked, and wasn't needed"...wow. I love it. What makes up for a little messy / fugly office, they are nice, honest, and give good service. Again, love it.

He told me I didn't even have struts. My car was fine. He did an oil change and a few other things for a very nominal price. Upon returning home I dropped my keys under the seat and couldn't retrieve them. I returned to John where proceeded to get the necessary tolls and found my keys at no charge. I knew he had an excellent reputation but he went above and beyond. Very nice shop and super, honest service. I would recommend John for any work on your foreign car. Thank you John.

Matt listened to me and recognized that I know most of the idiosyncrasies of a car I've had since I was 17. That might seem a silly thing to praise, but so many mechanics think they know more about a car I have owned for 32 years than I do, even when they've never seen one before. But not Matt, he listened and helped me figure what needed to be done so I could fix it and get it to pass smog. For the rest of the world that doesn't have a car that is like a member of the family, Matt is fair and honest! You can trust him.

Why would one take the time to review a gas station on Yelp? Well, when the gas station is as…read moreawesome as this, one would have to! It's actually California law that gas stations are required to provide free gas and water when you buy gasoline. On the rare occasions I've tried to ask for either in the LA area, the gas station attendant acts like I might as well be asking for the earth and the moon. Then midway through they'll shut it off, so I'll have to go back, they'll begrudgingly turn it on again, and I'll have to go back to my car and so on and so forth... With the employees here, it's completely the opposite! Because I wanted to use Apple Pay inside they let me fill up my tank first and then allowed me to pay for it later. Imagine doing that in LA! When I asked about air, one of the mechanics actually checked each of my tires for me and even went underneath the car to grab a valve-cap that I had dropped. And they waved us goodbye and thanked us for coming! No, thank YOU!! This station deserves ALL the Mobil awards! PS. The gas was cheaper than the other stations in the area!

Then it was taken over by the current owner, who somehow managed to fire the entire experienced crew-some with decades here-and replace them with people who can't do half the work this place advertises. Basic services that were once routine are now apparently "not something we do," which is an interesting business model for a service bay. The new staff seem confused, undertrained, and completely out of their depth. It takes real talent to ruin a business this thoroughly, but here we are. If you're remembering how good this place used to be, save yourself the disappointment. That version is long gone.
