This is the greatest place I have found anywhere near Prunedale. They are friendly and fixed our old Lincoln twice, and the repairs were for unusual problems. Edgar researched the problem and went that extra mile to really feel like you were getting the best service possible. His other guy who works there is also good and the office staff friendly and professional. The cost is very reasonable and if there is a problem with the work, Edgar makes sure it is taken care of. Thumbs up. read more

I called to see if I needed an appointment to get my car smog the man on the phone was so pleasant he said just bring you car in and we can get it done. The place is easy to find but it does say on google it is in Salinas but it is not it is in Prunedale. On arrival I met the owner he was so friendly he got my car in and out in less than 30 min. I will be going here for all my smogs and oil changes. Great place to do business with nice little seating area inside the building and a bench outside. read more

I had been a longtime client of the previous owner, Mr Lubrication...always happy with them. I went in a week ago, mid afternoon, for an oil change. Guy said to come back in 20 minutes as there was someone already ahead of me. Ok, no problem...I come back a bit before 3pm and he said, *Ya know, I am just going to lunch now*. I thought , WOW, really? Ok. I like to do local business so I decide to give them one more shot. I went in yesterday about 20 minutes to 5pm. He tells me that they already are working on the last car for the day. WTF!! Are you kidding me?? Have they never heard of customer service?? Same tech each time turned me away. That's it... I gave them three shots, now will take my business elsewhere. read more

I live locally and always come here to have my car checked out before I go on a road trip. They inspect everything! They fill my tires, fill all low fluids, change wipers, check my brakes, air conditioning fluid (hot days lately). They always smog my car for me. These guys are honest, likable and very professional. The customer lounge has wonderful coffee and the latest movies on large screen, playing on DVD. Someone on yelp mentioned smelling fumes? I never smell any fumes. The open bays and heavy sealed doors to the customer lounge takes care of all that. These people are just good honest people that do a great job. read more

I have had my Lexus and Honda serviced here before. The new owner took me in right before closing and stayed late for me. He truly went above and beyond to make sure my cars were taken care of. The pricing was awesome and he was very transparent. I will definitely be back to service my vehicles in the future. read more

If all that you need is an oil change or smog check they are fine. If you want more, watch your pocket! They will quote you one price in the phone then when the car gets there the estimate doubles! This has happened to me twice! I'm never getting my car repaired here again! read more

Came here for an oil change with my 4 month old baby, thinking this will be quick and easy, right? The customer before me was already disgruntled and telling the receptionist how unhappy he was, then it's my turn. I called in advance so my baby wouldn't have to be around all the fumes for a long time and I was told to just come in, they're not busy. We waited 2 hours, they didn't even try to be considerate and close the adjoining door that was letting all the fumes into the waiting room, I got up and closed it twice. For the price just go to jiffy lube, they at least top off fluids. read more

I just spen over four hundred dollars to replace the oil pan on my Honda Civic. The drain plug threads had been stripped out and a funky replacement plug and washer was installed. Written with a marker was "do not over tighten" on the pan. I'm very disappointed no one said anything to me. I had been using this business exclusively. read more

While traveling from Southern California to the Napa Valley on a Sunday afternoon, my car had suddenly had some kind of fluid all over its engine causing a weird smell. It also would not brake normally. I managed to park my car at Prunedale Auto Repair and drop the key through the front door slot, along with a note describing the car's issues. I proceeded with a rent car to my destination, but knew from experience that I was in a perfect position to be taken advantage of by the type of mechanic who, over the phone, would describe a multitude of mechanical issues needing hundreds (or thousands) of dollars of repairs. How very fortunate I was to have found Edgar at Prunedale Auto Repair, who carefully inspected the car on the rack, tested the brakes on the road, and checked all fluid levels. His conclusion: We must have hit some pool of oil that had been spilled on the road, and it had splattered up on our engine and gotten onto out brake pads. There was nothing mechanically wrong with the brakes or the rest of the car. When I picked the car up on my return, he said I didn't owe him anything, but I insisted and he reluctantly agreed to accept $35 for his work. The car and its brakes are now working fine. Only a truly honest mechanic would act this way, and my only regret is that I don't live close enough to Prunedale Auto Repair to give them all my car repair business. read more

I've been going here for years and always found the service to be top notch. I recently sent my 87 year old mother to get the oil changed in her Benz. I was a little reluctant to send her by herself but the folks at Prunedale Auto Repair treated her like their own mother! Patient, courteous and caring. My mother left with an oil change, tire pressure checked, filters changed and a badly needed pair of new windshield wiper blades. This is a business the owners should be proud of.. read more

I made an appointment for an oil change using a Groupon. When I showed up the receptionist said something about me not having an appointment. Then a man on her left said something like: no matter, we're not busy. It took them approximately 30 minutes. They honored my Groupon, even though I did not remind them I had one. They were efficient, and got the job done. I have no complaints and am going to make an appointment to have my transmission fluid changed. read more
