Ever since finding House of Brakes, I have never gone to another automotive shop…read more These are honest people who are truly in this business to help your car and YOU! I've come to ask questions and have always been given an in depth answer--even when they don't end up working in my car. No questions is ever too small for them to provide an answer, and Jonathan takes time out of his day to help me decide what's best for my car and my budget. My husband and I have trusted his judgment and advice with all of our current and past cars, and we will continue to place any and all future cars into his care as well.

I had an excellent experience with D & K Collision Repair Center and can't recommend them highly…read moreenough. Francisco and his team did a phenomenal job repairing my 2011 Chevrolet Silverado after it was hit in a parking lot. From the very beginning, they operated like a true first-class shop--professional, organized, and clearly experienced. They didn't just handle the repair; they also walked me through how to deal with the insurance company, helped set up a rental car, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The communication was outstanding from start to finish. I always knew what was going on, and the work was completed in a timely manner without cutting corners. The final result exceeded my expectations--the truck looks great. Before choosing them, I asked a few local mechanic shops I trust here in San Rafael for recommendations, and more than one pointed me to D & K. Now I understand why. While I hope I don't need collision repair again anytime soon, I wouldn't hesitate to come back if I did.

DO NOT GO HERE! They…read moreblatantly violated BAR regulations by failing to get written authorization for work, and then they "found" more work once they started and added 60% to the bill! Even WORSE is they wrote down my credit card information and charged it WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. They offered to fix my truck without a warranty, then when I complained they said they'd warranty the work "out of the goodness of their heart". This shop is a joke. Bait and switch leveraged work that they force you into doing. Pressure is their game. Jason, the manager, is an pushy, arrogant, and threatening. He called to try and strongarm me to not file a report with the BAR and refused to have the actual owner call me to avoid the report I filed. I wanted to speak to the actual owner before getting CA BAR involved, but Jason's attitude and lack of respect forced my hand. He literally writes cc information on pieces of paper and holds them until later. When I questioned this, he kept repeating the line that "any personal credit card information is destroyed at the end of the day." How? You literally jotted it down on scratch paper and then threw it away? Did you shred it? Use any proper document disposal?? This shop will get you to do $500 worth of work and then call you with other things they "find" and it's quickly $5000. They don't stand by their work, and their owner is too scared or too disengaged to deal with unhappy customers directly. The BAR will be contacting you shortly. The 11 page report I filed was very detailed.

They asked a lot of good questions and listened. They took it for a drive and threw it on the rack. They actually spent a good deal of time on it.

From the timely communication to the transparency and honesty about the work being performed, I felt confident that my car was in good hands. It was clear they genuinely cared about providing quality service rather than overcharging. I highly recommend JP and will definitely be returning for all of my future car maintenance and service needs.

The work was top-notch, the shop is clean and beautiful, and Jason is a super nice and friendly guy. The standout part for me was that I never felt like I was being sold on something I didn't need, which seems to be a rare occurance in the automotive buisness. I will certainly be bringing my cars back to JP for their annual tuneups and anything else needed in between. Thanks jP!
