They were very honest and direct with the issues.Very satisfied with the work that was done and staff very knowledgeable and friendly.

I was in town for my daughter orientation at Cal Poly and want to be safe on the road during driving back to Bay Area. I need to have my transmission flush. I searched on yelp for the shop near my hotel and I call couple shop for price and will take walk in. I was too excited to go for my daughter orientation and forgot to do transmission flush. The car only has 40K miles on it. Normally, I do this job myself. Anyway I did got couple of shop that takin walk in and price. Scott shop have earlier time and price work out best, but that not I'm go with. The final decision was Scott explained to me what he will do and why it cost that much. The shop was very nice and clean. Also, they work with muscle classic cars. That gave me the impression they know what the doing. Thanks! Scott and team. read more

I needed a smog certificate done asap as my tags were do very soon & I was going out of town. I called Scott's Shop with my somewhat silly story but they had me come in & like magic it was done. The shop us exceptionally clean read more

I just needed an oil change,my gas mileage wasn't what it should've been...the estimate was just over $100 but I figured that was normal for a college town. I'm giving 2 stars because they got me in and out of the shop at the times promised. When the call came in that my oil change was completed I was happy, then came the information that I Needed new air filters, both of them, And they had already ordered them. I felt obligated to have them installed by the shop. I figured it couldn't be much more...I was wrong. The bill was over $260. The labor charge was outrageous for installing the cabin filter, we've done it before ourselves it doesn't take much time and it's not difficult. One more thing, they told me ahead of time they would check all the fluids, I knew I needed windshield washer fluid...they charged me for it. I've never been charged for washer fluid before and I've had this car for 6 years. Not even the dealership charges for that. It's crazy because they came so highly recommended. Lesson learned. read more

I have had Scott do some great work on my classic cars recently. He is one of the few that understands how they work and how to work with the owners. He also has worked wit me on my modern cars . I find him as honest as they come and keeps you informed the whole way. read more

Initially, I was introduced to Scott's Shop by a neighbor who did most of his own auto work. If he needed a repair that used out of the ordinary tools or was beyond his expertise, he always took his car to Scott's Shop. When my warranty was up on my new car I also used Scott's Shop for everything. 3 or 4 cars later, I still always take my car exclusively to Scott's Shop. Very competitive prices also. If the repair is not a job they do, I trust his recommendations Honest fast work and workers. All treat me with honor and the knowledge I have. As a woman, all of you women know how subversive we can be treated, ESPECIALLY at a car repair shop I highly recommend Scott's Shop. It is a pleasure to do business there. read more

Never had a problem in the 10 years Scott's worked on my car! Great mechanics and a cool shop , the buildings been in slo for almost 100 years , read more

I have been taking my 1986 S10 blazer here for the past 5 years. I have always wanted a trusting and honest mechanic to work on my classic car and help me get it to the way I want it. I also take my 2011 Toyota Tacoma here for oil changes and maintenance. They do hot rods and normal vehicles which makes it great to know the outcome im of everything. I recommend them to all my friends and family and now maybe you will go to! read more

See all

We came from out of town and ended up having a lot of car trouble on our Honda Odyssey during the trip. Scott was the only mechanic who was able to take our car right away and get it done quickly. He was extremely kind, friendly, helpful and went above and beyond. Super nice guy. Highly recommend his shop read more

My catalytic converter was stolen while visiting SLO and Scott's Shop was a huge help with getting my car repaired and back on the road with minimal downtime. Excellent customer service and a clean shop make a big difference too! Thanks Scott! read more

If you bring your car here, you're not going to want to take it anywhere else. Came here on a recommendation from a shop that didn't know how to fix my car's specific issue. Scott fixed it and then some. I've brought my car in twice more since then. Always super transparent and fair pricing. This is a great shop for someone that doesn't have a lot of car knowledge because he will tell the truth instead of taking advantage of that. Nothing but good things to say about my experiences here and my car runs better than it has in a few years. read more

Don't go here unless you're looking to waste money. Went here to get my brakes done and it didn't even make it all the way back home before the starter went out. After going to another shop, I found out the brake repair was not even complete $1200 later. Also had a friend go here that had to take their car back after getting their starter done and the windows wouldn't roll down after. It's my own fault for going back, but I can't believe I wasted all the money. Friendly staff though! read more

On October 27th I called multiple shops around town to find out their mask wearing policies for an oil change. When I called Scott's Shop and he said they don't wear masks while working on vehicles, that was the information I needed and I ended the call kind of abruptly because I had to call other places. Then I got multiple phone calls which I did not answer. The next day I received a call from Scott. He started the call out by saying he was looking for masks, then elaborated that he was looking for masks that say "f--- you." Confused, I hung up. I wondered why this guy was mad at me so I decided to call back. After I asked why he said that to me he said "no one hangs up on me" and proceeded to call me a "f--- face", said I wasn't breast fed, etc. He told me my name, location, phone number, just like he did in his comment below which felt threatening. I mentioned the reason I was concerned was because me and my girlfriend are in high-risk groups for Covid-19, but I admitted that I was wrong about my belief that mechanics are required to wear masks while working on vehicles and I apologized for having had that expectation. He said that we should just stay home and he kept on being rude. Since he seemed threatening (particularly when he told me that he knows my name and location), I decided to post a review under a fake name. It turns out I was right to feel threatened, because he posted my information publicly here and sent me an angry message. Scott says that I'm not a customer and not allowed in his shop, which is fine because I already decided not to go there. Scott says I should treat people how I want to be treated. Well...I didn't swear, yell, or call Scott names. The thing I did that made him so mad is choosing not to go to his shop and hanging up too soon. Scott said "you're an entitled coward. But that could be because your parents did not raise a stand up man" and claims that I'm "trying to hurt the reputation of hard working people." I have a ton of respect for hard working people who are risking their lives to help others. I have nothing against any of the employees here, and like I said, I don't have anything against their mask policy. But handling anger by calling someone over and over, yelling at them, swearing at them, and questioning their upbringing definitely doesn't sound like a "stand up man" to me. read more

Scott's Shop - The conversation with the owner of Scott's Shop - Auto Repair Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

These guys are amazing, and I highly recommend them. Even though my car isn't an American classic (or American in general), they still took it in and spent the time to work on it and make sure I knew what was wrong with it. They are good, honest, and reliable. Also, dat vette.~ I get excited every time I see its pretty little face. read more

Scott's Shop runs like a well oiled machine. Great work in a timely fashion. Great for hot rods or the daily driver. Just like the good old days, but with high tech diagnostics. gets my highest recommendation! read more

Called this shop last minute to redo my brakes the same day, impossible, yes. They redid the brakes in and out that day. What a great place, so clean more like an office than a shop. People are friendly and competent. What more could you ask. I plan to use them instead of the dealer in the future. Doesn't hurt that they like hot cars either. Woody read more

Cliche but this is the type of auto shop that takes advantage of people they assume don't know about cars, especially women. I came in for an oil change, they charged me for it as if they'd completed the service and later I found out that they hadn't touched anything under the hood. Is it too much to ask for mechanics to not scam you out of a service just because you're a woman? read more

Scott and Scott's shop did an absolutely amazing job putting my 85 Corvette back into tip top shape! Great service, great price and flawless workmanship! Thanks Scott!!! read more

I'm a student at Cal Poly and needed a safety check while away from my usual mechanic at home. The employees at Scott's were so welcoming and explained what they were going to do with my car in a short, simple way I could understand. They did a full safety check and an oil change very quickly for a low price. I'm so happy I've found such a great mechanic away from home read more

We have trusted our vehicles to Scott and his team for more than ten years. They are helpful, knowledgeable, and flexible. Their work is affordable and their billing is always transparent. Scott is personable and reassuring, a real small town type of business owner who remembers his customers and always makes time for conversation. When I once broke down on the road and called Scott out of desperation, he coached me through some quick fixes and got me back on the road. Whenever people ask us for a recommended mechanic, we always send them to Scott. read more

The best auto repair shop in SLO! Honest, reasonable, quality work done quickly and well is what you'll find here. They repair anything, but classic muscle cars are a regular staple here. Even if your car doesn't need work right now, you might want to just walk the entrance to see something neat up on a lift. read more

Just had some work done by Scott's on my wife's classic car and am very impressed with the level of service at Scott's. After the minor work was completed they actually drove it to the local tire shop to have them do sone pre-arranged work on the wheels and tires! Then later my other car had a check engine light on and I took it by Scott's. Scott took the time to scan the code and find out what the trouble was for NO charge!! Many shops would charge for the scan. Am taking the car back soon to Scotts to repair and the shop has definitely earned our business. My wife and I are very picky and Scott and his crew have high marks and loyal customers! read more

Love these guys, Gary was the best and most helpful for me when buying my classic car and finding the right way to solve some issues it had... so sad to hear he's retired, probably won't be going back without him there. They do good work though. especially if you've got a mopar. read more

Grand total $420 - when we thought it was going to be $1600 job- We were blown away. I will be coming back, no JOKE. read more

Scott, Gino and the team at Scott's shop are hands down the best Auto Repair shop in San Luis Obispo. They have competitive prices, do great work and they seem to be able to squeeze me in even when they are swamped (and because the shop is so popular, they are always super busy). There is always the bonus of seeing all the cherry classic hot rods in and around the shop! They can fix just about anything with wheels. With these guys there are no surprises; always honest, always have the work competed on time and if I need a ride after I drop off the vehicle it's never a problem. I highly recommend Scott's Shop to all my friends and family. They too are always impressed. read more

Scott and his team are friendly, honest and fast. They take great care of both the customer and the car. I took my Ford Escape in for a 30,000-mile checkup.

I recommend Scott's shop for trustworthy and reliable help maintaining your vehicle. read more

We took our 1997 Chevrolet Silverado into Scotts shop when it started shaking and the check engine light came on. They got the truck in in two days on a Friday and it was returned on Monday all finished. The price was less than they quoted and faster than they stated it would take to be completed. We can't remember a time when the truck ran so well. We will be back for any other issues, and recommend you use them as well. read more

A great place to have your auto repairs completed by people who know what they are doing. They did a super job finding the problem with my truck engine and giving me the prognosis. They were friendly and professional and very reasonable in their charges for the service. Will definitely refer anyone I know who needs auto repair work. Thanks for your work guys! read more
