I needed a Smog certificate, so I started looking for a garage in town…read more I checked Yelp and sure enough I found a couple of places...Now like most of my reviews I was aware of this garage and I'd been by it a hundred times, they were always busy. Certainly the sign of a good place whether it's a restaurant, car repair or a bar. I linked onto the site and followed along until I found the spot to make a reservation. Now the question was asked "leave car" or I'll wait". I chose leave the car and no reservations were available for a few days so...I backed up and chose I'll wait an available times popped up for tomorrow... Okay tomorrow 9:45 that would work. I arrived for my appointment a bit early, Jaedon was in the office and he logged the car in and said he'd call when it was ready, cool. So I left to do my work out and walk and a couple hours later I saw the missed call and a text to pick up my car, wow. Now he had told me the service fee and I thought that was a bit high and yes that price included the smog certificate. Once I was back in the office, (they have a great little waiting room just behind the shop) Jaedon reviewed the inspection they had done on the car and the washed my car too. A good shop will wash your car, that was cool. Everything was in good order, the car passed the smog test. I ordered the filters and wiper blades that needed replacement from the big A and saved a couple bucks. I was very pleased with the service and easefulness at Wimmers, you earned another happy customer. Foodguy - Martin

WOW!! My car has…read morehad trouble starting for the past several months intermittently; we replaced the alternator, battery, terminal... caps? whatever holds it in place. And never a solution that lasted very long. We kept wondering if it was the starter, and our suspicions were confirmed after my car had issues starting again this morning. We were turned away from a different shop, but a quick call confirmed that Wimmer's could help us out. We arrived around 12:45 and ended up picking our car up at about 5pm - they were able to switch out the starter and complete an oil change, they even gave me a complimentary exterior wash! Altogether it ended up around $900 including the diagnostic and the VERY thorough multipoint inspection. I'm so appreciative of the whole team, they really hustled to make sure that we could have our car back before they closed and it truly means so much.

I believe I paid for a service that was either not performed properly or not performed at all…read more When I bought my car, another shop noted that the brake fluid was brown and needed replacement. I put it off for over a year before finally bringing it to this shop earlier this year specifically for a brake bleed. I even supplied my own premium DOT 4 brake fluid. I understood there would be no warranty because I provided the fluid. A few months later, in May, I returned for a full safety inspection. Their own inspection showed that the brake fluid was green/brown and in poor condition--the exact same problem I had paid them to address. At that point, I called and left a voicemail explaining that from my perspective it looked like the reservoir may have simply been topped off while I was charged for a full brake service. I told them I would gladly listen if there was a legitimate explanation. The explanation I received was that a brake bleed "doesn't change the fluid, it just removes air." That statement raised even more questions. Brake fluid exits the system during a bleed. New fluid is added during the process. Yet somehow, after paying for the service, the fluid condition was still reported as poor. The proposed solution was even worse. Rather than standing behind the work or explaining why the fluid was still contaminated, I was offered another brake fluid exchange for over $200. In other words, after already paying once to address the issue, I was being asked to pay again. I'm a college student. I don't have money to throw away on services that fail to solve the problem they were supposed to solve. What bothered me most was not even the money--it was the complete lack of accountability. If your brake fluid is discolored and you are paying this shop to address it, keep your receipts and verify the results afterward. I did, and the paper trail speaks for itself. Based on my experience, I have serious doubts about the value and quality of the brake service performed here, and I will not be returning.

That alone cost $400. Afterward, we were told an additional $1,100 in repairs were required--many of which were grossly overpriced. For example, the tires they quoted were nearly double what I could have purchased at a tire shop. A rear fender reflector--$7.99 on Amazon--was quoted at $30 here, with the excuse that it had to be OEM from VW. Fine. We waited two weeks for the part to arrive, only to be told they ordered the wrong reflector. Another week passed before the correct one came in. When we finally returned, the reflector installation took 15 minutes. I specifically asked if we could wait for it, but was told to leave the car because it was "in a long line" and might not be ready until the next day. Thirty minutes later, I got a call saying it was done. In total, this required four separate trips, over 100 miles of driving, and not once did we receive an apology, acknowledgment of mistakes, or any offer of a discount. Instead, I was met with dismissive responses like "it is what it is" and "it's always something." The person I dealt with was snarky, condescending, and completely unconcerned with customer service. Mistakes happen--but the attitude and lack of accountability here were unacceptable. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

I'm taking a moment to share my experience with Morin Brothers Automotive Services because it truly…read morestood out. I live in Montana, and my son is attending Cal Poly, SLO. Early one morning this week, I got a call from him: "Papa, something's wrong with my brakes, and I need an oil change." Being far away, I immediately began an exhaustive online search for automotive centers in the area, carefully reading through numerous reviews to find a place I could trust to take care of him properly. Morin Brothers consistently came up in my search, so I gave them a call, and I'm very glad I did. From the very first interaction, Elena was outstanding. She was responsive, professional, patient, and incredibly easy to communicate with. Even after reading a mix of reviews that made me slightly hesitant, her level of care and clarity gave me the confidence to move forward. We discussed the needed services, oil change, front and rear brakes, and a tire rotation. While the cost was not cheap, it was fair and comparable to other estimates I had received. When Elena later called to review additional diagnostics, I admit I was cautious, but trusting her judgment, I authorized the work so my son's vehicle could be properly and safely evaluated. A few hours later, she followed great news: the additional diagnostics revealed no issues, and there would be no charge for that extra time. She also mentioned that a previous oil change may have resulted in some excess oil being spilled, which likely contributed to the concern. As a parent, especially with a student away at college, moments like this matter. It's not just about the repair, it's about trust, communication, honesty, and peace of mind. Morin Brothers delivered on all fronts. They communicated clearly, acted with integrity, and stood by their work. Whatever may have led to the occasional negative review, my experience suggests there may be more to those stories. This will now be our go-to shop for my son's vehicle. Even if, though perhaps not, the cost is slightly higher at times, knowing your son or daughter is being looked after properly, especially when you're not nearby as a parent, is worth every bit of it. I am truly grateful for professionalism, transparency, and care. Highly recommended. - Thaddeus Widmer
