I just got my car fixed by Tony, he was so accommodating and worked with my schedule to get it done! My cars taillight needed to be replaced and I had numerous scratches on my car he did such a great job repairing my car, I will absolutely use him again if ever needed! read more

I brought my Prius in because I had a check engine light they fist said it could be a water pump or other things they weren't straight forward they 800 to change a water pump !!! That's a rip off so the next day came they didn't call me or inform that it wasn't a water pump that needed to be changed but instead it was just a thermostat they then said 500.00 to change a thermostat the prices are wild over here and I noticed since I wasn't Brazilian they didn't really treat me with respect as a customer because I could communicate in there language watch out for this place it's expensive!! read more

A really great honest mechanic. I have been going to see Tony for at least ten years now. Definitely call and make an appointment, he's a very busy guy. One man shop. read more

Honest, patient and knowledgeable. I have finally found myself a new honest mechanic! I am definatly going to use Tony again when my vehicle needs repair . read more

I recently purchased my first used car--a 1993 Accord at almost 203K--and it is my impression that a well-worn machine needs a lot more of sweet TLC as it accelerates (or decelerates?) into senior living. Especially because I love my car, though it be a pain in my A, and trying to prevent catastrophic failure depends on either being a good mechanic (which I am so totally not) or finding a good mechanic who can tolerate the vehicle-incompetent. So after attempting a DIY-outer-CV-boot-replacement-blunder, I found Tony to take the wheel from my trembling hands. Much like a miffed and traumatized animal might feel towards veterinarians, I, an adult human might feel towards mechanics. But so far, that has not been the case with Tony. Actually, he has been nothing but kind, incredibly patient and honest; a totally chill, happy dude who is passionate about his work and seriously cares about his customers. He's very easy to talk to (even if you don't know what the hell you're talking about), and you'll drive away with high-quality repairs with your wallet intact and in tow. I've been back to replace my engine mounts which turned out well, and I'm thankful for the relationship that I've been able to build with him since, because results are always better if your mechanic has had a few looks over your car and knows how you've been screwing it up (jk :-)). Note: one thing I didn't realize is that there are so many years and generations of different models and makes...different technologies and designs that independent mechanics might work on. So please talk it over with Tony to see if you can find the right solution for your vehicle. Also Note: when you go in for your appointment, be sure not to park next to the fence leading in as it blocks the businesses west of Tony. It's best to park in front of the garage doors or on the street if no spot is available. read more

Tony takes care of the Grandmas. In mobile service days, he'd check the elders on his roster and charge them "TLC" for his services if nothing major was warranted. He indulges my own grandmother who no longer has nearby mechanically inclined family members and is always generous with his time helping out any way he can. His pricing is fair and he has never tried to sell MeeMaw something she didn't need. In fact, he's taken cost cutting measures without ever compromising her safety or his level of service. read more

Perhaps my imagination was running wild, but I felt that my car was getting progressively louder as time went on (and with each visit to other mechanics in the area). Most recently, I thought that my car's exhaust sounded louder than it should, so I called Tony's to see about having my car looked at. I also requested an oil change at the time of my call, and I noticed that my left rear taillight was out right before heading over to Tony's. I told Dan about my taillight when I dropped my car off, then I went home and waited. A short time later, Dan called to tell me about his findings. Specifically, he said my exhaust wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be (although there was some significant rusting, since I'm from much further east). He made confident, educated suggestions as to how I should go about dealing with it. He suggested that some of the more significant problems be taken care of now, while less-serious aspects be pushed off until a later check-up due to more serious complications (and cost) that would result from dealing with them. Since I had him check my car over thoroughly, he suggested that I may want to get the recommended 60,000-mile maintenance done. I asked that he do so. I have to say that I was impressed with the degree to which Dan explained things, as well as the manner in which he explained them. I don't know a lot about cars, but Dan helped me to understand what he was suggesting and why with ease. I also have to note the manner in which Dan disclosed cost estimates. I suspect that my viewpoint may come as a result of me always expecting the worst when it comes to the cost of car repairs (due to past experiences), but Dan seemed to be legitimately concerned with the cost of repairs and how I might perceive them, almost to the point that he seemed like he felt bad for taking my money. I was honestly pretty impressed with the cost estimates and went along with his suggestions, comfortable that my car was clearly in good hands. I even requested that they keep the car overnight if they needed to keep it longer. Dan kept me updated throughout the first day, and I received a call early into my work shift the next day, advising that my car was ready. I went over to Tony's to pick it up during my lunch break. While I was there, Tony took the time to show me some of the components that they'd replaced from my car to demonstrate the importance of the repairs that'd been done. Dan and Tony were both very personable during every interaction that I had with them. Before I go further, I have to comment on something that I said to Dan over the phone on the first day, as well as how he responded. I mentioned that I felt like my car was louder every single time I got it worked on, and he said that it was probably psychological, since spending a lot of money can have that effect on a person when it comes to car repairs. While the cause of the noise that I was hearing wasn't what I thought it was, I do feel better about my car right now. Something to do with the 60,000-mile maintenance may have done the trick, as it does sound better to me. Also, it starts more smoothly, and the steering feels so much better during sharp turns (usually during three-point turns). Whether it's psychological or not, I have to chalk all of this up to the fact that my car was in good hands and that I *felt* that my car was in good hands the entire time. I honestly have nothing to complain about with respect to my visit. I appreciate Dan and Tony for their honesty and clarity, as well as their concern for the cost to me. They took my input and - despite it clearly being inaccurate in spots - worked around it to resolve my concerns and cause absolutely no frustration to me. I can't recommend these guys enough. Thanks, Dan and Tony! read more

This is long over due! I bought a used car, as one knows, you never know what you're going to get until it starts to give you trouble! I had the oil changed through a Groupon and was told I (ok...my car) needed about $1,000 worth of work. NOT what you want to hear after spending over 10K ! I looked at the reviews, as I've used almost every place here in P-town and these guys ARE the REAL thing! I was "told" I had a crack in my brakes but these guys are too HONEST not to tell you.... "It's there for a reason.... factory installed". They spent some time looking over brakes, resetting my dash (the Groupon guys messed it up!) and most of all.....listening to my concerns! The BEST of it....... my bill was $19.87 ...... BEAT THAT GROUPON !!! Finally found some really nice guys that don't "take you for a ride" :-) I will return! Check them out! read more

Having read good reviews I decided that this would be the place to bring my car. I called and they were closed for the holidays. I called back once they said they'd be open. Left a message and received a call back 3 days later. Set an appointment for their first available one and it was 6 days later. Got to the shop for my appointment and nobody was there. Waited in my car for about 10 minutes then started walking around to see if he may me somewhere in the area. This is where things went completely unexpected. I was parked in the alley fairly randomly, figuring that he could tell me where to park when he pulls up. I walked out to the street for a minute and saw a guy park in the street. I followed him back and as he went to open the office door i said "hey, how's it going" He asked if that was my car there. I said yes and he told me I was lucky I didn't get towed and I shouldn't have parked there. I told him there was nobody here to tell me where to park' He said I'm here now. He then pointed out a parking spot with a boat partially in it, condescendingly swinging his arms to point while he whistled as if i'm a dumbass and should have known that was customer parking. Never once did I get a thanks for waiting or sorry I'm late. I couldn't believe the arrogance and disrespect of this a-hole. I was fed up and said "you're gonna give me sh** after I waited here for you to get here? F you. That must have woken him up because then he started apologizing profusely. I just kept telling him to F off as he followed me back to my car. I told him I'm leaving a big fat yelp and he asked for me to let him explain. Explain what? Why he is such an a-hole? This may sound embellished but I swear this is exactly what happened. I don't care how good of a mechanic people say he is, he is a horrible person representing his own shop. read more

Tony and Ryan....My Hero's !!!!! I was told by another car repair shop in Pacifca where I had been bringing my cars for the past 8 years that my Durango had a blown head gaskett-Something made me stop by to get a second opinion...Tony said to leave the car and I got a call the next day..."Your car is ready for pick-up....It's gonna be $ 380.00 !!! OMG!!!!I had to pull over and have him repeat what he said......It wasnt the Head Gaskett at all -It's so hard to find honest people in this world, .....I recommend this place to anyone who has gotten a high estimate on their car and wants a second opinion. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO !!!! read more

tony and ryan (pretty sure that his name) rule! they were very accommodating, friendly, fair and trustworthy and wayyyyyyyyyy cheaper than the dealer i live in san francisco but will gladly drive down to pacifica for all my car needs from now on read more

I recently had car trouble and didn't have a mechanic in the area. We took my car there and Tony was able to assess the issue and give me an idea of what I might expect from my problem. I took my car in at 11:30 am and it was ready to be picked up at 4:00 PM. His service was great and he even told me that I should come in a few days later so he could check the work he had done since I was planning to head down to LA and he wanted to make sure the car was safe to drive. I appreciated that he was the one to work on my car but he also told me that all the men he hires have to live up to his standards which rests my nerves even more. I COMPLETELY trust Tony with my car and plan to use him anytime my car needs a service again! Thanks Tony!! read more

Tony saved us from having to tow my daughters car when the right side brake caliber fell off. It was late and I looked online and it said he was open until 11:00 pm. I called and he came right out and got us back on the road in no time. The cost...much less than I was expecting! read more

My wife and I highly recommend Tony's auto repair. He has been our mechanic for eight years now, and he has always been friendly, honest, and reasonably priced. We remember one time when our car was running terribly, and the check engine light was on. Tony did a number of tests and determined that all we needed was a new gas cap. He hardly charged us a thing. His work on our car has always been excellent. Once again, if you are looking for an honest mechanic - look no further. read more

The worst ever, I finally fixed the problem with my alternated they put in the wrong one and refused to exchange it were both handicapped and need our vehicles, next I took my avalanche in told them what was wrong with the a.c. I got it back it started blowing hot air Randy the rude sob,told me pull of the road and restart it when that happens,wouldn't fix the problem said it's fixed so we kept going there because there inexpensive, of course they are a bunch of backyard pretend mechanics,last straw I bought a or cruiser overheated and stuck on the side of the road insurance company had tow truck on the way I called they told me take it to the dealer, what you advertise any vehicle anytime. Run as fast as you can from these haouli rip off artists,go back to the mainland. Do not take your car or any vehicle to Tonys. Ekim m read more

Tony is the best. Old Skool honest mechanic, who will help you in spite of his better judgement. Fair, Reasonable and flexible, he keep my POS truck on the road 3 years longer than it should have run and repaired a lot of damage done by others. I followed his advice and dumped that truck, but now that I have no vehicle, I don't get to see Tony crack me up. read more

I've been going to Tony for well over 10 years. He is fair, principled, and an overall awesome guy. He does excellent work, very timely, and will try to save you a buck when he can. I recommend him 200%!! read more

I have a real pain in the butt of a car that keeps giving me a lot of problems. I don't have a lot of funds to get a new one at the moment and Tony has been great at helping me figure out what I really need to fix and what can wait a while. He always seems to be able to fit me in and get my car done as quickly as possible. I trust his advice and would recommend him to friends. read more

I wish I had found Tony sooner. They do not come any better. I have been taking him my cars for several years. He is great for basic maintenance and repair. Most garages seem to be out for the dollar. Tony is out for the customer. He tells you what he thinks is wrong and how much it will cost. He tries to save you money on parts and repair. He will even tell you if it is not worth repairing. The only problem with the place is the lack of parking for dropping off your car. The driveway is shared with the U haul in the back . So call ahead to find out if he can take you. Tony's is the very best. read more

I knew I'd be back! My car has issues....but these wonderful guys don't! I parked in a bad place, my bad! and thought "ohMG....another $250. But Tony is SO sweet and honest that he came to my rescue and got it out of the pound so he could work on it! If I could give these guys 10 Stars....I WOULD! Pacifica is lucky to have this business and such helpful, honest and caring people. I won't go any other place..... They are the BOMB ! THANK YOU !!!!!! read more

They did an excellent job. Everyone was nice. They don't have a waiting room, so be prepared to come back for your car. They were not pushy and brought to my attention items that needed attention. I was even offered a doughnut! read more

I went to Tony's because he is local and I'm a small business owner and want to support others. He did a good job on my breaks, Toyota Tacoma SR5. But I was very unhappy with his service on my second visit. My check engine light has been on for a while and he fixed it, for one day. I brought it back and he fixed it again this time for a week. I spent over a grand there and light is still on? When I called the shop to complain his helper had some double talk excuse why light keeps coming on and I should bring it back. Well I don't trust him any more come on 3 trips to fix a check engine light! read more

This isn't a quick lube shop, so a simple oil change might be cheaper at a bigger place that does 100's of them a week, but if you have actual repairs (especially major ones) to do on your vehicle, this is the place to go for honest service at a fair price. Tony will usually try to fit you in if you're having an emergency, even when they are busy (which is pretty much all the time). The level of personalized service you get at Tony's is more like something out of the 1950s. Tony and his assistant are just nice guys. They don't have much of a web presence, but word of mouth and a loyal customer base seems to work for them. read more

Tony is a honest and dependable guy. He does what he says he will, when he says he will, and the price is always fair, and consistent. I recently had to have my power windows replaced in my car, and he did both of them (just the front needed it), at a very reasonable rate in 1 day. Then I had a part fall off of my car (it's a 92 Buick), it was the right plastic protective side covers for the side lights, and he ordered the part and just had me bring it in and did it for nothing as part of my lube and oil change service that I had to have done. Tony is a nice local guy that has been working on cars in the Pacifica area for over 20 years. You can count on him taking good care of you! You may have to wait a little when you get there for him to be free to help you, but, his fareness is well worth the wait. I would recommend him to anyone! read more

very honest, always searches for the lowest price option for us. tackles car problems in a trouble shooting fashion (lets fix this first and if that doesn't help we'll do this or that). great with older cars foreign and domestic. The street parking situation is a not the greatest for his business...he does the best he can with the space. All the business on that street have to compromise regarding parking, some are better than others. read more

Tony and Ryan will be the only guys to work on my car again. My car broke down, it's a 2002 and has 127,000 miles on it and I cannot afford to replace it at this time. With their TLC I'm sure I'll be able to get a couple of more years out of it, plus I love my car. After doing major repairs to it, I love the fact that they wanted me to stop by for a quick check to make sure there are no leaks. Follow through is not something I've experienced from our previous mechanics. I am telling everyone I know that if they need work done on their cars to call Tony. read more

I been taking my cars to Tony for about 7 years and I am always pleased with the service. His rates are reasonable and he goes above and beyond to make sure that I am happy. I do a lot of long distance driving and I am very confident that my car will function properly while on the road. It refreshing to have a mechanic that isn't going to take advantage of you. I live in San Francisco and the drive to Pacifica is well worth it. I always seem to get taken to the cleaners in SF and with Tony that's not a concern. He has proven to be very capable many times over. read more
