Marvin and Carlos and their team are fantastic! They went above and beyond to diagnose my sick car and returned her to me in sound condition. I will refer family and friends to Vale. Thank you, Team! read more

Best spot in the Bay Area. The guys have helped me out big time on multiple occasions. Recently came in because I thought I had stripped a bolt in the engine but after 10 minutes they had my issue resolved and didn't even charge a dollar. Super understanding and great service, thanks! read more

Excellent service and really kind humans! They've helped me on a number of occasions including re-starting my battery when I was stuck at a nearby grocery store. I called and the owner came to me within 5 minutes and didn't charge me anything for his help! I will continue to go them for all my auto care! read more

I am infinitely grateful for Carlos and his team. You can tell from the first interaction how genuine and high quality Vale Auto Repair truly is, and to have your vehicle serviced here is a blessing. What I can speak to is the thoughtfulness, genuineness, reliability, and focus this team has. What I cannot speak on is the price, and that is because the work Carlos did was both exceptional, and free of charge. I had a 1996 Ford E-250 I had just bought which was leaking coolant, showing check engine, and rattling with engine ticking on my first day of owning it. Upon finding this, I immediately stopped driving it, and began considering returning it (as the dealership had returns as an option within 48 hours of purchasing). I wanted to get a full view of the cars issues, but I only had 5 more hours to make the call, so I called numerous mechanics who said they didn't have openings for days or weeks. Carlos told me to come by in 2 hours, which was the first notable action. I arrived early, and he and his team immediately began working on my car to find the issues, which was, again, exceptional service. Carlos found the radiator was busted, and said he could check the rest of the vehicle, but if I wanted the car running again today, we'd have to order the radiator right then so that it would arrive on time, and they could install it that day. He agreed to order the part, and check the rest of the van in the meantime. If everything checked out, he would install the part and have me on my way by 3pm. The willingness and dedication from these gentlemen was exactly what I needed in my time of need. Ultimately, I decided to return the van due to issues with both the van and the dealer, so after Carlos did research on my particular van, a full vehicle inspection, and diagnosed my radiator, I asked how much I owed. He said nothing, as he hadn't done any actual work on the vehicle. Other mechanics quoted me $120+ for the diagnosis I was looking for if I scheduled a week in advance, and these guys did it same day for free. With their effort and willingness, you can tell they truly care about what they're doing and making sure their customers leave happy, which is exactly what I needed in my time of desperation. Easiest 5 stars I could give, thank you to Carlos and his team! read more

They are great! Very trustworthy and honest. Don't overcharge and have helped us a ton over the years!

My car wouldn't start b/c of the engine . I called this mechanics shop and within minutes they were able to restart my car , let me know what I need to change and get fixed. I honestly appreciate they were able work n get here quickly since I was almost off from my job . Would definitely recommend. read more

We purchased a car from Vale Auto in January 2020 and had a great experience. Carlos and the staff there were helpful when we made our first visit to see the car, provided us with vehicle history and were clear about the work and maintenance they'd done. Purchasing went smoothly, they take care of vehicle registration and signing other paperwork was fast, and we paid a fair price! In a really great turn, within a couple of days after buying we noticed that the CV axle on our vehicle needed replacement - we called Carlos and within 2 days he'd ordered and replaced the part, at no cost to us. We'd definitely recommend Vale Auto if you're interested in buying a vehicle here or looking to have some service done on your car! read more

So, this update is due to the fact that Carlos did start the repair process quickly. He sent his people to my house to retrieve the van and diagnose the transmission issue. I was promised a BRAND NEW transmission, and believed that that was what I received, but once I received a copy of his receipt, it is obvious that the transmission is remanufactured. No biggie, but I don't appreciate the lie. Wing window bolt was installed; both at no charge to me. Front turn signal still not working even after I replaced the bulb so I can only assume that there is some electrical malfunction since I am not a mechanic, back up sensors not functioning either. Lesson learned, I will buy new going forward. read more

About 2 years ago I purchased my car at Vale Auto Sales with the guidance of the wonderful and professional folks there. Since then, whenever I need a tuneup or oil change, Vale Auto Repair never fails. They're reliable, quick and also provide affordable prices for their services. The staff there have made my job at maintaining my car very easy for me. It's a quick stop and roll. Thanks Vale Auto Repair! read more

Vale helped me out in a pinch. I had driven from Santa Rosa into town to meet friends in Novato when my check engine light came on. I was worried about driving home without knowing how serious it was. Vale was able to do a quick diagnostic to see what the issue was; and sent me on my way with some good information; and no charge ! Thanks guys. read more

I bought a car from Vale Auto a year ago and I had an excellent experience.

Today my family and I only bring our cars to Vale Auto Repair for all of the services we need and Carlos never disappoint us. I definitely recommend this place as a reliable, trustworthy and quality professional to either buy a car or do any car services. read more

The best mechanics in town by far. Thank you for a quick estimate, and getting and installing a part I needed so fast. Highly recommend!

My husband and I were new to Marin county when thankfully god put Carlos and his team on our path. We began to do business with Carlos when my husbands recently purchased car completely completely broke down. The repair on our previous car was so expensive we decided to purchase a used car from Carlos which has been one of the best decisions we ever made car wise. When The time came I also bought my car from Vale Auto, and am so thankful I did. As long as your willing to be patient Carlos will find you just the right vehicle following your specifications at a fair price. The best part is should any issue arise Vale will also be your mechanic, which is really helpful when you don't have any backyard mechanic skills like my husband and myself! Perhaps the most important point that I want to convey is the transparency, integrity and hard work the Carlos and his staff put into the work that they do, and it shows. To have a trustworthy mechanic/car dealer at a reasonable price is truly a blessing and we are thankful to have that in Vale Auto Repair. Thanks guys! read more
