About
Top Quality Service–Since 1946
The ASE Master Techs at Wayside Garage offer the comfort and assurance you deserve with any repair shop inquiry. A professional and courteous staff will greet you and welcome you and walk you through the vehicle repair process. When you come to our shop, we spend a significant amount of time getting to know you and your vehicle’s needs. We’re serving people, not just servicing cars. It matters to us what you think and feel about your Wayside service experience. This is a customer-first, customers-always-right type of facility. We go above and beyond to meet and exceed all of your expectations. Our dedicated customers keep coming back to us because they know we leave their vehicle in the best condition possible. Nobody wants unexpected repair costs, but you really don’t want an unexpected breakdown. We never want you to be caught by surprise. That’s why a consistent service plan at Wayside Garage is so valuable. We make sure you expect every maintenance service appointment because it’s a part of an approved service plan. The other guys will hustle unnecessary repair costs out of your pocket, but Wayside Garage values its customers way too much for that. A careful and correct diagnosis of your vehicle can always be expected. We’re happy, only when you’re happy.
Community involvement is important to Wayside Garage’s auto repair. We’ve been at our quality auto services since 1946. Our customers are like family. And we hate to say like anything, because we’ve seen each other grow up, get married, have children, and grandchildren throughout the generations. In the meantime, we’ve established a reputation for quality auto repairs and maintenance to go with our excellent customer service. We love and appreciate our customers most. They’re what make doing what we love so worthwhile. Bringing a smile to your face and seeing the relief in your eyes after a complete and affordable repair service is best part of our day. There are a variety of places in this area, to which customers can’t wait to travel. Get ready for the weekend with a quick stop to Wayside Garage. Our beautiful locale near bike and walking paths remind every one of the natural destinations that are a short drive away. Make sure your vehicle is always ready for a trip to the beach! We also volunteer our time at youth organizations like Pop Warner Cheerleaders, Carmel Academy of Performing Arts, and Dance Kids of Monterey County.

From the Owners
Wayside Garage is owned and operated by Sam Diaz and Stacey Diaz. Not only are we local, but we are a second-generation family owned business and proud to be one of the longest running businesses on the Monterey Peninsula. Sam is a dealership trained Technician and a Master Automotive Service Excellence Certified Technician. Our technicians have a combined thirty-five plus years’ experience. We completed many hours of technical training classes to improve our technical skills. Our service manager Stacey has been here for over 30 years and is an Automotive Service Excellence Certified Service Consultant. She has also been a State Certified Smog Inspector in the past. She is continually completing personal and business development programs that expand her customer service skills. After many years of working for the family and the sale of our old building, we decided it was time to find a new home. In June of 2014, we moved from Seaside to Monterey to continue the legacy that is Wayside Garage. We wanted to continue to provide exceptional customer service, precise repairs, and a relaxed no pressure atmosphere for our current and new customers. We want to build relationships that last, by showing honesty and integrity.
