Seaside Auto Repair

The Wayside Garage folk are stellar—friendly, honest, and competent. I took my aging (2001, 380K mi) Honda Insight to them for a check engine light problem. And although the code said the catalytic converter was malfunctioning, they advised that the engine itself might be the root problem. (No need to just replace the cat if it's the engine.) So they ran compression and leak tests—both passed—before giving me the bad news about replacing the converters (didn't know there were two): OEM converters are no longer available, and aftermarket require welding. Although I haven't yet decided whether to have the work done or finally buy a new car, if it's the former, I'll have Wayside do it. Yes, I definitely recommend them.

They treat your car like it's their own. They treat you like family. Need I say anymore.

Everyone is amazing and patient Brandon took the time to explain the issues and process of repair. Made the whole experience super convenient for me and fast turn around.

The staff at Wayside were SO kind and helpful. I had a problem with my car and they were able to fix it on the same day, even gave me a ride back to work while they worked on my car and picked me up from work to pick up my car. They were so friendly and kind and even gave me a care package with snacks, water, hand cream and a pen. I could not be more grateful for the service they provide!

Jacob and Brandon always take good care of me. I typically do all of my own maintenance and repairs on my vehicles, but there are a few things that I either don’t have the equipment for or that I just don’t want to do. It’s also nice to have someone I can trust to double check my diagnostics or just tell me about work that needs to be done that I may have overlooked. This last time in I just needed a simple oil change, but they also tested the brake fluid and it was past due for a change. I needed my car back quickly for afternoon errands so I was going to have to wait, but the tech got the brake flush done in less than 20 mins. Just an awesome group of people at a great shop that works hard to take care of their customers by keeping their cars running well and safe.

Staff was very friendly and efficient. Works that was done was very professional and documentation of work was very fully described. I trust my car with Wayside Garage, Very Very Professional and excellent work accomplished.

Easy efficient appointment scheduling. No waiting times. Friendly explanations of estimates. Free ride to/from work/home if its all day or over night. Maintenance + rewards programs are innovative and worthwhile.

They always treat you and your vehicle like family.

When I ran into problem with my Eco diesel, they were quick accommodating and very professional. They kept me informed about the process and what was going on by vehicle the whole time. Very personable. Highly recommend them.
