I worked with Dean at Wayside Garage and the entire experience was great. Very friendly people to talk to and work with, and was able to do the work I needed in a very timely manner. I was also very impressed with their full inspection and transparent process through it all. Service: Air conditioning

Great customer service! My appointment had to be pushed back because a family member went to the hospital, and everyone was extremely accommodating! They give you a full report on your car, so you can actually see what they are talking about instead of just taking someones word for it. I'll definitely be going back :) Services: Air conditioning, Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change, Air & cabin filter replacement, Tires

Friendly reception, great mechanics. Service: Oil change

I had a check engine light and brought it in to have it looked at. They honored a postcard coupon I brought in for a free check engine light. Dean took great care of me, advising me of what was needed once they were able to get under the hood. He advised me of all the steps they would take to get it fixed. They emailed and texted me the digital inspection report which as great. They even followed up with a phone call to go over it with me as well, giving me the cost as well. Excellent communication throughout the entire process! I will recommend them and I will return there again! Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change

By far this was the second greatest mechanic experience I have had, which is incredible. Wayside Garage raised the bar as far as i'm concerned. I felt the prices they charged were fair and their transparency was crystal. Amazing report, explained everything to a car-dunce such as myself, and were incredibly friendly. I'm naturally cautious (having watched way to many youtube and news videos about scams and ripping you off) but I didn't feel that way at wayside. They are busy, but got everything done the same day I brought it in. they were a referral, and one of the best ones yet. I'll be taking my car to wayside for the remainder of my time here. I am satisfied with my care. Services: Oil change, Air & cabin filter replacement, Electrical repair, Brakes, Wheel alignment, Tires

Dean was AWESOME! Kept me up to date and informed me every step of the way while my car was at Wayside Garage. He was very informative and professional. I will continue to bring my car here for service repairs. Service: Electrical repair

I have used Wayside to do my yearly inspection for the past 2 years without issue. However, recently I had an issue with my turn signals in the front not working properly. I am extremely disappointed with their diagnosis of my issue. They indicated that I had a faulty socket for both my signals. I was under a time crunch as I was moving out of state, so they provided me with a part number so I could order my own part and have my father-in-law do the installation (he is a mechanic). Two things happened: #1 Wayside gave me the wrong part number (thankfully, the parts department at the garage I went to caught the error and found the right one). #2 They improperly diagnosed my issue. My father-in-law noticed right away that the sockets were fine, and saw that there was squirrel feces inside the hood and a squirrel had actually eaten through the cable. Being that there are the ground squirrels all over the area in Monterey, this should have been obvious. I am upset they cost me $200 plus to diagnose this incorrectly and would have charged me over $400 plus to not fix my issue at all. Service: Electrical
