Seaside Auto Repair

GREAT REPAIR SHOP. I feel very comfortable taking my SUV there. Stacy is very honest and friendly,takes care of my car like if it was her. Her husband and mechanics are the best in monterey bay. Great with last minute appointments. Hope I'll never have to stop going there.

I have had my truck repaired here as well as my brother in Laws car! It has always been Great Customer Service and the Communication is Awesome! There is now crazy overpriced labor costs or parts cost! Very Honest Business. Will do business here again!

Always a good experience at Wayside. Tracy's great at scheduling appointments and communicating what's going on. The repairs are made in a very timely fashion and they are well done the first time. The garage is very clean and the work done is above average. Sam found that I was missing a transmission oil cap (purchased a used car) and he replaced it for me - he happened to have one at the shop from a similar vehicle. Nice touch! Not only great service but really, really nice humans.

Do not go here!! This shop is for people with more money than sense. I took my car here because of a check engine light and needed a smog test. They smog tested me knowing it was going to fail and Stacy said that is how they run their diagnostics. No, that is how you meet your STAR quota. I have no doubt that Stacy knows what she is talking about, but she failed to realize I am an engineer and I do as well. $500 later of just testing my check engine light I decide to take it to a different shop. The other shop informed me that what Wayside is doing is illegal and unethical. Wayside quoted me at $1300 on top of the $500 ($1800 total) to fix my car- mind you I have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra with 250k miles on it and the car isn't even worth that much, I just needed to get tags to give to my brother in basic training. The other shop informed me that my car needed completely different work done and 3x less than the quote Wayside gave me. If I didn't have to work, I would be outside this shop picket fencing warning other potential customers. They are an example of who gives car shops a bad name and should not be in business in our amazing community of Monterey. Was quoted for repairs not needed for my car and was not given a refund, owner's mother personally attacked me on social media stating I was "pathetic" and "showing (my) stupidity". Terrible shop!

Stacy and Sam made our experience great! Looking forward to referring them to friends and family!

In response to Melody Driver, stating that I personally attacked her on social media, my responses to her were only because of her false accusations towards me, and, for her using and posting a picture of my granddaughters in her rude comments. As stated, not every business is for every person, and I wish her well. But she needs to "check herself before she wrecks herself" next time she decides to attack anyone on the internet or violate any laws by posting photos of minor children.

Very smooth and friendly operation! I really appreciate their straight forward and professional approach. They know what they are doing and it shows. Keep up the good work!

Had a 50K check done on our VW Tiguan and am very pleased. A slight glitch when they added a bit too much oil on the oil change, but Stacey and Sam hustled to make it right. (I of course have never made a minor error on anything...). Wouldn't hesitate to go back. They're good people, and thorough and professional in what they do. And Stacey drives a VW, so... I'm just sayin'...
