Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an appointment or can I just drop by?
We recommend calling ahead (707-861-9583) to schedule an appointment so we can allocate proper time for your vehicle. However, we do keep one bay available daily for walk-ins and emergencies. For urgent issues, call us—we’ll do our best to fit you in same day.
How long does it take to get an appointment?
Most customers can get appointments within 2-3 business days. For urgent issues (check engine light, brake problems, overheating), we typically get you in same day or next day. Complex jobs requiring special parts may take longer to schedule.
What should I bring when I drop off my car?
Just your keys and a description of the problem. If you have maintenance records showing recent work, those can be helpful but aren’t required. Remove any valuables from your vehicle before drop-off.
Do you offer pickup and drop-off service?
Yes! We offer FREE pickup and drop-off service for customers in Sebastopol and the immediate West County area. This is especially helpful if your car won’t start or you don’t have transportation. Just ask when scheduling your appointment.
Can I wait while you work on my car?
For quick services (oil changes, minor diagnostics), yes—we have a comfortable waiting area with WiFi. For larger repairs that take several hours, most customers prefer to be dropped off at home or work (free service) or use our shuttle.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, all major credit cards, and offer financing through NAPA EasyPay and Synchrony for larger repairs. Payment is due when you pick up your vehicle.
Do you provide estimates before doing work?
Absolutely. We always provide written estimates before beginning any work. We explain what’s wrong, what needs to be fixed, and exactly what it will cost. We never perform work without your explicit approval. No surprises, no hidden fees.
What if you find additional problems during the repair?
We’ll contact you immediately to discuss the additional issues, explain why they matter, and provide pricing before doing any extra work. You always have the final say on what gets repaired.
