What customers say

“Was recommended by my Uncle and my Dodge Challenger car has not had any issues since! Triple AAA recommends them too so you know you're getting superb thorough work done. I highly recommend them and I'll refer anyone and everyone to get their car worked on too. Want honest mechanics? Then look no further, thank you San Marino Auto Services for quality work and going over and beyond! Thank you again.”

“I received great service at San Marino Auto Service. My 21 year old car needed a new transmission which was replaced at a fair price and within 4 days. The owner is very friendly and he kept me informed on my car's status almost daily. I'm happy to say my car is now working great.”

Kathleen Lennox
