Marin Automotive

What a great experience! I needed a smog check fast, and Daniel and his team accommodated my tight schedule, and did the whole thing in a completely friendly and professional way.

I cannot recommend a more trustworthy, earnest and responsible auto mechanic than Daniel at Marin Automotive. There have been numerous times over the past 3 years when my cars have broken down or haven’t passed smog without some extra work needed. Daniel has always helped me tremendously and gotten me back on the road as quickly as possible. I am so happy to have found a mechanic I trust!

They are great. Daniel explained everything clearly. He worked within my budget. Saved me from public transportation once again.

Daniel at Marin Automotive takes care of all three of our cars. He is such a nice guy, and his prices are fair. He does not look for «extra stuff» to charge for. He has gone to bat for us on two different warranty issues with Toyota. We prevailed both times! He’s a good guy and they do good work in a very convenient location.

Let’s face it… none of us LIKES getting our car fixed… but when stellar customer service meets fair and honest work and decent pricing, then it almost becomes a pleasure to get an oil change! Drive now to see Daniel and the crew at Marin Automotive-​or better yet, make an appointment on line! It’s easy and your car will leave humming! I LOVE this place! Thank you, Daniel!

We moved to the area about two years ago and could not be happier to find a local mechanic like Daniel Costa of Marin Automotive. He is a gifted mechanic and much more than that. He takes care of his customers and goes the extra mile.
My car had a systemic radiator failure up in the hills of Northen California and I ended up back in Healdsburg at a random shop. Guys there were ok but could not solve my problem and were about to start a costly water pump replacement on my 92 Pathfinder. I was beyond stuck. I reached out to Daniel who has worked on the car before and even warned me about the radiator getting old and to watch it… and he arranged for a free tow over 50 miles and was able to fix my problem. which was not the water pump after all, saving me so much money and hassle. Besides that, my car runs AWESOME since he laid hands on it and has been taking care of it.
He never does things that are unnecessary and even tells me ahead of time to watch this or next time we can do that. he is honest and fair. He is very professional and a pleasure to get to know.
I can not recommend him enough

We just brought our car with a heap of troubles in, and Daniel was on it in a flash. Trustworthy, efficient, competent and reasonably priced — Marin Automotive is our new mechanic of choice. Love keeping my business in Fairfax!

Daniel and his great team deliver prompt, reliable, and friendly service. Daniel is a wonderfully honest mechanic who does thorough comprehensive work you can afford. It’s hard to find someone u trust in this field when u dont know too much about it. I trust daniel wholeheartedly and respect and appreciate the quality of his work as well as his friendly & genuine rapport with his staff & customers. I’m so happy he has his own shop!
