Spectrum Automotive

My friend recommended I take my lexus here, since my repair man is always swamped and takes a few days to get work done on the car. I brought my car in at 8am and they got me a shuttle to take me home & back, as it was going to take all day to work on my car. I got the 90k service, 2 new tires installed, and brakes & rotors replaced. Mike told me exactly what needed to be changed and did not push me to do anything & he even charged less than wheel works wanted to charge me for the brakes.
Mike is a respectable, honest, no-​nonsense mechanic, & his guys did a great job on my car.

This man is honest as honest can be. After making several calls and trying to
figure out what to do with my car, I called here because of the reviews. I do not even think he knows of this reviews.
It was 5 mins to 5:00 pm and he answered. He took time to get a tow truck to me since my car had stopped. The next day he called to let me know what was wrong with my car.
He was so attentive and detailed. This was the original problem I was told before. He went above and beyond to apologize on a second call because on the first call he did not see my car had another problem. He wanted to keep the broken part for me to see it. I knew he was right because the noise my car was doing was related to the part. He fixed the car.
What else can I say, about this place? Thank you to all of you who reviewed him, because I found this great mechanic and shop.

It’s so hard to find a car repair shop you can trust. Mike and the crew at Spectrum Automotive have been my trusted mechanics for over 10 years. Great customer service and honesty. What more can you ask for from a car repair business?

Found Spectrum on Japan Motors recommendation. I am so happy with my repairs. Mike is very honest and accommodating. He repaired my Tahoe after I spent a ton of money elsewhere and it still would die. This is a great find. Would give 10 stars if I could.

Thank god for Mike and his crew! Finally a solid mechanic that shoots straight! Great, honest guy, always makes me happy to see his smiling face. If it needs fixing or replacing, he’ll tell you. If it can wait, or isn’t serious, he won’t try and up sell you & won’t be dramatic about it. Now my boyfriend takes his car here, and my roommates too. Thanks Mike!

Spectrum is a quality shop! They are always honest, efficient & thorough. We have been bringing our BWM cars here for years & will continue to do so. I can count on them to make sure my cars are safe on the road.
Weaver’s house roasted coffee shop is right down the road. Walk down Louise St. towards the highway. It’s on the left near the corner. Perfect cup of coffee while you wait. ;)

Awesome work, friendly price, i’ll be back

My sister recommended Mike to me after I had a few follies trying to find a good honest car service place in San Rafael for my Saab. I have now been taking my car to Mike for 3 years and have always received superb service. Super knowledgeable and very honest I know my car is in good hands when I drop it off for servicing and repair, and it is great how quickly the turnaround time is for getting my car back. I highly, highly recommend Mike and Spectrum automotive. I’m very grateful my sister told me about them!

My wife and I have been loyal customers of Spectrum ever since we left the City 16 years ago! Mike is an honest, down-​to-​earth mechanic who always goes out of his way to let you know exactly what’s wrong, what the repair will cost, what your options are and how long it will take.
Our cars are both 17 years old now — they are in great shape because of Mike’s great work at a totally fair price.

Best mechanic shop in Marin. I have been bringing my cars here for about 15 years and they never do more work than is needed to get me on the road again. Very honest about what needs to be done and what can wait to be fixed down the road. Sent my girlfriend here and she was thrilled to get a lower estimate for the work needed on her Camry. Highly recommend this shop!!!

Mike in his crew did a great job telling me what was wrong, how much it wood cost in check my truck over made sure all the vitals were working right the later I didn’t ask for that service even fixed se minor ones. I like this shop even if they r a lil expensive go there u will not be bummed out

I am sooo glad that I was introduced to this place by a coworker. I had gotten a $ 4,000, or was it $ 6,000, quote for a repair on my car :(I was so upset and even began looking into buying a new car. I told a coworker about my dilemma and he suggested that I take my care to Spectrum and ask for Mike. Mike repaired my car for under $ 1,000. This is the only place we take our cars to now. If we ever move from Marin I am not sure what we are going to do. It is so difficult to find an honest and good mechanic, especially if you do not know much about cars. I highly recommend this place.

Very expensive place, poor customer service, careless attitude, lack of thoroughness. I would never go back.

Mike is great – he tells it to you straight and if you need something replaced or fixed he is truthful about it. Doesn’t try to up-​sell other services that are not necessary. Very nice people here. Kind of sketch location and not a great lobby, but it’s an auto repair shop! Overall, would go to him for any problem I have – they are great and get the job done in a reasonable amount of time.
