Feb. 7, 2020 at 11:15 am: Had to catch my flight back from SFO to Europe within 3 hours, my rented car made problems ("engine warning"), the car took less and less gas at the highway. Mike and his office assistant quickly helped me contacting the rental company which promised to send help but with uncertain timing. At the same time Mike checked the car and solved the problem, just asked me to test the car around the block - solved. I got to SFO quite on time! - THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BOTH OF YOU HELPING ME OUT OF MY TIME TROUBLE - AND VERY MINDFUL AND ACCOMMODATING! They even did not want money for it. - Kurt N (5 star review found on Google)

I’ve been going to Oliver Automotive for several years now after switching from the dealership service shops. Not only do I feel like they have fair prices for their services but also they are transparent, they communicate and I trust them. - Pete S (5 star review found on Google)

Standard competitive rate and knowledgeable etc. But more importantly: they had a space for me in their schedule at a rare time that I didn't need my car. - AS (5 star review found on Google)

Great service shop in Novato. Expert repair and less than dealership prices. Easy process for drop-off and pick-up. Works with warranty and is a longtime shop for our cars new and old. - Dennis T (5 star review found on Google)

Lady with car hood up - steam rising

Sometimes it is EASY to see if your car or truck needs to come into our shop for professional repairs! 
1.  You see steam rising from the engine!
2.  The Check Engine Light is on!
3.  The engine starts, but there is an odor that is not right.
4.  You hear grinding or thumping noises.

I have used Oliver Automotive consistently over the years for all my automotive work. They are local. I really like that they are not alarmists. I've gone in thinking I had a huge engine problem and he will call back in a couple of hours and say that it is a $38 part and not to worry about it and he will put it in. He will put in headlights and not charge for them. We have sent them lots of customers and they have been very pleased. He is a hard worker and he has a great old dog named Socket. They are great people. I trust him. They are honest and they have a clean shop. His standards are very, very high for his employees. He's a great guy. - Anonymous (5 star review found Angie's List)
