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)

Once again, superb service and work. My wife and I have used Mike for years on three vehicles, and have been delighted with his performance. Examples of past repairs: Engine replacement,Timing belts, Shocks and struts, Brake repairs, Tune-ups. Before you go anywhere else, give Mike a call to get an estimate. - Anonymous (5 star review found on Angie's List)

Diagnosed problem quickly, even though I did not have an appointment. Ordered necessary part and repair was done within 12 hrs. - Anonymous (5 star review found on Angie's List)
