We broke down far from home and were towed here. What luck! Mike was very professional and did not take advantage of the fact that we were at his mercy. Keep being honest. It is so appreciated!! - Shari N (5 star review found on Yelp)

Take your car to them. – Robin H (5 star review found on Yelp)

I have been going to Oliver's since I was 17 years old, I am now 33. He was a friend of my Auto shop teacher at the time I attended Terra Linda High school. Mike is a true man of integrity. A very honest man who has always worked his tail off to make whatever project I put in front of him result in a success. He has worked on every relic to modern car I or my entire family have owned over the last 16 years. I would trust Mike on any repair to be honest, and diligent in meeting my expectations for quality and turnaround time. Truly one of the best mechanics in the Bay Area. I currently live in Oakland and still drive the distance to go to Oliver's. He truly is that good. He is priced fairly and will get the job done! Sure you might find a cheaper mechanic somewhere but I doubt they'll stand up to Mike a true professional. – Robin M (5 star review found on Yelp)

Mike is a very professional and excellent mechanic but more importantly he is honest and fair.  Mike was able fix a brake locking issue on my 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT that 3 other mechanic could not fix.  Mike diagnosed the problem quickly and explain what the problem was and steps to correct the problem.  After the repair, brakes work like new.  I now bring all my cars to Oliver's. – Humphrey C (5 star review found on Yelp)

These guys make you feel right at home like they are family. Love the quality and knowledge here. You could learn a few things from these guys if you pay enough attention. Highly recommended and it shows. – MR (5 star review found on Yelp)

Oliver Automotive is fantastic. Honest guys who do a great job, and the customer service is exceptional! – Ben Z (5 star review found on Yelp)

Oliver Automotive is the only mechanic shop in Marin County that I trust. When my Jeep recently broke down in San Francisco, I had it towed all the way to Oliver Automotive for repair. The owner, Mike, is honest and very clear with what work needs to be done. Within 2 days, he had my car up and running! Pricing was extremely fair and reasonable. His front desk staff is very nice and business professional. Highly recommend. – Nicholas B (5 star review found on Yelp)

I was having some trouble with my brakes and had my Camry towed in to Novato Toyota. The dealerships tried to convince me that I needed 4 new pads, 4 new rotors and 4 new calipers. Something didn't seem right about it and I drove in to Oliver Automotive. Since I was about 150 miles from home, they reshuffled their scheduled work to get me in to look at it. Within 90 minutes, they had confirmed my suspicions, that the dealership service department had been WAY off base (downright unethical in my perspective, but I'll save that for a different Yelp review!). All my car needed was rear pads and rotors. Oliver Automotive saved me $1,800 from what the dealership tried to sell me for the same condition. While inspecting the car Oliver Automotive found that my water pump was leaking and replaced that as well. I'd have likely been stranded again, or perhaps worse, on my drive home had they not caught that.  As honorable as they come. Thanks Mike (and Tammy too). – Ted S (5 star review found on Yelp)
