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)
Mike and his team were amazing! A bit of an odd gremlin has popped up in our old Mustang and after no luck with the dealership a neighbor recommended we bring it to Mike. Mike really took the time to investigate the issue and communicated very well the entire way. He even took time out of his schedule to drive with my husband to see if they could replicate the issue. Mike and his team took some proactive steps to check some sensors and various things to try to rule out the cause and help ensure the gremlin doesn't pop up again. From the ease of getting an appointment to the quick action and awesome communication, we will be going to Oliver automotive again! – Linda Y (5 star review found on Yelp)
I received such honesty from the folks at Oliver Automotive. True above and beyond service. I would recommend this place hands down to anyone in the Bay Area looking for great auto repair. - Oletha N (5 star review found on Yelp)
Excellent. Mike has been servicing all our cars for over 15 years. We know he is always honest and gives awesome service. When our kids were in high school, they could bring their cars by if something funny was happening and he would make it safe and give us a call. One employee even checked out our daughter's car before she headed to Tahoe since her dad wasn't home at the exact second she needed to go! He has also referred us to body shops, smog and oil places and boat repair. – Nicole G (5 star review found on Yelp)
