Oliver Automotive is the ONLY place I take my car(s).  He is the most honest and trustworthy mechanic anywhere. His prices are very reasonable and is very professional.  My entire family goes to Oliver Automotive.  My friends go to Oliver Automotive and they don't even live in Novato (neither does half of my family!)  He's worth the trip to Novato to be sure you are getting the BEST! If something doesn't need to be done right away, he'll let you know, but will advise you that in the near future whatever it is needs to be replaced.  I stopped by on my way out of town with a trailer hooked up to my truck.  I wanted to be sure all was hooked up right (I'm a single woman who doesn't know much about cars), Mike saw a nut missing on my sway bar, ran down to a shop that would have the size nut that was needed for a trailer and came back and put it on the trailer.  Who else does that?!  I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!! – SB (5 star review found on Yelp)
