The Neighbor's Kid Auto Repair

"My fiance went there to get a quote, and after giving him an estimate over the phone, the in person quote came back THOUSANDS higher. We understand completely things come up once you get into the vehicle, but when asked about the discrepancy the owner became incredibly defensive and aggressive, coming to the point of even using profanity. These people are shady and unprofessional, I would avoid them at all costs if you want to be treated civilly, definitely strike me as people out to take advantage and over charge any chance they can get."

"Very nice employees, Zach especially is always fun to talk to, probably the last honest mechanic around. Helped me fix my truck, and helped me get the parts when I wanted to fix it myself while answering my questions. 100% recommend"

"What an AMAZING find! I was in town on the Friday before New Year's from Los Angeles, when the check engine light went on in my car. I was going to wait to get it fixed, because I didn't think anyone would be working so close to New Year's. Erik answered the phone though and was ready to help. His meticulous diagnostics and repairs made my 2006 Toyota Corola run like new! He explained everything to me in detail, and even took photos of the problem for me to take to my home mechanic, who had over-torqued the screw on the gasket cover. This meant that oil was spewing all over my engine. I had been driving a time bomb. Not only did Erik fix it, he also power washed my engine. What service! Now my car drives like never before. He also surprised me by fixing the clock, which hadn't worked in years. The pricing was more than fair, and his work was precise, as well as efficient. He was so good, that from now on I'll be driving up to visit my friend in Sebastopol and having Erik work on my car while I'm there. The garage that he runs with his equally accomplished son is a real gem!"

"I dont write a lot of reviews but had to provide one for The Neighbor's Kid Auto Repair. Finding a qualified, dependable, reasonable auto repair shop[ is a challenge. I had used several others in the Sebastopol area in the past few years and was generally dissatisfied with almost all. I recently had the need to replace the alternator and perform some electrical work on an old Subaru and this shop had good reviews on NextDoor so I gave them a try. They were a delight - curteous, helpful, completed the work on time, very reasonably priced, and left me very satisfied. So when my truck would not start over the holidays, and they offered to get me in for a look, I had it towed there. They addressed my problem and also did some overdue maintenance work inc;luding tune-up, gaskets replacement, belt replacement, etc. and the truck runs better than ever, and at a price less than I was quoted by another local shop for just the tune-up. I am taking my wife's car there next week for a brake job. Great people and work!"

"Such a fabulous service! Peppy, my little 2004 Honda Coup, needed her periodic oil change and tire rotation, but The Neighbor’s Kid took excellent customer care to the next level when they identified and fixed serious issues with Peppy’s suspension. By the time she came home, Peppy sounded and rode like a much newer car! Thanks, Zack and his stellar crew for exceptional work!"
