Half Moon Bay Auto Repair 149 Main Street, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019

"IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY this is Not the place, don't waste your time or their time, they're ALWAYS BUSY ...they have an abundance of work, they don't need you or care about your EMERGENCY issues, so go elsewhere. .... they have tons of work, so if you have an emergency DO NOT, come here!"

"My surprise when I tried to start the car for a trip down highway 1 to Santa Cruz, when the Steering wheel said, NO! I had it towed to Half Moon Bay Auto Repair and just now picked it up. The mechanic/s did a wonderful job with a difficult repair project, which amounted to a bit more surprises. They kept within the price I was quoted, and I'm so happy with their work. When you need a repair job, check out HMB Auto Repair. They are located in back of Ace Hardware. Good Job ! Thank you!!!!"

"Sometimes you need to go to a dealership or body shop for factory or auto body… for everything else, these guys are the best. Super friendly, and competitive pricing. Big shout out to Cody for taking such good care of my mustang. I have all of my regular maintenance done here for all of my cars, and they’ve even done some light performance part installs for me. 10/10 and definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good shop on the coast. For additional reference, one of my cars required a factory reprogramming of the ECU which HMB diagnosed for me. When my car (with 120k+ miles, mind you) went to the dealer, they sent it home with an otherwise immaculate bill of health thanks to HMB auto repair. Keep up the great work! You’ve got a lifetime customer in me."

"This place as proven time and time again to be a money suck as well as a time suck. Every time I bring my car here for one thing that should be a quick fix it turns in to a multi day dance of "oh while fixing that we found..". The customer service is B+ and makes it hard for one snap on them for upselling you every chance they get. I have found it might be better to just re tow your car to anywhere else in town. For convenience of getting your car back within the week and not paying a ton for the labor charges they decided your vehicle needed. When your problem is a simple fix of just having the car start. *car is a 82 el Camino for reference on how basic each fix should be* *edit hours later to one star because i was given my car back with a broken ignition switch and now can only be turned off and on with needle nose plier. Lol and some how free of charge for making my car worse....nice.* I still have no idea how you fix the small problem and in turn destroy the way a car normally turns on and off *another edit: while taking apart my car for no reason and destroying the key ignition they somehow managed to disconnect my headlights. Amazing, how?? . I'm so offended at this shop and their business practices Just got kicked out of this shop for my yelp review on 3/6/17 and the owner refused to fix what his employees broke. I even called ahead saying I will drop off and expect the things to work like before. Because why would I need headlights and the ability to start my car with the keys and not pliers also here's a photo of me being refused service"
