Yarnell Service Center 81 Pioneer Way, Mountain View, CA 94041

"I have been coming to Yarnells’s since 1997 when I bought my first car and still continue to come here. Love the staff, the ease of scheduling and the fast and honest service. I know my cars have lasted as long as they have (until I have gotten bored and sold them ) because of them. Yarnells is like a spa check in for your car. Ps: they have dogs and the most mild tempered and non bothering babies. So please drive in carefully and don’t forget to pet them. They love some attention"

"Highly recommend by a friend. They exceeded expectations. Friendly and affordable. I will definitely continue to support this business. You should too."

"I've been using Yarnell's for nearly 15 years now and I can't believe this is the first time I'm writing a review. They're, in a word, flawless... by far the most honest and efficient car mechanics out there. Latest example - I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey that I brought in for 2 major issues. First is an electrical issue where all car instruments / dashboard turned off in the in the middle of driving - which lead me to think I have an alternator issue. I told them the symptom and even suggested to replace the alternator. Many other mechanics would have just done as I asked - but Yarnell went beyond that. They used their expert knowledge to figure out the alternator is still good. The issue turned out to be a loose connection at the battery terminals - which they just helped me tighten. $40 vs $600+. Second issue is a bad vibration while going above 60 mph while accelerating. It wasn't an easy issue to diagnose and it doesn't even seem to happen all the time. I told them again the symptom and they initially found an issue with worn-out engine mount. But before going ahead with that expensive repair ($1000+), they asked their head technician for a second opinion. Apparantly, he took it out for a drive and diagnosed it to a worn CV axle issue. Again - diagnosing the right issue and the repair cost being much cheaper ($375) than the alternative. I don't mind paying the right amount for the correct repair - the one thing I do mind is not diagnosing the right problem and/or wasting time with costly repairs. And Yarnell takes very good care not to do any of that. They diagnose the right problem (even very difficult ones) and fix it right the first time. The only thing to watch out for is they focus only on Japanese cars and don't service American cars (I'm not sure about Kia/Hyundai). So this is actually a major deciding factor for my next car - it'll likely have to be Japanese so I can keep using Yarnell. Oh lastly - they don't open on Mondays - to take care of their employees so they can work 4-day weeks. Kinda amazing - but being how efficient they are, it makes sense too."

"I've been bringing my cars to Yarnells for like a decade and they are hands down the best mechanics. Very skilled and honest and they help me find the best price on all things car related (which is great because I need help). Very nice people too. They feel like family by now. Specialize in Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Honda and Suburu. Cannot recommend them enough."
