Engine Room Greg Solow's

I've been a customer at the Engine Room for over 10 years now. They worked on my old Honda, and now on my Nissan. It's got over 300k on it, and still runs smoothly.

My wife likes that they'll explain things to a woman. I like that when they fix it, it's done correctly.

They're good on the big stuff, engines, suspension, brakes. As I've mentioned to them before, they're good, but not cheap.

Patrick and Peter are great mechanics, friendly to talk to, and very competent.

Also, there's a Hertz 2 blocks away, where they get me a good discount, as I only have one car (the Nissan).

They're down at the bottom of the mall, about a block before Pacific hits Front St., in the back.

I think one of the reasons this place is so good, is that they actually like to work on cars. I've driven by on weekends, and you can see them in there, tinkering with some old classic car (the owner has Morgans), so on their off days, they're frequently working on their own projects. It's more than a job to them.

I'm not related in any way to anyone who works there,except as a customer, and they don't even know I'm doing this review.

Also, the phone number listed here is wrong. It should be 831-429-1800.

Good luck, but I'm sure you'll be pleased.

I took a car I was looking to buy to Greg. His staff was very friendly and was able to fit me in on short notice. They were also very detailed in their inspection of the car. I would take a car there for service.
