Marin Car Clinic

My husband won’t let me take my Prius to any Jiffy Lube-​type places to get my oil changed. He says he knows too many people who have worked at them, so he was having me drive up to Petaluma to Hybrid Haven for oil changes and routine maintenance. They were great, but expensive and a long drive from San Rafael. When I got my latest Prius, the dealer suggested Marin Car Clinic instead. They would take great care of me for low prices. And he was definitely right! Low prices, very nice employees, and very honest service, which is important for me as a younger female who doesn’t know a lot about cars. They always go above and beyond. The only thing to be prepared for is that the parking lot is kind of a mess and hard to get in/​out of, and also it takes a bit longer than you’d expect. Just plan ahead to leave your car there for the day.

Honest and so Reasonable! I used to use Marin car clinic in the past, but completely had forgotten about them. The owners are super sweet and HONEST! The sonnen BMW was going to charge me over 4x than what Marin car clinic charged for my break pads. It is unbelievable how much Sonnen charges vs here. They keep the customers happy, car ready when they say it will. Why wouldn’t I use them again. Anybody has a mechanical problem this place is it.

This is a fantastic shop. They are fair and reasonable. The estimate I got from the dealer for the mechanical work that I needed done was over double what I ultimately payed at Marin Car Clinic. And it was done in one day.

This guy was my saving grace, when I thought there was no hope and I should just shoot my car and put it out of its misery. My 1991 Mazda Miata was about to go out to pasture when it broke down, and I was told it was the engine. The last «tire kicker» that came to look at her pissed me off so much that I had the car towed down to this shop to get another honest opinion. As it turns out, the car only needed an AC Compressor & $ 350 later, my car is back on the road! I almost gave up, and spent way too much buying something new. These guys are HONEST, and very kind. I would highly recommend them to any of my friends and family.

Super friendly and professional service. Good people run this place.

I’ve been taking all of my cars here for the last 10 years. They’re always extremely fast, fairly priced, and 100% honest. I haven’t once felt like I got hosed.

Honest car repair at honest prices. what else needs to be said?
OK, fine. I’ve only been here twice and both times I was not in a hurry for a repair. Both times the car was fixed properly and at a reasonable price compared to the stealership routine.
I have a VW TDI Diesel and not everyone can work on those as they are different in many ways. MCC came recommended and did a very good job both times on diesel specific fixes. I’ll return here.

One Saturday, I was hunting high and low for a place that was open and reliable.
I found a few on Unilocal and Yellow pages, but most were closed. The one that were open had so so reputation.
I called a few dealers and one recommended this place (which is usually a good sign since dealers don’t want to deal with problematic repair shops).
Called, got an appointment, and 3 – 4 hrs later my car was fixed (window wasn’t coming up/​down anymore)
I’d recommend this place for fast, reasonable service and open on Saturday!
