They did exactly what I asked them to do, without trying to sell my something I didnt need. Honest, friendly, and attentive.I wish I found Larrys sooner, and I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks again, crew! Ruth Skiscim
Outstanding work, done for less than I was quoted elsewhere.A good friend recommended them to me. Im recommending them to you.
Needed a couple of trips back to figure out why my check engine light kept coming back on. Donald took great care in figuring out what it was and got it fixed. Thank you Donald for your patient and thorough work. I highly recommend Larrys Auto!
Great service, everyone very friendly, kind and attentive. Would recommend this location.
Very organized & professional. Got me in and out quickly as promised.
I recently brought my F350 Turbo Diesel to get serviced. Donald (owner/ mechanic) came out and talked with me directly. He is incredibly professional, personable and knowledgable. He takes extra time to communicate with customers and find out exactly what the issues are, shares his insights and makes valuable suggestions. He has high standards for his work and gets the job done right. I observed Donald and the rest of his staff interacting with other customers in much the same way. I heartily endorse this shop and will be taking my truck there from now on.
Incredibly friendly service. Quick and hassle-free smog check.
My daughters and I were driving to Santa Cruz on 17 today when our car suddenly started making some crazy noises. Larrys was the closest mechanic - I called and they said they would look at it. When we got there the person in the office dropped everything he was doing to test drive the car and do a full assessment. After working on it for 45 minutes he was able to see that whatever had been stuck was dislodged and he determined we were safe to drive. He did not charge me anything for his time and effort! It was a great reminder for me and a good example for my kids that there are good people out there! I am so grateful for his kindness and if I lived closer Id become a regular customer. Thank you!
Very honest and straight forward I feel like they care about doing the right thing and getting your car fixed at minimal cost. Cant ask for better than that. We have had Larrys Auto work on all 3 of our vehicles mostly tune ups and inspections and have always been happy.
Friendly and helpful people, Guy would be proud
Excellent service I will recommend this company to everyone.
Excellent service, great staff. Very responsive.
They always gets my cars fixed up right and at a fair price.
Have been a customer of Larrys for over 10 years and I have to say they are trustworthy, reliable and a good bargain to boot! They have worked on several of our cars and the work they do is great. They have a top notch team of Automotive Technicians who work for them and I have never had an issue post a repair. They are a true value to the San Lorenzo Valley community that they serve. Highly Recommend.
Fast smog check.
Quick friendly service. Made an appointment, rolled in, smog was done very quickly, and that was it. Awesome.
My truck is running better than ever, since I had my head gasket fixed by Guy and his crew. The attention to the parts that were wearing out, and their honest evaluation, made my repairs efficient and economical.
These guys know what they are doing and theyre quick. Highly recommend and trust them with my truck!
Always knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. I highly recommend.
Great service
Here is a mechanical shop that does great work and also handles smogs I have been.using larrys auto for 8 years or so.been satisfied every time Guy the owner is a very honest person.iv sent friends there and I told a few friends more than one fuel filter was bad up hill was not guess what they called me said u were right guy put on a new filter cured the problem give them a try u will like ur experience
This shop does not seem to understand the cars they smog or the CARB laws for that matter. Was refused for smog under the argument that my vehicle never came from the factory with a turbo, which it did. I showed him the sticker on the hood but that wasnt enough. The tech did not bother to check any references to verify and just plainly refused to test the car any further. Went to another smog shop down the street and the car passed with no issues. They made the comment that my previous smog tech didnt seem to have much of an idea of what hes doing. I agree and Ill be shooting a quick complaint over to BAR.At least he was courteous enough that he allowed me to leave without paying the test fee. One extra star kept because of that.All in all, look elsewhere for your smog needs if your vehicle is uncommon or not one that they deal with on a regular basis.
Quick, friendly service and reasonable price for smog check.
Great experience for smog check. In Scotts Valley, reasonably priced, and it was quick.
Rude and unprofessional. But I got my smog done
Solid auto repair and smog test. Reasonable price and prompt service.
Honest, quik, fair, professional, fast
UPDATE Oct 26, 2020 The review below applies to the former owner who recently passed away. The business has finally reopened under new ownership, so the observations below may or may not apply. I found alternatives and wont be going back to this shop however.Great for smog tests, but the deeper services are very uneven in quality. Ive done most of my own car work forever but turn over the heavier jobs to pros. Larrys is where Ive gone for smogs on my two cars, so I went there twice for heavier services with poor results. The pan gasket on my Acura began leaking so I had them replace it. When I drove the car home, there was smoke everywhere. I was afraid to put it in the garage. Turns out theyd done the job right but never cleaned up afterwards so there was oil everywhere under and near the engine - likely a fire hazard. So I crawled under with an old towel and wiped up the mess then called them to complain. Shortly thereafter I heard a clattering noise when I went in reverse. They had installed a cross member incorrectly underneath. They fixed that when I came back. So thats two problems on one job. Second more recent problem is that there was a growing bearing noise under the hood on my Toyota Corolla. This time I went to a different mechanic after the Acura pan experience with Larrys. The timing belt had been replaced by Larrys 13,000 miles earlier, and they had installed a cheap Chinese knockoff water pump whose bearing was failing, plus it was starting to leak. Larrys had charged me $75.38 for a water pump part number available now on Amazon Prime for $13.73. Even has a lifetime guarantee! It was expensive to replace (extra $550) since the timing belt cover had to be removed. But at least the job was finally done right. I complained to Guy, and he just thanked me for the feedback. Most of the positive reviews are for Larrys convenient smog certificate service. Thats fine, but if you need repairs, go somewhere else. When I later changed the oil on my Acura, I discovered that they had used an undersized Mighty Max m4612 oil filter. It worked but is much smaller than the factory recommended filter. They also had put the oil drain bolt on way too tight. I cant even recommend Larrys for basics such as an oil change. Go somewhere else.
My friends and i have been using Larrys for years and I have never had any problems with the service. Dont be put off by his demeanor because they are honest and thats hard to find these days.
Great price great work
Extremely fast service and smog check appt to start out the day at 8:30 AM, professional, helpful, not expensive. Thank You.
Good for a quick smog check
I called for a smog check and they were able to squeeze me in on the same day. They were friendly, professional, and did what they said they would do. I will return! Thank you
It was okay. Been there about 4 or 5 times for SMOG. Got the job done but one worker has broken english and the one with glasses had an attitude with a customer. Might have been isolated incident, but he seems like a grump.
Can I get a smog check ? Nope nice customer service. Avoid this place
Got a smog check here. They had a problem with their machine the first time but the 2nd time no drama. Took them 15 minutes.
Honest, efficient, knowledgeable, highly recommend
Very good
Friendly and honest
