Mariposa
I've just finished dealing with 180 Auto in the last few days.First things first:I bought a car off craigslist without having a mechanic look at it (I know, I'm a dummy) because the seller disclosed what her "mechanic" had diagnosed to be a $200-300 repair. She discounted $300 and we bought it. I had a mechanic that specializes in emissions repairs look at it, and he determined that the issue was in the cylinder itself and it would cost upward of $1200 to replace.Enter 180 Auto. I brought my car there and was met with the most rad lobby area. It wasn't full of rims and car magazines. The furniture and layout was super modern and very well kept. There was an area with toys for little ones, a Keurig machine, bags of goldfish for the littles and lots of locally made goods/art for sale. After a ton of basically free diagnostics (my car was there almost two days), I walked out the door with the same diagnosis as the first mechanic. The whole situation REALLY sucks but the reason they get 5 stars is the INCREDIBLE amount of compassion and kindness they showed me through the whole process. Doug, my point of contact, explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. The only "up-sell" was an oil change that was VERY overdue anyway. Bogi- the owner- is super rad and again awesome at explaining the whole thing to me. These are definitely my go-to mechanics from now on. But, for now, I'm stuck with a car that drives fine but won't pass emissions. Which is sad. But my fault. But still sad.
