Arcata is lucky to have Peter sharing his craft. He is the most honest and talented mechanic I have worked with. I live 3.5hrs away and am happy to drive here to get honest, high quality work done on my 4runner. Thank you Peter!

Price, costumer service, and the work is great!I ve had a lot of issues with my car and Petr hung in tough with all the twists and turns. When a yet another mystery issue came up with my car Petr worked with me to come up with a solution we both felt was fair. He is a great communicator, and an honest, respectful, and reliable mechanic.Every time I brought my car in here, even just for an oil change the service was above an beyond - Petr often couldn t help but make sure everything he could see was in working order.I never felt like he was trying to up sell me on anything. He would explain the essential needs of my car and the potential future issues clearer and honestly.I was always treated with a lot of respect and I could tell by the attention and care to detail that Petr really puts his all into the cars he works on.I wish I had a Toyota so I could still bring my car into this place!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Exhaust, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair, Brakes, Oil change

I saw Petr on You Tube and found out his shop is in Arcata California. We live close to San Francisco, about 250 south. As luck would have it we have a daughter in Arcata. I just had to take my 2006 to Petr. If you want your Toyota maintained or fixed right there is no better place. I watch the You Tube videos all the time.My 2006 Toyota Highlander has 215k miles now and going strong. Thank you, Petr, what a nice guy, too.

I decided to bring my sequoia here because of his informational videos on YouTube and great reviews. Petr was great to deal with. He was friendly, patient , honest (which is hard to find in the automotive industry) and never tried to sell me a service I didn't need. His attention to detail is impeccable and took the time to educate me on various maintenance related issues. I highly recommend Petr and I trust the work that he performs.Service: General repairs & maintenance

Very nice shop. The work was done quickly and for a good price. The owner, Petr, was very courteous and was ready for us when we were scheduled to drop our car off and as soon as it was done he let us know we could come get it. Definitely found our local mechanic for the two Toyotas we own.

Great experience here! Always appreciate Petr s honesty and transparency. He s very knowledgeable and informative, I always learn something when I come to get work done here. I ve been to mechanics before who barely explain what they did with the vehicle and I feel a bit blind. Petr always gives a very in depth explanation and genuinely cares. I leave feeling confident that the work was done very well and that I got a great deal. Very convenient location in Arcata as well, love supporting this local business!

Petr is a fantastic Toyota mechanic. He is honest, thorough and pays close attention to detail. I also appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he has done and answers all my questions. As a woman, it is rare to be treated like this by professionals in male-dominated fields. I really appreciate his friendly and customer-oriented service.-AmberServices: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

Petr is the best. Super nice guy. He is very honest and extremely knowledgeable. Prices are great too. If your running a Toyota in Humboldt I wouldn't go anywhere else. So stoked find him. Finally! My truck is soooo smooth now. Could not be happy

Petr s honesty and attention to detail was very much appreciated. He assessed the problem, gave me options, and did the work in a timely yet carefully meticulous manner that was very professional but with personal touch. Petr is very easy to talk to and won't rush you into making a decision. I left feeling confident that the work was done right at a fair value and felt good to support a small local business.Service: Steering & suspension repair

Petr goes above and beyond expectations. His prices are fair, he does excellent quality work and I completely trust him with my vehicle.After having an warning light come in my car, I took it to multiple shops including the dealship who could not figure out why the light was on.After an hour with Petr, the problem was addressed and fixed. With that kind of expertise I will not go anywhere else.

Petr is an outstanding auto technician! He has been repairing my car for over 10 years and takes good care of all my vehicles. I appreciate the time he takes in explaining the repairs, showing me the broken parts, and always does a little something extra like vacuum my car or fill up all my fluids, etc. He's the best and highly recommend his services!

The service was friendly and professional, the shop and office are clean the scheduling was easy and the prices very reasonable. Petr saved me a lot of money by avoiding unnecessary parts and procedures that others would have charged for. If you are looking for fair, honest, and professional service on your Toyota car or truck or your Subaru vehicle, then contact this mechanic in Arcata , CAServices: Air & cabin filter replacement, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Oil change

Petr was thorough, friendly, accommodating, and transparent. He berated me like a father for not taking better care of my car, and clearly laid out my Subaru's problems and what could be done to fix them now and in the future. I would recommend him to anyone with a Subaru or Toyota in the Arcata area.

I highly recommend Petr! He went through my car with a fine tooth comb. He let me know what my car needed as well as what looked good. He gave me a very fair quote before starting any work. He is very honest and personable. He also has a very large YouTube following for his DIY home car repairs.
