The best service and trustworthy guys. Always looking out for you and prioritizing safety on your car. They don t give off that pushy seller type feel like with most places. Give simple and direct explanations and provide honest work. Highly recommend to anyone in Sonoma County.

Can't thank Justin at Ultimate enough! I was considering buying a car from a private party via craigslist and the seller randomly had some time to show it. There were a couple items that didn't quite add up, so I needed an inspection. The seller protested, but we swung by Ultimate. Justin came out for a courtesy preliminary inspection. He found hidden body damage, a power steering leak, and the coup de grace... the odometer read 62k miles, but he researched and found it really had 303,000 miles! He saved me a lot of money and headaches. Thank you!

This was my first time going here ,and i had good experience. They were very helpful with explaining what I needed to do to get my car a brake lamp and light inspection. The only thing was that the owner told me I needed a smog, which I was sure I didn't but got anyway. Then, to find out I didn't need it sucked because it cost me 100$, I didn't really have to spend. Just for future customers if your car is registered to you and you buy it back and it's salvaged and you live in an area that don't require a smoke i.e Guerneville or Cloverdale you don't need a smog. You only need to get one. i think the lady from DMV said if it is not in your name or if you live in a place that requires a smog

Had a good experience with U.A.C this week. My 1st experience ever. They fixed my transmission for my '94 truck. No hassles, direct, follow-through, and pricing were all a positive experience.

Easily best mechanic I've ever been to. I brought my car here around 4:15 pm, 45 mins before they close. Told them the issue, said I had no problem leaving it overnight for them to look at it tomorrow when they have time. Justin went straight to work figuring out what was wrong and was able to get a part and replace it, all before 5:00! I'm so grateful to the team here, they're always nice and do a great job at explaining what's going on. Can't recommend this place more!!!

I ve been going here a little over a year now after being told it would cost more than $100 to do something that takes 15-20 minutes (as a professional to do) and the parts to do so only cost about $25. It actually came down to me doing it myself once because of Covid but I m so grateful to have found these guys. I have 3 cars with two having been here and one not yet but she s old and will definitely need work done in the not doing distant future.Rambling aside I 100% recommend these guys. They re awesome and as in previous reviews they are one of the only places I trust to get great value and honesty about my car.Thank you for being great Ultimate Auto Care!Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Oil change

I've been going to Ultimate Auto for 5+ years, and they've always been incredibly helpful and kind while working on my pickup truck. I'm a gal in my early 30s who doesn't know much about cars, but they've never made me feel taken advantage of, never overcharged or talked down to me. They've helped with everything from oil changes, filter replacements, spark plugs, battery service, and then some. They answer all of my questions and show me how things work, and they have always given me confidence that I'm taking great care of my car.I'll always bring my care to Ultimate Auto Care as long as I live here!Services: Tire rotations, Brakes, Auto battery maintenance, Auto maintenance, Oil change

Only giving 2 stars because they repair the vehicles where I work and seem to do a decent job. That's if you can get by the main guys attitude. Dudes in a rotten mood everytime I speak to him. Just a very unpleasant person and has no problem giving customers attitude. Had him straight up hang up on me mid sentence trying to set up an appointment today.

Extremely fair and honest work, never been so impressed with a mechanic before. Was very willing to spend time explaining exactly what was going on, and did a better job explaining things than most teachers I've had in my life.Very nice, very professional, and I plan on returning here if/when my car has any more issues!

Best mechanic I ve ever been too. I ve been here multiple times over the years and the guys who work here are friendly, honest, and reliable; all the qualities of a great shop. Not only are his prices incredibly fair, but his honesty about the issues going on with your car will always be 100% factual (unlike other mechanic shops in the area who will try an scam you) I have had nothing but quality service from this shop 5 stars!

I've had nothing but good experiences here. Eric is very efficient and customer service oriented. He went out of his way to get me a better deal on a used part for my car that is older and help cut my cost down on the repair. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

These guys respond fast and gave the best quote on Yelp service was done quickly and efficiently. I would have given them a five-star review except for my check engine light is on now and the battery terminal negative was loose I had to tighten it other than that I think you're going to get your best deal with these guys as far as cost goes.

I arranged repairs by email & phone with Eric G. 2,600 miles away to repair my daughter's older Honda Civic. He gave an honest quote $1K less than the dealer. A/C clutch/compressor repair was performed perfectly, on time and within budget, while treating my daughter courteously and professionally.Service: A/C installation & repairService: A/C installation & repair

First time there. Brought my car in because of a rattle I was hearing on acceleration. Turned out that the oil plug from my oil change 3 months ago was loose and leaking oil ( thanks a lot Oil Stop) and I was down to 1 qt. They just did an oil change for me when I was expecting to have to replace the engine. I was out in an hour instead of spending all day waiting. Definitely going back for all my car needs including oil changes now.

This is the best auto shop I've been to in a long while. I've been to auto shops nationwide: ME, WA, TX, CA... and this is one of the best. Nick was a great help and saved me spending thousands by providing his expertise and honesty. Great shop, stand-up team.
