Like doctors, because of most of us are ignorant of the major portions of medicine and mechanics, it's hard to find a mechanic you can trust. But I have complete faith in everyone at Northgate Auto. They are honest and have told me at least once that "my car is not worth fixing, don't waste your money." And I truly appreciate that. I also know that their repairs are done well, with knowledgeable expertise and fair pricing. I won't take my car anywhere else.

Great experience! Had trouble starting my car for a non-battery related issue. Steve diagnosed the issue and had my car back on the road in the same day. Ended up being a bad distributer cap. Price was fair and honest. Had a nice conversation with Steve about cars as well. Friendly and honest service in my experience.

Steve is both a really nice guy and a great automotive technician. Just bought an older '94 Ford Ranger, and it's old and was a decent deal. It was idling really rough, check engine light came on periodically, and transmission was shifting poorly. Steve's suggestion was let's get it running right and we'll figure out the rest. Later on in the same day, he has fixed two vacuum leaks, flushed transmission and changed the air filter. He had the running condition fixed for $90......I told him to proceed with the transmission and air filter. Come 5 o'clock, I had a completely different car for $350 including tax. Honest & reliable service. Recommend highly

At North gate Automotive they are very responsive and cosiderate.The owner Steve Pugh has decades of experience and they stand behind his work, he is a passionate mechanic and an excellent craftsman. He took care of my Land cruiser after many attempts including including with Toyota of Marin where they charged me a lot more for basically not fixing the issues.
