Marc Sandor Automotive

We were about 45 minutes into a 3.5 hour journey towing our trailer and our check engine light came on. I asked the mechanic if he could run the code and tell us if it was safe to drive. He dropped what he was doing, came over and checked the codes, and told us we were safe to go on our trip. Such kindness! When I offered him some cash he wouldn’t take it. If we lived in Ventura, I’d bring my car here!

Marc did an incredible job! I had some issues with my engine after hearing some weird noises when it started up. I’m not very knowledgeable about cars but Marc made the process so easy and my car runs perfectly now! There are so many places we could have take my car to, but it was very obvious when we took it in that Marc is head and shoulders above other automotive shops in terms of quality of work and customer service. Can’t recommend Marc enough to others!

Great experience. I had Marc replace an EGR valve on my 2010 Prius due to a check engine light. I also had him program a key fob that I purchased on eBay. Marc was honest, candid and provided prompt service. He explains procedures well and doesn't try to BS you. His prices are reasonable. It's hard to find an honest mechanic, but he is one. I trust his judgment and will continue to take my vehicles in to him. Well done!!

Marc killed it with the two cars I brought to him. He is very fair and is straight up with you when it comes to fixing cars. The first car I brought to him is my girlfriend's 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon. For months shops in Santa Barbara couldn't figure out the issue with her car stalling out. Marc figured it out and fixed it for a very fair price. The second car I brought over is my 1999 BMW M3 and boy did it have issues. However Marc didn't only fix the issues, he also upgraded the parts since he knew the weak points of this car and he basically bulletproofed it. Definitely coming back to him. Also for anyone that has E36s(1992-1999 3 series) go to him because he knows these cars like the back of his hand.
