Menlo Park Auto Repair

NOTICE: Menlo Atherton Auto Repair has MOVED from the Shell Station on the corner of El Camino and Valparaiso to 1279 El Camino, just a half block away. It has merged with Auto Dynamics at this location. They are using the M-A name. I've had good service on 4 different cars at Auto Dynamics for years, and expect the same great service with M-A. Took in our old '95 Honda Odyssey for smog check last week, no problem! Note: If you want to wait while they service your car, try Jason's Cafe just across the street.

Best experience with an auto-mechanic I've ever had! I received a fix it ticket from a cop warning me I needed to get the bulb in my headlight replaced. I took it into Menlo-Atherton Auto Repair, and Tony replaced the light for me right then and there in about ten minutes free of charge. He then gave me a few suggestions on how I could improve my ride. But wasn't at all pushy about anything. I will definitely be going here for all of my future car needs, and will recommend them to my friends. Thank you Tony!!

Quick, efficient and friendly

Everything worked well from appointment to pick=up. So glad you're still in the neighborhood.

I have a Smart car that needed a smog check. The first place I took it too tried to rip me off saying it would cost $90! They claimed it was because it was more difficult to run the smog check on a Smart car. I didn't buy that and as I was leaving he said it would cost that no matter where I went. Threats! My next stop was Menlo Atherton Car Repair. I asked if they could handle the smog check on my Smart car and they said yes. They even told me about an online coupon I could use. They did it with no problems and I happily paid $34.99.

Thanks for the great and prompt service!

This place has completely restored my faith in auto repair shops. Ive been bringing my suv in to them for oil changes and just got shocks and my AC serviced. Tony got everything done perfectly and on time. No more dealership repairs or maintenance for me -this this is the place I'll be bringing all my cars to be maintained and repaired. No question.

Friendly, helpful and efficient. Blown lights replaced, spare parts ordered, the appointment made and all work done in no time flat. Thanks.

I like the new digs

The customer service at Menlo-Atherton Auto Repair was excellent and I would recommend them due to their honesty, friendliness, and efficiency. My car broke down on a Sunday and was towed there for them to look at in the morning. I put my keys in the overnight dropbox and on Monday morning called them, agreeing to have a diagnostic performed on my car. A few hours later, they called back and told me my transmission had gone out. They told me that they would love to do business, but at the same time said the cost of the repairs may exceed the value of the car. It was over the holidays and my car is from out of state, and they didn't pressure me to make a decision. This helped reduce stress in figuring out what to do. I decided to donate my car and with it being the end of the year, it took several days for the donation center to be able to come and collect it. Menlo-Atherton was very understanding with the situation, and they didn't even charge me for the diagnostic or the time my car sat in their parking lot. I appreciate what Menlo-Atherton did for me, and I would trust them to give honest advice. They are well-staffed, friendly, and have a quick-turn around time in getting back to you.
