I have been using Carolan Auto Service in Burlingame since I moved to the area.
Ask for Kevin, he is very honest, and will show you and explain what is wrong, just ask.
They do just about anything, service, repair, tires, alignments and more.

Um... I am sorry. But I would never ever ever recommend this shop to anyone for more than parts. They made a great name for themselves but have really gone down hill. Terrible place to have work done.

Folsom, CA 95630, 9477 Greenback Lane Ste.109

Heidt Machine and Tool

(916) 488-4523

I broke one of the bolts for my front sway-bar and needed help extracting the bolt. Went to this shop and within 20 minutes and $20, the bolt was out with no damage. First time using his services but have had many friends in the Subaru community that have used his services. Great guy and very helpful. Forgot his name but he is the only guy there running the shop.

81 Pioneer Way

Mountain View, CA 94041

Provide great service, use OEM parts for Toyota and Nissan as I am still under warranty so that's a biggie. Prices are very reasonable. I got a 30k service done for 250 bucks at the dealer it was 800! Great honest guys there. Can get a rental from Hertz from them. I highly recommend them to others in the area.

Is Yarnells a dealer? Or can you get warranty work done at places other than Toyota. If that the case i'm never going back to the dealer.

Hi Grif,

I am fairly certain they are not a dealer they just use factory parts. However I believe they are just as knowledgeable and fairly priced that I would only go to the dealer for warranty work. I would call them and see if they do warranty work because I am not sure if they do.

I second that one (Yarnells). They were recommended by AAA a few years back when I lived down that way and needed a bunch of work done on my old Nissan Pathfinder. Very reasonable prices, timely, and I didn't feel like they were trying to sell me anything I didn't need.
