When most cars are off of warranty, most car owners love to take their car to their favorite independent repair shop that the family has been using for years. The problem? Have you noticed that when shopping for a good used car, there is a HUGE gap of maintenance/repair info missing from the CarFax report?
It's frustrating if your car, truck or SUV does not start every time you turn the key; a faulty alternator could be to blame. An alternator is the most vital component within a vehicle's charging system, and it must function properly at all times. If your battery light is blinking intermittently or your amp gauge is lower than normal, get your charging system evaluated right away. A timely alternator repair is essential to preventing damage to related charging system components, such as the battery and voltage regulator.

Based on the recommendations of several friends, I took my car to Tom and his team for a required maintenance after my technician of several years retired. I couldn't be happier with the fast and friendly service I received. Communication was excellent, the price was very reasonable and my tire warning light problem is finally fixed after persisting for 2+ years.
I have crossed 'find a new auto repair shop' off my to do list. 10/14/21 Another great experience with Tom & his crew. My car was ready a day ahead of schedule and their thorough maintenance inspection turned up a wheel bearing problem. Now that it is fixed the car is running much better. So grateful that I always know where to go when my car needs servicing or has a problem. 4/7/22 As usual, another fast (extremely!), friendly and reasonably priced service from Portola Valley Garage.
I just needed a smog certificate for DMV renewal. It wasn't a rush job so Tom could easily have taken several days to complete the check but he just happened to have a break in the schedule and had my car ready less than 2 hours after I dropped it off. 5+ stars!

Yet another excellent service! I am very picky about my vehicle's mechanical care and I can trust them to consistently do a great job, and to explain what they're doing, outcomes, etc. Highly recommend them!

The rats ate the firewall in the engine compartment. Major work to replace. Tom's team got it done sooner than expected and the car was in great shape when I picked it up. They were also very patient in dealing with my insurance company, who's online system to gather photos of the damage was not easy to navigate or deploy. All in all a great experience.

I've brought my car to Portola Valley Garage for the last 10 years and have never been disappointed! I trust Tom and his team to always provide me with high quality service. They are extremely professional, reliable, and willing to go the extra mile. I've seen them work on everything from vintage to exotic to golf carts and everything in between. Highly recommend Portola Valley Garage for the best mechanics in town.

Wow! What a GREAT first experience with Tom and the crew at Portola Valley Garage! They were extremely responsive to the automotive crisis on our 1998 Lexus LS400. Tom was delightful - very knowledgeable and friendly. We'll definitely be back - although, hopefully not too soon!; Service: General repairs & maintenance
