These guys are great. They fixed my 2000 Dodge Ram van 1500 when my distributor when bad and they fixed it in a short amount of time. I had a tight schedule and they worked around it even working after hours to fix other issues. They went above and beyond for my vehicle and they are very reliable shop.

Went to Seaside Auto multiple times, and every time they make you feel welcome and are extremely professional and friendly. They text updates and pictures to let you know how everything is going and have a pretty quick turn around time. Absolutely would recommend this shop.

I was having engine problems in my truck. I went to this shop because of its location and decent reviews. The employees were kind when helping me. After having my truck for several days and trying some small fixes the mechanic diagnosed my truck as needing to replace the entire catalytic converter for over $1,700. This was such an expensive fix and it didn't sound right so I took my truck to another mechanic shop. Within 4 hours the other shop fixed my truck for a total of $200. Just a bad sensor. I do not know if Seaside shop was trying to rip me off or they just didn't know what they were doing

I have an 02 Ford F-350 that Im getting ready to sell. Mac and his crew repaired a bad parking lot rash on the side of the bed and installed some nice chrome bumpers. Seaside Automotive has serviced several of my vehicles and Ive always been able to trust them with both the quality of work and the reasonable rates for their services. I highly recommend Mac and the entire group at Seaside Automotive.
