They were able to diagnose the problem quickly and got me in quickly as well. I would recommend them to others.

Mand R provides excellent service and is upfront about all the costs before they are incurred.

I needed an oil leak fixed while also changing my timing belts. Service was fine but one can certainly do better as far as price/cost is concerned. I was told I needed my rear brakes fixed soon and was quoted $360. I went down the street and got it done for $200.

They did an inspection of a car I was planning to buy. They were prompt and thorough and gave me a written estimate of what was inspected and what needed repair. They also gave me estimates of the needed repairs. They took the time to fax the information to me and followed up with a mailed written copy. I was very satisfied with their work and prompt friendly customer service. I would use them again.

They're very reliable and their prices are reasonable. They're very honest and also prompt. I have nothing but superlatives to say about them.

They were business like and they did what they said what they would do. I can’t judge the quality of their work because I’m not into cars that much, but everything seems fine. I think the price is reasonable.

I have been using them for 30 years now and I find their work of very high quality. They give accurate estimate and charge very good prices. I find their prices better than dealerships we have used for nearly 10 years. They are very reliable and do very good work. They are very honest too.

Toyota agency quoted $600 to fix a loud exhaust rattle when accelerating my '93 Camry. Mand R put the car up on the rack, found a loose sheet metal shield around the exhaust manifold, which they tightened up. Sound/rattle now gone -- and when I asked how much I owed them, they said 'zero -- glad to help and it was trivial to fix'. Friendly fast honest service -- will be returning with all my work in the future!

This was a normal service, on a Toyota Prius. The service from delivery of car to Mand R to pick up is always smooth, prompt, well done, at a very fair price.

I've been taking my Toyota Corolla to this shop for several years now. The mechanics here are honest and straight forward and the prices seem reasonable (for auto mechanics). The price for an oil change here is a little high, so I get that done elsewhere unless I'm bundling it with a repair for convenience. They are good at communicating and keeping to their estimates of how long repairs will take. The location is pretty good, it's on El Camino near Valparaiso, not far from the Menlo Park train station. There is also a car rental place across the street, which I've used a couple of times when my car needed major work.
