A HUGE thank you to Hanna with Hanna's Murals for the beautiful work of art she's painting on our back wall. The entire parking lot looks SOOOOO much more inviting now and I hope it causes others to smile as they walk/drive past it like it does for me. I'll post another picture when she's finished without cars in the way, but I couldn't resist getting an in progress action shot for now!

Thinking about buying a used vehicle? A pre-purchase inspection can identify issues with a used vehicle that may not be noticeable during a test drive or visual inspection. For example, an experienced mechanic can inspect the engine, transmission, and other vital systems to check for any signs of wear or damage. They can also look for signs of rust or structural damage, which can be costly to repair.

By identifying these hidden problems, the buyer can negotiate a lower price with the seller or even decide not to buy the vehicle altogether. This can save the buyer a lot of money in the long run, as they can avoid costly repairs and maintenance down the road. Additionally, a pre-purchase inspection can provide the buyer with an estimate of the remaining life of key components like brakes, suspension, and tires. This can help the buyer plan for future maintenance and repair costs.

Overall, a pre-purchase inspection is a small investment that can save the buyer a lot of money and stress in the long run by helping them make an informed decision about the vehicle they are considering purchasing.

New 5.0-star Review: "I have gone to Coastal Auto for 2 different services for my car now and both experiences were wonderful. First, I needed a seatbelt replaced and I showed them the estimate I received from my dealership. They were able to complete my repair the same week for hundreds of dollars less than the dealership quoted. They even charged me less than their quote because they finished the job faster than estimated. In addition, Coastal provides a 2 year warranty while the dealership is only 1 year. You can tell that the staff has integrity and deep knowledge in their trade. My second experience was for a brake pad replacement. It was a Friday so they made sure to remind me to come in early so they could finish the job and get my car back to me for the weekend. They finished by mid-day Friday and even replaced my front headlight that they found was out.I will be going to Coastal Auto for all my future car needs."

New 5.0-star Review: "I didn't know how it could be true - an auto repair shop with ALL FIVE STAR reviews and more than a hundred reviews total. So I decided to check it out and took our car in to Coastal Auto Repair for new front brakes, which someone had told us we needed. Ian wouldn't quote a price or commit to doing the brakes until he'd taken a close look himself and confirmed that they were needed, which he did. I appreciated that hesitancy to do work unless it was truly needed, and I knew after talking to both Ian and Kevin thst I could trust their judgement and workmanship. I'll return for our future car service needs, and I'm thankful PB has this high quality auto repair shop."

New 5.0-star Review: "Impressed by the service! This place definitely lived up to their 5 star reviews on here. Very professional, they had a busy day when I brought my car in but you wouldn't have know that based on the top level and quick service they gave! Will be bringing my car here from now on!Service: Battery"

New 5.0-star Review: "Kevin was incredibly helpful! I went for a pre-purchase inspection, and they didn't hold back. He gave me a very detailed rundown of the problems and flat out told me not to buy the car under any circumstances. I really appreciated the honesty and ethics after experiencing the dishonesty of the seller. They were timely, professional, and reasonably priced. I'll definitely go back."

New environmental friendly high-tech AC Machine for the shop!

Our new automotive air conditioning machine came in this week! We're always excited to stay on top of cutting edge automotive technology and continue to be able to service air conditioning systems in ALL makes and models of vehicles including brand new cars using R1234-yf.

Our technicians are certified to handle the new systems and have the proper training and equipment to do so.

Over the last few years vehicle manufacturers have moved away from an older system in favor of this newer technology, mainly due to safety concerns for the environment. Unfortunately the new system requires very expensive and rare equipment to service. We've been on a waiting list for weeks and ours finally came in!

Most manufacturers are either already using the new systems exclusively, or moving in that direction. BMW, Honda, Toyota, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, Land Rover, Mini, VW, Kia are only some of the manufacturers that use this updated system. We're proud to be able to offer the ability to service the air conditioning systems of ALL makes and models.
