Consumer Comments for Tooles Garage

Consumer from SAN CARLOS, CA
Feb 02, 2025

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Toole's Garage is an exceptional trustworthy auto repair shop that genuinely cares about cars. They have a helpful old-fashioned approach to service, combined with up-to-date technical support. They provide detailed information throughout the work progress, with ongoing comments, photos, and recommendations for service. Recommendations are ranked in importance, cost provided, and they carefully answer questions to help you with decisions on work YOU want accomplished – no pressure. On arrival I was welcomed by the knowledgeable and helpful Service Advisor Erik, and by chance, met the impressive founder and CEO Dave Toole. The outstanding technician Dillan provided comments and photos as his work progressed, and their well-organized shop activity is visible from the lobby. Their service information and website are informative and easy to navigate. If you are looking for an honest reliable shop for vehicle maintenance, (rare these days), we recommend TOOLE’S GARAGE as a top choice. Thank you.
