Sebastopol Auto Repair

Fantastic customer and mechanical service! Tremendous follow through that positively reinforces return visits for routine maintenance and other repairs.

I enjoy the personal treatment I receive every time I go into Pauline‘s. They treat me like family and give me the best deals. They are honest, straightforward, and willing to go the extra mile. I have recommended Pauline’s several times already and will continue to recommend the shop. They truly do care about my safety but also listen to my concerns to offer straightforward recommendations without persuading me into additional repair work. Check them out: a small town auto repair shop you can trust!

Pauline's is owned by Kate, the owner of K-Tech Automotive in downtown Sebastopol. A great group of professionals, a clean shop, this team really knows what they are doing.

They charge top dollar and lie about how long it takes them to perform the labor. If you're wondering, definitely find a different mechanic.

Five stars and I haven't even had any work done yet. . . . . I did, however, drive around to every smog check station in Sebastopol, and Pauline's was the only place that told me why they couldn't smog my vanagon, AND also what to expect, and what I might have to do or want to be prepared for as I try to get it smogged. That kind of proactive customer service makes me a believer, and if Wolfie does end up needing work, I know where I'm bringing him. Thanks Jennifer! You totally earned Pauline's a new customer.

So, yesterday I was driving to Sebastopol and my oil light came on...keep in mind it was a Saturday at 5pm. Literally as my oil light came on, I looked up and was driving past this establishment, I pulled in and went to the office door which was locked, and than I heard a voice...his name is John and although he was not working he immediately came to my assistance as he could tell I was worried. Without thought he checked my oil and told me it was a good thing I stopped. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to him!!! I will send EVERYONE I know to this business and tell everyone I know! Thank you John for being so kind, I'm eternally thankful...

We were on vacation in Bodega Bay when the oil pump in our Honda unceremoniously died. We were far from home, staying in a town with no auto service. Ugh. We made a few calls and ended up having AAA tow the car to Pauline's, crossed our fingers and hoped for the best. Pauline's totally knocked our socks off. It turned out there was a lot of work to do. They were 100% honest about what we needed, they got it done in a day, did quality work, and were incredibly helpful and downright friendly from start to finish. In an unexpected wrinkle, it turned out there were no Ubers in Bodega Bay (none!), and we had no way to go pick up our car when the work was done. We explained our predicament, and Jenn, one of the owners, actually drove the half hour to our hotel to pick us up. You don't get service like that just anywhere. If we lived near Sebastopol, Pauline's would be our new first choice for auto repair. Since we don't, we have to settle for giving them our unqualified positive review here.

Nothing but good things to say about Pauline's. Skilled & honest mechanics, exemplary customer service, & reasonable rates. It's unique to have mechanics who are transparent and don't talk down to you. Glad to support a local woman-owned auto shop.
