What Our Customers Say About Us

I have used this shop for the past 11 years (two Volkswagens, and one Infiniti), and not only are they the best at what they do, they are among the most honest and reliable folk out there. Any person who has dealt with Giovanni will attest to the fact. The people who have been patronizing this shop have been coming back for decades, because of their reputation. To anyone out there looking for a place that would give them solid customer service, without any of the "upsell" you are used to seeing elsewhere, talk to Giovanni. And after you have had a chance to, make up your own mind.

Ali said he took his vehicle to 5 other places and they were rude and they did not have time to work on his vehicle. The mechanic at this facility was nice, friendly and also knowledgeable. They work on the vehicle until it was fixed. The facility was very nice and clean and he really appreciates them only charging him for an hour when they worked on it for an hour and a half.

Excellent Customer Service. I had a very great experience with ISM. Gelina has helped me from the start. The check engine light was on and found out that the code was related to the catalytic convertor. I emailed and asked for a quote and she was able to get back to me within a day or two. I called her back and setup an appointment a week or two in advance. I dropped off my car Thursday after work and even called a cab for me to get home. They worked on it all day the next day. She called me later in the afternoon to tell me it was ready. Picked it up after work and it was cleaned up and ready to go. Gelina made the whole process as less stressful as possible. Thank you Gelina and ISM.

I was looking for a competent, fast and cost effective alternative to the dealer service department and I found it at ISM. I went in to the dealer to have a burned out headlight replaced and was told it would be $700. I found ISM from a referral and received prompt, friendly service that cost a third of the dealer's estimate. I dropped the car off at ISM and was told it would take about an hour and in 45 min. I had my car back. Reliable service and fair pricing was all I was looking for and I think I found it at ISM.

I just took my VW Beetle there for the first time and the crew at ISM were fantastic. Never going back to the dealership again!

Loved working with you, Mark. Looking forward to seeing you again!

Overall very strong service, great people and all work done well and on time. I would have very much liked to have had my dirty car washed and would have paid for some extras like that..

We're glad to hear you were satisfied with your service, Verne. We normally provide a wash, so I'm sorry that we weren't able to clean your car this time. We definitely owe you one when you come in for your next oil change!

I needed to find a repair place that knew enough about Mercedes electric problems because my ML320 kept dying in traffic and at red lights. I usually do most of the minor troubleshooting of vehicle systems myself and knew it wasn't the battery, alternator, or starter. I needed it repaired quickly and affordably as I am a grad student and honestly can barely afford to keep up a luxury vehicle but the ML320 has been remarkably problem free. Gelina talked to my roommate on the phone and coordinated getting the car there after it was almost stuck at a garage that was trying to scam people into paying outrageous storage fees. Not knowing when the tow truck would get there, Gelina and Giovanni arranged to stay open late and wait for me and offered a new customer discount. I had called several other luxury repair places and none were able to get my car in until 2-3 days later and needed the car ready for a trip. Before I had even come in, they had narrowed down the problem and I felt very confident they knew what they are doing since luxury electrical can be a nightmare. They even arranged a car to drive me home which was amazing I had all kinds of bags with me and was not looking forward to long walks bart. They called me with a quote first thing in the morning and It was fixed and ready the next afternoon at an affordable rate with discount! I have painting and other minor body issues I'm looking to get them to fix soon! Highly recommended and I will be taking my Mercedes ML320 here for almost everything !

Thanks for the great review on both Google and Yelp. Very nice of you, Curt. I'm glad we could help.

The ratings are true:) Attention to detail. All the ISM folks all share the same level of commitment to perfection. This is the place where you take your car to get the job done perfectly the way you would yourself. Its hard to find a place like this. The only other place I know is custom alignments in mountain view.

Thanks for the review, Shahab!

I've been a customer since 2009 getting service for my 2003 BMW 325 when the transmission broke down. They have are helpful and reliable on the service they provided. Giovanni is very professional and very accommodating. Every time I need a service for my car, just one call and they will schedule me on the next available date. I highly recommend to check ISM and you would be happy. Alvin M.

We had our car broken into a few weeks ago. Along with a broken vent window, the busters also managed to screw up our trunk lock. We figured this out when our trunk flew open on the freeway. Twice in 20 minutes. My gf found ISM on the interwebs and decided to call them based on their reviews. There's a reason why the garner a lot of positive reviews! Giulina and Giovanni were so helpful, efficient and professional. A lot of their staff were pretty courteous! Took my car in the morning and was ready in the afternoon. Got problems with your car and you live in the City? Take it to ISM!
