Automotive in San Carlos

Toole's Garage woos motor vehicles with high-caliber equipment and original parts designed for the establishment's specialty vehicles: Honda, Acura, and Infiniti. Skilled professionals are also adept at servicing Toyota, Lexus, Scion, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Nissan models. Technicians begin A-1 action by popping the hood for oil and filter service (up to 5 quarts), rotating the tires and testing the battery. An inspective odyssey explores your car's hoses, belts, and fluids, and an undercarriage inspection ensures that suspension, struts, shocks, and bushings are behaving properly. Technicians also ensure that the windshield, wipers, and lights provide eagle vision in all hours and elements. Services take approximately an hour; opt to call ahead to schedule a loaner car for the day of service, or relax in the waiting room and enjoy complimentary WiFi.

Helmed by certified master technician Simon Liu, 880 Auto Works vivify domestic and imported four-wheeled wagons with comprehensive car-care services. Experienced staff swap used, sludgy oil with silky lubricate freshly milked from a certified organic gear farm. Cars then undergo a comprehensive 27-point inspection, which includes condition checks for interior and exterior lighting, fluids, belts, hoses, air filter, battery, undercarriage, exhaust, wheels, tires, brake linings, and preexisting hernias. 880 Auto Works provides courtesy rides for customers within certain distances.

The technicians at European Auto Corporation draw on more than 20 years of car expertise to keep engines purring and wheels rolling smoothly. They use computer diagnostics to help assess looming threats, from transmission trouble to asthmatic tailpipes, and replenish parched engines with both conventional and synthetic fluids. Beyond surface inspections, the team repairs brakes and competently fiddles with engines.

Surprisingly enough, it's not how a car looks that will betray whether or not it needs to be waxed—it's how it sounds. If it squeaks when you run a clean, dry terry cloth over the hood, that's a sure sign it needs a fresh coat. This is the kind of expert advice the Ducky's Car Wash team has accrued across 20 years spent caring for vehicles all around San Francisco. And it's not just cars they care for, they also keep an eye out for the environment by reclaiming, filtering, and reusing around 80% of their water. And, they also collect all the runoff from the biodegradable cleaners and waxes they use into their own underground tanks for eco-friendly disposal.

Further more, those cleaners and waxes are measured precisely using computerized equipment, a process designed to minimize waste during Ducky's soft-cloth washes. Technicians also perform an extensive selection of detailing services, including conditioning leather seats, removing oxidation from exteriors, and shampooing carpets, floor mats, and back seat bear skin rugs.
