Another amazing experience at Fara’s. These guys are simply the best. Efficient, honest and the friendliest service you can get. I will continue to take our vehicles here as long as I live around the area!
I’ve been going to Fara’s for a couple years now for all of our family car maintenance. They are honest, fast, and friendly. Jay, the shop manager (owner?), really went above and beyond today. I’m in the process of selling my car and I unexpected needed a 2nd SMOG test to complete the transaction. Jay called his SMOG tech back into the shop on his day off all to make my deal happen on a Friday late afternoon. What other shop would do that for a customer? So awesome!
They were really good with me and fixed some problems in my car. It took them some time but the problems were kind of tricky so i am happy. shout out to adrees and J
On a very dark and rainy Friday evening, the folks at Fara's were incredibly kind, changing a burned-out headlight even though it was after hours for their garage. I have a long drive home via rural roads, full of deer and other wildlife, so I was very grateful they were willing to help after business hours. Next time I need anything auto-related, I'll be calling Fara's!
Always doing great job. Absolutely you can trust and work with them forever. Quality and quick service fully donated equipments.
Best 👌 👍 shop in California
These guys are honest, helpful, friendly. Really appreciate all the help they’ve given us and how they’ve taken care of us and our car. They’ve gone over and above.
Often the least expensive gas in Marin in my experience. I've only ever gone here for gas, so I can't speak for the other services the offer.
There's only one downside to this station, and that's the location. Actual geographic location is great. Right off a main road. If you live in the area or have to pass near it, it's an easy detour to hit. However, if the gas station is busy, it can be a pain to get to a pump, and even more of a pain to leave after you fill your tank. There isn't enough maneuvering space around the pumps to pass other vehicles and leaving the station can be a long waiting game. It's a bit hard to explain, but I'd recommend going either early in the morning or later at night after rush hour. If you go when it's busy, you're flipping a coin on whether a full-sized SUV will block two pumps or if you'll get blocked in by someone trying to enter the station from the opposite side as you. It can be especially hard if you enter from the North side of the station (traveling south).
If you can go during less busy times, it's a no brainer to me. But that's the only time I'd ever go get gas here.
I’d like to say a huge thank you to Jason and Jay for being able to help with the P0171 code on my Saturn Astra, which was able to pass smog after my visit.
Both Js were excellent to work with! I was almost shocked at how quickly they were able to get this scheduled, diagnosed, parts in, and work completed… and at a fair price, too!
I HIGHLY recommend Fara’s Auto 💯
Genuinely the most inexperienced staff I’ve ever encountered. Put all this work into my motor just for it to freeze weeks later. The main problem is that they hire young staff that have no idea how to operate the equipment. Stay away if you can.
The gas prices are one of the lowest in the area. Great staff. Clean store, as well as the outside perimeter. They also have a mechanics garage which I may try out next time I need some engine work done.
Amazing customer service. I had to bring my car in the day before Thanksgiving to get something checked out. I couldn’t get back to pick my car up until 8pm that night. The owner/manager took time out of his evening to make sure I got my car back before the long holiday weekend. Thank you!!!
I live up the road and I love the convenience of gas right there and the price isn't too bad but as for the auto shop I had asked about getting a vehicle fixed that recently another mechanic screwed up and the gentleman at Faras told me 4-6 days and after a week it was pushed back to another and then another and I still have both my broken vehicles sitting around and there's been no calls or any kind of follow thru from this place so I think I'm done waiting (4 weeks). I'll definitely recommend for gas but unless you know the guys who work there it's likely just too small to take on outside work.
The professionalism and polished expertise of Mr. Fara and his employees has won my loyalty after just one visit. They not only fixed my car but diagnosed other smaller problems and advised me on how best to proceed, without pushing a sale. When all was said and done I drove away with a very happy car for an extremely fair price. Whether you're investigating a funny sound, or if your starter actually caught fire...seek help no further than Fara's Auto.
I went to get gas yesterday, and as I was pulling out my car was approached by a woman who works there. She aggressively leaned into my window (which I happily opened) and accusingly asked “what are you doing?”. I replied that I had gotten gas and was trying to back out (it is a very small lot and I was trying to maneuver my mom-mobile). She then made a passive aggressive comment about my passenger’s tattoo and stepped away from the car. The whole interaction was very uncomfortable, and I will not be returning.
Nick was excellent...I highly recommend his shop! He kept me updated and we did a test drive to confirm the work. Love supporting local businesses who provide an exceptional experience.
Have had Gary and John do all my service and repair needs for many years, and before that from Nick Fara, the prior owner. They have consistently been responsive, efficient, knowledgeable, and very fair to deal with. This weekend was above and beyond.The car was overheating Friday night in San Francisco due to what turned out to be a crack in the radiator upper tank. I called Saturday morning and reached John, who said come right in now. I couldn't believe that he called at 1:00 PM "The car is ready!" New radiator, coolant, and cap installed in 2 hours. This place is great!
