I took my F-Type to Praveen for a major repair (SC coupler) along with some preventative maintenance. Praveen has been knowledgeable, kind, efficient, and transparent with all the details throughout the entire time. He was also able to locate the source of an extremely hard-to-spot rattling sound that had been bothering me for a long time and none of the dealerships I had been to was able to resolve. Highly recommended for anyone who needs to have solid work done on their Jaguars.

These guys are great. Fair price and meticulous care of my car. The previous owner did all his service there and I’ll do the same. They know their Aston Martins!

Brought my new to me car into Peninsual European for regular maintenance and overall check. Praveen was great at setting expectations and communicating what he found and what should be taken care of. The prices are very fair and I feel like they definitely care about their craft. Would highly recommend.

Praveen and Robbie are fantastic. They are not just good mechanics, they are also enthusiasts. I was confident that my V8 Vantage would get only the best care, and it did! I've definitely found my long-term shop!

The finest in Aston/ Range Rover service, Robbie and Praveen are both highly trained, passionate and as good as it gets. They love Aston/Ranges and all my experiences have been exceptional. While I have had good experiences for service for my Range at the dealer in RWC, Robbie and Praveen provide a higher level of care and attention to detail. They have become good friends taking care of my Astons and Range. 5 stars!

I have a 14 year-old car and lately she has broken down a lot. I took her to three different "Land Rover Service Centers" and all three missed critical problems (oil leaking all over the engine, for one). Praveen was straightforward but kind, and they got her back up and running! I am glad to have found this place.

An excellent place to service your Aston. Praveen and Robbie are great guys and very experienced Aston techs. When you walk in the shop and see 8-10 Astons it's pretty clear who Aston owners trust to work on their cars. Praveen and Robbie work on many other European makes and I'm sure do a wonderful job on those too. I had Peninsula European do a PPI on my Vantage before I bought it, then left it with them for 4-5 weeks to get a massive amount of service done, parts ordered from UK, etc. They did great work and the car was noticeably better for it. And they were honest about what was essential to fix vs. optional, even providing some great alternatives. Praveen kept me in the loop the whole time, and is a super nice and great car guy to talk with. Servicing Astons isn't cheap, but you already knew that. ;-) You get what you pay for.

I brought my Bentley to PenEuro (as I like to call them for short) and after my first experience am now a regular customer. Robbie and Praveen have been great, and they are the place I will keep going to for anything I need done. I just asked my extended warranty company to add them to authorized centers to guarantee I can always do so. They specialize in high-end British cars in particular (I have never seen so many Aston Martins in one place outside an auto show!) and know their stuff. They are also friendly and very communicative about just what is being done, updates on when the car will be ready, etc. Highly recommended.

I was just biking (bicycle) past this auto repair shop, and decided to come and ask if i can borrow the tool to fix my bike's kick stand. The person who helped me was not only positive, but he spent like 10-15 min of his time to help me fix the bike himself for free! If I were doing it alone, I wouldn't have fixed it at all since the issue was not what I thought it was haha I know this is not related to car repair, but just wanted to say that this shop has friendly staff!

Good service, Praveen did a great job taking care of my vantage. The best part is his continual communication with me throughout the work that was done. I had 02 sensors and valve cover replacement. It’s a big job and he got it done fast. I appreciate the hard work and look forward to going back again!

Robbie and Praveen were incredibly professional! I recently purchased my Aston Martin and it had a couple of little things I wanted to get checked. They took care of me!

I first contacted Praveen and Peninsula European Car Service (PECS) to discuss a CarPlay system upgrade / installation for my 2007 AM V8 Vantage. The technology comes from UK-based Aston Installations. Praveen was massively helpful from the first contact and helped lock down my final configuration. Install included upgraded higher resolution dashboard display, an integrated control panel (which neatly fits in under the center panel lighter/ashtray cover), plus all-new front and rear cameras. Praveen and the team also did a stellar job fixing my laundry list of mechanical and cosmetic issues - ranging from oil leak (timing cover gasket replacement), new brake pads & rotors, new tires, and even refinishing sections of the leather dashboard that had come apart. All done very professionally and the car is now like new. Highly recommended!

Praveen knows his Astons and is the #1 mechanic I'd trust in the Bay Area. Brought mine in twice - amazing guy, very fair prices, and much more thorough than the Aston dealers themselves. Found a literal laundry list of items that Aston service missed (including missing hardware), and fixed them at a really fair price. Unless you're on warranty (and even then), bring your Aston to him.

Had Robbie of European auto do a stage 2 tune and pully wheel upgrade on my 2016 Jaguar f type R. Replace the tires and do an alignment. I found Robbie and his assistant to be be very knowledgeable and friendly. They were patient in explaining the work. They took the time to be cordial and tell me about their business. Robbie is wealth of information and Jaguar experience. When my warranty runs out I will be using European auto for my services.

They installed on my Aston Martin DBS a new HD screen from Aston Install. Praveen did a perfect job, from booking the time allocated to completing the install and provide information. The whole operation was seamless. This installation changed how to use the car as a true GT. This was worth every penny. I will definitely return to Peninsula European Car service, great job.

The best car service experience I have ever had. Been going here for two years now and Praveen is very fun to talk to. He knows so much about the cars it's incredible. And he is happy to explain things to you. He will show you the parts and explain the common failure modes. I'm a car guy myself and like to do my own research and it's great to be able to discuss that stuff with Praveen. He inspires trust and communicates well which I find very valuable.

Paveen and team at Peninsula European Car Service are such a breath of fresh air. Knows his stuff, does good work, honest and good customer service. Yeah, a gem. For me breaks and oil was what was needed on a 2023 Range Rover. But he handles Aston Martin’s and many other European Luxury Brands.
