I stopped into the shop for a quick smog check with Smog Queen and I ended up talking to Sal Garcia, the owner of Waterfront Automobile. I own a Mazda CX-5 that needs some work, not a Ferrari. But this didn't phase Sal, he still took time to look it over, educated me on the process and was so personable we ended the transaction with a hug. This is the ONLY kind of business you want!

I am lucky enough to live right across the street from this Auto Mechanic shop and Sal, the owner of Waterfront Automobile has helped me with my car on more than one occasion and all I can say is he goes above and beyond! Most recently my car battery went bad and he fixed it within no time! I constantly see Sal and his team of mechanics working on Ferrari's and they really know what they are doing! People are always walking out of the shop with huge smiles on their faces and returning for all of their maintenance needs! I highly recommend Sal and Waterfront Auto!

Excellent service. Very knowledgeable and informative. Doesn't try to upsell any service you don't need. I found Sal to be very amiable, honest and willing to take on any task with aplomb. This will be my GO TO establishment to take care of my exotic vehicle. Completely satisfied.

I brought my car in for a blinker issue and they were kind enough to service it on the house while gently reminding me to bring it in for full service soon. Update: Sal and team were very kind and educational about my car service when I brought it back in and even cleaned up the exterior while letting me know what to look for with pests and rodents. They are truly personal and quality service

Sal is the nicest guy you would ever want as a neighbor. Lived across the street 15 years ago and he would help me out with my old truck. I’m a car guy and he is so great to talk to if you love or hate cars just go in and talk to him, he’s the best. Don’t let the sports cars intimidate you he loves cars and will give you his honest opinion about any of them. He is the Ferrari Doctor but I know if you brought him a Festiva he would treat you just as well. A truly honest nice Man.

The owner, Sal was the best!! He took my car in as a drop in during my lunch. He was very friendly. He listened to my concerns. When I picked up my car he explained everything in detail why my airbag lights came on. Also encouraged me to call Dealership if any recalls on my car. He also gave me more information to help me explain to the Dealership what I needed. He gave me confidence so I can call the Dealership without feeling stupid. He really showed that he cared. Great service as well!!

Sal Garcia is a trustworthy person and an awesome mechanic. He knows combustion engines, and he loves cars. He’s kept my 2008 Subaru running well and looking good for years. He owns a lovely neighborhood business and does not overcharge or upsell. He goes out of his way to help his customers.

Sal is great! Honest guy who doesn't just try to sell you parts to make money, takes the time to walk you through his diagnoses and gives you the option and the price upfront. Recommend to anyone I know!

My husband and I have been Sal's customers for a couple of years, yesterday I took my dad to Sal to do a diagnostic on his car, and he got it fixed right away! My dad has become part of "the crew" now 😊.

Sal at Waterfront Automobile is an outstanding mechanic—honest, detail-oriented, and incredibly skilled. The standards here are extremely high, and the work is always done right. Everything is explained clearly, with no pressure or unnecessary repairs. He genuinely cares about his clients and is incredibly responsive, even when urgent issues come up outside normal business hours. That level of commitment and care is rare and incredibly reassuring. I highly recommend Waterfront Automobile.
