Motoring Specialists

First time here for an oil change and they are very professional at it. Offered me a complimentary ride and a car wash. This will be my go to place for all car services/​repairs.

A first class business! We had just moved here and happened upon their mail flyer. What an outstanding experience. They are extremely friendly and professional. The shuttle service was an unexpected pleasant surprise. They even washed our car and followed up with a hand written thank-​you letter. We will absolutely bring our cars back.

Brought my car in to change the air filter. Was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Would definitely recommend!

Rated 5 star shop in Vacaville. It’s hard to find good trustworthy shops now days. Vacaville is very lucky to have motoring specialists to be there for us when we need them. At the end of the day it comes down to «you get what you pay for»

Always wonderful– honest and I value their opinions. I’ve a 98 Volvo. Wouldn’t take it anywhere else!

Great service on my Chevy Suburban. I was surprised that they worked on American cars and I am very happy that I chose to have my work done here. I had a transmission leak that was resolved by changing the fluid and pan gasket.
My car was unexpectedly washed when I picked it up, a nice surprise. I could not have had a better auto shop experience!

Fantastic service! Much more affordable than the dealer! I trust them more than the dealer since the dealer misdiagnosed my vehicle. These people are the best! Keep it up, and THANKS!!!

Phenomenal service! Great people. Larry is one of those persons who is a great down to earth guy but who happens to be incredibly talented and knowledgable with what he does. The shop is very clean which I look for because it tells me that you have standards and are attentive to detail. Integrity and competence are the hallmarks of a great mechanic and you will find it at motoring specialists.

I had heard good things about Motoring Specialists from my co-​workers
I brought my Porsche Boxster in for service and they were very professional and did good work. They are very reasonable in price. I highly recommend them

My 2001 Landrover Discovery broke down in Vacaville. Motoring Specialist diagnosed the problem, repaired it and had the car back on the road in under 3 hours. Much better then expected. Thanks! Very happy with the service!

I needed my crank shaft seal replaced on my 92 Honda civic. They also found a bad camshaft seal. They were all booked up but still took me right in. Great job. God forbid I have any more car problems down here but if I do I will definitely bring it to them for repair.

When the truck broke down on the way back from Napa last Wednesday at 4:35 p.m. I had to have it towed to a shop in Vacaville. I called 3 other repair shops and none would stay open after 5:00 except Motoring Specialists. Pam was very nice on the phone and everyone was very nice once we arrived at the shop.
Unfortunately, the $ 1,800 in repairs to the old 1999 Dodge Ram truck would have been far more than it was worth so I opted to to leave the truck and donate it to the veterans. Pam was extremely helpful with everything and she really went above and beyond what any other shop would have done.
If you live in Vacaville, or happen to break down there, I highly recommend Motoring Specialists.

Had a small leak from the rear seal of my transfer case on my LandCruiser. It was not much of a leak, but then again t-​cases only hold like 2 quarts of oil. Plus there’s no light on the dash to tell you it’s running hot or out of oil. So this needed attention pronto. I ordered the seal from Toyota and made an appointment to have it installed. It took about two hours of work, but they did a great job. I even got to see what my t-​case looked like on the inside. Great work and super reasonable rates.

This is a honest review. I am not sure why it was filtered… but I am contacting Unilocal to find out…

In Jan. the transmission went out in my car and I took it to Motoring Specialists after calling around… not only did they have a great price for repairs… but had great attitudes about my situation also… they now have all my business… all 3 vehicles… they worked with me not against me… GREAT place and GREAT service and that makes me a Hapylady… also the warranty on the work performed is 24 months or 24 thousand miles… the dealer only offered 12 months or 12 thousand miles. tells me they are more confident than the dealer…
Not sure why Unilocal filtered this… Please keep this review un filtered…
Thanks Pam

Our radiator went out on our only vehicle! We called and got it done the same day. Very friendly staff and competent mechanic!

Very friendly, and went above and beyond with washing my car and topping off all my fluids! It’s hard to find that kind of customer service. Will continue to take my car here!

The Guys here are very professional and have did my 2006 BMW 750 LI maintenance and repairs since 2009. There has always been great communication and quality work. Also being local and not getting screwed with dealer mark up is great. A few occasions they have found my computer just needed to be reset after I changed the brakes myself, no charge it took less than 5 mins. They are very honest .
I am not crazy, I go to various BMW sites to confirm similar auto issues with my car and these guys are spot on.
I believe in these guys

I have lived in Solano County for over 35 years and can tell you some serious stories about shitty mechanics, but these guys are the real deal Good guys

Had a meeting in Vacaville and ended up having some car problems. Took it in to the shop and got friendly service and car was taken care of with no problems. Thanks guys!

Great service. Very friendly! Had no issues with my service.

I found this place after being reccomended by a friend. I have been going here for 2 or 3 years now and somewhere in the last 12 months have noticed a change. At first it was a wonderful place, honest and always helpful. I have been returning with my BMW until now but I get the feeling it is now more about making money, no matter what you go in for there is always problems. They always have to wait (2 – 3 days seems to be average now) for parts and there is always problems (either can’t get the old parts off or new parts wont fit or are more expensive than expected). They are now more interested in runnig up the bill than doing the work. Shame really since they were one of the best until they lost there way. They aren’t trustworthy anymore. Guess I’ll have to find somwhere else. Too bad they were just down the street from my house too.
