* 0 stars * I waited 22 hours there for their know-it-all mechanic to figure out how to install a new fuel pump in my BMW only to have the fuel supply line come off of the fuel pump 450 miles later causing me to have to tow my car to another shop in Las Vegas to have the job performed correctly. And they got the cheap water pump that they attempted to install returned to them ~ These guys are hacks and their shop is a filthy, run down grease pit ! They scratched the tint on my driver door window, left a gouge in my center console when trying to get my car into neutral and there were greasy hand and finger prints left all over my car !! There were wanna be tough guys staring me down, hostile and unwanted statements were directed at me and one of them even squared up with me attempting to intimidate me. Both the Bureau of Automotive Repair and the Sesaide Police Department agreed with me that they did not execute the proper paper work and had no leg to stand on for making any form of specific payment demands. WHAT A NIGHTMARE !! GO ELSWHERE IF YOU WANT THE JOB DONE RIGHT BY MECHANICS THAT RESPECT YOUR CAR !!

We are a one car family and after my husband and I got off work (4PM) he realized we had something metal that punctured our tire and we were quickly losing tire pressure. We called three shops and went to one but we couldn’t get it fixed anywhere. Green machine didn’t answer so we were just assuming we would have to figure it out, but the gentleman from green machine actually called me back (I didn’t leave a message!) and they got us in right away. We had a BLADE in the tire 😬. They gave us two options, and were the cheapest I’ve ever paid for a tire patch (I may or may not have patched maaaany many tires which has led to quite the knowledge in tire patching prices through out the county). Super great, super kind to our very bored 7 year old who had no choice but to go with us. Definitely will be back, probably for another patched tire knowing my luck.

Thankful praises to Green Machine Auto, promptly scheduling and completing an afternoon oil change, and answering my engine condition questions with experienced examples.

Had a leaking brake line and these guys helped me out a lot. They did everything they could to help out the cost but had a high quality of work. They’re honest guys and would recommend them to anyone.

Excellent service, fast repair.
Ashton Brigati on 11/22/2024
Great service for a great price. Called up this place cause they appeared on Google and I had a hole in my tire. They patched it up on the spot for only 20 dollars and ordered me a new tire. With the new tire + service + patch only cost me 150 and when I came to put the tire on only took five minutes without an appointment.

We came in to Green Machine Automotive on a Saturday when most other auto shops in the area are closed. I had just made a drive across the country and my car definitely needed speedy service. They were extremely accommodating and unbelievably fast, and the service came with a warranty. Something that also stood out to me was their kind and welcoming demeanor and professionalism. The cherry on top was the price; the entire service and labor fee was extremely affordable in comparison to local competitors. I would recommend Green Machine Automotive to anyone in the vicinity in need of car service!

We had a fantastic experience at Green Machine Automotive! We stopped by spontaneously for an oil change, and not only did they accommodate us right away, but they also found and quickly fixed a nail in our tire. The service was fast, professional, and incredibly friendly. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable auto care. Thank you, Green Machine Automotive! Greetings from the two Germans
Mina on 9/3/2024
Very pleasant and professional interaction over the phone as well as in person. They were able to fit me in for an oil change and tire rotation, which was completed in about an hour. I walked to a nearby cafe and had a light breakfast while I waited for a text notification that the service was complete. They kindly addressed the questions I had and informed me of upcoming maintenance needs.

Top of the line service, true professionals would recommend to a friend.
Cindy Lyle on 8/9/2024
Their customer service is unparalled, and they were efficient and thorough in figuring out my car's problem, installing a new alternator and then retesting the car. They even offered me a ride to and from another location, so I wouldn't waste my time waiting for my car. It is a family-owned shop, and everyone was happy and very helpful.
Jody Lopes on 8/2/2024
Green Machine is always prompt, honest and understanding. They have made it easier to care for my car the way I should, making it last longer. They are friendly and they explain car stuff in layman’s terms, not car speak.
McKenzie Phillips on 7/1/2024
They were able to see me same day to get my oil changed. Very efficient. I was able to sit in their office while they got it done. They are always honest and upfront about costs. :) These guys are my go to mechanics for everything!
Star K on 6/20/2024
They were very kind and quick with repairing my Toyota!
Konstanze Assaad on 6/14/2024
After taking care of safety issues on one family car, and replacing an engine on a son's car, they did such good work and provided great service, that I will be taking ANOTHER car in for routine maintenance next week!
Heather Christine on 6/13/2024
This place is an absolute gem. I was having some serious issues with my car and, being new in town, I had no idea who I could trust with my vehicle. Based on the other reviews here, I decided to go with Green Machine. Not only did they take my car within the hour that I called them, but they were quick to diagnose the main issues and did proper testing before fixing anything to make sure I wasn't paying for anything I didn't need. Everyone at the shop was so friendly and respectful. I never got the sense that I was being talked down to or taken advantage of. They thoroughly explained how the various systems worked to be so that I could better understand how to take care of my car in the future. These guys hold themselves to an extremely high standard of competency and integrity. Their pricing is fair and you'll only get the services you need. I will only be using them from now on. Update: I still come here two years later and am just as happy with the service I receive as I was when I first wrote this review.

Quick, efficient service. Clear communication regarding car issues, estimate cost and time.

Amazing service: friendly, efficient, professional and with great sense of humor! The whole team was welcoming and caring! Definitely highly recommend!
Christina Davis on 5/21/2024
Called about a coolant reservoir. Ernesto was so helpful. They fixed it immediately and the customer service was impeccable
Tri Nguyen on 5/15/2024
I was referred here by fiance. I need to go to a different place but this place had really good reviews along with my experience here was great communication. The prices not too overboard cheap as well. I got my struts and shocks done. And also have my check engine light checked on. To help figured out that it was my thermostat and helped fix that problem. Thank you for the good service. Great communication and the place seem bigger than it looks outside.
Philip Venti on 5/13/2024
Went to Green Machine on a Saturday while driving through town. Had a major oil leak. Green Machine was booked with other cars they had in process, but they took the time to diagnose my car and talk me through my options. They even sent me on my way with some paper towels so I could keep an eye on the leak on my way home. I can’t speak for the repair services, but their customer service is excellent.
Mike Kurtow on 5/3/2024
Excellent!

Blake Rowland on 4/29/2024
I had a full engine replacement done at Green Machine and am pretty satisfied with the result. I just got the vehicle back today (04/29/24), but it seems to all be working fine and there are no codes being thrown. If something comes up I will update here. Overall customer service of the shop was amazing. Ernesto is very nice and willing to explain everything that is going on and will immediately let you know if anything else arises that needs attention. The price is about as good as you could hope for. It is a fair, honest price for honest work. There was never a time where I felt like I was being ripped off or taken advantage of. In my case the total cost still came out to be about $2000 less than what the dealership quoted me for an engine replacement. If you are contemplating whether or not to go to Green Machine, I recommend that you do. They are more than capable of jobs both big and small and will be honest with you about it.
DJ Markemup on 4/24/2024
Only place in town that actually put forth effort into repairing my vehicle (the right way). Super professional and a welcoming vibe. Extremely happy with the results.

called an hour before closing on a Saturday, needed to get checked for coolant leaks and they were very quick and understanding and helpful. Definitely coming back if I have any issues in the future in the Monterey Bay Area. Recommend to friends. Thank you guys again.

Great crew at Green Machine Auto. I can always count on them to take excellent care of my car. Highly recommend
Anthony on 1/13/2024
Needed a hub pressed out after an on track accident at Laguna Seca. These guys pushed me to the front of line and got the job done so we were back on track. Thank you Green Machine Automotive
E.V. O'Barr on 11/23/2023
You know, sometimes you just get lucky. I feel like I lucked out choosing Green Machine knowing nothing about them, just based off reviews. I'm SO GLAD we went with them. Our van needed so many things- brakes, calipers, engine mounts, spark plugs, suspension, oil change, air filters, gas cap (and a partridge in a pear tree). The repairs weren't cheap, but they weren't outrageously expensive either, especially considering everything that needed doing. And they got it done SAME DAY. When we went to pick up our van, not only was the outside cleaner than it's basically ever been, but he opened up the hood and we were shocked, because the -engine- was clean. It looked like whatever they hadn't replaced they cleaned. Top notch service as well- everyone we talked to was polite and friendly. Thank you guys SO MUCH!
Caddie Whisperer on 10/9/2023
The Green Machine is awesome. Sabino runs the show and he is fair and honest. The work we had done was flawless. I highly recommend.
R. Liriano on 7/11/2023
For inspections, maintenance and repairs, couldn’t have found a better place. Quality work and fast. My cars are usually returned the same day. Extremely recommended!
Billy Frye on 5/24/2023
Fast CVT transmission service no B.S. brought my own fluids and they did very through research to make sure I got the right stuff
Frankie Raphael on 1/13/2023
Very thorough and thoughtful for Saturday service. They do charge a bit much, but hey they're fast, reliable, and open on Saturdays!
Chloe Dinardi on 12/3/2022
so thankful to have found this place. they helped me diagnose my issue, and get it fixed as soon as possible. they were so kind. I was traveling from MD! I got back on the road as fast as they could. thank you all so much!
Mayra Valdes on 11/17/2022
I needed major work done (engine problems) on my 2006 Dodge Charger. My brother recommended Green Machine Automotive in Seaside. I couldn't have chosen a better place. Hard work from the guys at the shop, trustworthy, and honest. Very happy with the service provided. Andre was very attentive and informative when it came to listening to my concerns and explaining his diagnose. Had communication with me thru the whole repair. Thank you, Sabino, for lending a helping hand. Ernesto was friendly and able to explain the invoice upon my request. The repair was completed in a timely manner. Will definitely continue on bringing my vehicle to Green Machine Automotive for any future repairs/ preventative care. Thank you for all the hard work, greatly appreciated.
Margot Pottier on 10/14/2022
I have been coming to Sabino’s garage for years now for all my cars. The work is outstanding and I trust them very much. I have never met mechanics as honest and professional as them before. I highly recommend.
Savannah Partlow on 7/14/2022
Green Machine Auto for the win! I just came into town after a road trip thru the desert and went in with what I THOUGHT was a coolant leak. I was reassured it was AC condensate, a no-worries issue, upon arrival (free of charge), but asked to have the car checked out anyway for our trip home. Couple minor issues spotted, NO coolant leak, but I opted to have the other items fixed in the end, since these guys are clearly trustworthy! Thanks again, for the great service!
Luis Garcia on 7/6/2022
Fantastic service, fair prices. Ernesto really helped my Kia pass the smog test.
Wavy E90 on 12/15/2021
The reason why I give them a 5 star rate is because the customer service was on point. Sabino, Ernesto, Brandon are very helpful people. They explain and show you what’s wrong with your car. I took my 2007 Bmw 335i to get it diagnosed and it turned out to be my transmission and Ernesto found me a used transmission with warranty that same day. I would recommend everyone to swing by and get your car fixed at Green Machine.
Filipp Kashirtsev on 11/24/2021
Great car repair shop. Cheapest oil change I was able to find after calling about 7 or 8 different places. Guys that work there are cool and nice. No one makes you feel dumb or taken advantage of. Would recommend and go again
Judi on 11/19/2021
Hard working respectable mechanics. If I didn’t have to move out of California I’d be a client for life.
Alvin Sosa on 8/9/2021
