The Neighbor's Kid Auto Repair — Sebastopol's Family-Run Shop That Actually Gives a Damn Expert Auto Repair in Sebastopol, CA | Serving West Sonoma County Since 2021 We're Erik and Zack — a father-son team running an honest auto repair shop at 6760 Depot St Unit C, Sebastopol, CA 95472. No corporate BS. No upselling you stuff you don't need. Just straightforward diagnostics, fair prices, and quality work that lasts. Call us at (707) 824-2517 or stop by. We'll tell you what's actually wrong with your car, not what makes us the most money. What We Fix (Pretty Much Everything) Our ASE-certified techs handle: Engine & Drivetrain Check engine light diagnostics (we actually explain what the codes mean) Engine rebuilds with 5-year/60,000-mile warranty Transmission service and major repairs Timing belt/chain replacement Brakes & Safety Systems Brake pad and rotor replacement Complete brake system overhauls ABS diagnostics and repair Safety inspections Suspension & Steering Shocks, struts, and suspension repair Wheel alignment (especially important on West County's winding roads) Steering system diagnostics Electrical & Maintenance Battery testing and replacement Alternator and starter repair Full electrical diagnostics Oil changes (yeah, we do those too, but we're not trying to be Jiffy Lube) We specialize in Japanese imports (Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Subaru) and domestic vehicles, but we'll work on anything with four wheels if we think we can help. Serving Sebastopol's Neighborhoods — We're Literally Down the Street Whether you're grabbing coffee on Main Street, working at The Barlow, or living up in the hills, we're your local shop: Central Sebastopol: Downtown Residential, Main Street District, Florence Avenue Area, Park Village North & West: Gravenstein Highway North, Burbank Heights, Fircrest, Gold Ridge South & East: Gravenstein Highway South, Laguna de Santa Rosa Commercial Districts: Downtown Sebastopol, The Barlow If you can see the water tower, you're close enough to drop by. West County's Go-To Shop (Because Your Options Are Limited Out Here) We're one of the only full-service repair shops in West Sonoma County that isn't trying to charge you Marin County prices. People drive to us from: Nearby West County Towns: Graton, Forestville, Occidental, Freestone, Bodega, Bodega Bay Russian River Area: Guerneville, Monte Rio, Duncan Mills, Jenner, Cazadero Coastal Communities: Sea Ranch, Valley Ford We get it — living out here is amazing until your car breaks down and the nearest dealer is 30 miles away. That's why we keep emergency slots open every day for locals who need help fast. Why People Actually Like Coming Here We're Not Trying to Win Friendliest Shop Awards We're polite and professional, but we'd rather fix your car right than sell you on a "customer experience." If your mechanic talks more about their customer service than your transmission, find a new mechanic. You'll Know What's Happening Before we touch anything, you'll get a full inspection with photos, a clear explanation of what needs fixing now vs. later, and an upfront estimate. No surprise charges. Ever. We Stand Behind Our Work 24-month/12,000-mile warranty on repairs. If we build your engine, you get 5 years/60,000 miles. We don't warranty other people's mistakes, but we'll fix them. We're Not Corporate Erik's a retired tech exec who got tired of Silicon Valley. Zack built BMW engines in high school. We opened this shop to do work we're proud of, not to franchise it and cash out. When you call, you talk to us — not a service advisor reading from a script. Real Talk: When NOT to Come Here We're not the cheapest shop in town. If you want a $29.99 oil change, go to one of those quick-lube places. We don't do body work or paint. We fix what makes your car go, stop, and steer. We're not open Sundays. Sometimes not Saturdays either. We're a two-bay shop with a small team — if you need same-day service on a Saturday, call first. If you drive a high-end European car (Porsche, Mercedes S-Class, newer BMW), we CAN work on it, but you might be happier at a specialist shop that only does those brands. We're generalists who care more about the repair than the badge.
