"I've been taking my saab to them since I moved here in 1997. Only two words necessary: "utterly trustworthy.""
I give Dorso's Automotive Repair 5 Stars and Two Wrenches up. This shop treats my beloved Chrysler 300M as if was Rick's own. He lets me know what my car is in need of and if his shop can not do the repairs it needs, he gives me recommendations to where I can get it done. He even gave me a coupon to get my smog test done. The bad review that was given was uncalled for. I discussed this review with Rick and I now know that it was unwarranted. It's like a person going to a doctor for an evaluation of a problem and not wanting to pay the evaluation fee. Go figure. If you want your vehicle serviced right and with factory products go to Dorso's Automotive.
I heard of this place via the other Yelp review. I gave Rick a call and he was very friendly - I told him my car was making a noise and I needed someone to check it out. He had me come on over and he was willing to hop in the car and go for a ride with me to figure out what was up. He immediately identified what was wrong and I left my car with him to more fully examine. I received a timely call with a short list of repairs - he didn't push to do anything other than what I had originally asked him about (brakes). He was interested in taking care of my car and me, not squeezing me for every last cent. The brake job they did was great.
My wife went to pick the car up and she said Rick was very helpful and patiently explained to her everything he had done and what was going on with the car. Sometimes mechanics can be condescending to women but my wife was happy with the way Rick interacted with her.
I'll definitely be bringing my car back when I need it worked on again.
UPDATE as of 3/20/08:
My wife and I have brought our cars here over the past year and had consistently good results. Tom and Rick always clearly explain what's up with the car, break down every charge on the bill when you pay, etc. My impression is they don't want to make money by ripping you off like some mechanics do. Instead, they want to provide solid, friendly, honest service so they have repeat customers. Imagine that!

Unfortunately I live in Sunnyvale, so It's hards for me to get to Rick over at Dorsos these days. He's been our family mechanic for years, and I trust him with anything. Dorsos isn't the cheapest place around, but the work they do is top notch, and Rick will spend the time to really help you out. Very good place and I recommend to everyone.
