On 10/1/2025 Amanda Roteman had this to say:
They did a great job when I took my 2016 Jeep Cherokee in for a 100,000 mile tune up. The prices were reasonable and they did not try to sell me on stuff I didn't need. I dropped my car off in the morning and was able to pick it up by lunch time! Will definitely recommend to others!

We have been taking all our vehicles to South Bay Automotive for 18 years, and would not go anywhere else. My daughter in Seattle and Tacoma also bring their vehicles here. The service is excellent, the prices are great, and, best of all, everyone is refreshingly honest. No unnecessary repairs! South Bay Automotive is absolutely the best.
