Landis Auto

We recently purchased a 2005 Honda Element with 83,000 miles from from a local dealership and took our car to Landis for a Service Evaluation. We had never been here before but opted to give them a try as they are a certified Honda repair shop and the reviews claim this place is great. They preformed the service evaluation, which was suppose to include fluids being checked, all filters checked, advise of any leaks, check tune up parts, check tires, and brakes, and also check the suspension and read the codes. We also paid for a top tier oil change too. This place charged us nearly $200 and clearly never did a complete service check on the vehicle because the air filters and cabin filters were never checked and neither was the battery. When I first realized that many of the paid for services were not completed I called to check what was included in a service evaluation because I couldn't find my receipt and they assured me that they would have checked the filters, battery, and everything else we paid for. I found the receipt a day later and the receipt indicated all the items had been completed, so I called them back and they acted like it was no big deal and never even offered an apology. I would not trust another vehicle to this place, very unprofessional and poor service all around!

I moved away from SLO but still bring my car to them for scheduled maintenance and repairs that can wait until I make the four hour drive to SLO! They are incredibly honest with me and tell me when a repair is a necessity versus something that needs to be taken care of within the next few thousand miles. I was quoted twice as much from a mechanic in the Bay Area compared to what Landis charged me for the same repairs. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Landis automotive.

Well...My car was making a making a noise when you made a sharp turn...Took it into a Honda shop in Brea CA. They had it all day and said they could not fix it and to take it to a dealership....Yikes was I sweating...

Came home and took it to Landis...They asked me a couple of questions took it for a test drive. They called me within and 2 hours told me what was wrong with it and told me I could pick it up in an hour.

Got to love that!

Daughter goes to school in SLO her Honda had slight oil leak from oil change in San Diego. I called and spoke with Cris who was very helpful and got her car in same day. Checked the car over called me to discuss. Honest and helpful. Highly recommend them.

This is the absolute best auto repair shop on the central coast. Honest, good workmanship, will stand behind what they do. I will admit, I know close to nothing about my car and I depend on my mechanic to keep my car running. I can trust the guys at Landis to give me the truth about what's going on with my car and charge a fair price for that service. Unlike a certain chain of 3 shops in SLO that charged me $75 to replace a fuse in my old Volvo, I have never felt over charged. Great location too, easy walking to downtown SLO.
