Lavender Brothers Automotive

I just moved back into town a few months ago. Prior to visiting Lavender Brothers, I drove all the way to San Jose to my car’s dealership. Since I purchased my car almost 9 years ago I had gone to the dealership for all service. After visiting the dealership in CA and being recommended to replace something out of my budget, I started calling local shops. I had Lavender Brothers on my list from a month prior when I needed my brakes fixed, but someone else was recommended and I used them instead (big mistake as Lavender Brothers found what they had done incorrectly). After calling about 10 local shops, with some quoting higher than the dealership, I was able to talk to Toby. Toby is the owner and he did not give me any sales pitch, he explained why he doesn’t quote over the phone and why it’

Amazing crew, Robin in particular kept me informed and very helpful whole time. Had a rear diff repaired and some other things that came their attention. Stayed past closing on a friday till we got the parts in and installed. New shop found!

I have been using Lavender Brothers for a few years for our F-150 and our Subaru and have nothing but great things to say.

I have also spoken with Abraham, and he too was very communicative and explained the issues. I originally came to them during the pandemic as the dealership was unable to get a part we needed. Lavender Brothers suggested possi

Top notch knowledge and service. Did a front to back wiring harness plus more on my truck in 3 days. All the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. No need to take any of my vehicles elsewhere. Lavender brothers has my business for life.

I have been having cars repaired for over 40 years and I recently had an experience that blew my mind. Lavender Bothers in Seaside is an anomaly, a one-of-a-kind and a godsend. From the moment I called to say my brand new brakes (unfortunately, not from them) were making a terrifyingly loud grinding noise and I was afraid to drive the 45 miles back to the shop that installed them, until the problem was diagnosed and repaired 4 hours later, they were professional, helpful, and kind. Not to mention, extremely capable!They diagnosed an error in the installation of one of the calipers (no grease!), fixed the problem and… (drumroll…) negotiated with the original installer to have them pay the bill! You read that right, I did not pay a penny to the Lavender Brothers. In addition, they explained
