It was a lot of fun and a great experience teaching these amazing people. It's always a good idea to know about your car for safety and maintenance.

Services
Our mechanics also service most types of recreational vehicles, boats, and motor homes. We use sophisticated diagnostic computers to find out why your check engine light went on and identify any other problems with your vehicle. Here is a list of some of the services that we offer. Feel free to contact us to see if you think that there are any other ways that we can help you with your vehicle.
All Around Auto Repair has been Windsor's most reputable auto repair shop since it was founded in 2001. The owner, Dale Johnson always strives to provide the best auto repair and auto maintenance services in the Windsor, Larkfield, Wikiup, and Santa Rosa, CA areas. Dale has provided automotive repair services for over 20 years and always enjoys helping customers in Sonoma County.
A regular oil change lubricates your engine in the short term and provides long-term protection by actually cleaning your engine's parts as it goes about its business of taking you from point A to point B. A good synthetic oil will actually hold accumulated junk so that it doesn't damage your engine while it lubricates your engine's parts.
You may not spend a lot of time thinking about your brakes - and that's certainly not what keeps most people up at night! - but your brakes do need to be inspected by a reputable autoshop every once in a while. How often do you need to repair your brake pads? The auto experts recommend replacing your brake pads every 50,000 miles, but some vehicle owners under rough driving conditions might need new brake pads every 25,000 miles.
While your owner's manual will have slightly different recommendations for how often to replace your fluids, filters, timing belts, and tires, the trained auto service mechanics at All Around Auto Repair have electronic diagnostic tools to tell whether parts have worn out before their time.

This place is great!!! Dale is very knowledgeable and more importantly he’s trustworthy. I usually do most of my own repairs, and am skeptical whenever I need to take my car in for work. I recently moved, did a web search, and got lucky finding All Around Auto. My car left me stranded and within a day or so of having it towed to the shop it was up and running. I would absolutely recommend All Around Auto to anyone looking for an excellent mechanic.

Got an estimate from that "Mctire" place and All Around Auto Repair crushed that price! They got me right in and got me back on the road same day. They are polite and you really get the feel of that old school customer service and confidence that you just can't get from those big service push the upcharge guys. I'll bring all my vehicles to them from now on.

Travelling down the coast from Montana the carrier bearing wore out on my 05 Ram 1 ton near Monte Rio. I limped it and the trailer to the Walmart parking lot in Windsor. I was able to take the drive shaft out but my bearing puller failed. I called Dale at All Round Auto and after telling him my situation the man didn't miss beat. He offered and then came over and picked up the drive shaft where I was parked at the Walmart took it back to a shop and prepared it and put the new bearing on and brought it back. You could not hope to find someone more friendly and willing to help out than Dale. If there

Dale has helped me over several years with multiple projects on multiple vehicles. He has helped me on everything from an oil change to putting ground effects lighting on my truck. Dale is always easy to work with, flexible, talented and he does a great job every time. That is not the best part about Dale or his business though, the best part is he is honest, professional and extremely focused on customer service. I would recommend this business to anyone for any mechanical or maintenance issue you have for any vehicle. It’s hard to find honest mechanics these days, Windsor is blessed to have

I had been using the same mechanic for over 20yrs and then he retired. I was looking around for a new mechanic and was scrolling through Google for mechanics near Windsor. I came across all around auto and read the reviews. Seemed like an honest and straight forward place so I decided to give them a shot. I had an issue with both of my rear windows not rolling down. I had replaced switches and did everything I could with my minimal knowledge. I called them up and asked them if they could take a look and repair it. They were professional and straight forward. I was able to get my car in to the shop

Dale is absolutely amazing! I have been bringing my car to him for the past 4 years and he has NEVER done anything to make me feel he is out to get me. As a matter of fact, I first brought my car to him when the check engine light came on and off, and rather than charge me to diagnose the car or sell me some BS story on some work needed, he ran my car through the computer for free and told me all was fine and charged me $0! Apparently he was right cause 4 years later the car has given me zero problems. Since that first interaction with him I have decided to bring my cars to him for oil changes

This is long overdue but this place is pretty amazing. My husband and I were on a mini getaway trip for our wedding anniversary and the morning of all our anniversary plans, our car was stuck at our hotel parking lot. Turned out our serpentine belt came off! We searched for a nearby mechanic and this place came up the closet, called and they were able to help us out. Long story short, they were able to pick up the parts we needed, repaired it within a few hours and were able to enjoy the afternoon celebration for our anniversary. Thanks Dale for being so great!

First off Dale is the man! I used to take my car to just any shop but now I really narrow down to just sticking with an Honest Mechanic I definitely learned my lesson with getting newbies working on my stuff I won't say names but anyway on a good note From just an oil change to suspension work Dale with All Around Auto Repair has made me feel 100% comfortable with trusting him to work on my car, He gives you the pros and cons before you decide on the type of work you think you need done, That way you can plan to put your money on something that will actually make a difference I will definitely

I was referred by a reputable source to this shop and they've gone above & beyond.
I took my VW to them with a dealership laundry list that was presented to me as "necessary within 500 miles" (along with a little bit of scare tactic). Dale gave me options to choose from: to-the-point specific part repair vs more complete system repair (while explaining the benefits of either choice)... "critical to do now" repairs vs "keep an eye on it" repairs, and what didn't need to be done at all. Drop-off and pick up were easy before and after business hours and

I chose this auto shop after driving by on my way to my brothers business. Dale, the owner, is so kind and professional. I ordered a couple of air filters and needed to have them installed.
They were kind enough to take time out of their busy day to help me out.
I would recommend them to everyone and I will be returning.
Thanks guys!

Dale (the owner) of this business is wonderful. He is HONEST, accommodating, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. He has helped us with several cars over the years and every experience/job has been professional, fairly priced, and done with integrity. If you need work done on your car, you cannot go wrong using All Around Auto Repair. T

Really great guy that works here. He couldn't fix my car but he did lead me in the right direction to get it fixed, and he actually helped me save A LOT of money!!!
Good man that runs this shop, you can tell just by being in his office. He really cares about helping his customers and he's not gunna rip you off to earn and extra dime.

Dale is a great guy and just had a fantastic experience.
Was here stuck in my 65 in Windsor across the fwy from his shop at the Wal Mart.
He jumped in his truck and drove over here. Found my problem in 30 seconds and wouldn't even take a few bucks for the trouble.
Guys like that are rare so the least I could do is write a review.
Recommend highly.
