I was very impressed with my first time experience at K-Tech. I needed a place to only have my oil changed in Sebastopol and wow. The amount of work done to my truck and use of a loaner, I was totally surprised at the service, and very grateful to the front desk to the service done. Top notch and thorough.

Booked an appointment for 9AM on Monday the week prior. I called earlier than the appointment and notified we would be late. I was not advised of any issues or potential delays. Appointment arrived at 930. A printer problem delayed the vehicle being worked on until 10:37. We were quoted $319 for an alignment. Then we saw the vehicle LEAVE THE FACILITY being driven by an employee to their "other shop that has an alignment machine" at 10:39.
11:13 the car comes back and is "complete".
$319 for less than 30 minutes of work, including a short drive.
This was the most absurd alignment job ever.

My Explorer was there for 5 weeks while they tried to find out what was wrong with it.
I finally had it towed to another shop and I wanted to put a Big Sign on the side of my car saying: Another Happy K Tech Customer !
I wasted over $1000.00 there and their recommendation for further work was Incorrect.
My Explorer is now fixed thanks to another shop and I'm still waiting for K Tech's owner to respond to my phone call 3 business days ago.
Their website says Owned & Operated by a Mercedes Benz master technician but that is pretty far from the truth !
Stay Away unless you have Tons of time and

K-Tech advertises that they are great support for women customers so that they don't get ripped off. Well, I am telling you, don't go to K-Tech no matter who you are! First, it took over 40 minutes to check me in and I was the first one there! Totally disorganized. Then they gave me the most disgusting loaner car in the universe; the seat covers were old, ripped and stained and it stank to high heaven in that car. They changed the oil when I had told them not o since it had just been done. Charged me way too much for some basic stuff like changing filters etc. THEN the estimate they gave me for

Rodents got into the engine compartment of my hybrid Chevy Volt and chewed some wiring; Tia of K-Tech told me they have a certified hybrid mechanic, so I had the car towed to their shop. They found the bad wiring immediately and gave me a detailed and prompt estimate. The work was completed on time, on budget and I couldn't be happier. I will definitely return to their shop for routine oil changes, tire rotations and such. I'm glad to have found them; a pleasure to deal with.

I bought a used car and took it in for a check up and they did only the services that I requested. What was really amazing is they included an inspection of vehicle and the report they produced was extremely thorough. The detailed report provided pictures showing areas of concern and they provided a copy that was emailed to me. The car was returned washed and tires were detailed and looked sparking. And they even provided a 2-year 24,000 mile Nationwide warranty. All this was well worth the money.

At first I was told $200 est for a simple coolant hose repair. That it would be ready the next day by tia. Then after I was told a ton of extra things had to be done by another tech. Then I was told by tia everything was expected to be done Tuesday. Then tia called me back and said that air had gotten into the coolant system and that it had to be flushed out so it wasn't going to be ready until the next morning. Then when I got there at 12pm the next day. I saw that the hood was still up on my car. So I waited around In Sebastopol until 4pm hoping to finally get my car back after a week. Arriving

We have an aging Prius with over 185k. Our hybrid battery started to have problems triggering error codes. With feedback from Toyota interpreting these codes, it was determined that the battery had reached end of life. K-Tech was able to locate a brand new Toyota battery and replace it all within the same day, and at a reasonable cost. The car runs like new. Very pleased.

One of the worst mechanic experiences I've had to date. They ended up quoting me over $6,000 for all repairs. I went with the fewest, and only most necessary repairs and got it down to about $1,200. In looking over this invoice, they charged me many hundred dollars just for a few simple diagnostic questions (about $300 for checking why my rear cabin light wasn't working only to advise that I bring it to a wiring place instead. That's just example, there's more).
When I brought it to another mechanic in Santa Rosa they were shocked by the price of the quote. I ended up fixing

K-Tech has been awesome. We moved to Sebastopol recently and needed to have our car serviced and found K-Tech online. We were attracted by their commitment to being Green and their support of the community in addition to being a woman-owned company. They've been super responsive to our needs. We had an emergency radiator failure on the way home with 3 dogs in the car. After getting it towed to K-Tech near the end of a work day, they ordered the radiator right away so we could have the car the next day AND let us use a loaner car. In addition, their office manager, Monica, manages to

I drove to Sebastopol from Pennsylvania with a friend and we had an issue a few hundred miles shy of our destination. Monica and the crew at K-Tech fixed up the car (busted water pump) for a reasonable price and then followed up a week later with a phone call. I took my Chevy Malibu back a few weeks later for a check up before heading east. They gave me this check up for free, since they guarantee all of their work. They found another issue and fixed it expeditiously ( I had been driving my car on some very rough roads). I felt safe and comfortable hitting the road and driving 3000 miles back home

K-Tech was already a bit too expensive for me, which was maybe justifiable given their location (I live a block away) and friendliness. But now I can't trust their work. I need to take my business and recommendations elsewhere.
I'm choosing to drive 20miles to a more affordable shop with a fair warranty.
I visited K-Tech in 2014 to do my Subaru's front wheel bearings & hubs. Recently I learned that their work on my front-right bearing has prematurely failed. The car has been deemed unsafe to drive by another mechanic.
There's additionally a downstream of repairs that

I had a great first time experience with K-Tech! Excellent customer service. Monica was really friendly, knowledgeable, and went out of her way to find an affordable solution to my car trouble while keeping me updated each step of the way. I also love that there is a 2 year warranty on the part, which gives me peace of mind. Great location off of downtown Sebastopol. Really appreciate that they participate in the GoLocal rewards bucks program and their refer-a-friend program (got to give a free oil change to my friend who sent me to them). I plan to go back next time I need work done.

BOTTOM LINE: Lie, cheat, steal, gouge; no honor or integrity; incompetent. greedy. In 40+ years of maintaining a vehicle, this is the first time I have ever filed complaints with consumer protection agencies such as CA BAR and BBB. Kate and her business ktech is by far, the very worst experience I have ever had with an auto repair facility. you pay premium rates for cheap parts and shoddy labor. If you are considering ktech as an option, don't. do yourself one huge favor and go anywhere else.
