Your vehicle's battery is the source of electrical currents necessary to start the engine. The battery provides power to your vehicle's accessories and electrical parts; it allows them to operate even when your vehicle's engine is not running. Additionally, components such as your engine and starter rely on the battery for power; they cannot run without a properly functioning battery.
Brakes are pretty much the most important safety device on your car. If you've ever partially lost your brakes in the past, you'll agree that it's not something you want to experience again. Inspecting your brakes twice a year for wear and damage can protect you and your passengers. Additionally, it will also help save you money by catching any damage before it becomes too costly.

Called because my check engine light recently came on. Jack agreed to have me drop in to get the code read. Very response and helpful.

I'm not at all impressed with this repair shop.
Every time I came back to pick up my car, there was always an additional charge for something I didn't ask for.
They were always changing parts on my car (Toyota) that wasn't really needed at the time.
ie. If it's not broken, why fix it??

Got my car fixed last year by Neuhaus service. Their employees are very professional and informative. They go above and beyond to make sure our questions are answered. Would 100% recommend to anyone who needs their auto repaired at a reasonable rate. As always I have found their work on my car timely, well done. I won't go anywhere else.

RE: Prius headlight bulbs replaced here. Skill level: expert. This rating is due to all aspects of interaction with Jack Neuhaus, original owner and proprietor.

Jack called me back after I left a message and gave me an accurate time and cost estimate (1/4th the cost that the Novato Toyota Dealership quoted me, and no overnight wait) over the phone. He cited his experience with the bulbs when I called back to express my concern and explain these are not ordinary, accessible, ergonomic headlamps like other cars have.

He replaced the bulbs in both headlamps with expertise and efficiency. The bays

I do all my auto maintenance work myself and I will take on some repair work beyond my experience level to avoid taking my car to a mechanic. I found Neuhaus by accident and I have used his service twice for repairs that were more than I could handle at the time. I am not easy to please but I have been satisfied with his service and he gave me some good advice on future repair work that I told him I would be doing myself. If I have a work that is best performed with a lift and I am just not feeling up to it I won't hesitate to use Neuhaus again. I think that says a lot.

I switched from the Infiniti dealer service department to Neuhaus Service about three years ago and have never looked back. I convinced my husband to get his Lexus serviced at Neuhaus also and he is very happy with the switch from the dealer.

Jack Neuhaus is professional, knowledgeable, and just an all around nice person. He does what he says he will on time and at a fair price. The Neuhaus Service slogan is "Quality service and repair at reasonable rates" -- this is one place where it's actually true!

Jack is an honest, fair and all around great mechanic. He has been working on my car for 10+ years and I will never take my cars anywhere else. I moved to San Francisco and still come back to San Rafael for all my car needs. If you have a Japanese or domestic car, Neuhaus is your place.

I was referred here by a friend after my usual mechanic that I'd been going to for years sadly went out of business. As someone who doesn't know anything about cars it can be a little daunting trying to find a new mechanic. I am so so happy I came here! They are so friendly and based on the myriad of problems Jack helped me with the price was more than fair. Jack was kind, helpful, and happy to share his knowledge. Also, their covid-19 safety protocols are the best I've seen of any business which just goes to show their thoughtfulness. Not surprised to see they have uniformly stellar

Jack is an amazing mechanic. My dad has been using his services for 5 years and now that I’m driving he brought me to Neuhaus as well. The morning of my behind the wheel test we showed up exactly at 8 because the night before my headlight had gone out and we needed it changed right away. Jack took about 5 minutes to diagnose and solve the problem. He then refused any payment because it was a “simple” repair. But for me it meant the difference between taking my driving test and not. He sent us on our way with plenty of time to spare. I will never go anywhere else.

Jack is a throwback to the times of honest people.
I was referred to him by Costco to solve a problem years ago, and now the whole family uses him.
Not cheap, by some measures, but always a value and owns up to any issues.

Jack was actually referred to me by a service tech at the Lexus Dealership. He solved my transmission issue with ease and very little expense. He has shown himself, to be honest, highly competent and a good value. Twice this year he has bailed me out of issues that could have been a much larger expense elsewhere. Every customer seems to know him and speaks with him like an old friend. The highest of recommendations.

All the reviews re: Neuhaus & Jack's top rate customer service are spot on. It seems unfortunate that these days, finding a trustworthy mechanic who understands & values clients and delivers at providing the best experience is a rarity. As a new customer, Jack was patient, beyond polite, and completely willing to work with me after explaining to him my crazy schedule. Repair (brake pad replacement) only took a few hours and Jack even took the time to show me the old pads and providing a full assessment...all, thankfully, without breaking the bank. Rates are super competitive but

I had both car batteries die the same day. I drove into Neuhaus Service 10 minutes before the opened without an appointment. They didn't have my truck battery in stock, so he said to come back in 90 minutes. I came back in an hour and he swapped it out in 11 minutes.

So I drove home and picked up my car, which also needed a new battery. He had that one in stock. It took him 10 minutes to swap out that one, AND he repaired my hood release AND checked all of 5 of my tires air pressure since the TPMS warning light was illuminated indicating "Low Tire Pressure."

Highly recommend

I can not recommend Jack Neuhaus enough. I found him through searching for a reliable mechanic here on Yelp, and my experience was so good that I will only go to him from here on out.

My car was making an awful noise, but I didn't have the words to describe it well to him. I tried my best. As a woman without a good understanding of how cars work, I have often felt intimated going to mechanics because I don't know who to trust and I don't like being "mansplained" to. Jack never made me feel that way. He took the time to help me understand the issue with my car was and

Jack Neuhaus was recommended by Crebassa's Auto Body. I took my Hyundai to him for routine service and examination of an exhaust problem. Jack handled the service well (how he manages to do good work while still fielding calls so politely is a mystery, and should be an inspiration to every other service company out there).

Jack did good work at a fair price, and recommended that I go to the dealer to resolve the exhaust problem (in case it was covered by warranty). This wound up saving me some money. Thanks again, Jack. See you soon.

I just moved to the area and purchased an older Toyota 4runner recently, hence the search for finding that forever mechanic commenced. As a young female that is incredibly intimidated by mechanics due to past experiences, the search has been difficult. Then came in Jack and Valerie.

I called Valerie and spoke to her about a leak I was encountering but also to establish a mechanic relationship for my recently purchased used vehicle. Right away, I could tell that I found my place just based off the conversation with Valerie. She was able to squeeze me in with Jack to make sure that the leak wasn

Stop reading this now, and start looking through the list of reviews for Jack. Do you see ANY that aren't five stars? Nope, neither do I. When we moved to Marin 11 years ago, we had a new Lexus Htybrid SUV and were looking for a mechanic to take care of it. One of our neighbors mentioned Neuhaus and how they had a specialty in Toyota and other Japanese makes. I took the car there for an oil change, and after spending just two minutes talking to Jack I knew we'd found the right place.

Here we are, 11 years, 40 oil changes, some minor repairs and 160,000 miles later. In all this time
