Independence Car Service

Did a 60k mile service for a Subaru Outback. Got quick, quality and no nonsense work for a reasonable price. Gave me extra confidence driving the family around snow and ice in lake Tahoe.

Took my Honda Accord to Vladimir right when he first opened back when he had an ad in the Palo Alto times, this was around 2003. My Check engine light came on and I took it in for a diagnostic. I came back later and told me the computer chip went out. But don’t worry he said I called Honda and it’s a recall item and they will replace it for free. I asked him how much do I owe you, just the diagnostic he told me. I appreciate his honesty and integrity. He could ripped me off, but he didn’t. Since then I’ve always taken my cars to him and Michael. He works on my Tundra and Acura and they run solid. He even scolded my wife because she had bald tires. I’ll take my cars to them as long as they are open.

Good service and polite technicians. Not the cheapest and their suggestions for repair were fine but perhaps not the greatest. They recommended far less repairs than what is required on my old car. So a bit dicey there.
