Hi Dear Customers. With the Corona Virus Concern, we have put some options in place for you! You may drop off your car and put the keys through our key-drop slot without having to come in. Also, you can take care of payment on-line or over the phone, then pick up your car with the keys in a clean bag, ready for you to go. You do not need to come in to the office.... Of course, if you still want to that's great, we are practicing the usual precautions: Social distancing, hand washing, cleaning your steering wheel and handles, and wiping down surfaces. All of us are in good health, our policy is that anyone feeling ill is staying home. We have our parts delivery folks dropping off away from the office, so there's very little in the way of people traffic coming through our shop. Thanks for your attention! Dave Vennel Chief Mechanic, Black Rock Auto.

Hello! Jon and I (Dave) spent our Saturday in a Mercedes Sprinter class, got lots of good updated information on them. The Sprinter also has a Dodge or Freightliner badge to it, but it really is a Mercedes. We both got a lot out of the class.

Look what has come into the shop, a 1949 Chevy StyleLine Special

We've had a lot of Sprinter Vans come in lately. I like 'em, big, roomy, efficient, we had one in which we solved an immobilizer problem, it was at a bay area dealer for 3 months, they couldnt fix it 'cause the part is back ordered. We found a solution outside of the dealer system!

Hi everyone, at AAPEX, the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo, the Your Car, Your Data, Your Choice initiative is open. The Idea is to allow a competent, high quality aftermarket shop access to the same data generated by your car as the manufacturers get from it.

Hi Everyone, today is the start of the AAPEX / SEMA Convention. I see manufacturers we use at the shop showcasing their products here. Examples are Idemitsu and ENEOS motor oils, the Best of the Best! We use those products in, for example, our customers Toyota Prius, Highlander, Camry, RAV-4, as well as Honda Accord, Odyssey, CR-V, Pilot, and others where a superb full synthetic oil is required. This also allows for a Longer Service Interval, which lowers overall maintenance costs.
