Artec Automotive

I requested window tinting for my car. They recommended the best material, and the work was done quickly and professionally. I am very satisfied with the result. The customer service was also excellent. Highly recommended.

I needed to get my knock sensor replaced. I used Yelp to get a quote around my area because I didn't have time to call or drive around. Artec was the only shop that gave me an actual quote using my VIN. The other shops kept urging me either pay for a diagnostic to confirm the issue prior to completing what needed to be done. I read through their reviews and saw how others trusted them, so I called them to set an appointment. They told me it would only take a few hours to get fixed. I dropped my car off at 10am and it was ready within 2.5 hours. The amount they quoted through Yelp was the exact amount they charged. No hidden fees. They also had Apple Pay, so it was a quick transaction when I picked my car up. I will definitely come back because they were efficient and have a fair price for the service.

I recently brought my high-end Italian race bike to Artec for touchup and detailed paint polish work on the frame. Ernest was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. His work is excellent and he accomplished exactly what I asked for. Not only did Ernest complete the work while I waited, but he was very thoughtful and consultative throughout the process. I give Artec an A+, and I highly recommend Artec for your next detailed paint project. Thanks again, Ernest!

I had a very positive experience with these guys. They are very knowledgeable about BMW and also friendly and down to earth. I used to do car work all by myself so I could tell. No nonsense. They love what they do. The price is very reasonable considering the quality of the work and their attention to detail. Highly recommend you give them a call.

Great Service and friendly guys! I called them asking if they could take a look at my 1995 M3 project I've been working on because the alignment felt off after having it done and 2 different shops and all the parts on the car are new. They test drove it to get an idea of how it felt before the alignment (something 9/10 shops don't ever consider) and once the car was on the rack they spotted a few issues that require attention to make the car feel perfect. Post alignment the car feels infinitely better to drive and isn't unstable at highway speeds anymore! These guys know their alignments! They also got me in right before Memorial Day weekend started which I greatly appreciated. Thanks Artec!

With the weather really heating up, I finally decided that the factory window tints on my 6 month old ultra red 2023 Tesla Model X wasn't enough so I researched yelp for a solid detailing shop and found Artec. Very nice family run local business in San Carlos. Very convenient location. They have a great deal of experience with Teslas and were very responsive to my questions and gave me a very reasonable quote. I went with their recommendations on the level of tinting and of course I chose ceramic to help with blocking IR that I don't think factory tints do as well. At least I wanted to make sure everything was optimal in preventing too much heat from damaging the interior and to keep the overall temps down from the windows. My Model X was already PPFd by a shop in San Jose but I really liked the newer graphene coating tech and so had Artec coat everything. Again very reasonable and competitive pricing. I have no regrets. The detailing work was outstanding and the car looks brand new again and dirt doesn't seem to stick! I really appreciated their expertise. Ernest spent time with me to go over how they detail their cars and recommended cleaners if I wanted to clean the exterior myself and that was so helpful. They are friendly and efficient and they returned my vehicle at the promised time even though they had to take extra time and energy the night before to get the job nicely done. I am impressed with their invoicing service by email and paying them is a breeze with Apple Pay. Believe me, they will take great care of your vehicle! The window tinting made a huge difference in the decreasing the radiant heat transferred in through the glass. Highly recommended! I've always hand washed my own cars but I will be going to them for their detailing from now on.

Good communication over yelp and on the phone. Shop is clean with some pristine show-quality older BMWs inside, at the end of a line of shops where you can see work going on all kinds of cool classic and modern cars. You can tell from the cars coming in that these guys are enthusiasts. The team was friendly, the work was fast, and reasonably priced for the quality of service.

This shop is very honest and the most skilled mechanics in the area from real old cars to modified street vehicles. This was the only shop that could fix my wife's van and he found the other shops misdiagnosed and found problems in 45 minutes. Was fixed all problems cheaper than anywhere and done great . Van has never ran better and now we have a shop for my wife to go and have work done right the first time . God bless these people at Artec vintage automotive

I recommend this shop for any of your car needs. Extremely professional and kind employees and their quality of work is excellent. I got my BMW M5 wrapped here in matte perfect black vinyl wrap and it came out absolutely amazing. The attention to detail quality of craftsmanship is out of this world. They also use the best brands in the industry. Quality work and exceptional service. I definitely recommend them for alllll your car services. Eddy was extremely helpful and made this process a breeze. Thank you all.

My regular car service place had recommended an AC belt replacement for my ancient 2005 Subaru Foreste among other things but were un-contactable afterward so I found these folks online.

If you're reading this review - I recommend requesting a quote from Artec Automotive (and others you maybe browsing) right off yelp. They are super responsive, all-digital and reasonably priced compared to the other autoshops around. Saves you time, phone calls etc. They take your VIN# order the exact part and things are ready when you arrive. I took the trouble to post their invoice, their estimate is just as detailed and arrives to your email/phone in advance - impressive.

They replaced the AC drive belt in 30mins. It's a small place limited parking so they get your vehicle done promptly which is really nice. There is a seating area to wait.
