We live in Maine but spend over 3 months in Del Mar each year to be near our adult children. We have taken our daughter's car to North Coast in the past. It is very pleasant dealing with Sean. So far, North Coast seems to have diagnosed the problem of the front end of the 2005 Saab we were considering buying and then did purchase. It's running well. They are professional, honest, and we trust their opinion. We like them enough to now refer our son whose diesel truck is making noise!
