Max Motors, which operates out of a good-sized shop on American Street, has been in business in San Carlos for 27 years. The shop does everything related to vehicle repair, and offers "complete auto service" on VW, Audi, Saab, Subaru, BMW, Mercedes, Acura, Honda, Nissan and Toyota vehicles. It is also a certified smog inspection auto body shop. The staff members are very knowledgeable and will helpfully explain the details of customers' auto problems. Max Motors also has a cute greeter by the door every day — Ruvi, the residential dog.
