I was referred to this mechanic an a friend. They were able to diagnose a problem that no one else could and fixed it quickly and affordably.
They are honest and pleasant to work with. Great shop!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - G K.San Jose, CA1390231Jul 23, 2010
Took my car there after a friend's recommendation. The garage is located in a remote part of Camden. It's hidden so drive slow and I suggest the use of Nav or Google map before venturing to find the place.
The owner and head mechanic Stewart is friendly and polite; kind of rough around the edges, just typical shop talk. I like him and I think he is honest which is hard to find now a days. My car needed a new fuel pump. We got a quote from the dealer and the cost was @#%!. Took it to Stewart and he was up front with me and said he doesn't recommend after market parts because of the complexity of the car and the part should come from Nissan, but he said it'll take 2-3 hours tops for him to do the job. So we agreed. In the end, the cost was 1/2 what was quoted by the dealers.
Stewart didn't have flash, doesn't have a spotless shop, but he didn't try to sell me something I didn't need and he was up front about what everything will cost. That means more to me than any superficial fluff.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Melanie C.Seattle, WA16128961Oct 17, 2013
Stuart is Teh Awesome.
He has saved me over $1500 over the short time I've known him (just over a year now?).
He definitely knows his stuff, and pays close attention to detail. Partner brought his car for an engine noise and on a very short test drive, Stuart identified (and fixed) the source of the noise, and also pointed out the brakes needed service. I've had my car in for a variety of little things over the year, and while in for one thing, he also addressed some sagging door seal and replaced my missing hubcap!
He's practical and won't recommend repairs you don't need, will help figure out work-arounds if money is tight. He doesn't pretend to know EVERYthing, and doesn't treat me like I know nothing (which, sadly, can often happen to women visiting a mechanic). Over the year he's spent a fairly big chunk of time with my car for diagnoses, which, very gratefully, he hasn't charged me for. When he does charge, his rates are extremely reasonable.
The others at the garage, Lori and William and Sadie, are always very friendly. Everyone Harmon's makes my car's many issues as painless as car repairs can go, and that's worth a lot. Quality service and care at Harmon's. Thank you Stuart!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chris B.Denver, CO44333Apr 25, 2010First to Review
Stewart is a great mechanic with fair prices. Found me a great deal on a part after I said that the part he was originally going to order was too expensive.
He will work on anything. He has some kit cars in the lot, he worked on my VW and I saw a BMW on the rack.
If you live on Union, Bascom or anywhere near the Pruneyard this place is really convenient and cheap.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Floyd K.Fremont, CA411Jun 3, 2017
Harmon's is the best place I have been for a car repair. This is an old school garage, I mean like my grandfather and uncle had back in the day. Simply good service and good costs for the repair. For me, why go anywhere else? I recommend this shop to anyone looking for a car repair for a great price and the job done right!

This is an awesome, family owned business run by Stuart and his wife Lori. They are so wonderful to work with. Super honest, super down to Earth. I really liked that Stuart answered all my questions, and I asked a lot of questions. He didn't hesitate to say "show me" and jump right into getting hands on into diagnosing the possible causes of my problems. On my latest repair shop visit, I had a huge list of maintenance needs and a few fix it needs and Stuart was able to get it all taken care of. The best part is I still have money left to pay the PMI on my mortgage. Ha!! Thanks guys for treating me and my car so good. I'd tell anyone who needs a knowledge-able, honest, and fair priced mechanic to go see the Kern Family at Harmon Garage.

I've been taking my car here for a couple years now (he was recommended by another friend) and wouldn't go anywhere else. They treat you like family. ;) Stuart is very fair in his pricing and the work is always quality. Highly recommend.

I have been a customer at Harmon's as long as I have been driving (about 20 years) as my parents were long time customers. Stuart is hard working and is able to problem solve strange noises & difficult to find vehicle problems. Lori is is very nice and returns calls promptly. The prices are extremely fair and the work is always high quality. I highly recommend Harman's Garage for all of your car needs.

I have been taking my car to Midas for the last couple of years. Had my brake pads replaced after which my car began squealing every time I pressed on the brakes. Terrible! I went back and back and back and they could never correct it. I took it to Harmon Garage and they did a fantastic job. No more squealing! Very friendly and fair, too.

After my car accident my car spent a month in a repair shop, They couldn't fix it. Even Captiol Volkswagon couldn't find the problem. I then took my car to Stewart and he found the trouble IMMEDIATELY and fixed it. HE'S EXCELLENT, FAIR PRICES. Stewart, his wife Lori and their son are wonderful!!!
