Our Story
Founded in 1992, Marin Auto Works has been a cornerstone of automotive care in the heart of Marin County, built on a foundation of trust, quality, and integrity. For over three decades, our loyal customers have relied on us for expert vehicle maintenance, repairs, and exceptional service. What began as a small, family-run shop has grown into a beloved institution—one that has earned the respect and trust of the community through unwavering commitment to excellence.
Under the ownership of the Etcheverry family, Marin Auto Works quickly established a reputation for providing not only high-quality auto repair but also a personal touch that made every customer feel like family. From the beginning, the Etcheverry family’s values were clear: deliver honest service, maintain transparency with every customer, and treat each vehicle as if it were our own. This dedication to excellence became the heart of our business, and it was passed down through the generations, creating long-lasting relationships with customers that spanned years and even decades.
As time passed, Marin Auto Works became known not only for its outstanding technical capabilities but also for its genuine care and respect for the people who entrusted us with their vehicles. Whether you were coming in for routine maintenance or a more complex repair, our goal was always the same: to provide reliable, honest service that you could depend on.
In August 2025, after many years of hard work and dedication, Marcel Etcheverry, the son of the original founders, made the decision to retire. After much thought and reflection, Marcel passed the torch to me, one of his most trusted and experienced technicians. Having worked alongside Marcel, I’ve always admired his unwavering commitment to quality service and customer care. Now, I am deeply honored to carry that legacy forward.
As the new owner of Marin Auto Works, I remain steadfast in my commitment to upholding the values that have made this business a trusted name in the community. My goal is simple: to continue providing the same exceptional service that customers have come to know and love, while embracing new technologies and innovations in automotive care to ensure your vehicle remains in top condition for years to come.
At Marin Auto Works, we believe in the power of relationships. We’re not just fixing cars—we’re building trust, ensuring your safety, and offering peace of mind. From our family to yours, we look forward to continuing the tradition of excellence that has defined our business since 1992.
Thank you for being a part of our story. We are excited to serve you for many years to come.

Sincerely,
The Aguirre Family
