About Wayside Garage

Wayside Garage — Trusted by the Monterey Peninsula Since 1946

For more almost 80 years, Wayside Garage has been a cornerstone of the Seaside community. What began as a small family shop has grown into one of the most trusted independent repair facilities on the Central Coast. And through every decade, one thing has never changed: we put people first—our customers and our team.

We don’t just fix cars. We take care of the families who drive them.

Our ASE Master Certified Technicians and knowledgeable staff take the time to understand each vehicle and each customer’s needs. We believe in educating, communicating, and delivering high-quality service without pressure, gimmicks, or upsells. That commitment to integrity is why generations of customers keep coming back—and why they send their kids and grandkids to us. We’re not a “get in, get out” shop. We’re a “feel safe, informed, and cared for” shop.

If that sounds like your kind of work culture, you’ll fit in perfectly here.

Our Values - Wayside Garage is built on six core values—Family, Integrity, Hospitality, Initiative, Growth, and Professionalism. These guide every interaction with our customers, our team, and our community.

We proudly support local youth programs, community events, and organizations we believe in, including Pop Warner cheer, Carmel Academy of Performing Arts, Dance Kids of Monterey County, local Little Leagues, area car shows, and more.

We know our customers by name, and they know us by ours. We believe in doing things the right way—not the fast or cheap way.
