All Automotive
A small Mountain View shop where Tarek looks after Bay Area Miatas, from routine service to race prep and engine work for local time-trial cars.

All Automotive is mostly known for Audis, VWs and Porsches, but owner Tarek says the shop is also known for Miata work, and Bay Area Miata owners back that up. When people on Reddit ask where to take a Miata around San Francisco, his name comes up. "All Automotive in Mountain View. Tarek does great work," wrote u/cautionbbdriver.
Where this comes from
- Nextdoor business page: shop self-description "We also are know for Mazda Miata work"
- NorCal Miata Time Trial Challenge sponsors page: thanks to All Automotive
- r/Miata (Apr 5, 2022) recommendation: "All Automotive in Mountain View is great"
- r/AskSF (Jul 29, 2024) comment: "All Automotive in Mountain View. Tarek does great work."
From clutches to time-trial engines
JT has trusted Tarek with clutch and flywheel swaps on an NB, finished in record time (JT insists it's not the driving). "If it is anything Miata (from race prep, engine rebuilding, to basic maintenance), he's the guy you should talk to," wrote JT T.
The NorCal Miata Time Trial Challenge thanks All Automotive as a series sponsor and credits the shop with engine building and differential assembly for Miata track cars. That's a good sign your weekend car will be in familiar hands.
A note from Nigel
I've been a customer here for years. Tarek is the only mechanic I trust with my turbo Miata. He knows his way around performance and track cars like no one else, and he's just as good with everyday cars, like the Priuses I've brought him too.
Know before you go
This is a small shop, run by Tarek with help from Luis, so call ahead to get on the schedule.
