One lift, one technician, one car at a time

Cliffside Motorworks sits a few blocks up from the harbor on Cañon Street. Reza runs it as a two-lift shop on purpose: fewer cars in the building means the person who diagnosed your car is the one who finishes it, and nothing gets handed off half-understood at five o'clock. We keep the specialty tools for the marques we work on, we photograph what we find, and we road-test every car before it goes back on the street. If a job is outside what we do well, we will say so and tell you who does it.

• Estimate in writing, approved before we start
• Photographs of the fault sent to your phone
• Every car road-tested before you collect it
• Fluids and torque to the factory figures
