Collie Autoworks is a San Rafael-based, family-owned and operated shop that services and repairs Mercedes-Benz and BMW vehicles. The company’s services include routine maintenance, computer diagnostics, brake work, and major repairs such as transmission and engine replacements. Additionally, its factory- and dealership-trained mechanics use workshop manuals and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts to service customers’ vehicles.

Owner Darren Collie is a Master Certified Mercedes-Benz technician who spent seven years working for dealerships before establishing Collie Autoworks as an independent shop with his wife, Denise. Mr. Collie runs the company’s technical department and Mrs. Collie uses her years of advertising and marketing experience to manage the office.

Collie Autoworks’ state-of-the-art shop features a Mercedes-Benz XENTRY System, which is the factory-designated system for all Mercedes-Benz dealerships. The Collies say their company is known for being clean and professional and offering prompt, friendly service. They guarantee they’ll beat any advertised dealership price or written estimate for repairs or service.
