    About Wayside Garage :

    🚗 Wayside Garage - Trusted by the Monterey Peninsula Since 1946

    At Wayside Garage, we’ve been proudly serving Seaside and the surrounding community for over 78 years. What started as a family-run shop has grown into one of the most trusted independent repair facilities on the Central Coast. But no matter how much we grow, one thing stays the same :

  • we put people first—both 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 friendly staff take the time to understand each vehicle and every customer’s needs. We educate, communicate, and deliver high-quality service without the pressure or upsells. That’s why so many of our clients have been with us for decades—and why they keep sending their kids and grandkids our way.

    We're not a “get in, get out” kind of shop. We’re a “let’s make sure you feel safe, informed, and cared for” kind of shop. If that’s your kind of work culture, you’ll fit right in here.

    🤝 We’re More Than a Repair Shop

    Wayside Garage is built on honesty, integrity, and community. We support and sponsor local youth programs, volunteer our time to causes we care about, and treat our clients like family. You’ll find our name attached to organizations like :

  • Pop Warner Cheerleaders
  • Carmel Academy of Performing Arts
  • Dance Kids of Monterey County
  • Local Little Leagues, car shows, and more
  • Our customers know us by name, and we know theirs. We believe in doing things the right way—not the fast or cheap way.

    👨‍🔧 Why Work With Us?

    Working at Wayside Garage means you’re part of a team that believes in :

  • Clear expectations and a supportive environment
  • Ongoing training and paid certifications
  • Work / life balance—no weekends or holidays
  • Real growth opportunities as our shop continues to expand
  • Giving back to the community we’ve served for generations
  • Our facility is clean, modern, and well-equipped. And most importantly, you’ll never feel like “just a number.” Here, your ideas, your growth, and your well-being matter.

    🔍 Looking for Your Next Career Move?

    If you're passionate about cars, people, and personal growth—we'd love to meet you.

    Check out our open positions and see what it's like to be part of the Wayside Garage family.
