Mechanics Bank is owned and operated by the reputable Downer family. Around since 1905, this a true testament to Pinole's history. It holds a certificate of recognition from the California State Legislature for 2010 Business of the Year. A more visceral rendering of the company's achievements can be found in snapshots on the mural by the entrance. As far as service is concerned, Maribel Rosas, Customer Service Officer, confidently stated, "I don't think there's a better bank out there."
