San Francisco Auto Repair

Had my car serviced 2 times with The Garage and they have always been quick, friendly, thorough and fair. Definitely will be my go-to for as long as I live in San Francisco!

Best in class service, plus outstanding value for money and good vibes staff. Wish I'd started going there many years ago.

Great guys at the garage. Helped out with every question and problem with my 4runner. Kyle also forwarded me to another shop that can help with after market products 👍 Go niners!

The team here at The Garage are fantastic. They’re really nice and I trust them whole heartedly. Thank you for taking care of my car and my safety!

My family brings our cars to the Garage because they are honest and do excellent work. They never disappoint.

After hearing so many praises here on the Internet, I decided to try it out myself. I was slightly disappointed. The good things about them is they are VERY friendly and professional. However, when I made an appointment with them on the phone, they said that they could do a price estimate (itemize the parts and the labor cost, etc.) for me free of charge, and they will also do a complimentary inspection. However, when I got there, they told me that for "diagnostic" they will have to charge me for US$120, as it would take 1-2 hours to diagnose the problems, and without diagnostic, they can not come up with a price estimate. They did offer that they could do a free error code scanning for me, which I'm thankful (my car is a 1993 Mercedes, which does NOT have OBDII system, meaning more trouble for them). As I had to rush back to work, I decided to just let them do the error code scanning (to see if it matches with my friend's scanning), and NOT the $120 diagnostic. I'm glad that I decided to do that, as later when their mechanic did the code scanning, their diagnostic system had trouble to communicate with my car computer. The mechanic said that either there is something wrong with my my car computer, or it's a software problem with their diagnostic system. However, just few days ago my mechanic friend just did the code scanning for me and he was able to get the codes (so nothing was wrong with my car computer). Bottom line is, friendly and professional folks, but they might NOT have sufficient equipments for some specialty cars (like Mercedes made before 1995).

I normally don't write review on mechanic shops. To me, most mechanics are there to upsell on things that you don't need in your car. Until I went to The Garage. I towed my car down to The Garage because it was the closest thing off the freeway. I had a previous mechanic look at my car and was told that I need to replace the alternator and the starter. I was greed with a smile and asked what has happened before the car broke down. They didn't assume that they know what was wrong right away and listen to what I was saying. I even told them that my previous mechanic told me it was the alternator and the starter and how much he would charge me. The person in the front desk told me that they will do an inspection and see whats wrong before they do anything. I was not in the best mood. I reply back with just change the alternator and the starter and let me know how much would that be. I went across the street to get a cup of coffee. By the time I came back the guy at the front desk told me that I don't need to replace the alternator or the starter, but need to replace a battery. Which they had in stock. I agreed with replacing the battery and told them that I will be back if its not the battery. 3 months has gone by and everything has been working great. I brought my other car down to be serviced and very impressed by the service they provided me. I have recommended my co-workers, family, and friends to The Garage and they have said the same thing about this place.
