Reliable and honest are not words that normally go with car repair but it does in this case. Gary is the best. Truly, after substantial work on my truck, he went above and beyond making sure the price fit within my initial expectation. Finding a car shop worthy of bragging about is huge and after trying many, I can confidently say this is it - go no further. Knowledgeable would be almost good enough but honest, patient and full of integrity- - that’s extra. Good people who also have the skills - it’s a rare combo andone thats found at SF auto repair center. | |

Gary at SF Auto has a great team of mechanics and tells you what your car needs, no b.s., with quick, comprehensive, reasonably priced and friendly service. I especially appreciate how accommodating and flexible he is as far as vehicle drop-offs and pickups go. He took great care of another car I owned and I am fully confident that the work they do at SF Auto Repair will help maintain the mechanical integrity of my present vehicle. Thanks SF Auto Repair! | |

This is my preferred spot in SF. I don't know anything about cars and they explain things well, give me options for pricing, and make me feel respected. I appreciate feeling this way at an auto repair place! Feedback from Shop Owner: THANK YOU! | |

I've never had anything but positive experiences at SF Auto Repair. I know that I can trust them, that they will give me an honest assessment of the work that has to be done, and that their work is excellent. Besides that they are just plain nice. What more could anyone ask for? I recommend them highly. | |

I moved to the east bay 20 years, had been a customer before that when I lived in SF.
When I had an emergency (my radiator dumped coolant in the grocery store parking lot while shopping with my elderly friend), I called up SF Auto Repair, they had me tow the car in and made time for repairs. They couldn't get parts that late in the day, so they gave me a ride to BART and I came back for my car the next day. They also did a safety inspection, and found a couple of other problems, one of which I decided to fix, the other I will have repaired later since it is less urgent. Thanks folks! - Review by MechanicNet.com | |

I asked the shop to check out an odd clacking noise under the hood, while they had my car in for its routine service. The crew found that my oil was about two qts. down, and after checking everything out thoroughly, they realized that the noise was from what they called "lifter clatter" and took care of it. Problem solved! They were honest and straightforward, which I really appreciated. They could have BS'd me for additional money, but they didn't . Thank you, Gary, you guys are the best. - Review by DemandForce.com | |

When we do not rotate tires, it is because the best tires are already on the rear, which is where they need to be for safety reasons.

I've been with SF Auto for more than 20 years. I enjoyed good service from the previous owner, but Gary has really amped up the services. My car thrives because they remind me when it's time for routine maintenance. Every time it is in the shop, they check every little thing to make sure it is safe to drive and I have windshield cleanser, etc. I have a new model Subaru Crosstrek and they are right on top of any special needs it may have. Couldn't be happier. - Review by DemandForce.com | |

How was my experience at San Francisco Auto Repair? It was as always-----EXPENSIVEI'm more than satisfied with the work , after all I keep coming back. I keep forgetting to put Gary on the spot by asking about his boat payments. I would recommend the shop to more of my friends were it not for the fact that the majority of my friends are at least as poor as myself.p - Review by DemandForce.com | |

I have a 17 year old SAAB, officially an 'orphan' with the demise of SAAB. It is comforting to know that Gary and his crew know how to maintain and repair a car like mine. I had a time crunch when it had to be completed by and they met that easily. No last minute calls with added on must have repairs or other such nonsense. Good work performed on time at a fair price and at a certified Green establishment. Works for me! - Review by DemandForce.com | |

Thank you for the compliment about our service. We try to be price competitive, but higher quality parts cost more, also we provide what we feel is the BEST warranty in the SF Bay area, 3 years 36,000 miles on all repairs. | |

this shop have to improve more i went for inspection of my car and they told me I have to change my break pads and it will cost me 300 dollars and then I went for 2 difference opinions and they told me that my break pads were fine and i have 50% percent left. - Review by DemandForce.com Feedback from Shop Owner:
We showed you the cracks in your brake pads. Cracked brake pads are a safety hazard. The other shops did not remove the pads to inspect them. We can show you again if you would like. Call us to schedule a time to bring the car in so you can be here while we remove the brake pads to show them to you | |

I have a "classic" well worn 1982 Volkswagen Westfalia that I have taken to SF Auto Repair for everything from simple oil changes to complete brake system work. I would be first to say they're probably a bit more expensive than some other shops. But as the old saying goes; "You Get What You Pay For" These guys are worth every cent! I never felt I was being over charged. I was always given detailed information about the work being done and my options. All work was completed in a timely manner and detailed invoices were given. There was only 1 time I had to return my vehicle and the mistake was corrected promptly. - Review by DemandForce.com | |

Bad customer service. the guy at the front desk takes a long time to attend you and, don't say much if your just standing their he just ignores you. This place is only by appointment so, if you have an emergency I don't recommend this place the wait is long. They did a good job on my car but , it's pretty pricey $$$$. - Review by DemandForce.com Feedback from Shop Owner:
I am sorry you feel that way, I try to provide excellent customer service to everyone, sometimes while involved with someone who was there first I cannot stop and take care of you immediately. I wish you had not left an anonymous review as I would like to talk in person and find out what we could do better. Did you have an emergency? You said we did a good job, thank you for that. | |

I made an appointment ahead of time only to be told upon arrival the person doing the work wouldn't arrive until later that morning. I don't appreciate that, what's the point of an appointment then. After 5 hours on what was supposed to be a 40 minute task, I was "offered" other services. Also not appreciated. - Review by DemandForce.com Feedback from Shop Owner:
Rhiannon,
I am sorry about any miscommunication between you and our shop manager. Our records show that you arrived at about 8:50a.m. for a 9:00 am smog appointment. We told you the tech would be in in about half an hour and it would take some time to set up and perform the smog test & courtesy check. We finished the smog test at 9:38 a.m., we called you before 10:00 a.m. and left a message, The Visa receipt shows that you paid us and picked up your car at 10:47 am! Nowhere near FIVE hours! As to the other work we recommended for your car? We are in business to service your vehicle. That?s how we make our living. No apologies for trying to sell you something you need. We experienced slow cranking and tested your battery as part of our free courtesy check, I told you and SHOWED you the printout of the test results and explained that your battery failed a load test. We feel that our customers have a right to know what's wrong (if anything) with their vehicles so they can make informed decisions on their maintenance. After that it is your choice on what you want to do with your vehicle. Would you rather experience a problem and wonder why the shop didn?t find it or tell you about it?
As to your review? You scored us a THREE on quality of work performed? We performed a smog check. Your vehicle passed, the results were transmitted to DMV. What could we have done differently?
Five hours? We have documented proof that you were out of the shop no later than 10:47 a.m.! I think you are being unfair. We take customer service seriously. Please contact me directly to let me know what we can do better. | |

Hello, I came in last Friday for a tire repair. Since I work less than a block away I was relieved to find a place that could fix my tire without having to wait around on a busy work day. Your staff is friendly and I was able to get what I needed done. However as I picked up my car in the dark rain, I failed to notice that the hood of my car was open until I was already driving down the freeway and saw the hood flapping up and down but still held down by the latch. I'm not sure why the hood needed to be open to fix a flat tire but I was a bit worried. I hope you check this in the future. It would have also been nice if my wheel lock was placed back in the bag, rather than rattling in my door storage bin. - Review by DemandForce.com | |

It's been really really difficult to find ANY shop that will work on air-cooled Volkswagens. SF Auto Repair Center won't do everything but they do seem to know their way around my 1982 Westfalia. I initially took my van in for oil changes and recently had them check out a problem with my brakes. I admit it's been a while since I've turned any of my vehicles over to a shop (I usually do my own work, just don't have the space anymore) so ANY shop would probably seem pricey to me. But after reviewing the repair order and seeing what had to be done to fix my brakes, it seemed a reasonable price to pay (I should probably go back to fixing cars!) The mechanic even stayed late to finish my van, a big thank you! - Review by DemandForce.com | |

I have been been taking my old VWs to SF Auto Repair Center for a couple of decades. In my experience they do good-to-great work at a reasonable rate. I have shown up on their doorstep for everything -- routine maintenance, smog tests and repairs, an engine rebuild or two, mysterious ailments (such as random electrical system failures that would mysteriously fix themselves and hide from easy detection). To borrow an old aphorism, the routine stuff they fix right away; the mysterious stuff takes a little longer...but they're persistent. (I don't want to define SF Auto as an old VW haven - I've put them through so much already! They no longer have a bona fide retired VW mechanic hanging out under the shade tree like when I first started coming, so solving really odd "old car" problems takes a little trial and error, but they figure it out). They have a good way with old cars (and, though I wouldn't know, new cars too). Real folks, real atmosphere, real grease, worth crossing town to visit. - Review by DemandForce.com | |
