San Francisco Auto Repair

My long-time mechanic retired, so I hopefully tried The Garage when the brake wear sensor came on in my 2916 Mini Cooper. Figured the pads were shot at 65K and expecting a $1500+ bill if new rotors were needed also, but no: the competent and honest mechanics at The Garage found a faulty brake sensor which they quickly replaced. That repair and a full 10K service with all filters replaced cost less at The Garage than the oil change at my last mechanic. Work was all professionally done, and on time. Great work, great value-- a rare feeling. UPDATE: One year later, in for regular maintenance on the Mini. The work--including full systems check, oil change, and brake fluid replacement--was done impeccably, the car was ready when promised that same day, and the total bill was less than I expected. Good work at a great price.

These guys are straight up legit. They partner with you to get the most out of your car and don't try to sell you anything that you don't need. That is why I don't even think twice when needing service for my 2011 Honda Odyssey. I used to get ripped off by the dealership until it finally dawned on me that things were fishy and expensive. Go ahead, shop around- you won't find a better value or better people. They got their customer service and pricing figured out perfectly. Big fan and major respect for Danny Chan and the whole GarageSF team.

Staff was attentive, respectful and knowledgable. It was a pleasure to work with them.

First time diagnostic inspection of my 1989 Mazda subcompact 4 speed stick that tackles local San Francisco up and down hills like no big deal. The front desk was friendly, respectful, focused, courteous, credible, heard what I wanted, fixed nothing without asking, no nonsense,, reasonable, knowledgeable, and gave me thé usual lucky advice: come back in a year. A quality honest shop.

I think Danny and his crew were thorough yet conservative in handling the 60,000 mile tune up.. However, my brake light sensor indicated that further investigation is necessary. Danny suggested I bring the car back the following Monday to follow up.I was pleased with this service and staff.

I have to send the whole team a big thank you. Everyone was beyond professional but more importantly, exceptionally communicative and refreshingly honest. My 2018 Volvo XC60 was up for regularly scheduled maintenance and after sourcing a handful of absurdly high quotes, I was lucky enough to come across The Garage. They understood my concerns of being surprised by an astronomical bill and talked me through every step of the way. They addressed the immediate necessary needs - oil change, tire rotation, etc. During their overall assessment, they uncovered an issue with my rear wiper and a full computer diagnostic was recommended. They reached out to get confirmation if I wanted to proceed and I approved. Upon an inconclusive testing result, they refused to charge me. We talked through what they would have to do to identify the problem in the future and they did not pressure me at all to pursue in the immediate. It's beyond refreshing and comforting to find a place that have the customers best interests at heart. You don't find very many places like that these days. Thanks team!

Needed a trailer hitch installed on my Honda CR-V. I was able to set up an appointment time through their website with no problem. I was aware that on my vehicle some amount of fascia would have to be altered for it to fit correctly. I made the appointment with this in mind. When I dropped off my vehicle I mentioned this to the staff and before they started the work, they reached out to me to doubly check that I was okay with it. I told them I was and the work commenced. When I went to go pick up my vehicle, I had an image of a horror slash job done to my vehicle. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that they had to barely cut anything and it was only visible if you crawl under the vehicle. The price of the job even came in under what they had quoted me by phone. I am very satisfied with the job they did.
