Finding a good mechanic in SF can be hit-and-miss. After a couple years of being bent over the barrel at the dealership, I heard about The Garage from my friend Jason, who swore to me they were the best (and among the few top rated mechanics on Yelp). So I tried them out for a tune-up (and to make that pesky check engine light go away). They were thorough, fast, friendly and affordable. They checked in with me during the day to keep me apprised of the status, and didn't pressure me to fix some of the things I already knew needed work (brake pads, threadbare tires). But, after getting the bill, I couldn't believe how much cheaper they were than the dealer, so I actually saved enough $$ to have them replace the brakes. Anyway, long story short, I was surprised and delighted by the service and quality. And, to reward my friend who referred me, they even agreed to fix a minor problem he had with his Honda Civic at no charge. Amazing...
