I’ve been all over the US with my Land Rover and this is hands down the best mechanic I’ve ever worked with. My LR misses this place dearly when not on the west coast.

I can't say enough good things about 11th Street Auto Repair! I brought in my car for some routine work including a brake light that was out. But I also had another issue that recently came up.  The owner personally took the time to diagnose the issue—I had just began to explain the problem and he instantly knew exactly what the issue was and was able to easily confirm diagnosis and fix it!  Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but he also explained everything in a way that made sense and taught me more about my car and how to better maintain it. He was honest, upfront about costs, and genuinely cared about getting my car back on the road safely.  Within a short time, they had my car running like new again. The service was fast, professional, and well-priced. I won’t be taking my car anywhere else from now on. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic who knows their stuff, 11th Street Auto Repair is the place to go! Highly recommend!

Knowledge and expertise, especially on Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles, is what shines at 11th Street Auto.  Jack (owner) is super honest and fair.  Can't recommend this shop enough if you are in search of an honest and capable repair shop.   Lifetime customer here!

These guys are amazing. we've been coming here for 10 years. They are honest skilled top-notch mechanics. You will never feel like you're being ripped of and  you always get the best service. Our 2007 range rover sport runs like it's brand new thanks to these guys.

I have been bringing my Land Rover Discovery to Jack for the past 15 years, and I can honestly say he is the only person I trust with my vehicle. Jack is an absolute expert when it comes to Land Rovers, and his knowledge and skills are unmatched.  Not only is he exceptional with the technical aspects of the job, but he also treats his customers with the highest level of professionalism and care. Jack is always honest, straightforward, and takes the time to explain what needs to be done. His efficiency and commitment to getting the job done right, without unnecessary delays, have made him my go-to mechanic for over a decade.  If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about your vehicle, Jack is the best there is.

Patrick and his team and SF Auto Solutions are awesome! They always take great care of my 4Runner, ensuring whatever they do is done right. They use  all OEM parts and generally give me the confidence that I can get another 100K miles out of my car. Whether it be troubleshooting a check engine light or a routine oil change, SF Auto Solutions has never let me down!

I brought my Porsche Boxster to San Francisco Automotive Solutions after it had been sitting unused for a few years, and I'm incredibly glad I chose them. Scheduling was effortless, and Patrick was particularly accommodating—he happily communicated via text message, which was perfect for someone like me who prefers to avoid phone calls.  When I arrived to pick up my car following the service, Patrick's honesty immediately stood out. He told me, "I wish I could have charged you more, but all you needed was some power steering fluid." His integrity and straightforward approach have earned my trust. Because of this experience, I'll absolutely be returning here for any future maintenance or more significant repairs.  Highly recommended for honesty and clear, easy communication!

Patrick couldn’t have been nicer and more efficient. He took a look at my car, quickly assessed that a brake light was out, and had his mechanic attend to it right away. All at no cost, almost unheard of in modern times. I will definitely be coming back for any additional car service needs! Great people and great shop.

They're fantastic! On last Friday I discovered I had a dead battery—and had to move my vehicle because of construction. I was referred to them by my regular garage and the fit me in before the weekend for a deep charge of my battery. It really helped me out of a bind especially with SF parking. Icing on the cake, they didn't charge me anything! I can't recommend them enough!

I truly trust San Francisco Automotive Solutions with servicing my car. They're quick, the prices are very reasonable, and Patrick is friendly and attentive. It's one of few places where I trust that I'm not being over charged or sold on things that my car doesn't actually need. I would highly recommend!

Gary is fair, honest and very competent. I've been coming here for years and it's the only mechanic that I trust to be on my side.

The best mechanic I have encountered. Very honest and professional, Gary has been helping me with my car for the past 6 years, and I have recommended him to all my friends.

I was referred to Emerald by a family friend to have work done to my 2013 Honda Civic that was "recommended" by Honda. I initially went in for a second opinion and he did recommend the changes such as serpentine belt, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant replacement.  I brought my own transmission fluid and serpentine belt and was expecting the same price as the Honda dealerships, but it turned out to be $300. Gary was kind enough to replace the serpentine belt for free!!! I can't recommend Emerald enough.

Pulled up at 8:45am to get my side mirror checked out from a hit and run incident yesterday. I saw some minor cracks and wasn’t sure if something could be broken mechanically so figured I should get some quotes at a couple spots. The owner of the shop took a look at my side mirror, asked if I still had the shell, and popped it right back on while telling me “it’s not worth buying a new part,” given that my car is new and the part was going to be $$$. He also double checked that my mirror controls were still functioning, and sent me on my way. Just to sanity check, I also got a quote from the Toyota dealership after for $1379. Grateful for the mechanic’s honest review and service to save me a ton!! I wasn’t able to put on the shell myself because I thought I might crack it more, but I was out in less than 5 minutes and he didn’t take any payment 😅 Thank you so much Emerald Auto! You made my day

I cannot say enough good things about Gary and his team at Emerald Auto. I brought my car here after another shop over charged me and failed to figure out what was wrong with my engine. Gary was able to trouble shoot and figure out the problem. He repaired my car quickly and at a very reasonable price. They also did a great job on my brakes. If you are looking for an honest, reliable mechanic, this is the place to go. Thank you again, Gary!

Oscar, their lead mechanic, helped us with our MINI Cooper brake, calpers, and rotor repair. We needed a full replacement and came to Schwerin because we thought our first quote was really expensive.  Schwerin came in less expensive than another automotive shop and they worked quickly and diligently to repair our vehicle. They let us store our car over the weekend and over night and were very flexible + communicative with timing.  We were extremely happy with the results and recommend them highly, we'll come back again for sure!

Oscar, their lead mechanic, is probably one of the most honest mechanics I’ve met.  He understands that we are all relying on our cars to get to work, school, and play.  He has the highest integrity and coupled with the skills needed to do a great job.  Happy to recommend this business.  Who says SF and their city center doesn’t have a heart??  Oscar rescues…

Great place. Oscar gave a reasonable estimate on the phone. And then did the work after we took the car in. Very honest and straightforward. Replaced an oil pan damaged by road debris. Recommended.

If you are looking for a dependable, fair priced and a trustworthy mechanic, look no further.  I have been going to Oscar for over a decade and he has always made sure my car continues to be safe and reliable.  I have had nothing but positive experiences every time I've brought my car in.

I would like to share my experience with Oscar I had an issue with my old cop car, check engine light turned on, they fix the problem. In a reasonable period of time. very friendly staff.

Great. Vibes were honest and they were very efficient. $250 labor to replace my bearing hub (below estimate) and now my RAV is humming again 🧘‍♂️

I normally hate taking my car into a mechanic because I feel like I am getting fleeced. My friend said Don is honest and runs his business with integrity, and that 100% proved true.  I went in expecting to need brake pads replaced on both axles after an oil change assessment, but Don gave me a call and said the back ones were in great shape and did not need to be replaced. Final price also perfectly matched the original quote.  Best auto service experience I have ever had.

Don’s auto service helped me get my car back on the road after thieves attempted to steal it and broke the ignition. Their expert work was completed within 2 hours and was economical and in the neighborhood. Grateful to them and recommend their services.

Just discovered this neighborhood gem! Went for a routine maintenance check.  Carol was immediately responsive, very friendly, and fully transparent about pricing and estimated timing. They happen to have immediate availability, and it was a quick drop off (

We have been going to Don’s for years and continue to be so impressed with their customer service and work. They do a phenomenal job, and are so trustworthy. If they can’t do something, they recommend a solution or person to fix. I trust them fully with my car. Can’t recommend them enough!

Just got a 5k service for oil & fluids and a brake rotor replacement. Robert and his crew delivered perfectly. Very clear about the work and costs upfront and they performed it all very quickly. Easily one of the easiest mechanics to work with I've ever had. THANK YOU!

I have been bringing my car to Autocare for years, by far the best I have ever had. Honest, fast and with outstanding communication. Would recommend AAC and Robert to anyone without reservation. I moved away from SF and still bring my car to AAC every time.

Robert is awesome... Super nice and honest. Had taken our VW to the dealer for a recall job and was told we needed to also get our brakes done. Luckily, we asked Robert who told us our brakes were still at over 40% and wouldn't need to be replaced for another 20-30k miles at least. He'll monitor it at the next oil change. How cool is that? We've been taking all our cars to him ever since and he has taken very good care of maintaining them.

I recently visited for the first time, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received. Initially, I went to the dealership, where they claimed my car needed a significant amount of work. Feeling a bit uneasy, I decided to get a second opinion and brought my car in.  Robert, one of the mechanics, took a thorough look at my car and quickly debunked the dealership's inspection. He explained everything clearly and ensured that only the necessary work was done, saving me time and money. The customer service here is exceptional, and they truly went above and beyond to exceed all of my expectations. I'll definitely be returning for any future car maintenance needs!

Got recommended here for Raymond to service my car. He’s very professional and understanding also will let you exactly know if something is good or needs to be repaired. Definitely will not rip you off like others, one shop told me that I need my rear brakes replaced. That’s when Raymond said that’s not true but instead informed me that my front brakes needed to be changed. I made an appointment with him and was scheduled a week later. He knows what he’s doing and did my brakes within 30 minutes. I will definitely be back and trust him with my vehicle

Amazing service professional customer service, quick reliable and very economical 2025/3

I got into an accident that I wasn’t at fault. I chose this body shop since a friend referred it to me and said that his experience with him was amazing. And I wanna say that my experience was just like my friend’s. They were very professional. Excellent customer service. The accident happened during the holiday season but I still got an appointment and he squeezed me in . I got my car fixed and cleaned as well. I definitely recommend this body shop. I didn’t feel like I was worried leaving my car their thinking that they might steal sth. They are very trustworthy and professional and great. I can’t recommend more. Thank you sooooo much

Clean and work by Ahmad and his dad, I also go there for my car needs and they always fix it on the spot with no up charge. Very easy and painless process.

Very good service, did the oil change and tire rotation. Fast and quality service Friendly atmosphere

I came for an oil change and got so much more. They rotated my tires, did the diagnostics on my brakes, checked all the necessary things. Service is extraordinary! Staff is super friendly. I was literally offered a coffee like 4-5 times and even got a snack. The best thing is PRICE!!! Very affordable. Talk with them for a while and you’ll get that special discount 😅 I strongly recommend this place for everyone!

Excellent, honest, and transparent service. I’ve been taking my car here for almost ten years at this point and now my whole family goes here.  It’s hard to find a good mechanic  and shop you can trust and this is it! Thank you Kiril and team

Kiril and his mechanics are a blessing to have in this city. They are my go-to on any car matter and have always resolved my issues with quality and affordability. Couldn't recommend them more.

Has fixed my Prius multiple times. Replaced a stolen catalytic converter and put in a shield.  Fixed a Mazda 3 I brought in over five times. Extremely trustworthy and fast service.

Took my Porsche here after reading the excellent reviews. The techs wasted no time, working with Kirill to figure out the issue (bad motor/transmission mounts + new exhaust installation), replaced the mounting parts in 1/3 of the time other actual Porsche shops quoted me at and fixed my issue within 3 hours. Charged me exactly the amount that I was quoted (or maybe less), and was flexible with discussing the problem and potential solutions. Definitely will make more stops here if anything acts up.

After experiencing a dealership trying to up sale for services not needed at 10,000 miles on odometer for tires & brake works, I had to search for a new mechanic to rely on all the needs my car would require.  By word of mouth recommendation, I chose KSH for overall inspection that includes tires and brakes, and a regular maintenance work. The service I received was top of the line, above and beyond my expectations. It was performed with top-notch professionalism, courtesy, thoroughness, and ultimate care with promptness. This was quality of service rarely found elsewhere, but has been existed in the heart of San Francisco! If you live in the Bay Area, I would strongly recommend to contact Kirill for any service your vehicle might need.

Lincoln is a top notch honest mechanic and they are definitely cheaper than any dealers would charge you.

I just met Lincoln after bringing in my Audi Q3 for a TSB. Booked an appointment online, Lincoln called to follow up before bringing in my car. Easy in, easy out. Lincoln is a really nice guy, straight shooter, and I'll be back for all my auto needs in the future.

OVERPRICED AND ULTIMATELY INEFFECTIVE  My recent experience with California Auto Repair Services has been nothing short of an infuriating blend of incompetence and audacity. One would assume that a $500 repair bill would, at the very least, come with a resolution or a proper repair. I GOT NEITHER.  I expected a professional diagnosis and an effective repair (I paid $500!). Instead, I received vague assurances and an invoice that seemed more like a ransom demand than a reflection of services rendered. The initial problems that I needed fixed were left unchanged, making me seriously question the skill and the integrity of this business.  The complete lack of communication throughout the process was my first red flag. Any questions I asked were met with a condescending demeanor and dismissiveness - a TOTAL contrast to the professionalism one would expect from a supposedly reputable service provider.  What completely shook me was the nonchalant attitude they had when I expressed my dissatisfaction. Rather than addressing the failure to fix my original issue, they were more interested in defending their incompetence and suggested another diagnostic - a desperate money grab without any guarantee of results.  AVOID THESE PEOPLE AT ALL COSTS and find a different trustworthy establishment, unless you want to find yourself in a similar position to mine.

A check engine lamp appeared on my dashboard, on my first day in San Francisco after a long cross country drive and I drove my Honda Odyssey to the nearest mechanic. I was so lucky that it was California Auto Repair. Lincoln is a very kind person and his optimistic attitude helped calm my nerves. He helped to diagnose the problem with my transmission and also alerted me to a problem with my rear brakes. I think his pricing is  honest and fair and his shop is very efficient. I am happy to have a trustworthy mechanic in the city.

Lincoln quoted my daughter $90 to do a thorough check of her car before she was going on a long road trip. He was very nice on the phone and super nice when my daughter brought her car in. He checked it all out and only charged the $90. He didn’t try to upsell her on anything and explained things clearly. She did need the under carriage of the car re-fastened and he ordered the part and charged a fair price to do that work. We will bring our car back there for sure! Thanks Lincoln!

The overall experience is excellent. They completely rebuilt my automobile. My car was ruined, with wires shooting out all over the place and being undriveable, but these guys worked their magic. It drives very smoothly and quietly. Very kind staff at the front desk and on the phone. If you're having your automobile repaired here, rest assured that it's in capable hands. Thank you.

Boss and his staff are skilled professionals.  One call, brought the car in right away and viola—- they repaired it within a few hours.  The price was appropriate for the rapid excellent work. This is the best place for auto work!  Try them!

When I called the operator quoted me a price for repair THANK GOODNESS I checked my email and saw it was a $154 charge for simply diagnosting what I told them was wrong with the car. I ensured the charge was for REPAIR AND PARTS the operator told me yes and the work would be warranteed. How do you warranty a diagnostic? I cancelled my appointment in the alloted time through email voice message and through the repairmen himself well the repairman still showed up and tried to charge me. I froze my account well before this occured. This is a scam. Once you get an appointment every operator is busy forever. Dont get scammed. Notice all the reviews are from people with a few or 1 review? My guess is employees or paid reviews

I called James from Mobile Mechanic Pros San Francisco to do the radiator replacement for me and he did such an amazing job! He arrived early to the appointment and finished the job in less than an hour. Very good communication and a friendly mechanic, will call him again if I have auto repair needs in Daly City.

My Ford needed urgent assistance, was not sure if it's the brakes or something else, so I called Mobile Mechanic Pros San Francisco and they were super quick, diagnosed the issue, replaced the brake pads. Thanks again for the quality work!
