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!

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!

I was disappointed with 24 Mobile Truck Repair SF. The pricing was way too high for the service provided, and the repair didn’t last long before I had issues again. I expected better professionalism and quality for what I paid.

We had a great experience with 24 Truck Repair SF. The technician was extremely responsible, dedicated, and professional in every manner. The quality of work was excellent, and the service was beyond our expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of reliable and effective truck repair services!

I had the pleasure of working with an exceptional professional who came all the way from San Francisco to San Jose to fix our transmission. He’s not only a great guy but also a hard worker with an outstanding work ethic. His honesty and dedication were truly impressive. I would highly recommend him to my friends and any company looking for a reliable and skilled technician.

Bator was so incredibly helpful. I have a RAM 2500 Diesel truck I use to tow a large fifth wheel trailer and needed an oil change. He was courteous and reasonably priced and even helped install a cargo box in my truck. I would highly recommend him for mobile mechanic service. It’s more convenient and less expansive than a brick and mortar location

Fixed my Freightliner twice. Both times were different issues with a truck and both times nothing but the great experience. The guy comes to the parking lot and makes everything fast, efficient and for a reasonable price.

Came here on new year eve to get my car fix, they are amazing, very friendly , honest and professional. Best auto repair shop in town

Willy  auto . 16,000$ I paid to fix anything that might be wrong. The car started up great but after willy did work on my car back to back. My car breaks down back to back. He got me a rebuild Alternator and a rebuild transmission then I break down two hours later and then fork out some more money. Two years have passed almost and I've got 6hour of driving out of the car. Now he's telling me , I need a brand new alternator and a brand new transmission again.  Sixteen thousand dollars later. He's horrible  and he trying to get me in so he can keep my car for two months wash it and fake a fix. He's a rip off. He a cool believable con artist.

I was told that this guy Willie was the best at working on old school cars so I took my 1973 Pontiac trans am to him. Yesterday, I stepped on the gas and this car was a completely different animal!! Runs great and peels the pavement off the road!! I'm going to drive it to Sacramento with confidence. Thanks Willie!!

Guillermo seems very knowledgeable on older cars. The shop had Camaros, Impalas, old VWs, Ford Galaxies and the like. We brought our VW beetle for a possible blown Head Gasket.

I know nothing about cars and I wanted to someone that I trusted and relied on to do a full check-up on the car so that I could feel safe driving it again. Willy did a full auto-detailing on my car that hadn't been used (due to shelter-in-place) for 6 months and sat in my garage! It came out of his shop all brand new and I felt so good about it and safe driving it afterwards. It's a family-owned business and felt like he cared! He explained to me what was wrong with the car and walked me through all the details. I really appreciate his humility and friendly nature. His daughter who runs the office is extremely nice too. I highly recommend going here if you want to support a local small business, but also want to get good quality service!
