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.Its beyond refreshing and comforting to find a place that have the customers best interests at heart. You dont find very many places like that these days.Thanks team!

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.

The team here at The Garage are fantastic. They’re really nice and I trust them whole heartedly. Thank you for taking care of my car and my safety!

These guys are straight up legit. They partner with you to get the most out of your car and dont try to sell you anything that you dont need. That is why I dont 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 wont 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.

I took my 2015 Audi A3 in because it was leaking oil, and the electronics were acting up. The staff was amazing and courteous! They kept me updated on any changes or new issues that they found. My car is running beautifully now. Legit my favorite shop in the city. No nonsense, just dope work! Would definitely go back and I’m going to start taking my girl’s car in so they can work on it too!

I brought in my 98 SN95 because I had a coolant leak and it looked pretty bad from the outside looking in, but Ray and Kyle at The Garage said no problem just bring it on by they ran a diagnostic and found the Bain of my problems and a solution. I’ll definitely bring my Mustang back to them for any issue(s) in the future

Professional, timely, quality work and no BS. As long as it logistically makes sense to take my vehicles here, I wont be going anywhere else. Thank you for your years of service! Greatly appreciated!

Great customer service, very honest, no extra repair. They performed a checkup of my car for free. They told me to replace the tires in a different store before a long trip. They ended up just replacing the windshield wipers for a few bucks. I highly recommend them!!!!

I have been taking my vehicles to The Garage since 2013 and they have always done first-rate work! They are honest, transparent and competitive from a price perspective. There have been several instances where theyve actually talked me out of or to delay service they deemed unnecessary. Ive recommended The Garage to all of my friends and family. I am a customer for life!

Great guys at the garage. Helped out with every question and problem with my 4runner. Kyle also forwarded me to another shop that can help with after market products 👍 Go niners!

Had my car serviced 2 times with The Garage and they have always been quick, friendly, thorough and fair. Definitely will be my go-to for as long as I live in San Francisco!

The Garage is a great place to have your car serviced. They are super friendly, knowledgeable, and upfront/no hassle about what your car actually needs. They arent pushy and dont try to oversell. Highly recommend and have been going to them for years.

Really appreciated the work done on my VW CC at The Garage. Kyle and their team were incredibly communicative and helped me avoid an unnecessary charge the dealer wanted me to pay for on it.They were able to quickly get my repairs in place and provide an amazing amount of details within their emails about the work that was performed. Will definitely be going back for any future issues.

My family brings our cars to the Garage because they are honest and do excellent work. They never disappoint.

Great experience. Would definitely come back

Best in class service, plus outstanding value for money and good vibes staff. Wish Id started going there many years ago.

I took my car to The Garage for valve cover gasket replacement last week. I was extremely satisfied with Rays professionalism. He took the time to explain their process and kept me informed throughout. During their investigation of the problem, they found other issues, he quickly informed me via text and followed up with a phone call. This is my first time taking my car to The Garage, but it wont be the last time. I will definitely go back to them for future repair works.

I’ve been a customer since I bought my jeep last year and I will always bring any of my vehicles here. The service is outstanding! The honesty and professionalism is top notch. I feel like family every time I bring my jeep in for service.

My 13 year old car has been a problem with unusual electrical/mechanical issues not easily solved. Kyle has been great leading the way to solving the issues. Great service always with a pleasant demeanor.

Great communication, friendly staff. Uncomplicated care service. This is the shortest turnaround Ive had, maybe I was lucky but the service was still #1

Check engine light came on and I was able to schedule an appointment with The Garage within a few days. They are very professional and communicative and had sent me the diagnostics report in a timely manner (within a few hours of dropping my car off). Also had my brakes replaced since it was about that time anyways. Was able to drop my car off in the morning and pick it up the next day. Will be going here for all my future car service needs.

Honest, timely, thorough mechanic shop. I recently brought my car here after being hastily quoted on an oil leak and rear shock problem at another mechanic. I was experiencing some lack of trust in mechanics, but The Garage did a phenomenal job. They send you a very detailed report (with pictures) on the car to look at and keep on file, and they take the time to answer all the questions you may have. As someone who doesn’t know too much about vehicles, I felt really confident in the information they gave me about the issues I needed to fix. Will definitely be choosing The Garage for my regular mechanic. Special thanks to Ray who helped me over the phone and in person, he’s a great help!

These guys are the real deal. I started taking my car here after too many disappointing issues elsewhere. Everyone here is so friendly and they are very communicative and transparent about the work that is recommended and done to your vehicle. Highly recommend!

Friendly service, they know BMWs! Fair price. Had car trouble over weekend and they got me in 1st thing Monday morning. I will be back.

They did a diagnostic on my vehicle and they were unable to do any of the work because of the car, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful

Ive been taking my automobiles to The Garage for maintenance and repair for about 14 years, maybe longer. I have always gotten courteous, friendly treatment and excellent results. And, with a variety of cars. These guys seem to be able to handle any brand and model. I recommend them highly.

The Garage did a great job of taking care of my car quickly. I was in and out quickly. The folks at the front desk were very professional.

Great service of oil filter change and brake fluid flush: $250Looking forward to continued service with The Garage.

I was looking for a routine maintenance for my car and I was really surprised with The Garage team. The communication since the time Ive scheduled until I got the car back was really great. They gave me a very detailed explanation about the service that had to be done which for me also demonstrated their honesty in their service.I also liked their price.

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

I needed to get an oil change and brake fluid replacement on fairly short notice recently. Kyle got me in for service, communicated promptly and clearly throughout, and the Garage team even beat their estimate on how long it might take. I appreciated how Kyle let me know about likely upcoming maintenance needs, without pressuring me to book anything this second. Excellent value as well (compare to other shops in the city!). Two thumbs up!

I recommend The Garage SF. They are honest, fast and reasonably priced. I always bring my car here for a second opinion for major repairs and have been pleased with The Garage’s recommendations and communication.

I share these comments about the service, competence, and professionalism of The Garage because I know how difficult it is to choose a maintenance service for an automobile. I have had my 2004 Volvo serviced and cared for by The Garage for well over ten years. From the beginning, they proved to be, not only competitively priced, but more importantly professional, and knowledgeable. They have never attempted to sell me something I did not need, they always explained exactly what was going on with this car, and did so in a manner that I was able to understand. I always felt confident they were keeping my car running in tip-top condition. The bonus to their maintenance know-how, is their friendly, cheerful staff. Somebody at the Garage totally understands customer service, and imparts that knowledge to every employee. In all those years, each individual I have dealt with is genuinely concerned about my safety and the upkeep of my car. I cannot rate them highly enough. I have not always been comfortable with auto repair establishments, but the moment I found The. Garage I was confident I had found the right one.

Easy to deal with, no shenanigans and good prices. I love that the shop is clean as well.

I was looking for a nice clean shop to start working on my VW. I called around before i settled on the Garage. Brian Blew me away, Friendly, courteous and the price was very fair. Only $125 Vs. $400 at another shop( Valencia St ) that was just feeding me BS in an attempt to scare me and to rip me off. Truth be told folks, do your research, call around and watch out for fast talking individuals. The garage was clearly the winner in this one. Shout out to Brian too.

Their venue isn’t much to write about but their service, integrity, and friendliness are exceptional. Highly recommended.

My long-time mechanic retired, so hopefully tried The Garage when the brake wear sensor came on in my 2916 Mini Cooper. Figured the pads were shot at 65K and xxpecting 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.

I needed a battery, the old one (and it was old, 2006) died suddenly. They were very helpful. When I asked if I should get AAA to just jump the battery or have my car towed, they explained how the system works, that if the alternator works (which it did), I should be able to get down there ok (which I did). When I left the car, they did a free overall test of other problems. Found that I needed steering fluid and brake fluid -- immediately (which I had them do). They also advised I get hood struts, which, fortunately, they had on hand and put in. Overall, I was very pleased with their work and efficiency. I used to take my car to Roger/Melrose Motors, who retired and sold to The Garage. Fortunately, The Garage kept a lot of Rogers mechanics, who have been working on my car for years. Im very happy. Thanks to all! Addie

I was referred to them through CarMax and so far they’ve been very good to me service is good and honest.

Been taking my car here for years. Kyle and team always give top notch service and honest about what really needs to be done. This last one was a real puzzle as I was having trouble starting my car *only after I put gas in it.* Couldnt reproduce it on command as it didnt happen anywhere else. The Garage figured out the problem was a faulty sensor of fuel vapor in my gas line which is in agreement with the symptoms I experienced. I am SO thankful for their service!! Got my car back a few hours later.

Always a great experience and these guys totally know what theyre doing. Bonus is they are friendly and helpful and charge reasonable prices.

Really friendly, helpful and communicate service. I’m happy to visit again.

Great service, friendly people, and good pricing at both The Garage and their sister shop for body work, Full Spectrum Autobody. We have been repeat customers for a broken door handle replacement as well as a bumper replacement. Mike took great care of us - thank you!

Great communication and they find ways to make it right if your cars warranty should but doesnt cover something that you need done asap thank you!

These guys are my go to shop. I have an OLD xterra with 250k miles on it and i take it here regularly for maintenance. Somehow theyve managed to keep me on the road, probably using magic on my car.Theyre trustworthy and are good mechanics. Id recommend this shop to anyone.

Ive used these guys on a couple of fixes on our car and Ive always loved their courtesy, professionalism and knowledge base. They are also very competitive on pricing and back it up with quality work.

Don’t bother going to this rip off joint! Charges $200.00 just to open the hood! No kidding! Staff is rude and nasty. Don’t go there!

Felt disrespected and overcharged. Inside door handle was broken along with the window controls. We took it in, hoping to get entire thing repaired. They look at it, tell us to wait while they get the parts. When they do, and we come back, they realized something was wrong with the electrical components, and would have to order even more parts. We had to press the guy for him to admit that they should have found this out the first time, initially he would not suggest any wrongdoing. I am well versed in electrical engineering and could tell right away the guy had no idea what he was talking about. In fact, I felt good about repairing the electronics myself, but we wanted the car door to feel more stable. So we wait again for a part to arrive. They proceed to just fix the electronics, which I could have done myself. Upon being asked why they could not fix the entire handle, they said they needed a certain part that was rare and expensive. THEY NEVER MENTIONED THAT BEFORE, NOR THAT WHAT THEY WERE FIXING WAS JUST THE ELECTRONICS. They should have told us from the start our options, instead of stringing us along for the most expensive outcome. The guy was rude and would not admit it could have been handled better. Lesson: bring friends who like cars to shop, to avoid getting ripped off.

Very through, I didnt end up using the Garage for their services as a friend was able to do it.

Friendly, no BS, super convenient location. Kyle was great! SOOO happy I found a new mechanic:)

Need service etc. Come see these guys. No nonsense and honest people. They can do brakes, oil changes, swap a battery...pretty much anything.

Kyle was super great in helping my mom with her car issue. Provided excellent customer service! Thank you The Garage Team serviced our 2016 Kia Sorento!

Great service. They got everything done well, and were very helpful.

Friendly and professional service.

Ive had my car serviced at the garage a few times and theyre always very professional, knowledgeable and super friendly. Danny got my car in right away for an electrical issue that was killing my battery. Great communication and speed.

Thank you for the thorough examination of my check engine light. Great detective work. Keep you your dedicated work!

I chose to take my car to THE GARAGE because of their outstanding reviews. Having done that, I can say all the praise they have gathered is well deserved. Great group of people. Kind, professional, and determined to make the process as easy and clear as possible. The Garage doesnt disappoint.

Ive taken my car in twice to The Garage for oil changes and tire rotation. I LOVE the detailed inspection they do and how they email you a full report complete with pictures. They are prompt and professional. They have not pressured me into unnecessary repairs. I have been completely satisfied with their work and highly recommend them to friends and family!

I called the Garage based on Google reviews and I am glad I did. Kyle answered the phone immediately and professionally (which was a stark contrast to the other shop Id been trying to reach for a week). He was very friendly and knowledgeable about my situation (stolen catalytic converter from a 2008 Prius). I had my vehicle towed to The Garage on a Friday afternoon and the car was ready for me by Tuesday (including the time needed to order custom parts). Kyle stayed in close contact every step of the way, so I had complete confidence that I was well taken care of. The prices were fair, service was top-notch, and Id both recommend them and return for future services.

I have been going to the Garage for at least a decade now. I am always completely satisfied. They always under promise and over deliver. I always feel they are completely honest about work needed and they communicate throughout the process. I highly recommend the Garage.

Great service went the extra mile

Super friendly staff members with fast service of changing my Minis battery, and issued me $10.00 off as a returning client.

Excellent service and communication. Thank you.

Quick, straightforward service. Garage called me to explain what was wrong and how much it would cost. Easy to drop off and pick up. Highly recommend for car repair in the City.

Recommended to me by a born and raised SF native. Ive been coming here for almost a decade, they are great

Great honest service. Reasonable pricing and detailed diagnostics

Theyve taken good care of my 16 year old Mercedes-Benz for severalyears now. Competent and courteous, they will see to it that any problemthat may develop after service, is made right----quickly.

Exceptional customer service at a very competitive price. Thanks Kyle and the team for your professionalism!

The garage do good work. I’ve been there numerous of times with my Mercedes. Keep up the good work

Great and thorough service

10/10 Auto Shop. Fast service, great emailed inspection summary and friendly team. They took great care of me and I will definitely be back next time I need any sort of service.

I always trust the team at The Garage to get my car serviced, be straight with me, and super friendly and efficient! Been coming here for years and highly recommend The Garage if youre looking for great car and customer service.

Consistently fantastic service. Always available for my desired appointment time, fast work, always finished on time (even finished early this time so I could get on the road to Yosemite sooner than planned!). Customer service goes above and beyond.

This is a great shop! We have been customers for over a year. We get great advice and service and our old SUV is running very efficiently, all at reasonable cost.

As a woman whos particular about her 03 manual Z4, I cant tell you how happy I am to have found The Garage about five years ago. Im treated with respect and intelligence every time, as is my car. I expect Betty will be running just the way I like for many years to come. Very reasonable cost to boot. Theyve earned my loyalty and trust.

Excellent as always

Great service & very honest. Before coming here I was giving a misdiagnosis on a very expensive part. So I come to The Garage because they priced repair at at fair price. At the end it was a much cheaper part that needed replacing. Great feeling knowing honest shops still exist. Phenomenal customer service from Kyle. Theyve earned a loyal customer.

What a great place to take your car. They truly treat your car as if it was their own. Exceptional service and there are never any extra unnecessary repairs. In fact they will go out of their way to let you know what to look out for so you can maximize brakes, tires, etc… Can’t even think of taking my car any place else. Thanks guys

Carmax was closed, but The Garage was open and willing to take non-customers (a customer now) during Covid-19. I Thank you, thank you! My car is running great.

Smooth process, nice people, on time.

I have had my car fixed up here three times (old Honda Accord). They really are phenomenal. It feels weird to rave about a mechanic, but they are on time, their prices are great, and they communicate everything clearly.

Wanted to wait a few thousand miles before reviewing. Cannot recommend this shop enough. Kyle not only helped me through purchasing a used car (inspection) but he took extremely good care of the car after I ended up buying it. Their prices are extremely reasonable considering their turnaround, location, and how good the work is. Everyone is super friendly, they seriously know their stuff and Kyle even replaced a broken wiper for me free of charge. Ive spent thousands at other mechanics in different cities and never experienced such good treatment and helpful advice.Seriously these guys are the best mechanics Ive ever had the pleasure of dealing with and the car is running like a dream ~4k miles later. Hopefully Kyle owns the shop (or will own it soon) because he runs it like a well tuned sports car.

Kyle and his team are honest, reliable and fast. I’ve saved hundreds of dollars on expensive repairs that other shops told me to do that the Garage said weren’t the best investment.

I have been a customer here. Danny, Kyle and team are the best. Thank you for working on my vehicle when needed.

I have an older Ford Escape Hybrid, in generally good condition. The Garage managed to quickly complete a repair for well below the dealer estimate, preserved the old parts to explain the problem, and found nothing more to work on. I felt the interaction had a great deal of integrity and Ill be bringing my car back here for future service. Thanks all!

I have taken my car there for several years. This place used to be good, but i took my 2011 Ford Escape there last week for its 95K service. I was asked when I needed it back, I said 2pm. The receptionist, Lily Caro, who later was identified on my paperwork as the service adviser, said alright. I assumed that meant, it would be ready on time. Well I was never called and I called them at 4:45 pm and was told it was ready. I was never given any information about what was found needing repairs, except 2 tires that would need replaced soon. I said alright. They used give you a call and let you know what needs servicing when they are working on the car. At pick up all she gave me was a receipt with the payment info on it and not much else. They used to give you a link to all the items inspected, checked, replaced, and would reiterate things that need to be fixed. I was never called about anything needing work. I asked about the link for what they did, and was told, I dont know, let me see. She was able to send the link to my email. When I could finally open the link, it listed several item, including:1. valve cover gasket: Rec to replace engine valve cover2. Front Suspension System:Left LCA bushings cracking/tearingRight LCA bushings cracking/tearingReplace control arm(s)3. Drive Axle Boots: seeping Right and Rear inner4. And a left blinker bulb not working.I was never told of any of these things. The worst sounding like, If the drive axle breaks, then the vehicle will not drive.I am not bringing my car back to them and will seek out a new mechanic. Something seems to have changed, and not for the better. This Lily person doesnt know anything about cars nor have any customer service.

My favorite auto shop in the city. The staff is super friendly and the service is quick. They do a great job at explaining what exactly is wrong with your car and giving an estimate before starting work. Highly recommend them!

Toni at the front desk kept me updated on every step of my cars journey in their shop.Im currently driving across the country and this place was able to fit me in on the same day I went to them which was a HUGE convenience. Their prices were awesome and totally affordable. Ran a computer test free of charge, fixed some minor things, and took it next door to the auto shop to get a quote for my rear bumper without any hidden fees.Definitely recommend giving this place a look.

Quick, straightforward service. Garage called me to explain what was wrong and how much it would cost. Easy to drop off and pick up. Highly recommend for car repair in the City.

All around fantastic service! They gave me an initial quote for replacing brakes over the phone (half the price the dealership quoted!), and were able to get me scheduled to drop my car off just a day or so later. Work was done same day, and they even stayed open a couple of minutes late when I was running a few minutes behind in picking up. Will definitely be coming back to The Garage in the future!

From the greeting to the honest up front analysis right through the service to the picking up of the car.A1

If you are a car guy like me and really care about your car, the garage is the best place to maintain your car!! Or if your a person who has been experienced with mickey mouse mechanics. Look no more give the garage a chance, you will be glad you did. very honest and professional, keep up the good service garage!!

The Garage has been my place to go - finally a place I can trust and with really good knowledge of what they do best - Repair Vehicles! They are very friendly especially Warren who has always been extremely nice and accommodating. They always take me in even when its a last minute emergency. Their estimates are very good. They work long hours. Most importantly, they care about their reputation. They certainly have me as a long term repeat customer and I really appreciate all the good work you guys have done!

I was having trouble with my 2004 Honda Accord check engine light and brought it to the Garage. The guys are very friendly, helpful, and not intimidating like other shops. My car needed minor maintenance which they took care of in a timely manner. The location is also great - easy on and off the freeway. I will definitely take my car back for future maintenance.

The dudes here are great. They were able to take my truck in the next morning and ready by end of day. Thourough and knowledgeable. Price point makes sense for the Bay Area prices

Excellent service, nice professional people, great (super reasonable) prices, and at the end of the day, this is a place youll want to go back if you ever need your car fixed.They have connections, and got me a discounted smog check by referral. Danny went above and beyond the call of duty to help me out, and the garage employs supportive and knowledgeable professionals.

I can always trust them to do thorough and meticulous work. Also, when they spotted a last minute leak, they provided a rental car until they figured it out and fixed it. I appreciate their communication and explanations, as well as the 2-year warranty on all of their work!

Took my 01 Toyota MR2 Spyder in for a full checkup after pulling it out of storage. Kyle quoted me a fair price (with breakdown, via email) for all the serviced I anticipated needing. Scheduling was also done via email. I was 30 min late getting to my appt and was able to call ahead to let them know. Got oil changed, brakes bled and battery replaced by end of day. They didnt have an air filter in stock, but I was able to come in the next day for it (20min). The tech forgot to check my tire pressures as part of the overall service, but I was able to point this out and addressed on my subsequent visit. Overall, really happy with service and value for money.

Moved to SF from Chicago a year ago and really had to read through tons of reviews before deciding to bring my business to The Garage. Couldnt be happier with my decision to make The Garage my go-to shop when my Lexus IS250 needs any sort of work. Staff is super friendly, and just as importantly, they are incredibly responsive to both emails and calls. They always call me before doing any work that I didnt anticipate (or will verify with me before doing any work if the labor costs are exceeding initial estimates). I really feel like Im in good hands here... and Im sure you will too!
