Absolutely so grateful I got referred to this place for my BMW!! Patrick the owner was so honest, well informed and kind. Sometimes as a woman I definitely feel like I get jerked around at auto-shops or talked down to like I couldn't possibly know what was going on w my car. But not here!! He even pulled up a graphic on a flat screen of my cars engine and pointed out the issues so I could totally visually understand. And to boot my car serviced here was half the cost the BMW dealership quoted me!! It's super clean and modern and a well equipped space in SOMA. I was headed to a wedding out of town and needed the car back by the next day and they pulled it off w flying colors. They specialize in Audi, BMW and other luxury cars. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!! Thank you Patrick!!

Best auto repair service ever!! Brought my Hyundai in yesterday for a disturbing, ever-increasing squeaky rattling sound, and was blown away by the wonderful comprehensive service! Bill explained to me the probable causes (a loose belt,) including a video showing me how the belt works (or when it doesn't!) with the exact sound my car made - bingo, problem identified! He also discovered a leaking water pump, and was able to fix all in one day. So grateful!!! I really appreciated Bill's patience in answering my questions, and clear explanations. And he even washed the car to boot!! I met Pat when came to pick up my car, and he reviewed my charges, explaining thoroughly - so appreciate this great customer service! Both Pat and Bill made me feel like a very valued customer, thank you!! I will most definitely be back, highly recommend!!

Excellent experience. Very helpful, informative, on time and on estimate, friendly. Pat and Bill were very professional, courteous and generous with their time, answering questions, taking good care of my car. Very highly recommended. These guys love making cars run their very best, I can tell.

I was immediately won over by these guys. The business proprietor, Patrick, was super easy to work with on my oddball request (among other things, installing used OEM MOPAR seats for my Wrangler, bought on eBay and shipped from the eBay seller directly to Pat's shop), and he was very flexible work around my tight business schedule. And another thing I immediately noticed: the shop was well maintained, organized, and clean -- all major pluses considering some of the high-end cars I noticed in the shop that day. And Bill, the talented mechanic and Wrangler enthusiast assigned to my job, was GREAT. He takes obvious pride in his work, and he delivered. I couldn't be happier with the results on the complicated "new" seats" as well as other miscellaneous items, so much so that after I swung by to pick up my Wrangler that same afternoon, we talked shop for quite awhile afterward on other possibilities down the road for future upgrades...to the point that I decided to move my Jeep timetable up aggressively with solid trust in Bill and Pat, taking on the upgrades over the next two weeks (including a lift I'd previously put on hold, that Bill demo'ed with a jack under my Jeep showing me what the lift would look like). Bottom line, these guys are SOLID and SUPERB -- and looking forward to heading back for Round 2 next week -- I know my sweet honey -- my Jeep :) -- will appreciate it. UPDATE 4/10/2018: Pat and Bill (actually, his name is Bela) continue to ROCK -- I took my Jeep back a couple of times since my initial review for a few more addons that have been delivered to me sporadically. All were WINS in the way that Bela treated my Jeep with tremendous care and conscientiousness -- most notably my new lift and new suspension. Yesterday I went back and had my old mud tires replaced with quality BFG KO2 all-terrains...Bela was persistent in tracking down the noise issues that were plaguing the Jeep beyond the old tires...and while I'm still obviously breaking in the new BFGs, the Jeep feels like it's gliding on air now. I'm basically driving what feels like a brand new ride now. These gents are great guys, fair prices, quality customer care, and have become my go-to's for my Jeep needs. No need to head over to the East Bay or even Sac for this kind of work now.

I took my Dodge van to San Francisco Automotive Solutions because of an electrical issue and they knew exactly what the problem was and exactly how to fix it. They saved me a bunch of time amd made it extremely affordable. Thanks so much San Francisco Automotive Solutions!!!!

I have been bringing my car to Pat and his team for about 17 years and would not dream of going anywhere else. Even now that I moved out of SF, I still drive in to have them work on my car. They are extremely honest, which we all know can be hard to find. They also take the time to explain how things work and why what is happening is happening (if you care to know). More importantly, they go above and beyond. I recently had my car break down while on a road trip and had it towed to a local mechanic. I texted Pat to let him know and right away he told me what probably had broken. When the local mechanic tried to pass off other work as needed, Pat called him and talked him through what needed to be fixed (and how he should not be trying to take me for unnecessary fixes). It was such a relief to have Pat "on my team"! I highly recommend them.

I really cannot recommend this shop enough. Pat got back to me so fast about a quote (via email and text) and when to bring my car into his shop. Him and his team had my car's needs addressed super fast; even below the quoted price. Expectations and updates were clearly set at points throughout this experience. Top notch service and experience.

Pat and his team are truly unique. Patient, kind, and most importantly honest. Three years ago, I had the misfortune of having my clutch give out on Polk, and the mechanic told me about this place. I have not been disappointed since. They have actively down-sold me on multiple items (type of clutch, side mirror, etc.). Their shop is clean and organized - a reflection of the quality of work they do. In short, I can't recommend these guys enough.

Pat was amazing! Came here not really knowing what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised at the warm service and detailed explanation of my car's situation. I admit that I don't know much about cars, but I did look up estimates from other auto shops and the prices were comparable. And the car wash I got after was much better than the washes from some dealerships! Icing on the cake! Thanks again for the amazing service.
