San Francisco Automotive Solutions

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.

My wife drove our family van carpooling with her colleagues to San Francisco for a conference. Unfortunately, the van would not start for the return trip the following morning. She had it towed to San Francisco Automotive Solutions and met by Patrick as she arrived. Later, she commented that she immediately liked and trusted his genuine professional, friendly and cheerful demeanor. He quickly diagnosed the problem, got the van started, and had her on her way within 15 minutes of her arrival. His clean shop, professionalism, and expertise resolved an otherwise very inconvenient and stressful situation quickly and effectively. If the star rating limit were any number greater than five, I would give San Francisco Automotive Solutions all of them without hesitation. Thank you, Patrick!

I've been having Pat work on my cars for years. I recently got a new Toyota FJ Cruiser, and had them completely overhaul it and they did an amazing job! I has new tires, rims, front Smittybuilt bumper, winch, front lights, fog lights, rear lights, and internal switches for the fog lights with 2 extra internal USB chargers with their own fuses. And also a new front custom grill. They also took off parts I needed to get painted, took them to the paint shop put them on afterwards. Bela the Technician really did a fantastic job with special attention to every custom detail. I would highly recommend them and will continue to use them for service and future mods for my off road 4x4...

I got a flat tire driving around San Francisco, so I called AAA to take me to a tire repair shop. They took me to San Francisco Automotive Solutions because it was the closest one near by. I called before they took me there to see if they do tire repairs - I was told that they really don't do that as a general rule, because they're not a tire shop, they're like a proper mechanic. Fortunately they had a few minutes free in their day and said for me to come on by. I did - and I found out that I ran over something nasty and my tire was shredded beyond repair. They didn't have my tires in stock (as I said, they're not a tire shop par se) - so I asked them to please mount my spare tire and I'd find some place to get some tires. They recommended some makes of tire for me, and when I went to pick up my car, they didn't charge me anything for all the trouble they'd gone through. Amazing, in this day and age! Outstanding service, very friendly, and if I lived in San Francisco, this is where I'd take my ride for service. Thanks guys!

This auto shop is awesome! Mechanics are really smart and professional. The shop is nice and clean and open. Owner is super nice and will work with your car care needs with you. Going in for an oil change Friday! Love this place!

Had work done here before and it was just OK. The problem was 90% fixed and the price was reasonable. So decided to bring my vehicle (Mercedes Benz) in for a brake inspection again since it near my job. The quote I was given I felt was to much so I told them over the phone I'd take it somewhere else. Then they proceeded to bad mouth other auto repair shops with things like there appearance and experience. Even had the nerves to bad mouth Mercedes Benz when I mentioned I had work done there. Once I go to pick up my vehicle, a rude mechanic is the only one there and tries to charge me when I was told there would be no charge for the inspection. He refused to hand over my keys until I paid. Fortunately (for him) the front desk guy showed up and released the vehicles to but added "I can no longer bring my car there"! I wouldn't dream of it.

I've been a customer for a decade (I think). I use to have an old bucket and the quality service was great. I'm not a mechanic, but my car was running smooth consistently after repairs and maintenance was done. Eventually it died and I purchased a newer vehicle from Toyota that had me in a locked in lease/maintenance agreement for few years. As soon as my time was up, I returned to AAA and as expected, they took over and provided outstanding service. Communication was awesome with the texting. Bill the mechanic was thorough and took the time to demonstrate and explain the work. I don't mind paying a little more for diamond service.

Price was fair and the work was great! Thanks
