San Francisco Automotive Solutions

I should have written this review years ago. There is literally no one I would trust more to work on my car than Stacey and his team at Affordable. They are the old-school, neighborhood model of what capitalism is supposed to be: they believe in keeping your business long-term--so they treat you fairly, honestly, explain what they're doing and why, treat you with absolute integrity, and trust that you'll keep coming back. And we all do.

Patrick is very professional, explained the car problem in details advised on how I can make sure I keep my car running its best. I am very happy with the service and will definitely use their service in the future, I will actually prefer them over Mercedes Benz Official service center

Just bought a new (used) Jeep and we needed several things. I was confident the dealer we purchased from did not do an inspection and really needed peace of mind. Patrick and team did a full 130 point inspection! We also had a light come on the instrumental panel. Patrick has this really cool computer simulator (that he shows you on a tv screen) which walks you through what was wrong and what it does. Love these guys! Can’t wait for our upgrades to come in and have the guys help us to customize our Jeep!

Took the time to thoroughly explain the necessary repairs, what they’d do to fix it, and patiently answered all questions.

Barely made it into the city with my misfiring Eurovan. Needed the car looked at immediately since I was supposed to pick up my son from the Benioff Children's hospital a few hours later. None of the nearby shops had time or space, but Patrick from San Francisco Automotive Solutions made an exception when he heard about our circumstances. His mechanic went straight to work when I got there and the car was fixed in under half an hour. Did us a huge favor, thank you!

My BMW X5 was delivered to automotive solutions by mistake. It was supposed to go to BMW of San Francisco. Patrick (the principle of Automotive solutions) was very courteous and parked my X5 in his shop over night. The tow service was supposed to pickup my car between 8-9 and deliver it to BMW. When they arrived at automotive solutions they found the parking brake was stuck ON and would not release. They had brought a flat bed to get it but, they needed a cradle truck. All the while Patrick is calling the towing companies to aid in getting my car towed to the correct location. Patrick is extremely patient and allowed me to keep the car there at no charge until the towing companies got their act together and sent the proper vehicle. Finally five hours past the time they were supposed to have picked up the car they got it and brought it to BMW of San Francisco. I will definitely go visit Patrick and personally thank him for his patience. I will likely also have Patrick service my vehicle in the near future.

I really appreciated how honest and helpful Patrick was. He works hard to make sure his customers are satisfied. He did a full inspection of my car and labeled which things were most important to be fixed and which things could wait. I felt like prices were fair.

Has to be hands down the best mechanic in SF. A good honest mechanic is hard to come by and glad I found them. Prompt service and responsiveness and they won’t screw you over like a number of other places I’ve been to in SF. Thanks so much!

I brought my 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser to have the AC system checked for leaks since the AC was not blowing cold air anymore. I received a text message on the same day regarding the issue and fix with photo of the culprit. I gave the consent to fix and it was fixed accordingly. Pat, the owner of the shop, recommended a new condenser in the future and added that the existing one was bent but still useable. No leaks were detected. I will be bringing my TLC back to this shop for maintenance in the future. I like the way Pat runs this shop. It is clean and well kept. I like the way he uses technology to keep his customers informed and keeping them in the loop instantly. Also like the invoice being sent via text and no surprises. Very up front! Highly recommend.
