San Francisco Automotive Solutions

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

Great quality work for virtually half the price of what a dealership would charge. I know because when I found out the estimate from my dealership, I had my car towed from the dealership to All American and was very glad I did.

I have read some of the reviews from my fellow Yelpers and don't understand the 1 star ratings. We are a 4 car family and have spent way too much money on repairs and maintenance. I apologize for this lengthy review but I'm sure it is worth reading.My youngest son has a 2003 Prius and for the last 4 months have had issues in the morning with being able to start it up. I took this car to another mechanic that I've been dealing with for at least 6 years on 3 different occasions. Each time the car was returned to me with "there's nothing wrong with it". The last time I insisted that he change the battery so I wouldn't have to worry about my baby being stranded somewhere with a non working car. I was told that the battery is on a "forever backorder" and is not available. WTHBeing that we live in San Francisco, our cars must be moved on street cleaning day. I called AAA to have the car towed to another mechanic since the other one had no solution for me. AAA sent me a truck to jump the battery vs. tow it and the tow truck driver recommended that I take the car here since Larry's Tow has all/most of their trucks serviced there. I called and got "Bill" who was most helpful. We drove the car down there and asked if he would trouble shoot the starting problem & fix it for us. Bill explained it a way where I understood. My son has a giant woofer in the trunk and it might be the reason why the battery was drained so often. He ordered a new battery for me and everything was resolved in a day. I want to go back to the other mechanic and tell him what happened but I want to keep my options open in case I need him in the future for whatever reason. My son also had a flat which he repaired but it turned out that it should be replaced so he did not charge me for the repair. I don't know who Patrick is that I've read in several reviews but maybe he's gone. If you need your car serviced, ask for Bela or Bill is his American name. The most honest and knowledgeable man I have ever met in this business and I have met quite a few in my days.

I have been COMPLETELY satisfied with the customer service and great repair work done on my 2002 Chrysler Sebring for years now. Pat, the head service manager , is super-friendly, knowledgeable, and explains ALL of what is being done to your vehicle and the charges. I have taken my car in many times for routine oil changes and bigger servicing and have always felt the shop charged a FAIR price for the work done. Pat does not "UP-SELL" me on things I don't need or can afford. Pat tells me the FACTS about what my car needs and lets ME decide what to do...I like that approach.LOVE this Service shop. It is also very CLEAN, and well organized, so I feel "safe" leaving my vehicle at this shop even if it is for overnight or a few days...This shop also works on most Makes of cars, I believe...so that is a PLUS!I highly recommend this business!
