San Francisco Auto Works has been a Mission District fixture for over 15 years. We're not a chain, not a mega-dealer — we're your neighbors, and we take that seriously.
Every car that comes through our bay gets the same treatment: a thorough diagnosis, an honest recommendation, and no work done without your explicit approval.
"Best mechanic in the city, hands down. They found an issue another shop missed and fixed it for half the price I was quoted elsewhere. These guys are honest."
"I've been bringing my car here for 6 years. They're always transparent about what needs doing versus what can wait. Never felt pressured into unnecessary work."
"Fast, reliable, and they actually answer their phone. Got me back on the road same day when my alternator went. Highly recommend."
Call us directly or stop by the shop. No appointment necessary for most services — but same-day availability is always better with a quick call ahead.
