Our story
The shop that shows you the problem
We're a neighborhood auto and brake shop at 645 Judah Street in San Francisco, open Monday through Friday. Customers come to us for brake work, diagnostics, and repairs, and they keep coming back because we tell them the truth about what their car needs.
When you bring your car in, we don't hand you a mystery invoice. We put the car on the lift, walk you through what we found, and explain what actually needs fixing and what doesn't. More than one customer has come to us with a multi-thousand-dollar dealership quote and left having paid a fraction of it, for the repair that was actually needed.
Most diagnoses and repairs are turned around within a single working day, so you're back on the road fast.
- Honest, transparent diagnoses — we show you the parts
- Fair prices customers compare to doing it themselves
- Most repairs completed within one working day
- Trusted second opinions on dealership quotes
What customers say
“You won’t find a more honest and straightforward mechanic. He offers sound advice and extremely fair prices, comparable to doing the repairs yourself. They have been able to diagnose and replace broken parts within the working hours of one day. I highly recommend Gary and his team.”
“I brought my car to a certified Toyota service center first and was quoted nearly $4,800 for repairs that Gary quickly identified as bogus. Gary lifted the car, walked me through everything with a flashlight... He fixed what actually needed fixing, charged a fair price... He’s the kind of person who restores your faith in auto repair.”
“This shop is exceptional, refreshingly honest and great mechanics! I got the sense that Gary genuinely cares that his customers' cars are fixed, unlike some shops who just seem to find ways to rack up labor. Highly recommend. I'll definitely return!”
