Common questions

Do I need an appointment?

Calling ahead gets you the fastest turnaround — same-day for most routine work when the schedule allows. (415) 459-0900.

What vehicles do you work on?

Asian, European and domestic makes — from routine maintenance to major repair, gas engines to modern electronics.

Can you handle my smog check?

Yes — smog and registration services are handled in-house, so you don't need a second stop.

Will you explain the repair before doing it?

Always. You'll get a plain-English explanation of what's wrong, what it costs, and what can safely wait — before any work begins.
