Auto Repair in The Bayview, San Francisco

A Bayview shop, by Bayview people

We are at 2800 Oakdale Ave, between 3rd Street and Newcomb. Our family has been on this block long enough that we know which neighbors drive what, who tows on which side of the street, and how to get a stuck car out of the alley behind Lockwood. If you have lived in Bayview, your car has probably driven past us a thousand times.

What Bayview cars need most

City driving is hard on a car, and Bayview throws in extra: steep climbs up to the cuts, potholes around the industrial blocks, and stop-and-go on 3rd. Here is what we see most often on Bayview cars:

• Brake jobs from the climb-and-stop pattern up around Hilltop and Silver Terrace
• Suspension and alignment work after the rougher stretches of Evans, Phelps, and Newcomb
• Smog repairs on older Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissans that mostly do short trips
• Battery and starter replacements after long stretches of street parking with no driving
• Catalytic converter replacements (Bayview cars get hit more than the city average)

How we do business

You call or walk in. We diagnose the actual problem, give you a written estimate before any work starts, and we do not start work until you say go. If a job is bigger than what is on the phone, we call before we touch it. No surprise charges, no upsells you did not ask for.
