I stopped by California Auto Repair Service for a check-up visit and had a really great experience. The owner, Lincoln, was thorough and honest in his evaluation, taking the time to explain what actually needed attention and what didn’t. The work was done in a timely manner, and the fees were fair—not overpriced at all. It’s clear he runs his business with high integrity, which is hard to find these days. I appreciate the straightforward service and would definitely recommend this shop.

I just met Lincoln after bringing in my Audi Q3 for a TSB. Booked an appointment online, Lincoln called to follow up before bringing in my car. Easy in, easy out. Lincoln is a really nice guy, straight shooter, and I'll be back for all my auto needs in the future.

OVERPRICED AND ULTIMATELY INEFFECTIVE My recent experience with California Auto Repair Services has been nothing short of an infuriating blend of incompetence and audacity. One would assume that a $500 repair bill would, at the very least, come with a resolution or a proper repair. I GOT NEITHER. I expected a professional diagnosis and an effective repair (I paid $500!). Instead, I received vague assurances and an invoice that seemed more like a ransom demand than a reflection of services rendered. The initial problems that I needed fixed were left unchanged, making me seriously question the skill and the integrity of this business. The complete lack of communication throughout the process was my first red flag. Any questions I asked were met with a condescending demeanor and dismissiveness - a TOTAL contrast to the professionalism one would expect from a supposedly reputable service provider. What completely shook me was the nonchalant attitude they had when I expressed my dissatisfaction. Rather than addressing the failure to fix my original issue, they were more interested in defending their incompetence and suggested another diagnostic - a desperate money grab without any guarantee of results. AVOID THESE PEOPLE AT ALL COSTS and find a different trustworthy establishment, unless you want to find yourself in a similar position to mine.

A check engine lamp appeared on my dashboard, on my first day in San Francisco after a long cross country drive and I drove my Honda Odyssey to the nearest mechanic. I was so lucky that it was California Auto Repair. Lincoln is a very kind person and his optimistic attitude helped calm my nerves. He helped to diagnose the problem with my transmission and also alerted me to a problem with my rear brakes. I think his pricing is honest and fair and his shop is very efficient. I am happy to have a trustworthy mechanic in the city.

Lincoln quoted my daughter $90 to do a thorough check of her car before she was going on a long road trip. He was very nice on the phone and super nice when my daughter brought her car in. He checked it all out and only charged the $90. He didn’t try to upsell her on anything and explained things clearly. She did need the under carriage of the car re-fastened and he ordered the part and charged a fair price to do that work. We will bring our car back there for sure! Thanks Lincoln!
