Had a warning light came on in our Mazda 3. Symptom was out of range temp. Thought to be water pump. Had it towed to DAS auto service. 3 hours later, our initial thoughts were confirmed. It was a water pump issue. Quoted $$ for both low pressure and high pressure water pumps. Next day, got a call back from DAS... Only the low pressure pump needed to be replaced, service fees got dropped less than 1/2. We went ahead and requested for other preventative services to be performed as well. Price came out to be only 2/3 of what original quote was. Overall experience, we were very satisfied with the thorough service and fair pricing. Glad to have found an honest repair shop in Daly City. read more

My wife's car battery light came on a Friday evening. She uses her car extensively for work so I looked up mechanics in the area that were opened on a Saturday, and DAS Auto came up highly rated. I gave them a call Saturday morning and spoke to La Lo. He was very helpful, pleasant, and very customer service oriented. I told him about the battery light and he asked if I could bring it in around 1pm since they were pretty booked that day. After bringing in the car, it took about 40 minutes until they were able to come up with a diagnosis for me - the alternator needed replacing. La Lo gave me a quote for the repair, and even did some research to see if he can get better pricing for the part, which he did. He saved me a few hundred dollars, which was much appreciated. He told me I would be able to credit the cost of the diagnosis ($85) towards the repair. I brought the car in for repair the following Tuesday (Monday was a holiday). My wife's car works great now, thanks to DAS Auto! From the initial call, to the in-person interaction, you could tell they care about their customers. Even hearing how they speak to other customers in their shop, they're very honest about the repair (La Lo even told one customer the cost of his repair and that more than likely they might find other things wrong if they went through with it). I highly recommend them! They'll be our go-to mechanic moving forward! read more

Joe is the best mechanic- we've been coming to see him for years! However, my partner made the mistake of letting his father take the car to a neighbor to get the brakes fixed and, as expected on my end, the car was in horrible condition just a few months later. I hit up Joe asking if he could run diagnostics and he was able to make time for us to come in immediately. We left the car with him to troubleshoot and he called us within the hour to let us know the brake discs and pads needed to be replaced and he found a mistake the previous neighbor "mechanic" made when attempting to fix our brake problem. Joe had parts ordered and was able to fix our car the very same day! No more rattling or scratching metal sounds when we brake. I highly recommend taking your car to DAS for any vehicle trouble you may be experiencing! read more

Straightforward service. Reasonable rates. Quick response. Easy to work with. Will bring my car back again when it needed.

I was referred to this facility and worked with Lalo. My son's car stalled out and wouldn't start back up so I had it towed over to have their team check it out. Lalo contacted me when the vehicle arrived and explained the next steps. Later that day he called me back with an update, discussed the recommendations and my options moving forward. Even though I had opted to not perform the repairs I was very pleased with the service. read more

Lalo and Quan are solid trustworthy mechanics. I came in with a sure bigger problem and they were very thorough and found out to be a minor issue. They checked it and sure enough, it was fixed. They are very honest and trustworthy. This place is a true gem. Thank you both. read more

They are very good and professional. Always offers reasonable prices compares to other businesses.

I've been going to DAS Auto Service for a while now, and Quan and his team have been excellent every single time. I've brought three of my own cars here, plus my mom's, and they've helped me sort out everything from a Lexus engine issue to a transmission problem on another Lexus. What I really appreciate is how easy they are to communicate with. They're great in person, on the phone, and even over text, which makes the whole process way less stressful. They always keep me updated and explain things in a way that actually makes sense. The work is solid, the prices are fair, and I never feel like they're trying to push anything extra. I will continue to recommend Quan and his staff to my family and friends. Overall, just a super reliable shop with people who actually care. Thank you, Quan & Lalo, for taking care of us and for always going above and beyond. read more

I now bring all my cars to DAS. They are very honest and fair. Quan (the owner) even drove out to my house to do a quick inspection of a hybrid battery. Highly recommend DAS! read more

Great shop with reasonable price and great staff. Would definitely come here when I have any problems with my car.

Mr. Lalo (mechanic) and Mr. Quann (owner) are very nice and helpful people. As soon as I brought my car in their shop I was immediately got in service with my car. I would highly recommend this dealership and/or shop not just because they treat their customers like their own family, but also they listen to your sight. They do make a lot of consideration as far as the service concern. They don't charge you with service as much. They give you a free shuttle back home and pick up to get your car that was done fixed. Excellent and quality service. Again, I would highly recommend this shop. Very knowledgeable about the specific problem of the car that was diagnosed. Thank you Mr. Lalo and Mr. Quann for your excellent service and help as well. God Bless both of you as well as your dealership. With love and gratitude, Arsenia read more

Honest, fast & efficient business. Brought my car in to get the brakes changed, got my car back same day in 2 hours. Would recommend!

Lalo and his team are straightforward, easy to work with, and refreshingly honest. Prices are fair, and they get the job done without any runaround -- my 8AM appointment for an oil change, tire rotation, and new rotors/brake pads on my '12 Civic was wrapped up in just a few hours. They'll answer all your questions and work with you on options, which is why they're my go-to for local car care (when I'm not using a mobile mechanic). Pro tip: If you're waiting around lunchtime, grab a rice plate at Wong's Cafe right across the street -- classic, tasty, and quick. read more

These guys are the best, as the saying goes it's hard to find a good mechanic, finally I found them here. Sticking with this one.

Quick and efficient!!!! An honest auto repair shop! Unusual in the auto service business. You get what you are quoted. Gerardo, front end scheduler, gives recommendation with precision. read more

I've been coming here for years. This is such a good shop. They have good folks at the desk. They are knowledgeable. They are honest. They never over promise. It's happened a few times where they do the work and it comes out to less and they let me know that. What more can you ask for. How would I know stuff costs less and they could easily overcharge. I just always get the sense that I will be taken care off and they run an honest shop. Good things will happen to these guys. read more

Got brakes and rotors done, took only 2 hours and they employees were good communicators, was a good price as well. Been here a few times, they've always done a great job and I recommend them to people. read more

Been going to DAS for my auto services and as ALWAYS they give you an HONEST and EXCELLENT job!! QUAN especially treats customers like family. That's why we keep going back and referred him to so many friends and families over the years. Keep up the good work QUAN!! Thanks again!! read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Das Auto. My Audi was dealing with an OBD monitor issue that was preventing it from passing smog. A previous shop had taken my car on a 130-mile "diagnostic drive," only to come back with an inaccurate diagnosis, a $400 charge for the "test", and costly estimates for additional parts and repairs I didn't actually need. Das Auto had my car smog-ready in under two hours. They gave me a clear explanation of what was actually wrong--and even clarified that some of the other recommendations I'd received weren't necessary at the moment. I saved not just time and money, but also a lot of stress. I'm relieved to have found a shop I can trust. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Great experience. Price was fair and I received my 2013 Honda Odyssey back same day. They took care of my van's 100k service maintenance and did additional things I requested. read more

Quick, reliable, great customer service. They're always honest and easy to get ahold of. I have come here a handful of times, and am always happy with the service they provide. Would highly recommend. read more

5/5 for their service, location, and environment. I was visiting my mom when I realized it may be a good time to get an oil change. I called them early morning to ask if they allowed any walk-ins and they said yes. I can definitely tell they get busy, so I highly recommend setting up and appointment! When I got there, they were super nice to me and let me know that my car would be done in an hour. I sat in their waiting room and my car was done before I knew it. In the 35 minutes I was sitting in the waiting room, 5 other people showed up after me. I definitely recommend setting up an appointment with them because I could easily see a customer waiting at least 4 hours for their vehicle since they have exceptional customer service. Their garage and waiting room is clean, and the men that work there are nice and are pretty laid back. All-in-all, my car was great, came back the way I left it, and the guys there were nice to me. Can't complain! Great experience. Would come back again. read more

I brought my SUV here to have the struts, shocks, and front lower control arms replaced. I walked in for a quote on December 17, but forgot to ask for a print copy of the quote. When I dropped it off on the 24th, they remembered me and the quoted amount from the week before. Job was completed morning of the 26th as promised. These guys are friendly and efficient. read more

Came here several times for oil changes. Made an appointment each time and they were all done in a reasonable time. They do a quick routine check up too. Nice, quick, and friendly! read more

These guys are great, highly recommend!! I brought my brakes here and they replaced them within an hour and were honest with great customer service. I'll definitely go back, since they were great and reliable. read more

Quick service and convenient location. There was parking and a place to sit while I waited

Good price and were very helpful. Simple service and was half the price of going to the actual dealership.

Thank you Lalo for the brake fluid flush, addressing the check engine light and for the extended days of parking read more

See all

I was given a $600+ quote for a less than $80 job, and based on my last experience, I will not bring my car back. I bought the parts from Amazon after going to Auto Zone and doing some research. I found a shop nearby that changed the $25 part for $60. I saved myself a hefty price tag by taking my time and asking the right people the right questions. I don't feel comfortable trusting them to Diagnose and give an honest quote. Please ask questions about the cost of parts and labor. I respect everyone's service cost, but something is seriously wrong when two different mechanical shops tell me the quote was highly overpriced and they could do it for less than $100. read more

I found this business on Yelp when I was looking for an auto service for my Infiniti SUV. They deserve a five-star rating! Quan and his colleague are very knowledgeable and professional. They explained the problem and how they fixed it. They are experienced, honest, and most importantly, they won't upcharge you! Their rates are very competitive. I highly recommend this business. read more

I've taken my car here 3xs. First two times, the work was done fine. Only complaint is lack of care about getting oil on rugs, while working on cars. I'm sure my situation isn't the norm because my interior is all white cream, including the rugs. So first few times took it to the dealer to detail the oil stains. The last visit will be final visit. The mechanical service appeared fine. They did a service B, replaced the auxiliary battery and replaced the emergency brake that was getting stuck. While handling above items I get a call back brakes also needed. Major problem with the last visit is two fold: #1) There were 2 other women in the shop when I came in and it just seemed odd (not impossible, but suspect) that all 3 of us were told we needed new brakes. I don't know about the other drivers, but I don't drive my car that much and it's regularly getting serviced. This made me say,'Humm, not sure". #2) The following week I took my car in for the Dmv smog. I've never had any problems with the car or the smog process. This time was different. They couldn't run the diagnostic because the cable part wasn't where it was supposed to be. This led another shop showing me a few areas that were not secure and it of alignment. After returning to DAS.. they addressed the areas that were related to their repairs. It really should have been handled with the work done. One area was a large screw under the steering wheel. I really hadn't notified the screw which was half in and half out, but I had noticed the car sadly driving as smoothly as normal. After securing as it should have been originally... the car is now back to the normal smooth handling. At the end of the day, sloppy workmanship on a $2,000 job. And those were just items I could see, which impeded the smog. Not Impressed... read more

Fantastic, polite, professional mechanics! They have my business as long as I live and drive in the Bay Area. I've been bringing my Honda civic for basic maintenance like oil changes and brakes for about 4+ years now and I've never had concerns or complaints. The prices are fair and they communicate very transparently about the state of your car. read more

I am so happy that I came across such an amazing local mechanic shop. I was very impressed from the very initial messages between Quan and I, as he was very responsive, all the way through my drive home from getting my car repaired here. I came in to get my brakes fixed after being quoted an amazing price, and this shop was very straightforward, did not try to push extra services. I went in around 8:30AM, without an appointment, and my car was finished within 2 hours. I left with a plan to a return for future services that my car will need. My partner who accompanied me also said that she will bring her own car here whenever the time for service happens! read more

DAS does it right! Been here several times in past 12 months since I needed a new shop. The staff is friendly, professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. My vehicle has received a range of repairs from common to the very uncommon. Their pricing is fair (subjective, of course). They are very accommodating; performing repairs asap. They saved me a lot of headaches with their ability to quickly diagnose the problem, order the necessary parts, and perform repairs. I am very appreciative of the people and their services. Support this business. It's a gem. read more

Like many of the other reviews have stated, this place is fast, has good prices, and does quality work. The mechanics are knowledgeable and the shop runs an honest business. I was in and out the shop on time with the work I requested done. read more

I've been coming to this place for many years now, since when they were located at the gas station up the street. I never had an issue, prices have always been fair and service was always what/ how it should be. One thing many people are skeptical about is when shops tell them about "things to do in the car" and they feel it could be made up. I never had this problem here! As a matter of fact, every time I've been there and they recommended something, it was stuff that I already knew that I had to take care of (for example brakes needing to be changed etc). I had always recommended them and the last time I did my neighboor replied back to me later thanking me for the recommendation. Keep it up guys! read more

came here for a oil change and routine maintenance and couldn't be happier. Very smooth and seamless process. Competitively priced so you know you will have excellent value here. Began coming here years ago after getting ripped off in service pricing at the toyota dealership. Come here and you won't regret it, knowing your car will keep running for decades read more

This is the 10/10 service I've been waiting for! From booking the appointment, to check-in, and check-out, the service was smooth and easily understandable. About 30 minutes after check-in, I received a call with the estimate for the day and what would be done. I requested a thermostat change and coolant flush, which was doable, and the mechanic recommended a transmission fluid change as well. They explained exactly why this was needed specifically for my car, something no mechanic has done for me before without asking. The pricing was more than reasonable and very affordable. I agreed to the services and was informed to come collect my car about 4 hours after that call. Previously, I had gone to a mechanic I thought would have my best interest in mind because they were a referral from my partner's family that had been using them for 10+ years. Unfortunately, this was not the case and I felt scammed by them from multiple visits looking back. I was quoted nearly double the price of what I paid at Das, for the same thermostat change and coolant flush as well as an oil change. I got the oil change done somewhere else but was pleasantly surprised with Das' prices due to the previous quote. I will 100% be coming back to Das for further car needs. Thanks guys! read more

The breaks on my Acura were making a grinding noise for some time, but I didn't notice this, because the ELS stereo is usually blaring. One day, I heard the sound and knew the breaks needed service. I went on Yelp, looked around for a local shop, and found DAS Auto Service. It's an extremely well run business. I peeked into the garage, and it's so clean and organized, you could eat off the floor. I know other people who got screwed on break service, paying $1200+ for back break pads and rotors. These guys did it for $425. Not only was the price right, but they did the work quickly. I brought my car in at 1pm and was home by 3:30. These guys have my patronage for as long as I live in Daly City. They don't do everything, but they do a lot more than you'd expect. read more

Needed to find a reliable shop in the area, and was impressed with DAS's Yelp reviews. Quan and his team definitely lived up to the feedback. They delivered top-notch work as quoted--at very reasonable prices. Will definitely be back to keep my jalopy running. read more
