worked with me to help fix what needed to be fixed in a professional & convenient matter

Prior to new ownership, we service our 2007 Lincoln Town car and 2018 Honda Civic regularly with Tamer's & his family. This is the only service establishment we trust. Tamer is a knowledgeable mechanic and had provided excellent services with honest quotes. We since added a third car for our family this year and is glad to know that this shop also has European expert mechanic. We can't wait to meet David, the new owner and staffs to continues to have our vehicles services here at this fine location in San Bruno. Brian Nguyen read more

Great service! I cannot recommend David and his team enough. They treated me with respect, answered my questions, and were fair and honest in prices. My car was fully serviced quicker than I expected. They replaced my brakes and rotars. Car drives and stop I'll definitely be returning for regular car maintenance and when there are mechanical issues. read more

These guys are great! I went to different mechanic previously who was supposed to fix my check engine light and they weren't able to. I posted my issue on yelp and David contacted me right away! He was very timely and responsive. They were able to diagnose the issue and give me a paper copy addressing the issues that the previous mechanic missed. If you have any car troubles I'd recommend checking this place out! read more

2000 Nissan Frontier VG33. Had clutch replaced Sept 2023. Charged $1966. Requested a full LUK clutch set and was never given an itemized receipt as requested. Clutch failed catastrophically at around 24,000 miles with the damper spring breaking off. Now facing a $1,350 repair bill. Found out they used a set I did not ask for. The PHT in the photo below refers to PowerTorque sold at O'Reilly's. Did not even throw in OEM as that's the standard protocol. SHOP PERFORMED UNPROFESSIONALLY. LOOK AT THE PICTURED BELOW AND RETHINK. read more

The shop provided quick and easy information regarding my wheel tire situation. Very responsive to inquiries and helpful in many ways, will be back for future services. Recommendable, 5 Stars here. read more

New owner David at Express is building the business with honest pricing and high quality work. Very thorough in his diagnostic review to avoid unnecessary And costly work. His crew very friendly and years of tech work , recommend give him a try to solve your car issues. read more

Tamer was so friendly and professional, really quickly helped me troubleshoot a difficult wiper problem I wasn't able to figure out on my own. Very grateful for the time he spent and will definitely be back next time when I have a bigger issue read more

Great staff, quality service, perfect communication. Took the time to explain both diagnostics and repair options in great detail, which made us confident in our decision. read more

I recently went in to get my oil changed along with my brakes and rotors, and I got a great deal. On top of that, the service was amazing--honest, professional, and very customer-focused. They performed a thorough inspection and made sure everything was in great shape. I highly recommend Express Auto Repair to anyone who needs work done on their car. read more

Am actually leaving a review for work that they did NOT do. I had a car that died while driving and when given the choice of nearby garages to send it to by my insurance roadside assist, I did a quick yelp search and I found this garage as a place to send the tow truck. And was extremely lucky that I did. I generally am pretty skeptical of folks in the auto repair industry, so to come across someone like David was really refreshing. I called him to let him know my issue and he said he would look at the car when he got in. The next day he gave me the bad news - engine seized and would need to be replaced. Instead of giving me a hard sell to get the work done, he was very straightforward in giving me my options, some market data and giving me information about the likely value of the car in different scenarios. I fact checked what he told me by going online and calling around and it all was legitimate. No pressure, no false promises. Just clear and responsive communication. In my situation, the result was that the repair was worth more than the car itself, and so I decided to donate the car and he was very understanding even though it meant less work for his shop. That kind of honest business dealing seems less and less common these days. Unfortunately I don't live near the shop, otherwise I would definitely be a regular customer of David and this shop. read more

Have been going here since I moved to San Bruno a few years ago and they've serviced every car I have owned since then! Any car, any manufacturer they always have been helpful with whatever I bring in. Family owned shop with great customer service, affordable prices and honest work. read more

Express Auto Repair has saved my car more times than I can count. I've got a salvage title and when i was going through all the DMV hassle, Express Auto helped me every step of the way. They fixed my spark plugs and cabin air filter, put on a part on the bumper, gave me brand new tires and breaks, at such an affordable and reasonable price. This family owned business is truly about helping the little people and caring for their customers more than anything. I've been to multiple shops in san bruno/sf area and this is the shop I will go to for the rest of my cars life. read more

I visited this shop a couple months back and the young owner mis-diagnosed my car's oil leak, claiming it was the oil pan. It took two visits to argue with him that the leak was still present, then he realized he had made a mistake and rather than correct it he claimed he could no longer work on my vehicle because of his lack of availability (claiming he went to school). I took my car to the dealer thereafter and they resolved it instantly - the oil pump gasket needed replacement and voilá - no more leak. I spent about $800 at this shop with zero satisfaction. I'm sure he can change oil and filters without a problem but the young owner is inexperienced and doesn't know detailed automotives! read more

Finally an auto shop that can fix a problem that my old mechanic could not. I was embarrassed to go back the third time, so decided to try somewhere new. Feeling bad leaving my old shop, but this is my new place. Friendly guy that explained my Subaru problem. I forget his name, but a young tall guy that was awesome. read more

I didn't want to give this hidden gem away to the world but here it is; this shop is second to none. All family business ran, Hani and his sons are professional as it can get. I brought in my Toyota Tacoma with a busted rack & pinion and even made a mess on their driveway - Hani took care of me same day, ordered parts and worked with me in getting the best options. Just recently I called in to get a car serviced for a brake change and Tamer was able to give me a precise quote, expected turn around time and set me up that same day. These guys are the best in the peninsula read more

Called the auto shop inquiring regular maintenance repair / check/ brakes etc. Owner let me know I needed to bring my car in to be assessed first to give an accurate quote. He was able to accommodate my availability and get me in within the next couple of days. He was really nice and straight forward and let me know all the services I was requesting may not even be necessary which is why he preferred to assess first. He also was able to answer some questions I wanted a second opinion on. Dropped my car off same day. Picked up. Affordable service. Kind owner. Would recommend and would come back in the future. Thanks again. read more

My experience over here was nothing less of excellence. They treated me with the most best customer service, and explained every process of the way and every step of the way and made me feel reassuring. I started stressed with this project and he made everything seem like it was a breeze even though I know it wasn't finished my car and a day which is unheard of and it was gone. He brought it back best service, hands-down go see tamer and he will take care of you and make sure your good every step of the way read more

We've been to this shop a couple times for 2 different cars & issues. Recently came for my breaks/rotors & will be back for my wheel bearings. Hani & Tamer have always been so kind, honest and quick with their turnaround. Family owned business - go support & get the best deals! We'll definitely be back. read more

First time customer and it won't be the last. My car wouldn't start and I didn't know what the problem was. I called Express Auto Repair, the owner answered. I explained what was happening and he immediately knew it was the starter. I was able to tow my car in the same day and was able to pick it up the next day. Great family business and reasonable prices! Definitely recommend! *If you see a negative or 1 star review it's because of the taqueria next door and parking. read more

Extremely happy with the quality of service provided by Hani, Andy and Rafael. I took a 35 year old Toyota pickup to them for the engine to be entirely rebuilt. As expected with these old engines, we were met with speed bumps along the way. They kept me up to date and in the loop through the entire process. The old girl is running stronger than ever and because express auto, she'll probably run another 35 years. You've gained a lifelong customer fellas. Thank you very much read more

I have been going to express auto repair for years and I have finally found the perfect mechanic and auto repair shop to go to. This shop is owned and operated by its owners and they actually do the work on the car and they take pride in their job and make sure they deliver the best quality work with the most reasonable price and turn around time. This place is a true gem and I am glad I have finally found my match. read more

I love Mr. Hani! He's truly been good to my family's cars! He takes good care of us.... I called on a Sat early afternoon inquiring about changing all the fan belts in the car....he said-sure come on in! I went, and he got my car in there right away....his staff even went to the Toyota dealership to personally pick up the part that was needed. I was just impressed that I was able to get in on the same day no more than 1.5 hours later. Thanks Mr. Hani! He's such a nice man! Maybe 1.5 years ago, my engine blew....totally my fault bc I stalled on getting the oil changed (when there was a leak) and the car was no more than 4 years old....he brought it back to life in no time when my dad took it to him. I was especially careful after that whole ordeal bc I didn't want it to happy again. There was still a short bit of a leak after that but we took it again to him in no time...and he fixed it. As long as Mr. Hani's in business, that's where my family is taking our cars! read more

This has been my Go-To mechanic for about 4 years now. Never had a bad experience, I'm young student with a full time job and they always take care of me and my car in a professional manner! Definitely someone you can trust! Thanks Hani for taking care of me & my 91 Toyota! read more

Andy and Hani Yaser are an amazing duo not only that this is a family business. Support your local businesses! Knowing you're able to help put food on their table and also keep their family business running. I came into this shop after receiving the worst service from Melody Toyota! Went in there waited 45 min with an appointment time and also arrived 25 min early to not even be acknowledged or assisted. But I digress. Moving on to this shop. They have been nothing but amazing from the beginning to the end. I went in there and I saw there were only 2 of them and I figured they might be busy with no lifts available for them to service my vehicle. But they came to the rescue got my vehicle serviced and in a prompt professional manner! Very caring and ensured everything was ok with the vehicle. Thank you again Andy and Hani! Will be coming back again for future services! read more

This is it! If you are anywhere around SF International Airport and need assistance with your vehicle, Express Auto Repair is the place to go.  Everything is aligned here: Knowledge, courtesy, friendly people, clean, and very important: an absolute fair approach when it comes to charges. Hani and Andy really knows what it takes to make sure every first-timer customer continue to comeback.  I leave in the East Bay and found this shop by accident, and now its my go-to place if I need anything done in any of my 2 cars (Mazda 5 and Lincoln Navigator, they are specialists on all brands). It's worth the drive from the East Bay because of the peace of mind they provide me each and every time I need help with my vehicles. I couldn't be happier. This place is friendly, fast, safe, and affordable! Simple as that! read more

I have taken several vehicles to the guys at Express, and every time I always feel like I'm getting honest answers to my questions and they don't try and push things on me that I don't need. They back their work and will get you taken care of quick! read more

First time customer. I stopped by this morning and Andy was able to change the oil in my car with a short wait. Andy was polite, efficient and price was reasonable. Appreciate the service and will return. read more

Ran into this place by accident but have been back 3 times since then. They are fair, experienced, and honest, AND timely. Good to-go place, or to get a second opinion. Jose read more

A friend introduced me to Express Auto Repair about a year ago, and I've been going there ever since. The owner, Hani, is very down to earth, and he gives me an honest and fair estimate. He has a lot of experience. He recently convinced me NOT to do my brakes yet - to save money. Repairs are done quickly and right. I highly recommend Express Auto Repair. read more

Great service for a great price! We've taken our car here 3 times now for our 1995 Honda - first in January to replace both front axles and front brake pads, then in February to replace a leaky radiator, and then last week to flush the brakes and clutch. Speedy service and jobs well-done. Thanks! read more

Fucking don't know how to fix car and so expensive they get me the old parts I never come back this place read more

Terribly rude. I'd never give them my business. A old man with glasses came out yelling and screaming at my for blocking the driveway bc he said his client was leaving. I have no problem moving but his demeanor was so unnecessary. Btw, no one even had to move... so he was just being a jerk for no reason. read more

Great persistence and skill in finding an elusive problem and resolving. Kept me in the loop throughout the process. Honest family owned business. Made me a loyal customer; I will repeat read more

Express auto is always very fast and precise with their work. Hani always makes sure I am taking care of and Andy is an automotive genius. They have fixed several of my cars for me and do routine maintenance on all of my cars. They did a transmission as clutch change for me and it ran like new. Very impressed with their service read more

Very rude! Talked to my girlfriend like she was an idiot. Will never go back there again. Misogynistic, condescending, and RUDE!

The last encounter Hani recommended, that we change the harmonic balancer, for about $1000. Since I was a little short of money, I decided to do it myself, with a help of a friend. It wasn't to hard, about 2 hours of work. But the surprise was that both, new and old parts looked identical. No sign of wear on the old one. I saved some money by DIY, but could save even more if I didn't do it at all. By the way, the noise was coming from low power steering pump. Good mechanic would check that. Now I wonder about the previous repairs. Well, they lost customer. read more

I went here last week to get a diagnosis on my car since my car was not running very good. We took it to hanni to get an diagnostic initially to find out the issue of the car we explained the symptoms of the car the jerking when starting the car and shifting in to reverse and going forward. We wanted to get a diagnostic. He told us that he was 99.9% sure what the problem was and said my car was having those symptoms because we needed a tune up I DID NOT MIND PAYING FOR THE diagnostic which was supposed to be $195 and I was ready to pay when coming in but since he said he was 99.9% sure was because i needed a tune uip we just did the repair since he was confident with the problem was. The below comment is false!! we explain the jerking of the car when reversing and going forward when starting the car and he said the he was 99.9% sure it was because we needed a tune up we decided to do the tune up NOT because I didn't want to pay but because he said he was sure what the problem was. I wanted to pay but since he said he was 99.9% sure the problem was we didn't and he offered tune up and oil change for a total of $390 initially I thought it was pricey but didn't mind because I knew that I'll be getting my car fixed. Since the owner had so much confidence of that was the issue we went ahead paid for service of tune up and oil change. After the repair I took the car home the next day my car was still jerking and having the same issues and explained to the owner we originally wanted a diagnostic and we paid for the tune up because he told us he was 99.9% what the problem was.. He said he cant undo the labor and pay us back so to to bring it back in and he would test drive it which initially I don't think he did. then he was telling me that my car needed a tune up anyways and I explained we were trying to find the MAJOR issue of the car and tune up was not the focus even if i needed it. Then he went on to say use sarcasm and said to me that he isn't God and since he isn't God he can't know what the problem was but tells me before he was 99.9% sure what the issue was. And I had higher expectations since he is a mechanic and should be expert in his field. After leaving my car with them The first day I left my car they were telling me car was running perfectly, and they didn't see anything wrong. I asked if they can try it out in the morning again, amd leave it another night and they called me the next day to say they finally experienced the symptoms I was telling them and said it was because my cars air sensor they called me back said cleaned out the part I had and told me that's what the problem was and they did it free of charge which I really appreciated. I went back home and tested my car again and left happy but they failed to fix the issue my car was still doing the same thing when I left. I appreciate them trying to fix it but I am dissaponted because I thought highly he knew what he was doing, but doesn't seem like it. I just took my losses and moved on. Will not be going back and I don't reccomend him. Also when having friend look under my hood since we are STILL trying to find the issue i noticed that he put blue colored wire in my engine and wasn't consistent with the rest. If you are reading this please do yourself a huge favor and look else where. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because they tried but I don't think they genuinely cared about fixing the issue and took their time. Below comment is false I did not mind because the owner stated he was 99.9% what the problem was already read more

Super rude people got try to talk to someone and they all act like they dont work there never coming back.

Hani and his son Andy always get the job done right! They also do it for a great price and they do it pretty dang fast. This past week I've had to bring my car in twice and it was ready to go the same day. I highly recommend his shop to anybody! 1/13/13 UPDATE: Still hands down the own shop I go to. I tried one other right down the street a couple of times but that was a waste of time and money. I have been bringing my cars here, and my moms, since 2008. My 99 Cadillac Seville was in this shop more times than I can count and it was always serviced properly. Finally I bought an 03 Audi A4 yesterday and brought it by this afternoon for an oil change, brought my own filter & oil, and a look over. Andy took care of the oil change on the house, since they were happy I'm not still driving the Caddy!! He also told me I have an oil leak and will sure enough be bringing it back to get that fixed! read more
