$65 for a synthetic oil change can't beat that. Great value Got here at 8:20am Monday and was seen at 8:27am . Service done at 9:20am There was only one car in front of me when I arrived. Staff men were nice and moved with a sense of urgency. Con: There is no waiting area you just gotta stand around the front and wait until your car is done being serviced. For ONLY $65 I have no complaints. Just make sure you got early in the morning on a weekday for faster service. read more

I would like to give a huge "THANK YOU" to Henry the Shop Manager, and acknowledge him for his outstanding work, he is such an amazing hard worker that recently worked in my Q5 Audi and after doing all the repairs in the front tires and replaced them with brand new rotors the car now runs like a smooth brand new Audi thank you so much Henry!!! read more

I had to get my Honda Accord emissions fixed so I looked on Yelp for reviews. This place is super close to the house so I decided to bring this into the shop so they can take a look at it. The reviews look stellar 4.5/5 so I didn't think it would be an issue. I pulled up to the shop in the morning. Told the owner that I had an issue with the emissions monitors (o2 and catalytic sensors) not getting into ready mode. He said you just need to drive it more. But I already drove it a lot! Over 300 miles since I first discovered this issue (changed the battery back in April and the computer hasn't registered a pass since). Anyway I told him I thought something was off about it and he sent one of his techs to plug the scanner into the OBDII port. Sure enough, nothing was wrong. He suggested the drive cycle for the vehicle, driving 55 mph, cruise control, etc etc. I said but I tried that! The owner comes back and says okay leave the car here and I'll do the drive test for you. The cost is $150. So I then asked, what if you don't figure out the issue? He said, it's still going to be $150. How much for a smog check? $70, then he walks away and starts working on something else. I'm not about to build rapport as others have mentioned here. The shop is so busy that they have bigger fish to fry and couldn't be bothered to look at the issue. It was right then that I decided maybe I should go somewhere else and get a second opinion. Off to Portola Auto Service I went and I actually got a really nice and honest shop that knew exactly the deal. Not only that, he has earned a new customer as a result. Edit: Henry did reach out via messaging with an apology which I accepted. read more

My biggest fear is bringing my car to the shops not knowing if the mechanics or workers are sexist, rude, or mark up prices because they assume women don't know anything about cars. But this place is THE BEST. They're always so willing to help and they don't talk down to women!! Prices are affordable and wait times vary. I usually go early in the morning right before they open and it will take an hour which I'm always happy to wait. I've gone in the afternoon before and it gets really busy so be aware. I love this place and I always drive off super happy. Highly recommend!!! ** note: they are now open on Saturday's but from 8am-1pm. ** read more

Henry, the owner made me a priority with just an hour or 2 notice. He was so nice snd professional. Price was very attractive. Very happy to pay for his expertise and time. His work saved me a lot of money on a catalytic converter. He found the real cause of my problem whereas my old mechanic was going to charge me for a catalytic converter that I actually didn't need. Thanks Henry. read more

Don't come here. I arrived here first for service. They provided service to others who came after me. I suspect racism.

Terrible service. I got ignored multiple times when I was trying to ask questions. Got an estimate of 20 minutes, came back 30 minutes later and they hadn't even started. AVOID THIS PLACE! read more

Worst Service EVER!! Can I give them a -10 Came in to have my tier repaired only to be given the run around & over looked so the mechanics could help other customers that just pulled up after I've I'll already been waiting 40 min.. he kept looking over at me walked around my car called my Kid a "Gwylo" (excuse my spelling) Which Means White person! After this he went back in the shop & got on the phone... When I decided to take my business elsewhere He laughed at me as I started my car to Leave. My Family has been in the neighborhood for 50+ years & Ive never been so disrespected. Had my husband been the one to bring the car in he would of done it in a heart beat, So I guess if your a man you'll get help ,!But good luck to you Ladies, head down to SunRise auto he has no problem working on your car! read more

I brought in two cars - one for an oil change and one for a smog check. The service was fast and modestly priced. Will use again.

Like everyone else says: fast, friendly and fair. I'd like to add that they even enlightened me about the option to renew via AAA that I wasn't aware of. read more

Had my 2009 Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery replaced here. Reasonable price. Herry is very loyal to his customers he just a great guy great work! read more

Things are pretty hectic and I totally forgot that I needed a smog check before I could register my car. I yelped what was nearby and found this place. Took my chances and drove over without an appointment. Luck would have it that they could fit me in without much wait. And before I knew it I was all done. I really appreciated them coming through in a pinch and I wish I didn't put it off so long. Will definitely come back next time I need a smog check. read more

Every time I have needed service or repairs they have done a great job and I didn't have to wait for days at a time. The prices were always competitive and service was great. read more

Fast, Friendly, Flexible and Fair. I Feel Fantastic and that's Fine. That's a lot of Fs, but the good kind. The Five star kind. I'll be back for these fine fellas next time I find I need some fixin. read more

Stopped by for a minor repair. fixed it on the spot with no waiting. Decent prices.

This repair shop is part of the Shell Gas Station on the corner of San Bruno Ave and Silver Ave. I arrived at about 8:45am for a smog check and was initially discouraged to see a lot of cars scattered around the two service bays. But I was greeted politely by a service technician as I arrived, and was told to pull up behind another person who was in line for a smog check too. As luck would have it, the customer in front of me was dropping off their vehicle, so I was next! I got a quote, and a 10 minute lead time. Henry was super busy scurrying around checking on other cars and fielding phone calls but always remained professional and polite. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Superb. read more

my bi-annual visit for my smog check went pretty well. looks like the shop performs serious maintenance here. There was an engine on a crate ready to be installed in a car. always great service. read more

Great service and always help on fixing tough issues. Highly recommend to anyone if your car has any problems.

I came here on a recommendation of a family friend who has been coming here for years. Ed is very personable, responds quickly to any and all calls, and is extremely reasonable for the quality work being done. My old mechanic retired, and I'm glad I took the advice of my family friend. He just did my 75K on my Toyota, and I will continue to go to him with my other car as well. read more

Great place for a reasonable priced smog check! Needed to smog my 1989 Volvo to sell it, and most shops were closed. I am glad that I found this place and the mechanics were prompt, professional and got the job done for $60. Perfect! I highly recommend them and thank them for the good experience! read more

Ladies go HERE!! These guys are honest, knowledgeable and helpful. After my oil change I was trying to change my 2nd headlight bulb after changing the other already and one of the guys came over to help me so he could learn how it's done on my car. Mechanics using treat women like we are clueless and talk over us. Not here!! They have always treated me with respect and for him to ask me to show him how to do something shows me they are also humble. These guys are MOM APPOVED!!! read more

Thank you GGAS, great customer service! I was seen not too long after I arrived and it was very affordable with nice guys that tested things out with me. Also, I always end up talking to someone else waiting for their car and it's a nice vibe. read more

Left my car with them and they told me it would be done by the afternoon. They didn't communicate with me until I called them and then it wasn't done until the next day. Now it has more problems than before and they were super rude to me to top it off. DO NOT GO HERE. They charged me so much just for my car to be worse off than before! read more

Been here half a dozen times for repairing flat tires and smog checks. Despite the place always seeming very busy and me not having an appointment, I've always had very fast service. read more

Fast, friendly service and economical to get my Honda smogged. Highest recommendations. read more

Don't come here for a tire. Worst experience ever. Nice people but take way too long. 2 hours for one tire change.

Henry does excellent customer service at this place! I was driving on 101 and got a piece of plastic around a tire beginning dandling and scratching the road. I had no time to replace the whole plastic thing around the tire.. and was confused and nervous about the noise that it was making. I stopped my car by the first repair place at the road. I am lucky that it was this car repair station - I saw all the guys working hard while that station was packed with cars waiting attention at that Saturday morning. Henry came over, examined the problematic tire and immediately helped - with a drill and a few self-sealed plastic treads he fixed the dandling peace immediately. And he refused to take money for that! I wanted to pay with my a card as I did not have cash with me but he did not take payment! This review is a way to say thanks to these honest and hardworking guys! read more

Golden Gate Auto Service - Henry is working on the tire of my car. He is fast honest and does great service! - Auto Repair Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great prices, guys come off as very nice. However be prepared to build rapport with the guys here. This is my 3rd or 4th time changing a tire here. I am not a small talker. I am not the type to build a relationship with strangers, especially mechanics who I have bad experiences with in the past. I'll come in, expect people to do their jobs, I pay and say thank you, and then Im out. I also only speak English and I do not want to force the mechanics to speak a language they are not proficient at. This time around I dropped off my car at 1. I told them I will be back to later. I show up at 4. My car was parked across the street. I went to check if my car is done. It wasn't started, no big deal here as they seem to be busy. However upon looking around my car I discovered that the person who drove it there scratched my rim on the sidewalk. Red flag already, I drive a 16 Lexus with nice rims btw. I go back to sit on the chair in front of the shop to let them know that I'm here and waiting. They made the effort to not work on my car even though I was before everyone else. One mechanic even mugged at me as he walked past me as I was sitting. Like bro Idgaf just do your job..... I don't small talk. I was the last car out that day and they had me wait for 1+ hour. It was 6pm but shop closes at 5:30pm Again all of this because I am not a small talker. Beware. Overall I would recommend this place just because of price and location. However if you frequent here be prepare to build rapport or they will give you the short end of the stick. I do not believe I will be here again unless I need some same day work done. read more

Henry is the best mechanical in town! He is fair in his prices! He always changes the oil in my car, regular maintenance, and smog check. I'm so happy I find an honest mechanic. read more

I got a Smog Check here - they had the best price (I got the $36.75 Yelp deal) and the service was fast and friendly! I was in and out within 15 minutes. read more

If you don't mind waiting while they repair 4 or 5 cars while your car is waiting to be tended to then this is your place. Cost was twice what others in San Francisco are charging. When I mentioned my surprise at the $80 they told me that it was usually $99. My fault, I didn't ask price when I went in. An hour and 45 minutes for a 15 minute smog test. Might have been longer if I hadn't reminded them that I had been there for some time. Would I go there again? I don't think so. read more

Gotten smog here two times, fast good and nice service with honest pricing. Highly recommend these guys!

Just a quick visit, a smog test. Henry and his technicians are always polite and ready to help. Always good to know there are reliable service stations in the area. read more

First and foremost, they had a check-in deal which may or may not be available leaving the price to 45 with smog certificate included. The station is close to the freeway attached to a Shell gas in the Portola. The station is STAR Certified which is a must for those who've had to use for their smog test. The lot may look a little packed but they will usually take around 10-20 min for the whole test which is awesome. Super fast, will come again if needed for a STAR smog check!!! read more

$45 out the door for Smog and DMV very. Fast and friendly service. In and out in 15 minutes. Can't ask for more.

Great place to go! Just went to get my car smogged. It took a while for the 1999 and older cars but luckily my car was newer than 2000 so the process went by faster. Plug in the OBD, let the car idle, and presto! Would come here again for the biannual inspection! ---Look for coupons for this place! (My inspection cost a total of $38 including the certificate) read more

Service is a bit slow but needed to get done 50 dollars it been an 30 min. There were car there. It seems like they were working on like 5 car but only one ahead of me for smog. I think there is only one person working smog but not sure I stood there for 15 min and I felt ignored. The mechanic kept walking by but non said anything finally I asked how long should the smog take and he said oh u r next and pointed to a guy letting him know. After that it was another 15 min and I was done. I saw a few car the parked looked around expecting some service but after sitting there for 5 mins they drove off read more

Golden Gate Auto Service - Service a bit slow but needed to get done - Auto Repair Near Me - San Francisco, California

Smog test was super easy and fast: I didn't wait more than 10 min. It was also very affordable since I could use Yelp coupon for a rate of $45 including printed certificate of test. Staff was kind and professional. I would highly recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Same folks as over on Irving/19th, just a new shop (since the old one has been razed/built new with a carwash instead). Nice folks, they ask where you heard of them - if you say Yelp or "I went to you before on 19th" or "your website" etc, they give you "special deal", which is the same price for smog+certificate that I paid 2 years ago (had to check my previous yelp review to see what I paid). Ok, well this time was $50, instead of $49.95, but it's basically the same. I drove up on Friday at 445pm, and they were done before 5pm. It's just down the street from Fresh & Easy, so my 13 minute grocery store visit, was apparently longer than it takes to smog my car. read more

Henry got me in for a smog check so quickly and easily that I dusted off my old Yelp account just for this review. It was quick, painless, and super easy. Highly recommended for smog checks! read more
