I have taken multiple vehicles of mine here and no matter what type of car they are extremely knowledgeable with whatever technology is used. Pricing is more than reasonable and they are totally honest and transparent. Not one time did they try and sell me anything I didn't really need and would always work with my budget and repair my vehicles at the lowest cost while still performing high quality repairs. read more

I did a few oil changes and tire rotations with Hayden Autocare, the workers who did the tire rotation messed up my wheel lock key. I ended up changing the wheel lock and they messed it up again! I stopped going back to them. If you get a tire rotation from this auto shop, make sure you take a photo of your wheel lock before they operate on your car. read more

I can't recommend Hayden Auto Care enough, they've worked on my car multiple times and are always quick, thorough, and communicative. As a young girl I've never felt taken advantage of, and they explain everything thoroughly and are super knowledgeable! I've also compared prices for multiple repairs and they win every time! read more

This shop told me they could work on my 95 GMC Safari but obviously didn't want to. Happy to take my money reluctant to fix my car. Lied to me about changing my spark plugs didn't touch em they even showed me plugs from somebody else car but when I went home and changed em myself the scam up. Lied to me about the car not having any issues meanwhile it was stalling in the lot. The owner kept taking phone calls to avoid talking to me, they hosed me for 400$ and told me I don't know what's wrong with it "drive it until the engine blows up the well fix that part". Don't go here. read more

10 stars! I tried to call to see if I needed an appointment for an oil change but nope! (No, the phone wasn't working and no, you don't need an appointment for an oil change) Ping very kindly replied to an email I sent, and in I went the next day. I forgot to check my email so it was pretty close to closing..like 3:50 by the time I got there. Whoops! But they (uhoh I don't know the guy's name who changed the oil) jumped on it, changed my oil incredibly quickly, and only charged me $60 for that. NICE! They also noticed my tire light was on and first added air, but also noticed it was down to 21 PSI, which is kind of drastic (supposed to be around 32). So they looked for a leak and found a screw in my tire. My NEW tire. Luckily, it wasn't near the sidewall so they could patch it, which they also did super quickly, for $20. Hell.yeah. That could have been a. dangerous b. a giant pain in the butt to figure out at a later time and have to take it somewhere and wait and hassle and ugh. I mean, they also could have told me it wasn't patchable and I wouldn't have known, so I am very grateful for Ping's honesty! And amazing service. They were super thorough, even at 4:15/4:30 pm on a Saturday, when they could have been watching the Olympics! Also Ping was just a nice guy. I will definitely be returning for whatever else my car needs. read more

Hayden Auto Care is my go-to auto shop in the neighborhood. Ping and his staff do an amazing job providing quality work at a reasonable cost. My routine maintenance is performed here without any aggressive up sales on services I don't need. It's honestly a nice break from the dealership experience where they look to overcharge you for every little thing. I highly recommend this shop for anyone that is looking for an honest shop in the neighborhood. I feel blessed that this shop is just a couple blocks from my house. I drop off my car and walk home without that hassle of waiting in a lobby somewhere. read more

This place is awesome! Owner is a pretty down to earth and understanding guy. The service they provide is awesome and they won't charge you an arm and a leg for it. If you're tired of getting ripped off from the dealerships, I'd give these guys a shot. They do take their time and it's not a quick in and out. But they provide phenomenal quality and service. 10/10 stars. I will definitely come back to these guys again! read more

I was towed to the shop by AAA for a flat tire on 05/04/24. Fast, friendly, and affordable service. My toddler was really upset and the nice man in the office gave him a little lollipop. Many thanks to Hayden Auto Care. Saved our day and got us back on the road in less than one hour! read more

Hayden Auto care is very busy, but very thorough when repairing your car. They take the time to check for problems and let you know before you leave additional work that may need to be done which is very important. They were very kind and professional and I would recommend them for oil change. I plan to return for additional services needed. Will follow up at that point. read more

I went to Hayden Auto Care and the owner was the guy who helped me out. I haven't written a review in years, but I felt compelled to write one for this business. I felt well cared for and not taken advantage of. Being taken advantage of at a car shop is something a lot of women fear. Luckily Hayden's explained everything to me and didn't make me feel like he was just trying to come up on $. I will definitely be back when I need servicing. This business has earned my trust and my future business. Thank you!! read more

Highly recommend Ping and team. They take care of all of my family member's cars. Thorough and honest.

Amazing staff, very efficient. Highly recommended. Making sure everything was taking care of.

I brought my car in this morning for tire rotation which is cost $20. When the mechanic removed the tires. He found out the front brake pads was low has 5-10% left. I got a quote from Ping change all brake pads, resurfaced brake disc rotors, and tire rotator all for $390. That was reasonable price! They did a good job. I highly recommend this auto shop. I've been to Hayden shop for a couple times but it was mostly picked up my UPS packages. It was my first time brought my car here for service. I'm happy with the service. read more

Hayden Auto Care - Brake disc rotor resurfaced! Nice and clean. - Auto Repair Near Me - San Francisco, California

Ping and his team are the absolute best! He is professional, thorough, honest and his prices are REASONABLE! I was referred to him by an old SFSU colleague after another mechanic recommended that I replace my entire front end with an estimate of over $5000. Ping was thorough and spoke to my brother (who fixes his own cars in LA) on the phone and provided his recommendations and it turned out that I did not need to replace the front end (needed new tires, alignment, brakes). I recently had an emergency on a late Saturday evening en route from SF to LA and I was surprised when Ping responded to my call! They have also squeezed me in on very short notice on several occasions and the service is always great. This is the best shop in SF hands down. I highly recommend!! read more

The best place and ONLY PLACE I take my cars! Ever since I came to the Bay Area since 2017 this is the only place I bring or recommend for automobile services/ repairs! read more

Great. I showed up on a Saturday just as they opened and they were able to put the car up within 5 minutes for an oil change. I only spent 25 minutes at the garage, which still included a free inspection. Easy, friendly, fast. Would recommend. read more

Called for an oil change at 2:30pm, the owner answered quickly and told me to come by at 3 when it would be less busy. I was out by 3:30. Couldn't have asked for better service. Responsive, fast, and reliable. Check all 3. Thank you Ping and the team! read more

This is the most honest, efficient, knowledgeable mechanic ever I have problem with my car and he was able to detect it right away. He doesn't take advantage with you and he explains everything to detail that you will understand the process and what to expect . If there is more than a 5 star I will give him a perfect 10 stars read more

Recommended by one guy. Ran into another guy there. This shop has the respect of car guys, btw good guys. I got the rear brake pads and sensors done on my BMW yesterday. Many shops rape German car owners, and I don't fuck with that, but these guys are reasonable. Default for parts is after-market, but I'm fine with that for something like brake pads and sensors. There's a slight squeak on one side, still, but I did let the pads go a bit last time and opted to not replace the rotors, which are still safe. No grinding. Brakes work well. I appreciate that they didn't pressure me to get anything else done. My dash is currently lit up like a Christmas tree, but I've got friends changing my oil and right low beam bulb within a week. This is my new local go-to for brakes, which, with how much I drive, need attention after just over a year. Ask for Ping. read more

Literally three blocks down the street. Ping is very knowledgeable, professional, and great to talk to for auto issues. It's not because this is the neighborhood mechanic but it's because it's QUALITY!! I would take that over quantity any day. Come by and check him out!!! read more

It's been over 7 years my mother in law recommended me Hayden auto care i have been with other mechanics I finally found somebody I can trust i will definitely recommend . read more

Great mechanic. they know their cars. The owner of this place is super. Their main mechanic short little Filipino guy is an amazing worker. read more

Relatively small job was accomplished on time while I waited and was done for the estimated price. No surprises. Excellent shop and hopefully I can avoid them in the future if my car behaves, but if you need auto work, I recommend coming here. read more

Brought in my Honda Odyssey twice to Hayden's recently for repair. They replaced a front right axle and an oxygen sensor bank 1 sensor 1. Both jobs were completed in a timely manner by competent mechanics. Ping is the owner/manager and runs his shop efficiently. He explains what parts are needed and the time it will take to complete each job. I recommend scheduling appointments in advance for work needed. They handle walk in appointments for oil changes, a small variety of small jobs and schedule future appointments for more laborious detailed work. Overall Hayden's is a well managed service center and is an asset to the neighborhood. read more

My car got some noisy issues for a while and getting worse. I found Hayden Auto care from Yelp due to the good reviews. After diagnosed my car & found out it's the wheel bearing causes the noise. By ordering the parts in the morning and fixed it late afternoon. So satisfied with the service cuz I'm relying on my car as a Uber driver. Thanks for fixing my vehicle within one day. The price is pretty transparent and reasonable. Would highly recommend. (Hint: It's better to make an appointment) read more

Ping - Prob the most honest and genuine businessman​ left in SF. My uncle referred my Dad (a Mercedez and Toyota). Then my Dad referred me (3 BMW's and a Lexus), my brother, and my sister (2 Toyota's). The rest was history, a legit family affair for 7 years - routine maintenance​ or big repair jobs, you name it and Ping and his crew have handled it. Seven years of accurate diagnostics, great workmanship, ​and prices that remind you of the San Francisco that once was. It's been fun to watch Ping's auto care business grow and the stream of additional customers walking in and out with smiles on their faces. Thank you, Ping. My family is grateful. read more

Very honest advises and fair pricing. Always explain each charges/pricing so you know what you are paying for.

Really responsive phone or text, great customer service, and these guys are real busy because they know what their doing. Can't really go wrong here. read more

Honest, good work. Very honest. Reasonable pricing and fees. They've done several jobs on my family's cars, one of whom is a persnickety car guy. Well, he's happy too! Ping, the manager there, is smart and knows his cars. He taught me what a leak-down test was, which is even better than a compression check! I'll keep using Hayden Auto Care as my future mechanics. read more

Met Ping when I walked over to pick up a UPS delivery (his shop doubles as a site when you've missed your package, which is super convenient). Took my car in to get some repairs done and the entire process was better than I could've ever imagined. Ping sent quick, relevant replies and even provided a video of some of the work my car needed. The guy is extremely knowledgeable, transparent, friendly, and he gets the job done without hassling you or wasting time. Can't recommend this place enough or speak more highly of the service. read more

Once again I am giving them a 5 star confirmation review. The guys are amazing - fast, efficient, affordable.

Ping has always been honest and recommends the best solutions when diagnosing a vehicle.
