I needed wheel alignment so looked at local reviews and Pak Auto was rated HIGH! I called, made an appointment for a few days later. When I pulled up, they took me in right away and said it'd be 40-60 minutes and they can call me. Did some shopping nearby and they called to say the car was ready. They do all kinds of auto repair and even do Smog checks. The place is clean. They guys are great. The prices are competitive. I RECOMMEND THIS SMALL BUSINESS! read more

These guys have taken exceptional care of two of my cars. They are fast and reliable. It's great to have auto people you can trust. I highly recommend! read more

I bought a used 2008 Scion xD and it turned out to have quite a few problems. The pros at Pak Auto did a thorough inspection, found the problems and then came up with a cheaper more optimal solution to fix the problems that saved me more than $1K. They were professional, easy to deal with and even took some videos of the issues they found and sent them to me at home and were patient and explained everything to me. The car runs like a charm now. I highly recommend them. read more

I went in to Pak auto services years ago for an oil change but because of their excellent service and ability to fit me in, I have been bringing my car to them whenever something comes up. Whether it's my car not starting or a funny sound. They have been able to diagnose and fix the problem. Five stars is an understatement. read more

Came in for a brake light inspection for my motocycle. I was in and out and less than 1 hour. $125 bucks but it's one of the only places in town where you can get the service done at and just walk in without an appt. read more

I went to these guys after needing my car towed on a spur of the moment after work for a repair. Even though it was near closing time for them, they were able to offer superior help for me to get me running well again. I've been back since for other work, and I think these guys have great value. read more

Bought my car in for an diagnostic check because a light was on and the guys took a look. Turned out there was nothing wrong and they didn't even charge me for looking at it for an hour. Will return! read more

Have been here many times, they always do great work. They tend to be a bit more affordable than other shops in the city limits. Their vehicle inspection service has been better than other mechanics I have been to, very thorough. Great shop! read more

Needed my window fixed on a Saturday and was pressed for time to get downtown for a movie with friends. They let me drop off my car and took me downtown. By the time the movie was over, my window was as good as new. read more

Great, honest, reliable, affordable and fast. Been going to Pak Auto Service religiously last couple of weeks and they have never disappointed and are very friendly read more

Got my Subaru STi aligned here and customer service was great. They even had a laptop for customers to go online with while waiting for their cars. Very professional and courteous, not to mention, with the final price being $75 for a 4 wheel alignment and tire rotation, they were the best price in the city. Will definitely do business again and recommend to my friends. Thanks guys. read more

I'm sitting here in the little office of Pak's auto service as I write this review. I also created an Yelp account just now so that I am able to write this review. The service here is commendable and knowledge is excellent. I called them today last minute to schedule and alignment because I'm driving to Vegas in about 12 hours. They gave me a quote and time to come in and greeted me at the door as i arrived. I'm a bit ashamed to say I don't know the name of the guy I talked with (although I can look outside and ask him, it would probably be a bit awkward) but I really liked the fact that they knew what they were doing and proceeded to explain to me the problems I had (which I was aware of coming in.) My favorite part is how they don't try to hard sell anything but simply explained what was wrong and giving you options to fix it or leave it. Most auto shops i've been to try to sell me anything they can while telling me that I'm basically the luckiest guy in the world for having survived this long while still driving my broken vehicle. So all in all this was quite a refreshing experience, making me wish the rest of the world would follow suit and learn how a correct business should be run; knowledgeable, friendly, and fair. I will most definitely be coming here if I run into any car problems in the future. PS: Did i mention they have a laptop and TV for you to pass the time while you wait? Awesome. Lifesaver for me since apparently I left my kindle somewhere else than my car. read more

Words cannot describe the professionalism of these people. Almost every mechanic I have gone to has tried to find multiple errors, over amplifying my problems as if my car will explode if I do not get their service at their over priced cost. However, at Pak Auto Service, I did not get this type of treatment at all. I walked in with my guard up, assuming that I would have to hear a bunch of technical jargon and end up being told that I would have to pay through the roof, but instead I received excellent service. These are some really honest people. In spite of them newly opening their business, and being swamped with business, they still took the time to explain to me thoroughly everything that was wrong with my car. They did not do so to scare me for their service, but instead did so to educate me, and to inform me that I should keep these things in mind for the future. I would like to thank them for their service, and inform them that they have definitely secured my future business as they are truly good, hard-working people. read more

This family run shop hooked it up with honest and pain-free service for my car. Explained everything that I needed and what I didn't need. They let me know what they were going to be doing and did it quickly. They even let me store my scooter there for several days, offering to drive it back to me if needed. Awesome! read more

These guys earned every star. I hit some debris on the freeway and my front tires were all snaggletoothed. They got me in the same day I called and were able to get them back into almost perfect alignment. They charged me a ridiculously low amount for the time they put in. I also got a $25 complete oil change. I have dealt with so many shops that I know good, honest work when I see it. These guys are the bomb in SF! read more

Gave me an honest price and repaired my car quickly. Very friendly. Prices are by the book. I keep my eye out for car repair shops who I can trust to be honest with me and not attempt to take advantage of me. I have been to Pak Auto Service two different times since they opened. They are affiliated with Payless Towing, which also gives an honest price and are honest about how soon they can arrive to tow a car. read more

Back in August I had to bring my car in when it was having engine problems. So why did I wait to write this review? Because the car works so well I forgot I even had problems in the first place! I drove in, there was only one person there (Mo) but he took time to try to figure out what was wrong before I left so we both could have an idea on how long a repair would take. Two days later my car was fixed and it didn't cost very much! He took the time to show and explain to me what was wrong and what was repaired. I am definitely going to bring my car back here in the future if I have any other problems and highly recommend you do too! read more

Excellent service, friendly, and great price! I took my car to other places and it had a problem which they could not figure out, but when I took it here the gentleman figured it out within minutes. And he is young, I took the car to other senior mechanics who were confused while he was quick and productive. Thanks! Definitely a regular here when it comes to getting my car maintained. read more

Everybody knows that most mechanics are crooks. I have been burned by a few different dishonest mechanics in the city. So I will give these guys (this place is run by two brothers in their mid-late 20's) the ultimate compliment. These guys are honest mechanics. But not only honest, they are nice. A lot of mechanics make you feel like an idiot because you can't do their job. Not so with these guys. They are genuinely good guys. You are probably thinking, "That's nice and dandy but who wants an honest mechanic if they don't do good work?" Well, again, these guys are awesome. I've brought my car here 3 times. My mother in law has brought here a few times as well. The work is solid. I've always been amazed with not only the quality of the work but the turnover time. These guys are excellent. You may be able to tell that I recommend this place. If you car needs work and you want an honest mechanic, bring you car to Pak Auto. I guarantee that you won't regret it. read more

Went in for a oil change ($25) with tire rotation ($10) was in and out in 30 minutes, there's wifi in the office if you want to surf the internet while waiting, and rainbow grocery is across the street if you want to grab a bite. read more

Best place to take your car for honest great work. I've taken my Mini, Prius, and BMW 2014 3 series.

I had my very first flat tire today, and after much fussing over who to call (upon discovery that I forgot to renew my AAA membership), I hopped on the internet and found Pak Auto Service. The high yelp reviews made me confident, and WOW. My experience with Pak was 300% faster and friendlier than my experiences with AAA. Everyone I spoke to, on the phone and in person was professional, polite, and made me feel comfortable. Though this was my first flat, I've dealt with car trouble before and this was by far the most painless and stress-free tow-truck encounter I've ever had. They never once pushed me to replace the tire, even though it's a bit old, and the repair was quick and effective. In the short time it took to service my car, the repairman left me with the impression that I could take my car to Pak at any time, for virtually any problem, and they'd give me great service. I'll definitely use them again, and recommend them to my friends. read more

I would give then a 1000 stars if I could. First off, great location, friendly and honest service, punctual and the best customer service I've ever had bar none. The first time I came here was because my battery died and these guys were the ONLY place that had their own tow truck. They came into our small garage, towed my car away, tried to save my dying battery and then recommended a new battery (A good recommendation considering my old battery could not hold a charge) The second time I came here was for a smog check and oil change. They were so nice, when they were done they drove my car back to my home. That's a pretty sweet deal when you're a pregnant lady with a toddler at home. I cannot recommend them enough. As others have mentioned, this is a small family run business that deals honestly and clearly (no crazy mechanic mumbo-jumbo). Support them! read more

Went there few days ago to get a second opinion to diagnose a ''Check Engine " light . The previous shop told me that i am looking at $ 600 plus for parts and 2-3 hours of labor in order to replace few faulty sensors. The guys at Pak Auto were extremely professional, knowledgeable and reasonable. The car was diagnosed with a small vacuum leak with no need to replace any of the sensors, the issue was taken care of quckly. I would like to thank Pak Auto for their honesty. They helped me to have a peace of mind and saved me lots of money . read more

these guys have made me come out of my shell and write a Yelp! review after ions. brought in a Subaru Outback 3.0 yesterday, after the engine belt snapped while driving in the Lower Haight. my main mechanic is based in O-town, and i didn't want to tow and waste an entire day heading over there. basically, reason being, the mechanic guy recently sold his shop, and the new proprietor, though a good guy isn't offering as good service, and has increased his "prices". i had new tires shipped in from Tire Rack couple of weeks ago, and he told me it will take him a week to install them! he also charged extra labor for replacing two bulbs that were out. my old mechanic would have covered that. this new guy kinda rubbed me the wrong way. you get the gist. if i show loyalty and give someone solid business especially when their new in business, i don't want them to nickel and dime me for everything. i digress. call my buddy to see if he knows a good mechanic in the city, and tells me says these cats are legit. look up Yelp! and it's a no brainer. slowly drive the car there, one of the owners comes out and greets me as i pull in. super nice, soft spoken and gentle energy about them. i like that in people. they pop open the hood, peek at the snapped belt. they can visually see the reason why that happened: one of the pulley is slightly bent. they get on phone, order genuine Subaru parts, give me a time and an estimate. come back a few hours later car is ready, and my estimate is WELL below what they quoted me. no hassle, no BS, straight shooters. can't stand mechanics who are slick talkers. go to these guys if you have car engine issues. my family and i will be taking our cars to them now on. on a side note: if hunger strikes, hop across to Rainbow Grocery, or walk 5 minutes to SoMa Street Food park, 11th @Division for yummy food truck options. read more

These guys are great. My 2007 Land Rover LR3 was pulling to the right and had a crooked steering wheel for several months. 4 alignments performed at 3 different service shops and Pak Auto got it straightened out! Customer service was awesome. I'll be back for future needs. read more

Let me just start off with; These guys know exactly what they are doing! I have been to many mechanic and repair shops before and these guys wipe them off the board. They not only told me what was wrong with my car exactly, the also asked for a reasonable price compared to the many others! Also receiving many discounts through their website! They also have their own tow service which is a huge plus! Definitely recommend these guys! read more

Had such a surprisingly great, yet simple, thing happen to me this weekend. I dropped my daughter off at an hour-long dance class and headed for Rainbow Market ... saw Pak Auto Service next door and dropped in to see if they could deal with my two faulty headlights (which I'd failed to fix on my own, even breaking the assembly on one, leaving them both broken for a month). They took the job and said they'd have it done while I shopped for about $70 ... and forty minutes later, I had all my groceries, and they'd fixed the car for the price they said. Totally made my weekend. Thank you Mubasher Choudhery and Pak Auto Service for helping me realize car repair can be friendly, fast, convenient, and honest. What a surprise read more

I love PaK auto service! Best customer service I have pretty much ever had. They are incredibly accommodating to my busy schedule and always work around and with me to make sure I'm able to pick up my car even after their work hours. I have had multiple things go wrong with my car in the last few months and every time I bring it here they always make my experience extremely enjoyable and go in depth about what needs to happen. I highly recommend them to fix up your car, especially if you're looking for a place that is fast, efficient and friendly. read more

PAX Auto Service did such a great job with my car after an aggressive taxi driver banged it up. They were so nice and made it look like new again, perfectly matching the paint and everything. They are my new Go-To-Place for anything related to my car! Thank You PAX Auto Service!! read more

I brought my 1999 Honda Prelude here in for a valve adjustment a few weeks back. They were very friendly and helpful and they do not try to sell on other services that you do not need. Pak Auto will be the shop that I go to for auto related work because I trust them. read more

Got my Costco tires installed and aligned here. Then went back to get a basic service done. Aside from haggling over the Yelp coupon (which they honored), no problems. I would recommend this place. read more

On March 19, 2012, I brought my VW that I knew was leaking automatic steering fluid very slowly. Mudasser Choudhery the owner of Pak Auto Service helped me. They put the car on a rack, detected the leak and changed a clamp. He charged me a nominal amount. I highly recommend him for his honesty and fairness. read more

I recently took my car to Pak to have the front end aligned, an inexpensive item. The car was pulling to the right. They tried to align it and charged me for one alignment. They told me they couldn't align it because the vehicle needed the steering replaced as well as the radius arm and sway bar bushings, at a cost of $1400.00. Pak and I had a misunderstanding. The items they wanted to replace probably need to be replaced. The car is old, a 1982 Datsun 280Z and the ride is far from smooth. But I wasn't looking to to restore the car when I brought it in. I simply wanted the alignment corrected. I took the car to my usual mechanic (who doesn't do alignments). He replaced one sway bar bushing and took it to his alignment shop where it was successfully aligned for all for a total cost of $200. read more

Went in today for a simple Fill of my transfer case fluid...nothing more, nothing less. All that was needed was take out the fill nut, fill the hole with transfer case fluid, tighten the fill hole back...done and simple right? 1st the guy tried telling me there was no fill plug. My mechanic already showed me the full plug...plus it's all over the internet of how to do it...then when I showed him there was a fill hole he said it's going to be at least $85! My jaw hit the floor hard! $85 to fill the transfer case. I'm not asking to diagnose anything or to fix anything, hell I would even do it myself if i had the tools. $40 is reasonable but definitely not $85!. I cant speak of their workmanship but at those prices they better be servicing something else too! read more

They inspected my car i got from a bullshit program called breeze. don't do breeze guys. but other than that this shop is so chill and comfortable and fast!!! read more
