I have been coming to Oscar for my car issues for years now. 2016 Honda Civic still going strong because of this place; I loathe aux cordless cars. It is so worth the price and peace of mind, as someone with minimal car knowledge. I literally just called and told me to drop it off for an inspection for tomorrow morning. ALL HAIL OSCAR! AND THIS PLACE IS FAIRLY ACCESSIBLE! A TRUE SF GEM! read more

My car runs like a Swiss watch again thanks to Oscar. I have a 22 year old BMW and it's getting more difficult for him to find parts- but he does and my wallet is grateful. This old girl has only 66,700 miles. Oscar keeps my car running flawlessly; it's in tip-top shape. Don't just take my word for it- look at the newer Ford F-150s, Ferraris, Audis and Kias in his shop. He's always busy and his fees are reasonable. I won't forget when he recently kept the shop open for my car to get towed on a Thursday night. He waited almost 90 minutes. Schwerin Automotive has my loyalty! read more

I had a noise in my car that needed some looking into so I brought it to Schwerin Automotive. The team there is awesome, they are very honest and down to earth, I plan on coming back for all my automotive needs. I think their pricing is very fair and service was unmatched. read more

Owner mechanic gave me a long explanation and the high cost made me not want to keep my car.

They replaced my brakes and did a great job. Affordable and fast. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Oscar has taken care of my car for years. He is really good, efficient and reasonable. I would recommend this business to anyone

Oscar is the best. he was straightforward, hi estimate was spot on and he did the work efficiently. You would be hard pressed to find a more honest auto repair person. read more

Was very fair and fixed my ac compressor in less than a week! Would recommend Oscar and his team

Great guys. Were able to take me as a walk in. Got my car done pretty quick even during/after their lunch hour on a Saturday.

Oscar and his team are great. I go there every time I need an oil change or to have my brakes looked at.

I bring our company vehicles to get it serviced by Oscar , always makes time for us even when it's last minute.

Oscar and his team are great! Oscar walked me through everything he was going to fix and made me feel very comfortable. My car had a bad oil leak and he let me bring my car back the week after to ensure the leak was fixed free of charge. I think he had very fair prices as well! I will definitely go back to Oscar if I have another car issue. read more

On the way out to Tahoe, all the alert lights (engines, breaks, cruise, stability, etc.) came on - an issue we couldn't ignore and had to turn around. We got a diagnosis from Autozone that both issues were 3/3 importance and difficulty of repair, and had accepted that we probably wouldn't make the trip at all. We dropped by Schwerin Automotive and not only were they able to find the parts same-day, it was also the most affordable repair we'd ever done. And we're going to make it out after all, right in time for dinner! They were super punctual, professional, and efficient and we can honestly say we were so happy and impressed with the quality service, and will definitely choose this shop again for all future issues (though hopefully none!)! Thank you so much, Schwerin team! read more

Oscar was extremely friendly and helpful. I needed to diagnose several issues with my car. He did not hesitate to provide me thorough explanations and multiple estimates for each issue. He was able to change the batteries in my car very quickly, kept me updated by call and text throughout the process, and did the work for a fair price. I will be retuning next time my car needs work. Schwerin was by far the best experience I have had with car repair in the city. read more

I do my oil change there , when it's on Groupon , other wise it's a bit too expensive to do , but I really like the mechanic , a very nice and honest guy, it's a small place read more

I messaged the business to make an appointment on Christmas day and got a response within 2 hours. Brought my car in at my appt time for an oil change and tire rotation, and was out the door in 45 minutes. Oscar was very responsive and professional. I appreciate that he gives advice without overselling his services. read more

Was able to get my car in last minute for a road trip this holiday. Oscar was great, gave my car an oil change and check up.

So far, I have only been there for an estimate, but Oscar was extremely friendly and accommodating. Will add more to this review if I have repairs done there. read more

Oscar let AAA drop off my misfiring car for him to take a look at. The costs for repair were fair but too much for me to spend on a car that was near its end of life. He was very kind, understanding and patient while I made arrangements to get the car picked up. I highly recommend this fair and honest that this business. read more

For reference, the oil and filter change price that they quoted on phone is $90 and not $23.99 as posted on yelp and their website. Don't fall in their trap. Guess how many stars they got from me today? read more

I started going to Schwerin when I lived around the corner about three years ago. Oscar has always been incredibly honest, very fair, and so reasonably priced. I drive in now from San Rafael, and still have him do my work. I asked him yesterday to add twenty dollars to my bill, I guess like a tip, because I like him so much! I'm a single middle aged woman, and I know he'll take care of me. I'm so pleased to have found him. read more

Oscar was a great help.. I want to say thank you and your crew for being professional and keeping it real with customers about how they could help... I was so thankful for having oscar and crew to help fix my problem... now I'm ready to go to napa for a glass of wine and some great food... thanks again for your time and help.... thank you.... read more

Brought my car in for an oil change after purchasing a Groupon for $14! That was such a great deal that I was almost ready for the catch. I made an appointment and brought my car by. Oscar called me within the hour and I came back to pick up my car. No additional fees or upsale of further car maintenance. I was very happy with the service and plan on getting my oil changes here from now on. A couple days later, a light went off in my car for tire pressure and I decided to take it to Schwerin and they found exactly where the nail was in my tire. They removed and patched my tire and filled them up for $20. I'm really glad that I found Schwerin, because now I feel like if something happens to my car or it needs maintenance, I have a shop to go to. One that is convenient, fast and affordable. read more

I had a wonderful experience at this garage. Wonderful service, fair pricing, and a willingness to be honest and helpful. One visit for an oil change and new tires made a customer out of me! read more

Carlos - thanks for having my back. Great service, price & vibe. Will always come back here :)

This place is amazing and the only place that I take my car and can trust they won't oversell ! Oscar continues to give fair prices and excellent service! read more

Started going here for oil changes because of a Groupon, but I've had mechanical work done since and I find Oscar to be very honest and fair. He's usually very quick and has my car ready when he says; if he can't work on it in a timely manner, he'll let me know upfront. Good service and work... plus, he's a nice guy! read more

I took my car in because my AC was not working and my car kept overheating. Oscar fit me in without an appointment and was incredibly honest, thoughtful, and fair. I needed to get have my radiator and condenser replaced but they did not have the condenser in stock. Instead of replacing the radiator immediately and having me come back to replace the condenser after he ordered it, Oscar had me come back once the condenser had arrived to replace both so that I did not have to pay for the labor twice. He advocated for the option that saved me money--something I haven't experienced with many mechanic shops. I will be taking my car back here anytime it needs work! read more

I drive a 2015 Yukon, GMC and was given the run around by multiple so-called reputable mechanics/auto repair shops in San Francisco. Then I discovered Schwerin Auto, and Oscar specifically. He's down to earth, honest, super knowledgeable and friendly. He correctly diagnosed the problem I had with my car, fixed it and charged me a reasonable fee to do so, all in less than 1/2 a day. Do yourself a favor, and go see Oscar! read more

Oscar and his team are great! oscar walked me trough everythink he was going to fix and made me feel very comfortable.

Oscar and his team always provide great service at a fair price. I've been going to him for years, and would highly recommend him!

Had to wait 2.5 weeks for appointment because they were so booked up because they do good work! Oscar said my oil change would be about an hour and it was, thanks we'll see you in 5000 miles. read more

Wow! I went here for an oil change today, not expecting very much. But I was completely surprised by the honesty and help from the team. They underpromised and overdelivered as they delivered my car about 10mins ahead of time even though they were busy. I also appreciated that he helped me buff a mark on my door. I will be back for my next oil change and if I need any other work done on my car in the future. read more

I went there to get an oil change and I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I was looking for a place to get an oil change. I found​ ​a superb deal on​ ​Groupon. A guy changes oil and checks everything else for you! Tire pressure, breaks and fluid. Great customer service and super quick. Would recommend this place to anyone looking to get a not expensive, good, and fast oil change. read more

These guys are honest and reliable what more could you ask for a car repair if you need your car fixed and you don't want to spend more than you need to this is the spot nowadays it's hard to find these type of businesses these guys are worth doing business with. read more

I was very hesitant to purchase another Groupon voucher because I was very unhappy with the last two I bought. Blue Fin Sushi wouldn't honor any Groupon voucher now that they are under new management. People's Cafe is now People's Bistro, offering a Chinese menu instead of an American breakfast and lunch menu. With much hesitation, I thought I would give Groupon another chance especially since Schwerin Automotive has positive reviews on Yelp. I called around 9am this morning to see how soon I could go in for an oil change using a Groupon voucher. Oscar said to bring it in and it would take around an hour. I brought my laptop and was ready to wait for 3 - 4 hours at a nearby Starbucks. To my surprise, Oscar called an hour later and said the car was ready. As I walked back, I was trying to figure out how much would I have to pay for the disposal fee, tax and whatever else they might charge me for. He gave me the paperwork and said I'm all set since I already showed him the Groupon voucher when I arrived. I was stunned to hear the Groupon voucher covered everything especially after reading how another company was charging extra on top of their Groupon voucher. Thanks Oscar for the pleasant experience! I will definitely be coming back! read more

SERVICE Awesome, fast and friendly/useful/helpful. Had my car broken into through the back triangle window. The total cost to replace was $160, which was much better than I expected. This place was fast, ordered the specific window to arrive next morning, was able to drop off my car & they had it completed same day. Afterwards I had to go to dinner nearby and he let me leave my car parallel parked in front their driveway after they had to do some car shuffling. Haha these sf garages are so tiny & narrow. Bonus for me also is this place is conveniently close for me. Will go here for any car-related service needed in the future. read more

See all

been there multiple times before with good results, not sure why all of a sudden no one is picking up the phone or returning calls

If you are looking to get an oil change here, read this first. This shop they only offer one type of oil, 5w30. If it does not fit your car, then I am sorry, they wont care about it. They will just pour the same oil anyways. Make sure to check your car menu to see what grade of oil your car uses. If a wrong oil is used and your car engine is damaged, it will cost thousands of $$$ to get it fixed. I brought my own oil and I requested to use it instead cuz my car takes a different grade. They used to just take it. However, this time, they just kept saying no they couldnt take it. They INSISTED on using the wrong grade of oil for my car. Right, they don't give a F about doing the right thing for their customers. Then I had to go through a refund process with groupon with some back and forth hassle. This merchant redeemed my groupon without servicing my car, and Groupon claimed their policy did not accept refund. After more than half an hour of negotiating, finally they accepted to put money back to my credit card. What a disaster! tl;dr If your car do not use 5w30 oil, dont consider this place. Groupon refund is a disaster. read more

Discovered this place with a Groupon Certificate. Came in at my appointment time and seamlessly handed my coupon over, gave my key, he took my cell #, gave me an estimated time of 1 hour, and recommended a good place to grab some breakfast. It was a very good recommendation , by the way. Communication was clear and efficient. As I got up from my meal around the corner (30min after drop off) I got a call that my car was finished. I came out and the car was parked face forward in the driveway waiting for me. I will use them again, Groupon or not. read more
