    5 Stars! The owner helped me after work hours to get my car looking just right. Amazing attention to detail and outstanding customer service! Highly recommended!

    My poor X1...it was overdue for a diagnostic, and needed a lot of maintenance. Koorosh was very compassionate and not judgmental but clearly cared very much that my car needed care (and a wash!). To all the ladies I know who hate going to car shops because of the fear of not understanding cars and repair work....this place is GREAT! Koorosh explained a lot and shared a lot of photos, not in a bad way, but in a way that makes sense and gives you confidence of what and why you're paying for the service. I loved getting videos while my car was in the shop showing me an issue with the ac they found, they shared various ways they were measuring and finding issues that helped me to decide how much work was worth it. The repairs were done so fast and I can feel a huge improvement in the cars performance. I'm now excited to take my car back for more routine care.

    Excellent service, combined with competitive rates. Work gets done much faster than with most dealership. Most importantly, they stand behind the work that they do. Remember good, old mechanic you can trust? This is it, SF European Auto!

    There are car people and then there are CAR people who live and breathe cars. Koorosh and his team are the later. I walked past his pristine shop after spending some time at the BMW dealership right across his shop as they weee doing some interesting work right up front. He has a story for each of his cars and motorcycles (I'm also a motorcycle guy) and over the following hour or so I learned about his shops best practices as well as pro tips other repair shops either don't know or won't do when it comes to car upkeep and repair because they prefer to take shortcuts at the customers expense. Stop by and grab some fresh coffee and chat up Koorosh you'll definitely leave learning something and have a renewed sense of appreciation for what people that are passionate about their work looks like.

    Negligent, Arrogant and Unethical…read more I prefer to put the worst auto shop experience of my life behind me and never look back, but given the negligence, arrogance and unethical behavior I experienced at Cowden Automotive, it's my social responsibility to share. I hired Cowden to do a simple hardtop installation on my truck since it takes 3 people to place top on vehicle, tho rest can be done by one. Day of install, Justin from Cowden called saying the top was "defective" and insisted I go into a legal battle w hardtop company. By an act of god, someone from Texas hardtop company happened to be in California visiting family. I asked rep to visit, Justin rudely fought this, but finally at great inconvenience to rep he came to Cowden. Turns out Cowden installed top without watching clear rudimentary installation video, they didn't remove 2x large parts before installing top, so top didn't fit! Rep re-installed on site at no cost. I shared installation video w Justin 2x via email before install, 1x day of install, plus install day I confirmed with Justin + his dad owner Mike they would follow video instructions. Their only job was to follow simple instructions, they didn't, nor did they have skills to trace steps with video after failed install. Mistakes happen, but there was zero remorse from Justin, zero cost reduction, he was very rude to me, the rep, and had I not caught installation error on video, it's clear he'd have charged for extra time due to shop negligence, plus I'd be out $7K paid for top. I asked him about accountability, he said he doesn't stand by the work done at shop, since he can't oversee everyone. Wow. Hands down, most unethical, negligent and arrogant auto shop I've ever experienced. I wouldn't trust these guys to install windshield wiper blades, much less anything mechanical where safety is concerned. Beware.

It tuns out there was a street fair closing Folsom St. I decided to find another smog shop that opens at 8 am. I found Auto Stop and called them and got the price for a smog test. Service is not first come first served and appointments are recommended. I went online and made an 8 am appointment. On the appointed day I got there at 7 am (I'm always early) and waited. About 7:40 am I heard the roll up doors going up. I got out and told the guy opening the doors that I was there for a smog test. He told me that he would smog my car right away and that it wouldn't take long. I handed him my keys and he did the rest. \ I sat on a chair in the office area while the test was performed. The test took about 7 minutes and at 7:50 am I was on my way home. It doesn't get any better than this. The technician was friendly, courteous and professional.

After this experience, I'm honestly not sure whether I'll be returning. I have always trusted this shop, but this visit has made me consider looking elsewhere for future repairs. My recent experience with my brake and rotor replacement was disappointing. I brought my own brake pads and rotors to help reduce the overall cost, and the labor quote I received initially seemed fair. However, the situation changed when the mechanic said he was unable to reinstall the wheels, which resulted in additional labor charges. The final cost ended up being nearly double what I originally expected, which was very frustrating. The next issue was even more confusing. The mechanic informed me that the brake pads I provided were not compatible with my vehicle. However, I purchased the brake pads specifically for my car, and the product listing clearly states that they are compatible with my vehicle. This left me questioning whether the parts were properly verified before concluding that they could not be installed. I found this entire situation unusual, especially since I have had many previous services completed here without any problems. Based on my experience, the additional labor charges seemed unnecessary and left me questioning whether I was being charged fairly. I have always appreciated the work this shop has done in the past, which is why this experience was particularly frustrating. I hope management will review what happened, provide clarification regarding the additional charges, and ensure that customers are charged fairly and consistently.
