San Francisco's Japanese Auto Repair Specialists

Wise advice, excellent service. I have taken my cars to Pat since 1990. Trust him with my life. Friendly. Patient explainers. Rest room. Although the shop seems surrounded by industrial buildings, the lovely Dogpatch neighborhood is only a couple of blocks away, as is the Bay, including small parks & gardens playground, Museum of Craft and Design, Humphrey Slocombe ice cream, and Philz Coffee.

This review pertains to my first visit to Pat’s garage. They performed a 100k service on my subaru Outback. Everything went smooth from booking an appointment to checkout. Staff was great. My battery needed replacement and they handled the warranty directly with the manufacturer without my involvement. It made everything very easy!

Pat’s Garage is the reason I bought my first car in 1992. A friend I commuted with took his car to Pat’s and I thought it was such a great place I knew I had a mechanic as soon as I had a car. Then Pat told me one of his customers was selling her car (which was a great Acura Integra) and the rest is history.

This was only my 2nd servicing after gaining the referral to Pat’s. The last time I took it in was 2 years ago. Deanna gave me exceptional communication and service details. I was able to bring it in at 7:30am and have it back before 3pm the same day. They gave me a detailed invoice and said that everything looked good; they added air to the tires and wiper fluid as requested. As I pulled away from the curb and half way home, I realized the squeak in the brakes was gone. Thank you so much to the Team at Pat’s for providing quality and value with care. I will be back. Thanks again!

Honest, efficient, transparent complete with photos of all the work done, with excellent service. This was my first time coming to Pat’s Garage for my Honda Fit and I am more than please. So grateful that I found them.

I had a great experience here. I took my Honda Element in for service and inspection. I feel very confident with the work they did. They are very thorough and transparent about the work they do and recommend. They are not particularly inexpensive, but the prices are very fair for the level of work they do, and the first timer special is a great deal. I'm glad to have such a great shop to go to for service and repairs.

Reasons I go to Pat’s garage - it’s an independent business for years. With this comes experience, detailed knowledge on the make, model , trustworthy.

I’ve take our old civic here many times, the team has been great in keeping it safely on the road without breaking the bank. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent communications - transparent, informative, and timely. Definitely would recommend.
