Our story
The Shop the Neighborhood Trusts
California Auto Care is a no-frills, no-nonsense repair shop at 301 25th Avenue in San Francisco. We handle the work your car actually needs, brakes, oil changes, tires, diagnostics, and repairs, and we tell you the truth about what it doesn't. If the fix turns out to be a $150 loose bolt instead of a $500 wheel bearing, that's what you pay.
Owner Denis runs the shop the way customers keep describing in their reviews: careful, honest, and easy to deal with. Drivers come to us after being quoted thousands elsewhere, and they come back for every oil change after.
We're open six days a week, and most jobs are finished the same or next day, checked, road-ready, and priced fairly.
- Honest, upfront pricing
- Same- or next-day turnaround on most repairs
- Owner-run — you deal with Denis directly
- Open six days a week
What customers say
“Thought I had a busted wheel bearing hub. Called around - one place quoted me $3k to fix it! Called California Auto - they said $500 for parts and labor. Of course went with them. Brought it in Monday, it was ready on Tuesday. Even better - they got to the wheel bearing hub and noticed it's just a loose bolt on the axel. My total was $150 in the end. Honest, no frills no nonsense, quick work. Will be returning! First trustworthy mechanic I've had”
“These guys work carefully and honestly — something that's getting harder and harder to find. I've been coming here regularly for oil changes, tire work, and diagnostics, and every time the experience is great. Prices are very fair, the work is done properly, and you can tell they really know what they're doing.”
“He is the best. Fair price, reliable service. Take care my car like their car.”
