San Francisco German Auto Repair

Great service! Fast and competent - and also very nice and helpful Recommend highly.

A trusted shop in the neighborhood known for detailed diagnostic skills and expert repair. The guys are always extremely quick and professional. The price is competitive and low in comparison to dealers, frendly and honest team.

Pete's has been consistently reliable, professional, honest, and human since I first went to them eight years ago. I can't imagine finding anyone who could hold a candle to Pete's. And on top of it all, everyone is a delight to work with. Beat that!

We have had our Mercedes serviced several times over the years at Pete's, and it's always a good experience. There expertise, timeliness, and cleanliness are all top-notch.

*** warning estimate may very. No attempt to contact *** *Response to Greg: to be clear I am upset that there were zero attempt to notify that an error was made on the estimate, and that the cost was going to be nearly 30% more. I called another mechanic and got at quote for $1200 for both axels. Hopefully you learned to contact your customers and inform them of any changes you're making, especially when you have them sign something. I have a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300D with a broken axel. I took my car over to Pete's. They emailed me an estimate,and I had to sign before they would start working on the car. When I came in to pick up the car, I was charged nearly 20% more than I was quoted. When I asked about the discrepancy I was politely told that there was a mistake on the estimate and that someone should have called me to revise the quote. No one had called me or emailed me. Then I was told that actually the new price was a real deal and that really I was not getting charged for an additional two hours and filling up the fluids. At that point, I asked what was the point of the contract if they weren't going to update me or honor it. The woman said she understands and would honor the estimate that I was sent. A week later the manager left me a message to let me know that he was upset with me and accused me of not wanting to pay them for the work they did and said I was not welcomed at the garage anymore. Wasn't planning to go back to a garage where the Manager can mess up an estimate then won't notify me of changes. Good luck. I choose to ignore reviews I saw here talking about this exact thing.

Everyone here is proud of their jobs. The warm greeting from the guy outside, washing the treasured older vehicles, to Lucia the administrative person, who is a natural educator of all things car mechanical. I must have asked her a handful of questions right off and she graciously and enthusiastically answered them. It was clear from the start and out the door that this business will do the work you need right then. They'll let you know if they see something coming up. However, you're the one, who determines what to get done on this visit. The pricing is what one expects for a great job; nothing inflated like the car service departments at dealerships. I like to support independent businesses. Often, though, our experience is that they're super short staffed. It's hard to get questions answered by phone or even email. Not so here. Everyone works as a team to respond to your needs. Plus they value a quality job. I drive a 2019 Mini Cooper S. It's clear that their expertise expands well beyond BMWs and Mercedes.

We took our car in for an oil change and servicing. Our auto was thoroughly inspected. We were given a list of things that needed immediate attention and other things that needed to be watched. We let them know how we wanted to proceed. Surprise, they washed our car before returning it. A nice touch,

great service

Once again Danny did a terrific job getting my 62 190SL back in prime operating condition. Petes is a great place to do business, a Zen shop, and always a pleasure to talk with Greg, Danny, and Lucia.

Rare expertise for dealing with a vintage 190SL, outstanding service, a Zen shop and Danny’s great. A pleasure doing business with Pete’s
