Great Business. Sam has been my mechanic for over 10y and he's still my mechanic!!! They did a full suspension replacement for a great price and are always professional and eager to solve problems or answer questions. They did a great service I will be back read more

The owner lauren was very kind and hands on working at his own shop! had a mechanic get my tail light fixed quick under 4 minutes in and out! Pricing was amazing and I will be coming here again! thank you lauren for all the hospitality and great customer service! very stress free experience as the name says. read more

Was a very smooth and easy experience. Kirk took good care of us and they did a thorough job.

Easy to set up appointment, good price for my oil change, communication, friendly. I will be back!

Had a good experience at Abc Motor. They were able to diagnose the issue quickly and the repair was done professionally. The only reason for 4 stars is that it took a bit longer than originally quoted, but the quality of work is definitely there read more

Fantastic work and fantastic service. Leaves you feeling good when you walk out, which is certainly not always the case with auto service. No idea how their prices compare to others in the area but they didn't seem unreasonable and they were very up front with the prices which I appreciate. read more

Amazing service and great prices. They also have a lovely waiting room for you to sit in while your vehicle is serviced.

Quick service, easy drop off with lift service to home, they're stress free auto shop

Want your car serviced, go anywhere. Want your car serviced CORRECTLY? Go to Sam and Kit. Extremely fair and transparent with pricing. Sam takes out the broken part, shows it to me, tells me what it does and why it needed replacing. Who else does that? When I ask if I need this or that done, he's honest and doesn't try to upsell me on service when it's not due or needed. Repeat customer for life. read more

We call him Dr. Sam in my family because he's the one we trust to keep our cars healthy. I always learn something from him about our cars as he very throughly explains what the issues are and what he's going to do. Sam, the owner and his crew are all friendly and seem genuinely enthusiastic about problem-solving car problems. Highly recommend!!! read more

I usually don't write reviews but there aren't any recent updates for him. This review is solely on customer service since I ended up not going to him for my car. I called Saturday and left a message asking if they can work on my car since a check emissions system light came on. He called on Tuesday (7/5 was a holiday for everyone) to say he could look at my car on Tuesday, I said I was working but would love to bring it in first thing in the morning at 9am. He said great. He didn't get in until 9:30, at that time I had left after waiting for 20 minutes and left a VM and schedule an appointment with another mechanic. read more

I've been bringing my cars to Abc motors (Sam) for the last 12 years, he has service all my cars and small fleet of business vehicles. Always provides me a quote, usually comes way bellow stated quote, never pushes unnecessary work on you. he even reset the service warning from my car that was recently serviced by BMW. read more

Found ABC Motor through a recommendation. It was a little further than I wanted to go to get my car checked out, but I'm so glad I did! Sam was great! My check engine light had been on for a while and I was finally getting it looked at. Sam told me what was wrong and gave me an estimate. Said he could have it done in about 2-2.5 hours. I ended up going to get brunch and coming back to fixed car! The great thing about Sam is that he took his time to show me what he did. He showed the part from my car that he replaced and showed me under the hood what he did. Granted I don't know much about cars, but Sam took the time to explain everything to me. I will be coming back the next time I need my car serviced! read more

Brought-in my AUDI tt for a manual-recommended timing belt, tensioner, and water pump replacement. It was my first time to use ABC Motor so I was a little nervous and hesitant at first. But after a few minutes of conversation with Mr. Sam Lam, the owner, I felt more at ease as we continued the discussion about my vehicle. His soft-spoken but confident demeanor made me feel more comfortable and less intimidated. I was very impressed with his professionalism, knowledgeability and honesty, which was evident since he never tried to upsell me into doing other unnecessary repairs or services. I also liked the fact that he told me he didn't like to rush to insure quality. His prices are very fair and the quality of the job, superb! I think it's worth mentioning that he didn't charge me for the initial exam. and for topping-off the freon on my air-conditioning. I waited a week before doing this review because I wanted to make sure my car's running in tip-top shape to ensure the account of my experience is accurate. I own a small collection of luxury automobiles and I can honestly say that I have found my go-to guy for automotive needs. Kudos to you, Sam and ABC Motor. I'm a customer for life!... read more

I just purchased a used 1999 Accord, and I wanted to get everything on it fixed. When I brought it to Sam, he gave a quick run down and pointed out several issues that I hadn't spotted! The previous owner had some things done on it from cheap automotive places, which Sam explained in great detail about the reason why it was done wrong. It really opened my eyes at how inexpecienced other places can be. So I left it at the shop for him to inspect and give me an estimate. A day later, he tells me all the problems that he suggests I fix, then lists some issues that he thinks are too expensive to fix but wont effect the safety of the car. He gave me a great deal on the service and parts, and during the job he found another issue but fixed that for free. Although I didn't expect the car to have so many problems when I bought it, I'm glad Sam was able to evaluate it and get it into proper working order. He seems to love his job, and I totally recommend going to him for your car needs! read more

I called the manager and i explained what was going on with my car, he replied that he could fix it no problem. I got a towing truck to his place and when we arrived, he took a look at the car for 4 mn and then told me he can not fix it after the towing truck left. He went back to his garage without any apology when i was double parked in one of the busiest street of San Francisco so i had to wait another 45mn to get another towing truck. I wish i could give him minus star for his service. read more

Awww Hell Naw. I don't trust anyone with my Subaru WRX. Seriously, I don't trust anyone. Yuuuuggggh! I needed Sam to treat my car as if he owned it himself. I needed a Smart and Honest mechanic. What What? After a couple of dates (oil changes) I was ready to commit eRRRaY! I dropped off my baby for a complete overhaul: Timing, Therm, Gaskets, Oil Pump, the list goes on. Sam, was great and pointed out some other things that might need to be replaced. I never felt that he was upselling me or taking advantage of my trusting nature. I took him up on his suggestion for differential rebuild. Happy Endings. My baby runs perfectly, smells great, grips hard, and it's because of ABC Motor. Thanks Sam. read more

Outstanding Service. I wish I could give more stars. Great and Friendly Service Fair Price Quick Owner (Sam) on site to answer all your questions FREE Wi-Fi while you wait. Will be taking my care here for now on. read more

ABC Motor / Stress-Free Auto Care - Auto Repair Near Me - San Francisco, California

When I felt that my brakes needed to be looked at and replaced, all of my friends recommended that I stop in to see Sam. They all bring their cars to him for routine maintenance. I'm always skeptical about bringing my car anywhere since my dad is a mechanic and had always maintained our family vehicles, and he's shared many horror stories about people bringing their cars in to get them back in worse condition. I spoke to Sam on the phone, and I had no problem getting set up with an appointment in no time. He briefed me on the parts he would be using, etc. made me feel at ease. Brought my car by in the morning, and he told me to swing by at the end of the day. When I came by afterwards to pick up and Daisy (that's the name of my mustard yellow Honda Civic coupe), all was well. As I was about to drive into the night, he noticed that one of my headlights was out, and right there on the spot, he replaced it for me. Awesome service he provides. My car is running smoothly. I will be planning on taking my car back for future maintenance. Thanks, Sam! read more

I have been going to Sam for all my automotive service needs for 8 years now (2007 to present day 2015). The first time I stepped in his shop I told him I was fascinated with working on cars but had no idea where to start. He took a wrench and walked me through how to do an oil change, how to check all the fluids on my car, and what things to keep an eye out for that will wear-and-tear. There have been times where I have called him where I was stuck at home with no idea how to fix the mess I created, and each time Sam has came through with a solution over the phone - I didn't even need to bring in the car. I have had a Lexus (sold at 195k miles with no major issues), Mercedes (going strong with no major repairs @ 120k miles), and Acura (my precious baby currently @ 45k miles) - each of which have been taken care of by Sam I know this is probably a perk for being a client of his for such a long time, but there have been plenty times where Sam has offered buying me lunch if I happen to come in during his lunch hour. I have sent at least 8 friends to Sam for their automotive service needs (ranging from Mercedes, BMWs, Hondas, Lexus, Acuras, Toyotas) and each one have told me nothing but 5-star reviews - it feels great being able to give a good shop recommendation to friends so that dealerships aren't robbing them. read more

I've been coming to Sam for over 6 years now. In fact everyone in my family trusts him with our cars. We've gotten everything done from oil changes to breaks to engine swaps here and never had a problem. His prices are more than fair and he does excellent work. When it comes to cars, he's our guy. I've never had a negative experience here and I've never seen an unhappy customer here either. Every time I go in he does a quick routine inspection for me. Last time I was there getting an oil change, Sam and his mechanic told me I needed new tires. Sure enough, a week later one of my tires popped. It's tough to find an honest place these days. ABC motor is one of them. Typically he'll show me the broken parts he replaced and gives me a thorough explanation of how it worked and why it needed to be replaced. If you're curious all you need to do is ask. Sam knows his stuff and gets the job done in a very timely manor. Believe me when I say this. If you bring your car here, you won't be disappointed. Most of the other reviews basically cover what I wanted to say. It looks like pretty much everyone has had a similar experience here. read more

Sam is a pleasure to deal with. Honest, reliable and a shop that takes pride in their work. The car is worked on efficiently and ready as promised. Performed a brake pad, rotor replacement, distributor replacement, radiator replacement (all separate occasions). Sam consulted me on the make of parts he would be using before he went ahead and did the work. This is important - I prefer using top quality pads and rotors on my car, rather than cheap aftermarket versions of the parts. He is always very thorough on explaining what needs to be done and what was done after completing the job which I like to know. The level of service, the knowledge and the attention to detail was thorough and professional. I highly recommend this shop! read more

I don't know much about cars. You probably don't either. You probably don't trust mechanics much due to your ignorance. But you can totally trust Sam and the crew at ABC Motor. He has been extremely up front about everything, and very trustworthy. How do I know? The other day I took my car in because of... thumps when I accelerated or put the car in gear. He could have said he'd keep it overnight and take a look and find something to charge me $500 for. Instead he told me if it were his car, he'd get the fuel injection serviced for $70 around the corner and if the car was still making noises to come back in. Well, he was right. I went in for a stubborn check engine light in the past as well and he was extremely helpful. Bottom line is, these are good people! Give them your business. read more

I usually don't give reviews, but I just had to thank the crew at ABC motor, for replacing my starter the other day! Called them after frantically calling around to see who could get his done without taking for forever and also breaking the bank. They got me in and out in the same day even stayed late so I could get back there. Thanks guys! You saved the day!!! Sean! read more

Sam and his crew are the best mechanics out there. They are very knowledgeable and very accommodating. In a world of untrustworthy mechanics, you can rest assured that this place won't try to rip you off or tell you there's something else wrong with your cr when there isn't. I have been going to see Sam for all of my repair needs ever since he was operating at his old place on Pacific and he is the most honest and reliable person I have ever been to. His new location is great, much more spacious and convenient if you are going to leave your car there for awhile because there are lots of shops right around the corner you can chill at while waiting. Overall best service, fair prices, and most honest mechanic I know! read more

I always go to Sam when I need a serious repair done on any of my vehicles. I know that when I need something done right Sam has my back. He doesn't only do the repairs, he shows me what happen and explains to me. He never tries to cheat me never. He's fixed My 2001 Dodge Durango, 2006 BMW 328i, 1993 Acura Vigor, and my 2002 BMW 330ci. I trust him with all my vehicles, & I recommend him with my family and close friends. He's always done a true quality service on my vehicles. He gives me the best prices in all the bay area, even better prices than shops that are all the way in Modesto. He always gives me reasonable time frame as well. Everything that he has fixed on my vehicles haven't broken down to this day. So I want everybody to know that with Sam from ABC Motor you have a true reliable shop. read more

Sam is my go-to for any automotive service needs. My buddy Chris recommended Sam a few years ago and I've been coming to Sam ever since. Sam is very honest and I can guarantee that he will never cheat you. Sam takes care of my 07 BMW 335i as well as my girlfriend's 2015 Honda Civic and has done an excellent job on both without breaking my bank. If you're looking for a reliable, honest auto shop that won't break your bank - look no further. Give Sam a call. read more

These guys are great. Very honest and quality service. I always recommend all my friends and family to get their cars serviced here. All you ever want is about honest mechanic....they're hard to come by and this is where to go if that's what you want. My parents were having issues with their Ford Escape and got quoted about $1500 @ a few other shops. We were able to get the same repair for almost half of that here. Thanks! read more

This is the place mechanic to bring your car to. Honest, fair prices, Sam and his crew really knows their shit and they don't try to nickel and dime you like all the other mechanics out there. Come here if you want your car taken good care of! read more

Sam is always really good to me. He has been from the beginning. He never over charges, in fact sometimes undercharges. He's honest, straightforward, helpful, reliable, everything you'd want in A mechanic / auto specialist. Take your car to him because he's great! But don't take your car to him too often because I don't want him to be too busy to take my car when I need him! read more

The mechanics at ABC motors are reliable and attentive to your every concern. The prices are great for their outstanding and prompt service. The guys are friendly with unpretentious knowledge and years of experience to help you solve your car troubles at prices that are competitive with the market. They provide insightful advice and alternative suggestions to achieving repairs that may reduce the dent in your pocket. On top of that, the location is convenient amid the bustling mission street with great food and shops to detract your wait time and it's only a couple of blocks from the 16th Street Mission bart station, a bonus if you have to leave your car overnight. Having a trusted mechanic to service your car is probably one of the most important investments that comes with owning a vehicle. I'm glad I stumbled upon ABC motors, it's one less hassle on life's list of hassles! read more

You will not find another shop so honest or helpful. Just like Elena said in a past review, Sam always takes me through what he does with my car before and after he does anything. I don't know anything about cars, so it's nice to have a safe place to go to where I know I won't be overcharged or charged any unknown or questionable fees (unlike the dealerships that almost always do that...). He always gets the job done right, and quickly, then explains everything to me or my big brother who actually knows a lot about cars and understands the language of a mechanic. I highly recommend ABC Motor to anyone. read more

Best mechanic in the City. Honest and above board with his pricing and diagnosis of your car.

I can't say enough good things about the service I received at Abc Motor. Sam and his staff are honest, professional, and courteous. Their prices are also very reasonable. I've been to a number of other shops in the city, and these guys are the best. Whether I've needed routine maintenance, or bigger repairs, these guys have been able to get the job done in a timely and cost-efficient manner. I'll be bringing my business back. read more

This is THE place to bring your car! Sam is the BEST! I have a 23 year old car (1991 VW Fox) and it suddenly died on me. Okay, so it's an old car but I have owned it since it was new, it's paid for and it is a good second car for me and my partner. I wasn't ready to let go of it yet but I knew that this problem could result in the final death certificate of the car. I didn't have a mechanic to take it to and a friend told me about ABC Motor and Sam....So I had the car towed there and Sam got started on it. Sam is one of those rare mechanics that answered my calls, called me with updates and kept me informed along the way as he tested and investigated the problem. Most mechanics would have given up on the car but Sam saw this as a challenge and was determined to find out what was wrong with it so that I could proceed with fixing it or send it to the junk yard. Sam figured it out, told me what it would cost to fix it and then fixed it. It runs like a new car now! Again, I realize it is an OLD car but I would rather spend money on an old car that I know than have to replace it with an unknown used car that could become a money pit. The day I went to pick it up, Sam showed me photos of the car (that he took with his phone) while it was all apart. By the looks of everything, he spent a lot of time working on it. I am so glad that I found an honest mechanic like Sam...I will bring my VW back to Sam until it stops passing Smog check...and I will be bringing my other car to him as well. He has earned my trust (and business) and when it comes to mechanics, it is hard to know who to trust. One final note that I think sums up my experience at ABC Motor: When I was paying Sam for the work that he did, I was so grateful that he fixed the car and knew that he had to be losing money on this job (or at the very least broke-even), so I offered him a $150 tip...and he REFUSED to take it! I am convinced that Sam is in this business because he loves working on cars. If you need a hard working, honest mechanic, Sam is the guy for you. read more

Its hard to find a trust-worthy mechanic and thank God I did! Sam has worked on my cars numerous amounts of time and each time has come back to me in great condition! Sam's one saying that got me coming back is " I would never use anything I wouldnt use on my own cars." Thank you Sam and Kit for taking care of my car problems! read more

I had my alternator replaced a couple of months ago at a shop while up in Reno, and was concerned yesterday when my battery light started coming on intermittently. Of course, this happened on a Friday night, so I figured it'd be tough to even get an appointment on a Saturday. I called, and Sam said to come in and he'd take a look at it. He and his associate hooked the battery up and checked everything. Turns out that after their testing everything came up fine, which left me relieved. Best of all, he didn't charge for the testing. Great service, will bring my car back for future work. read more

I took my car in today and saw Sam who was extremely helpful and honest. The service engine light was on and i didn't know what was the problem but some thoroughly determined the issue and gave me a fair price. I will be recommending him to all my friends and will be back to ABC motor for all my auto needs. read more

I"ve know and used Sam since he was in lower Pac Heights. He does great work and more importantly, provides great advice in prioritizing repairs, what is essential and what could wait a bit. He's also a friendly person that you wish could be your neighbor. read more

You will not find a more honest mechanic in the city. Sam saved me hundreds of dollars after getting a second opinion with him. Honesty is a hard quality to find in mechanics now a days and if you ever want a quality and efficient mechanic please come here and you will be surprised with the customer service as well. read more
