Professional and friendly, a great experience all around. Alek is super cool. Prices are fair and fully itemized. Extremely communicative and thorough. They did a detailed complimentary inspection of my car, including 20+ photos and videos to accompany every point they made with quotes for everything in a priority ranking system. Replaced a wheel bearing at half the cost of what another "reputable" shop quoted. Great first timer oil change deal as well. Pat's made the normally stressful process of car repair actually enjoyable and assuring. All in all this is the type of business I want to support and interact with. I will be taking both of my vehicles here going forward, and will recommend them to friends and family. read more

Pat's is a reputable auto shop! They've provided my car with excellent services at a fair price. They've provided insights that I was unable to check myself and fixed issues that I came to them with. The format they use for invoices is thorough, including pictures and things to keep an eye on in the coming months. Their customer service is friendly and professional. 5/5 auto shop! read more

I used Honda dealer services for several years but the costs kept piling up, even though I knew they must have done a great job but I never understood all the repairs done to my car over the years . Then I found Pat's Garage through my neighbors' recommendation years ago to maintain and repair my aging Honda. They have never disappointed me. They provide excellent service , all work done with photos attached and explained, no hidden costs , honest and transparent ! Highly highly recommended. read more

We always get consistent quality service from the team at Pat's Garage. They do a great job helping us with maintenance of both of our cars. Although they were very busy, they fit us in. One of the many reasons that we are loyal customers. read more

Fantastic service and good people! Family business. After years at another shop that retired, grateful to find Pats Garage.

Pat's Garage is the BEST! Great service, great staff, great price. I found Pat's after my car warranty ran out. Going to the dealership to service my Toyota was just too much money and unpleasant service-wise. Pat's Garage is a breath of fresh air. You gotta check out Pat's for your next service. They have a first-timer's deal so you can just see the difference for yourself! Not Pat's though! I will go here from now on. read more

I have been a customer of Pat's Garage for 38 years. Pat and his staff members are extremely good at what they do, plus they are fair, honest, and friendly. read more

Wonderful place run by father and son. I always feel welcome and listened to and know that my vehicle is in excellent hands. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!! read more

Great shop you can trust, no upsell and honest conversation about what's needed and what's not. Have been coming here for maybe four/five different routine visits or specific fixes, and I've never left disappointed. Would recommend. read more

I am a native to SF - have moved a 3-4 times - and have had great experiences back in the day with George at Sunset Garage and Jerry at Emerald. For the past 4 years, I've been living in 94110 and can't thank Pat's Garage enough for the honest, direct, quality and service they provide. This has been a big year for me and the health of my great manual 2007 HB which I had to let go of after a fender bender left it disabled. I switched to a used 2013 Prius and was told that they were among the first to embrace hybrid servicing. I appreciate their ability to set realistic expectations, the cost structure (value), and modernized method of invoicing w/detailed breakdown of service - Pat's Garage has never let me down. read more

Great service work on my Fisker Karma, great communication all along the way, provided a lot of options to consider. In the end, all is good. read more

I started taking my old old hybrid here after another hybrid specialist shop missed a major problem when they'd serviced the car. I'm so glad I found Pat's. They are honest, excellent at what they do, transparent, and very nice to deal with. Thanks Pat's! My car is old but it runs like a young thing thanks to you guys. read more

Easy access via HW 101, 280, and the T 3rd St. train. Been using them for a long time. Friendly staff and skilled technicians. Over the years, they have been refreshing my old Acura & have done some major jobs. They have always gone out of the way to find and use OEM Honda parts - which I highly value! Despite the volume of cars they handle, the workmanship has been excellent and I've never had to return for additional repairs. The rates are reasonable considering the level of service they provide. I highly recommend Pat's garage! Aside: They service Fiskers! read more

I have been taking my 2014 Nissan Frontier to Pat's garage for many years. Once again the service I received this week for routine maintenance of my vehicle was excellent. The technicians at Pat's Garage are very VERY thorough in all regards to work performed. I couldn't be happier, and have also referred friends to Pat's. read more

This review is based on an interaction I had with Pat's Garage a couple days ago. I left a desperate message on their voice mail because our Subaru had major issues after arriving in San Francisco from Reno. A local Subaru dealership conducted a diagnostic and came up with issues resulting in nearly $7,000 of proposed repair work! Yikes! Pat's Garage called me back and, after hearing my sad tale, told me which items should be repaired to get us back home and which ones we could hold off on. The price differential was incredible - less than half! He also told me about the policy of dealerships for recommended services versus what garages like theirs would recommend (dealerships typically recommend services at first signs of wear when they could wait a bit longer). While Pat's Garage gets booked up far in advance and could not repair our car, we were impressed that they took the time to give us honest feedback. We made it back home safely, getting only the repairs that were recommended by Pat's Garage. Thank you! read more

Nice people- excellent communication about what they're doing , why and cost. Reasonably priced and high quality work. Thanks Pat's G! read more

I have been taking my cars to Pats Garage for over a decade now. They have provided consistent service and knowledge and maintaining my vehicles. I highly recommend the staff who have consistently kept my cars in great running condition at a great price read more

I called to ask whether this shop could service a 2017 Kia Niro Hybrid. Specifically, I asked if they were familiar with replacing the Hybrid Starter Generator (HSG) belt. The person I spoke with said he was not familiar with it but would look into it and call me back. I provided my vehicle's VIN so he could research it. After waiting two weeks without receiving a callback, I decided to take my car to a Kia dealership instead. I'm disappointed with this experience, especially many positive reviews I've read about this shop. read more

excellent- will be back! The combination of the technical expertise and honesty, kindness and care is the full package!

Have been relying on Pats Garage in recent years. Always a positive experience. Today brought car in for a check engine light that temporarily turned on, then off. Determined nothing was out of order. They reminded me that I had a $200 credit and were only charging me $50. for checking the car out. Who does that these days? Great customer service. read more

Yesterday was my second general inspection for my Mazda CX50. Great experience, detailed information and recommendations including things that should be fixed by the dealership under the guarantee. Very happy so far with everyone at Pat's Garage. read more

Pat's Garage is a truly professional business to service your vehicle. I've had many years of great service experience. They are friendly, efficient, accommodating, careful, and recommend only essential service. read more

My 2001 Honda CR-V is a return customer of Pat's. My Honda likes Pat's and that means I like Pat's. My Honda was stolen in October and returned to me broken and a total loss. Pat's Garage got the OEM parts at fair prices, explained to me in straightforward language the problems, costs, and solutions. Work proceeded in a timely manner, and communication was constant. My Honda experienced work beyond the items in the estimates at no cost to me. I had my Honda towed by AAA to Pat's two weeks ago and today drove it away in better condition than the day it was stolen. I have experienced few garages in all the places that I have lived that are the quality of Pat's Garage. read more

Excellent service, fast turnaround, and well-priced. Super friendly and helpful staff.

We have experienced 20 years of stellar service from this family owned, friendly, efficient, and utterly professional shop. Pat's has always provided clear communications, accurate estimates, reasonable pricing and the highest quality workmanship. We feel so fortunate to have them in the neighborhood! read more

I wish to express my gratitude to you for all your work on my old Toyota Tacoma Truck.Your promptness in answering my requests are most appreciative and your work is outstanding.I am just glad I found you.I hope you all continue and survive in a very competitive business.For me I'd rather take my truck to you for repairs and maintenance than any other place including the dealership.You're a five star operation and if there was a 6,I'd state that too read more

Very knowledgeable technicians. They are keeping my 2000 Celica in great condition and could be running for a very long time. Pat's also keeps my wife's 2008 Prius in great shape too! read more

Excellent service. They always explain what you need for your car. And there is no pressure tactics. Staff is friendly and will answer all of your questions. read more

Grateful for my first service at Pat's Garage , where I felt truly valued as a new customer. Forrest did an excellent job communicating the way my service would work, and keeping me posted during the day. I received a clear diagnosis once the job was completed of the state of my car along with detailed images of a small oil leak the mechanic found. Certainly felt like more detailed care than that received from the larger corporate garage I have been going to. Thank you, I will be back . read more

So far so good. I tried this place for the first time for the annual maintenance check to my aging but beloved Prius, and the service was prompt, the explanations of what was recommended and what was most urgent were clear and informative. The location is also better for me than my previous garage, and there is parking available in front of the garage, so it's easy for dropping off and picking up the vehicle. The costs seem comparable to what I have experienced elsewhere. read more

What a fantastic discovery after trying different service garages around the city for years. I have an older 2011 Subaru Outback that had a few issues to check out, and wasn't happy with the last Subaru specialist garage I went to last year, so decided to give Pat's a whirl as they were one of the few with good Subaru experience. It's a little out of the way for me as I live over in the Richmond district, and it is a little more expensive than some other places I've been, but it is definitely well worth the distance and the price. Very easy to make an appointment (this is such an issue with so many garages around SF), very professional and very detailed estimate/quote system. The service itself was turned around quickly, they found a bunch of things I didn't know about and documented with photos, descriptions of the service all sent by text and email. Highly recommend them, especially if you are sick of the usual standard of sketchy service in SF at most garages! read more

I've been a customer for a few years now servicing my 2006 Toyota Highlander. Great customer service when it comes to routine checks during oil changes, planning appointments and notifications are prompt (via text, phone, and/or email), and handling the bill online helps speed up the process. All of the notes of the work done that day are all in one email included with the bill which makes the process so fluid and efficient. Definitely worth it if your looking for a team to build a long term relationship with you and your car care. read more

Personalized service with knowledgeable and friendly technicians. A family owned business, trustworthy and helpful.

I brought my Fisker Ocean One into have a recall issue taken care of. I had my 12v battery and an annual maintenance inspection also done. My contact person was Forrest. He kept me updated on the progress of my car through out the day. He explained everything that was to be done. All work was completed on time. I'm from Sacramento, but it was well worth the drive to have all of the work completed. read more

This is the best experience I've ever had with an auto repair shop. Seriously, these guys are incredible. I always try to support local & family-owned businesses. I sure am happy that I chose to try Pat's Garage. After having a terrible experience at another SF "Electric & Prius specialist" I didn't really know where to turn but these guys are the absolute best at what they do. Specifically, Forrest took the time to explain every aspect of the repairs done & gave me options to choose for each part. This was a big job that consisted of 3 major repairs to my 2009 Toyota Prius. Forrest gave me a cost estimate & time estimate, better than any shop in the Bay Area. After years of driving in fear of having a random major breakdown, they have restored my peace of mind. I've owned vintage VW bugs, BMWs, Toyota trucks, Hondas, even Vespa scooters. No other garage has gone out of their way like Pat's, to give me the best deal possible, explain every aspect of repairs, do the job quickly, & make me feel 100% secure & happy about the job they have done. If I read this review, I might think it was a paid endorsement, but it is not. That is just how good of a job Pat's Garage does. I can't thank you enough for the wonderful job you've done. read more

Had an issue with my car's engine and made an appointment through Pat's Garage website on January 13th with a few date options. I received an email confirmation on January 16th confirming an appointment for January 26th and a note that they may need to keep the car over the weekend which I had no issue with. Given that the car was having engines, I hired a tow truck to pick the car up to take it from my apartment to the shop across the city. I called the shop while the tow truck was on the way to let them know the car would be on its way to their shop shortly. The person on the phone could not find any record of my appointment, could not find any record of my name, mentioned that she had not sent them email and said she did not know who reached out to me. I re-iterated that I made the appointment on January 13th and received a confirmation on January 16th for January 26th. She could not find any record of it and that I could not bring my car there and their earliest appointment was February 8th. I had to cancel the tow truck that I had already paid for and the response from Pat's was "Oh, that's too bad, I'm sorry". read more

What a garbage fire they created for me! We had both of our cars serviced here for their 150k checkup. A few repairs here and there and they say we have another 100k on our Prius and we are good to go. Currently my Prius is at the dealership garage with the engine being taken apart. The dealership is providing us with a list of all the repairs that WERE NOT DONE and the check engine light on our other car keeps going on. We will be speaking with an attorney later this afternoon. We dropped over 11grand at Pats and our cars are worse off because of it. Now another 7+ for BS work that Pats clearly did not do. Dont bring your car here! read more
