    All the convenience of owning a car for just a fraction of the price! I've used upshift for about a year now and I've had such a great experience. I often use their cars on weekends and they go out of their way to drop off the car the night before so I can get started with my day bright and early. I've also requested a car on last minute notice and Upshift was able to come through in less than 30m. I'm saving a ton of money by not owning a car, paying for parking, and having to worry about maintenance but still have the convenience of getting a car whenever I need it even on short notice.

    I've been using Upshift for 7 months now and still impressed by the quality of renting service they provide. As far as I live in San Francisco, I decided to not have a personal car because I don't use it on weekdays and I hate looking for parking in my area. Actually, Upshift fulfills all my needs. I make a request in advance (1-2 days) and get a car at any time I need. I really appreciate self-pick-up service at my location - I just leave my building, send a text message when I'm near the car and it gets unlocked and ready to drive me wherever I choose. There wasn't a situation when a car was unavailable - even during the first 3 months of membership when a car was not guaranteed on the holidays, I got it. Upshift is about Toyota Prius. I don't need to get used to a new type of car since I get the same one all the time. Moreover, the park of cars is constantly improving. Recently, I've got Prius of the 2019 year and was the lucky one driving it the first time. A couple more things I'm really happy about. The support service is great. Response time is about 5 minutes in working hours. They addressed all questions instantly via text message or chat on the website. The cleanliness and equipment of cars are perfect. I haven't noticed any defects. On the contrary, I had a phone holder and cables, wipes and a full tank of gas in all the cars I drove. It's not even necessary to refuel a car when returning it! You will be charged for the gas later based on market price with no additional fee. Isn't it great? However, there is still some field for improvement. Concierge hours when a car can be picked up by them are from 8 am to 8 pm. I wish Upshift extended the working hours and I would be able to drop a car off on the streets with the constraints starting from 7 am. Also, I'm eager to see Upshift in Los Angeles. It would help me to take the one-way trip on Prius and therefore I wouldn't use other renting companies at all. It would be spectacular! I'm absolutely happy being a member of Upshift. It eliminates the need for having a personal car in such a pricy city as San Francisco. I'm 100% confident in the quality of service and the cars based on my experience. Thank you very much for such a great opportunity!

    Transparent, Friendly, and No Pressure Car Buying Experience!…read more We had an absolutely amazing experience at San Francisco Acura! We visited many dealerships during our search, and this one definitely stood out from the rest. One of the biggest advantages right off the bat was their great selection, and the fact that both Honda and Acura are under the same roof. We were debating between a Honda Pilot and an Acura MDX, and being able to compare both brands and work everything out in one place made the entire process so much easier and more convenient. Our sales rep, Lis, was truly outstanding. She works with both Acura and Honda, which was a huge plus for us during our decision-making process. On top of that, she speaks both English and Spanish, which makes her accessible and helpful to even more families. From start to finish, she was pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, and never pushy. She guided us through every step of the sales process (and beyond) with patience and clarity. She took the time to explain everything thoroughly so we felt confident in our purchase. We also wanted to add some accessories to our new car, and Lis went above and beyond coordinating with the parts and accessories department, asking all the right questions, and making sure we got exactly what we wanted. Even after we purchased the car, I had what felt like a million follow-up questions, and she never once brushed us off. She was responsive, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure we were completely comfortable and happy with our decision. Her manager, Van, was equally impressive. He was friendly, transparent, and actually came to our desk to work out the final numbers with us no disappearing "behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz." That level of openness and approachability made a big difference. To wrap everything up, Daniella in finance was fantastic. She walked us through every document we signed, explained everything clearly, and made sure all our questions were answered. She was professional, patient, and easy to talk to no pressure, no awkwardness. Overall, this was a top-tier experience from start to finish. When we're ready for our next vehicle, we will absolutely start here again and we will most definitely be referring Lis and her team to our friends and family. Highly recommend!

We scrambled to find an honest shop that could do a good job, and very importantly for us, at a fair price. After a few calls and some suggestions from a couple of people, we came across Gary at GS Autohaus. And I'm very happy that we did find Gary. He did an excellent job getting us a transmission and, while he was under the hood, fixed a few other issues that could be addressed more easily with the transmission out of the way. He did all this at a very fair price in comparison to other shops, and even when compared to dudes working out of their personal home garages . We are for sure going to be taking our cars to GS Autohaus for repairs from now on. Car repairs aren't cheap, and sometimes the need for them comes out of the blue, so you might as well get them done properly, and at a fair price. We all know that there are some crazy price gougers out there in the mechanic business, especially in the Bay Area, let's not give those scumbags any of our money--looking at you Woodside Auto & Tire, in Redwood City, we shouldn't be supporting rip-off shops like that. Give Gary a call and I'm pretty sure you'll be satisfied with his work and price points.
