Ali, Hassan and Mauricio went way above and beyond to fit me in due to travel issues including staying open late on a Friday. They were very communicative through the process which is helpful. In the end, they gave me an extremely fair price for the repairs and labor so I would go back in a moment for any other car needs. They have a strong depth of knowledge for cars which I appreciate. Finally, they truly care about customers and making sure they run a great small business. The owner always makes sure your car is washed before being sent out and does it himself most times. This is what you hope for in a repair shop! I highly recommend trying them if you need a new repair shop for your imports!

Brought the car for a checkup before a long trip to the Midwest and to my surprise the car needed a lot more work than anticipated. Thankfully, The guys here managed to get ready for me in no time. Very professional and great value compared to other places in the SF area. Thanks again for the amazing service.

Embarcadero Automotive are always fast, reliable, fair priced, knowledgeable, and they always do the repairs I need done correctly! Which in itself is fantastic!!If I ever have questions they are always more then happy to answer me and show me what they are doing and why. Great company that I highly recommend.

I highly recommend this shop. I had my BMW diagnosed at the dealer and the dealer and quoted me over $3500 to replace fuel injectors and spark plugs. Embarcadero automotive did all that plus an oil change and replaced an oxygen sensor for less than half the price. Car was ready the next day and they even delivered it to my house. Just Wow!

These guys are the best! Been taking my car there for years. Straight shooters.

Ali has been caring for my vehicles which of all been BMW for the past eight years. He has always done a fantastic job. Allie is very trustworthy and does excellent work. I have referred my family members and friends. I would recommend to any to come and give Ali a visit for any of your car troubles. The staff is also very friendly and easy to work with.

I’m glad I went to Embarcadero Automotive repair before I read any reviews! They did a great work on my Cadillac. I went to a different shop and they said they couldn’t do do job I have to go to the dealer (dealers cost away too much ) I called and there was Hassan he was friendly and professional and honest I’m not sure all mechanics are, I told him the problems I was having and the work I needed done, so he called Ali the mechanic and the owner of the shop to confirm that they could do job since i had a lot work to be done the guy was super nice he even offered me a discount and fix my tier for no charge and the best part he washes my car.. After the repair my car my car feels super smooth. I recommend this shop to all who need an honest and good mechanic that will do the work for reasonable price.Thank you Al, see you again,

All of the coolant flowed out of my SAAB, which meant there was a leak somewhere. I had no choice but to bring my car in to find where this leak was & fix it.Ive been going to Embarc. Auto for my SAAB repairs for about 4 yrs. now. Theyre very friendly, do very good repair work, but their prices are very high. I guess thats b/c theyre SAAB specialists and it goes w/the territory. But I think that, since Im low-income & a regular customer, it would be fair if they gave me a discount for being such a good customer.So, it was nice of them to take my car in right away, since it had no coolant flowing & had to be towed. It turned out to be a broken hose. The hose cost only $60, but the final cost for replacing it was $500+! I guess their rate for labor is rather high.

Ali did a fantastic job on my car. Every time I need something done on my car he alerts me and describes to me what needs to be done and why. My car always feels and runs like I just drove it off the lot. Fairly price with upmost quality. 10/10 would recommend.

Friendly, welcoming mechanics who quickly got to the heart of the problem (brake light switch preventing start). Hassan fixed that, and inspected my brakes to let me know what will be needed soon. He added a quart of oil and showed me how to read the dipstick properly. His partner also removed the paint transfer from a fender scrape, and washed the car before I left. The charges were within the estimate and reasonable. Great job!

This shop is Awesome! The guys are great and professional. Try them out you will be happy just like me. Thanks guys!

I brought my car here after trying 4 other auto places for tires. Embarcadero Automotive was the only place I felt like I was getting personal and professional assistance the mechanic that worked on my vehicle was extremely competent and took good care of my baby. I was in and out in no time with exceptional service! Definitely recommend!!!!!!

This was my first time at Embarcadero, and they were friendly, efficient and an all around joy to have work on my ancient Volvo. I recommend them heartily to anyone who needs service on either an older or newer car!

Courteous service, delivered when promised, showed me the work that was done.

Great experience, all around.Took my van in last minute for a water pump, did the service and got it back by the end of the day. I have had no problem with the work they have done.I came back and they were washing my van !so refreshing to find a shop that cares about the costumer, and takes pride in their work.Felt great to support this shop, and would recommend them for sure.

Not only did they repair the master cylinder, they degreased the engine compartment and washed the vehicle, they were courteous professional and on time and it was affordable. I will use the service shop again.

This place took incredible care of me!! My car wouldn’t start because the ignition switch went bad and I was stranded at Trader Joe’s. I called Embarcadero Auto and the owner was very polite and professional and thoughtfully walked me through what would be needed to fix my car and the pricing- which was incredibly fair and reasonable. He stayed late to meet the tow truck driver with my car and sent pictures of my car when it arrived. He also sent me pictures of the work that was done on my car- cool and classy move. My car was ready the next day and I went to pick it up and they even WASHED it before I left!! I will use this business for literally anything I need done with my car from now on. These guys rock! Give them your business!

I will only ever trust my SAAB 9-3 to Embarcadero Automotive because they know EVERYthing about SAABS! Absolute EXPERTS and so pleasant to deal with. They always treat me and every other customer like a VIP and even do a quick hand wash of your car upon departure. What exceptional service!!! They are THE BEST!!!

German (Herman) will go above and beyond for your automotive needs. He was able to help me out when I needed work done to my car and was very accommodating for my time. The shop is very clean and well kept, a clear sign that the team who work there are organized and take care of their tools, which ultimately is a reflection of how they will perform their service.I came here again recently to get some tires changed and was able to get it done quickly during my lunch break. Amazing!His prices are very competitive and cares about his customers. He took care of my Honda S2000 and Ill be coming back for more work in the future.

Wonderful service, for a good price and a quick turnaround. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs someone trustworthy to take their car to!

These guys are great. Im so glad to have them in the neighborhood. All my issues were handled professionally and promptly, I will definitely keep them as my mechanics.

I’ve been going to Ali for years and he is simply the best and most friendly mechanic ever!

Embarcadero Automotive is excellent for all of your automotive needs. Everyone is so friendly, professional and skillful from vintage automobiles to the latest models.

Have brought my Saab here for various issues and Ive always left knowing they will do the right thing. Prices are good and the service is great. Glad I dont need to leave the city to get auto service.Thanks for being great!

I’ve always gotten prompt and excellent service from these guys.... not a “Saab” story😀

The service was efficient and staff was very pleasant

They are excellent, knowledgeable, and gives estimates.

German not only knows cars very well, but he really cares about his customers and it shows through his customer service and his attention to details. Plus, hes just a really nice guy. And so is his mom, Vilma. A family run business that I highly recommend.

Auto Analysis is the only place we will take our cars. German has kept excellent care of our cars since 2005. He does great work and his prices are very fair. If you need anything from a oil change to a new transmission German will get it done on time and with outstanding results. I highly recommend Auto Analysis for all of your cars service and repairs!

Herman is fantastic. He does great work and is always available for advice/questions about my cars. He represents the best elements of a high quality local business that has been around for a long time.

Look for the Embarcadero Automotive sign on the outside. Great and friendly service!

Experienced the greatest service here today from the nicest owner German. Will take my car here from now on in the city. Thank you so much!

German, the owner is knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and trustworthy. He gives straightforward estimates and comes in at or under them. He doesnt try to over-sell, but instead focuses on your vehicles issues and solving them. Ill be a regular here from now on.

Auto Analysts have been taking care of my cars since the 1990s. They are the reason I can drive a 21 year old car! They do good work but, more, they see your business as a relationship. They dont do unnecessary work, rather they help you plan maintenance into the future, because they want you to come back as happy customers. I know Im gushing but, seriously, theyre the best!

Dont remember going tare

Excellent customer service! Great auto care and reasonably priced, I would recommend any and everyone to this shop!

Helpful, thorough, knows what they are doing and are very nice people. It’s great to find an auto repair place in SF that I can trust.

Herman has been the most articulate & personable automotive technician I’ve worked with, a fact that’s resulted in consistent repeat business from me over the past 4 years. I’ve not experienced the new address yet, hopefully it’s as good or better than 80 Welsh.

Herman is very professional and competent. I feel like Im getting an honest deal and quality work for the variety of issues my car has had (rattles, check-engine lights, and various smaller issues,) which is obviously important when looking for a mechanic. The shop is shared with Otto Werks (I think?) so it may be a bit confusing when you walk in.

Ive been bringing my cars to Auto Analysts for over 15 years. I have always found them accommodating, professional and straight forward with their work. I would highly recommend going to them for service.

Costumer service is top notch!

Very professional guy, reasonable price and quick fixed ! Good job !!!

The team at Auto Analysts is just terrific. Ive trusted the care of my Beemer there for years. They are practical in their recommendations and honest. They also have a good network of other service centers - for example for glass repair and body work that have all been great.

Herman is an auto mechanic whom you can trust! I now call him MY AUTO MECHANIC!I brought my 2004 Volvo wagon in for some serious work that 2 other mechanics could not figure out and actually made problems worse by misdiagnosing the problem.Herman figured it out and fixed it in record time! He also explained everything to me and offered options for ordering parts to save a little money.I had another issue and I called him while on the road and a really big potential problem was averted. Thanks, Herman!This shop is not inexpensive but in SF who is thats any good?The only issue I have is that it is not open for extended hours so that was a little awkward for me. And of course, my ex-BF used fixed everything for me for free!

German and his family are always very professional, will offer options and the efficient work is on point!

I am so happy I found Autoanalysis, I got help with a problem that other shops never found . Knodlege and common sense is hard to find together, and is the only you need to resolve your car problems . Thanks so much German (owner) you get it off my headache, same my precious time and money . Highly recomend this place specially if you are women and dont know anything about cars .

Herman and his technicians are awesome! I highly recommend Auto Analysts!

German Lara and Auto Analysts are always straightforward, clear, honest, and accurate. Ive been taking my 1996 BMW M3 to them for years, and their work has always been impeccable.

Best Saab mechanics in the Bay Area. Also honest and use good judgement

Excellent service, very professional, and very convenient. I will always take my cars here.
