Workers there put in their best effort and will take time to explain issues or such in details. Reasonable prices too. Have recommended this auto shop to my friends and they like their service as well.
I went in to get my struts, bushings, and axels replaced. They fixed the problems I had in a timely fashion (did all that work in 1 day) and at a very affordable rate as well. The mechanics there really know what theyre doing. Truly grateful to have heard about this shop from a friend, especially during these hard times! Will definitely come back in the future for more work done. Thanks guys!
Very quick and reliable service- I had a flat tire, and they were able to repair it in 15 minutes. Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful!
Jonathan and his father are top notch. I cant recommend them enough. If you need anything at all please give them a call or stop by and I assure you they will exceed your expectations. Fair prices and high quality service. They will go out of their way to take care of you. For example, my battery was completely dead and they drove to my garage to give me a jump, the battery was completely dead so they went back and got the new battery and came back to replace, then we drove to the garage and they cleaned everything up. All of this was at 10pm after hours! INCREDIBLE. I would give them 10-stars if I could because that was just one example of the multiple times they have helped me in the past few months. Thanks again!
So grateful to have this business in my neighborhood. Great for routine oil changes and any maintenance work you mighty need done - got a sensor replaced, new tires installed... all work was done professionally, efficiently, and for a fair price. Awesome family-owned and operated business to support if youre in North Beach!
I am not a review writer very often, but I am compelled to tell about the excellent service I received at Bob’s Auto Service.Not only was the service very fair and thorough, but it was done quickly.The personal service was so helpful. I got frequent updates and felt like a very valuable customer.It is so comforting to find car repair that is a part of the neighborhood. I am now a loyal customer.
This is my go-to auto repair shop!! They are so quick and make the process so easy for me.
Super friendly and GREAT service. I was in a bit of a last minute bind to get my tire fixed and they were quick to help, super nice even though it was close to closing time, and fixed the issue. Working great. I will def be back. Next time for my oil change. Hopefully no issues with car between now and then but if there is good to know I have a shop not from from the house.
These guys were great, I brought my car in for a water pump, ac charge and oil change and was recommended drive belt, and transmission fluid change. It was $890 which I thought was reasonable for all of that, and compared to other shops in the city Ive been to.They were really friendly and kept me updated throughout the day, which made it an easy experience.I have an older car (2007) and I definitely have to bring it in more than Id like to, Im bringing it here from new on!
The boss is super nice. He helped me with tire pressure check right after I came in. I was kind of worried at that moment since my tire pressure sensor turned on just before my driving through highway 1. And I really appreciate their kind and prompt service.
I came to this auto shop to have some new headlights installed on my car. The mechanic, Jason, was super helpful. He gave me a reasonable price for the work that needed to be done. He saw how dirty the exterior of my car was and gave me a free wash with it! Not only that, Jason stayed after hours to help me with all this. Very nice guy.
Nicest people, fast service, very affordable. Repaired my flat in minutes! Ill absolutely come back to them for future repairs. Thanks guys!
Very good and quick service! The manager was really good locating the nail in our tyre. Quick service in and out in 10 mins. Thank you.
Very good and fast service great price also great family business appreciate the great and quick break pad swap
Had an extremely pleasant experience at Bobs Auto Service. My friends and I were on a road tip in SF, when we experienced an extremely concerning car difficulties that impaired our ability to safely drive. After searching for auto shops nearby, we decided to bring our car for inspection at this location. Entering the location, we were welcomed by Bobs son who provided a friendly welcome, and listened to our concerns. His communication was immaculate as he gave us updates on the inspection and repair. Similarly, Bob provided a detailed explanation of what was wrong with my car and relief during this stressful time. He detected an ongoing issue that Ive consulted other mechanics for; however, Bob was the only one who successfully pinpointed the source of my cars issues. Not only that, he completed repairs the same day, so we would not have to be stranded in SF or have potentially life-threatening complications on the way back home.TLDR; I would recommend Bobs Auto service for the professionalism, expertise, and reasonable pricing.
Jason, the mechanic who helped me, was extremely professional and helpful even though, as I could tell, he was very busy. I brought my car in an hour before they closed on Saturday and was able to get my tires replaced by Monday early afternoon (they were closed on Sunday). Im impressed and very pleased about the promptness of their service.
I called around 9am for an estimate and they were able to get me in at 10:30am (the same day) for a quick repair. Would definitely come here for other car service needs.
I ran over a nail in the late afternoon, and I had to get my tire patched otherwise I couldnt drive home. Even though it was almost closing time and it was a last minute request, Bobs auto service still told me to bring my car in. I actually got my tire patched after their official closing time! They gave me a reasonable price, the mechanic and receptionist were extremely friendly, and they got the job done in no time at all. Highly recommend this shop!
My family has been coming here for years. Always give great service and have fair prices. Friendly and helpful staff.They also work in a timely manner. This is my go to repair shop
Bobs is a great value repair shop. Its a family owned business and they really took great care of customers concern. They went over and above of what repair was needed. Highly recommended.
I went in to get my oil changed and was so impressed by the service, communication, and helpful staff! I never once felt pressured to get something fixed that I didn’t want. They changed my oil and replaced my front tires which were super worn down for an incredibly fair price. I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable mechanic at a fair price!
Brought my car down to Bobs. Professional and friendly. Great communication and fair pricing. They found and fixed the repairs needed to clear smog check, smogged it after repairs were done and as requested changed my oil as well. They then gave me some notice of some things that still need attending. Great service! Will return again!
Great car repair shop. I left my car at 5pm on Tuesday and it was ready the very next day at 4. The son of the mechanic who manages customer car is really cool, updating you all the time of the status through text messages. Based on my previous experiences with mechanics in SF, this shops also seems to be really affordable.
These guys did an excellent service on my car, they changed my four tires and it was perfect.The price very reasonable, super fast. I recommend this place
Got my car serviced at Bobs today! My check engine light had been on awhile and I was expecting the worst. They were very helpful and open to questions as I know nothing about cars. Also super quick service! I appreciate their hard work!
These guys are awesome! Super fast and friendly service for very reasonable prices. Ill definitely be back.
Jonathan was very professional and quick to help me out! Helped me fix a flat tire and get a smog check for a great price. Definitely will be going back!
The starter on my car died today and by some miracle it started up one more time so I was able to drive it to Bobs. The dad and son duo were amazing to work with, diagnosing the problem almost immediately once my car died again in their parking lot. The dad was able to get it fixed along with replacing my front brakes, which he saw were down to 20%, all in 2 hrs! Earlier than the original estimated pickup of 3.5 which still wouldve been incredible considering it was a Sat afternoon. Great communication via text too with his son. While not thrilled this happened to begin with, super grateful I was able to get my car back in a super timely manner and in working order. Very reasonable prices too! Would gladly go back for future maintenance or repairs.
My side mirror got hit and I went to Bob’s Auto Service since it was nearby. The whole process was very quick and professional, it was in and out. Hope they will continue to get more business and continue to strive for client excellence.
Very prompt service. Friendly and good quality. Fast, and were able to accommodate me on a Saturday evening!
Very good prices and quality tires nice staff professional workers and very fast process
I had a great experience with these people. They were very expert in their field. They communicated the progress on daily basis from beginning throughout the finishing.
I had such a great experience at Bob’s Auto Service! I needed an oil change and they were able to squeeze me in and do my oil change at a totally fair price and they also found out I had a nail in my tire (yikes) and fixed it for a very affordable price. They texted me through everything and it didn’t take long at all. I didn’t know trustworthy car places in the city still existed, so happy I found Bob’s auto service! Definitely will be back.
Prompt and professional service! I appreciate how they contacted me before completing the recommended services. Came in at 1 and had oil change, brake and transmission fluid replaced and my car was ready for pickup that evening.
This is thus far the best auto body shop to me in SF. Service is great and excellent! And most importantly, the price is very affordable comparing to other body shops. I did an oil change today, they even offered me a discount, the best price ever! I will definitely be returning for their service again . Highly recommend it!
They changed my oil and front rotars/break. Reasonable pricing, efficient service, and great communication. Will be back.
Been coming here for well over a decade and they are always quick as well as provide fair prices. Definitely my go to spot for car maintenance and repairs.
Ive been taking my Ford Escape to Bobs for over a year to get about everything done for my car. Brakes, smog, oil change, tires, and AC tune up. Every time they have been quick to respond over Google or phone, and even providing updates over text. Its always been a very quick turnaround to get my vehicle back, and always extremely professional and easy. Ill always recommend Bobs to anyone in the city!
Through a recommendation of a friend, I was sent to Bobs because of an auto accident. They did great work on my car. Overall the finish was very nice 👌 They even did an inspection on my vehicle afterwords as well. Very nice and professional mechanics. I am very happy I went to Bobs! I found a new mechanic for life 👍🚘 Jason and his son are professional to the core!
Bob’s is the best. They were very professional, answering all my questions and provided great service. I definitely recommend Bob’s.
Super friendly! I did my tire repair and replaced brakes pads. Super efficient!
I was able to bring in my car and it was fixed and ready for pick up later in the same day. They were very communicative, efficient, and friendly. The pricing was very reasonable and they explained all the work that was needed thoroughly. I will definitely bring my car in for any of my future needs!
I had nails in a few tires and Bobs was able to take my car in the same day. Excellent customer service! 100% would go back again! These guys are the best
Great service and great mechanic. I got major engine work done on my Honda and am pushing 300,000 miles because of these guys and their ability to keep engines alive!
Honestly one of the best shops in San Francisco. Brought multiple cars in and left with them basically brand new without any of the extra charges. They give you fair pricing, let you know what’s the problem ASAP, keeps you informed throughout the process, and they’re fast. They’re usually packed so I’d definitely recommend calling in to schedule a appointment! Highly recommend!
Very friendly and helpful. Both times I have visited, they have gotten me in and out quickly!
I had a missing screw for my brake caliper and he wanted to rip me off and charge me $100. I bought the park for $10 at o reileys went to another tire shop who put it in for me at $30. I do work on my own vehicles and this place will try to rip you off because your female and they think your dumb. I know better!
Need new tires for my 2018 Malibu in a pinch (woke up to a flat)... they were right down the street so figured ot would be easy. They are family owned and very friendly. They didnt push the most expensive tires on me.... got a great deal and they had me in and out in less than 45 minutes! I will use them again.
Great experience with Bobs to get the brakes replaced on my Toyota Yaris. Messaged the owner through here and got a quick response. Walked me through the needed service via text after I dropped off my car and got same-day service. The staff there was nice, friendly, and courteous.
I love Bob’s! They are quick, friendly and do a great job. I also love the location in North Beach right on Columbus, so there’s tons of great coffee shops restaurants and stores to check out while you wait. Also a quick walk to fishermans wharf and the water. Thanks for being my go-to spot for tune ups and oil changes!
If I were to describe my experience in three words they would be: thoughtful, quick and inexpensive.Thank you Jonathan and your dad for swapping a new tire in under an hour 🙏
Bobs is great. Ive gotten an oil change/service and had to have my hybrid battery replaced. Regular service is super affordable. Hybrid batteries, on the other hand, are expensive AF which is an unfortunate surprise, especially when your IMA light comes on a mere 6 months after your 10 year warranty expires. But Bob and his son Jonathan are super helpful and kind. Even though paying 3k for my car was not the birthday present to myself I had in mind, Im grateful to have a local neighborhood mechanic I feel I can trust. They also replaced my broken driver-side visor free of charge which was a lovely gesture even if the cost of batteries still stings.
Good pricing and quick results. Will be going back for future auto services
BOB IS A THIEF. These other reviews must be fake. Bob claimed to have fixed a part of my car. He then showed me a website claiming that it took 20 hours. He then charged me for 20 hours of labor. I found out later that it only takes three hours to fix the part. After all of that, my car still was not fixed. I ended going to an honest mechanic- Chows Automotive on 384 7th St. He truly fixed my car for a fraction of the cost. I am in the process of filing a formal complaint against Bob with the Bureau of Automotive Repair of California. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING AWAY FROM BOB.
Excellent customer service and great prices! Bob’s helped me out with some unexpected car troubles right away - really appreciated their help during a stressful time.
Came here to see if I could get my AC checked out and they managed to find other problems that a few other auto repairs didn’t find on their inspections. Definitely coming back here as they have competitive diagnostics and repair prices. Highly recommended.
My daughter lives in San Francisco and I live in connecticut we shipped her out a car this week she received thursday when she was driving it home she heard a noise under the hood that concerned her, being her father and in the automotive business being 3000 miles away and not being there to help wasnt a great feeling So we had to find a garage to diagnose the issue I googled garages in her area and Bobs auto service came up with inpressive reviews .I called that night and got jonathan on the phone we made a appt for the next day. She dropped off at 3:00 pm and within 15 minutes received a phone call saying the noise was 2 loose exhaust shields the cost to repair was $80 and would be taken care of the same day. There professionalism & honesty were a breath of fresh, would highly recommend jonathan & his father for any of your automotive needs!!
Such a great location & such friendly/wonderful service! Definitely recommend!
Fast and reliable. Really friendly guys.
Effective work! Jason is patient and nice
Bob’s was the best! I’ll be coming back here every time (only wish I’d known about them prior) - great communication & great value.
2 weeks ago I woke up to my Jeep having been vandalized overnight and hopped on google to find a nearby mechanic I could have it towed to. Within 10 minutes of messaging them - I had a response from Bob’s Auto Service (Jonathan is AMAZING) and we got to work.They submitted everything to my insurance within a day (two tires and my fuel tank!) and despite the struggles with getting a finalized estimate from the claims adjuster - the work was done within 24 hours once the dust settled. The entire process they stayed in communication with me, helped assuage my concerns, and were so kind to answer all my questions (not to mention the patience with my insurance company...)Finding a forever mechanic is one of those “adult goals” and I’ve found mine! Never felt misled or like I was being taken advantage of as a woman either!Thanks for getting my Jeep back on the road!
Great experience with the guys yesterday, will be back for sure. Keep up the good workThanksRob
Ladies listen up!! These are great people and knowledgeable mechanics. Helped me out many times when I was in need and explained step by step of what my car needed, what the repairs are for and why it was recommended. Never tried to rip me off and up sell me things I didn’t need. Many friends have recommended me to Bobs after I had a terrible experience with another shop. Great people highly recommend them. They’re the best! I feel safe knowing I wouldn’t be taken advantaged of 👍
A good friend of mines have recommended me to Bobs after I had an engine failure on my Nissan Rogue. The mechanics are knowledgeable, friendly and gave me good advise. At the end, he advised us not to replace the engine because the car isn’t even worth its value and the mileage on the car is already super high. Surely enough I spoke with my spouse and she agreed the same. Knowledgeable, friendly & honest mechanics. What more can you ask for? My wife’s car is due for an oil change and 30k service. I will definitely be returning back and using their services. Great people, great mechanics and super honest!!!
Bobs was fast, fair and pain free. Highly recommend
Took my Q5 here to get my rotors and pads installed. Jonathan was awesome to work with and they did a great job -- was done faster than other places and priced better too! Will definitely be back again.Thanks folks!
Amazing service!! My wife and I are on a road trip traveling from Vancouver, Canada, heading south and lost a wheel bearing on our pick up. We were so fortunate to only be about a block away from Bob’s shop. Jason, the mechanic diagnosed the issue and found a part and ordered it for the same day. He worked overtime and fixed it so that we could be back on the road that evening! Highly recommend this shop! Very friendly people and wonderful service!
Jason is such a nice guy and for the longest time I don’t know why I thought his name was Bob but I kept calling him Bob and he never corrected me. I only realized this when I brought my my mother here who knows him and she heard me call him Bob, she had no hesitation to correct me. His friend the Lady at the desk is also really sweet and Jason’s son helps out around the shop too. He’s a chill homie. I love how this is a local family business. Being a north beach native i love supporting the locals. Bob, just kidding.. JASON, works 6 days a week until late in the evening. His prices are fair and his work is great. What I am most fascinated about is how Jason does almost everything from engine swaps, to wheel and tire/ alignment, work, as well as window replacement. The man does it all! He’s like four auto shops in one!!! I definitely recommend him next time you get a flat tire, your engine blows up, or if a crack head smashed your window to steal the bag you left on the seat (HIDE YOUR STUFF IN FRISCO!) ! Go check out BOB .. I mean Jason;)
Passing through SF, I had a problem with my tire monitoring gauges on a dually. I could not continue on any freeway until this was addressed.I called these guys, and were the only ones in the area who bothered to squeeze me in for a quick fix.I truly appreciate it--I pulled into their lot and I was on my way very quickly after they did their thing. They topped-off my air and I was out!Im from out-of-town, but I ask you to give these guys a try with your business. I know if Im ever in future need of car service in SF, this is the place Ill be calling first!
Bob’s Auto is fantastic. I drive a 2005 Toyota Sequoia with over 200,000 miles. They’ve helped me to keep it running well and do it in a way where I’m only fixing what’s needed, which keeps costs low. I only go to Bob’s!
Oil changes and tire repairs are done quickly and professionally. On top of that customer service is very good. Will be coming back for more car related problems!

This is the first time I took my car to Bob’s auto. They quickly diagnosed my car problem, made recommendation and fixed it. The maintenance service is also excellent— a new driving experience after leaving the shop! Thanks Bob’s.

All the employees were great and knowledgeable. I took my car there for maintenance and I was extremely pleased with the service and the finished product. Thanks so much guys!
Very fast oil change. Very honest. Definitely a very good place to go.
Brought my early 2000 car in to get my brake pads replaced, battery replaced, and check on an engine issue. I brought in my own brake pads so I only paid for labor.The past week my car was having an ignition issue, super weak anytime I started up the engine. At bobs they diagnosed it quickly to be a battery issue and it was a fast job!In the past they helped me with several flat tires with fair prices so I knew I could trust them with my brakes, battery, and engine issues. Any time my car needs tuning or fixing Ill be bringing it to bobs.Also - if you check in on yelp and spend more than $250 on labor costs, you get 10% off!
Jason is honest and very kind. My catalytic converter was stolen from my Prius. I lived in the neighborhood but I was afraid to move the car from my street parking space to his shop; he walked with me to the car, drove it (even though it sounded ridiculous loud with the part), and worked with my insurance promptly to get things done. The quote for the part was very much aligned with what I read online. He is super honest. I am very thankful for him and his kindness.
Amazing service! Very fast and friendly
Great friendly staff. Honest and straight forward. Got everything done in the amount of time they predicted. They are the best!
Great, responsive and friendly people! Highly recommend!!
I brought my Mercedes Benz for a tire change and a oil change. My tires were all worn out and cracked on the side. The mechanic recommended me Goodyear Tires and Kuho Tires because they are popular and good for my vehicle. They are stable and the tires look really really good. More importantly, the mileage on the tires will last. I ended up getting the all season tires for Goodyear. He did 2 Tires for me for $260 with installing and balancing the tires. For the oil change, he was able to do it for $85.00 with Full Synthetic oil too! Plus, I got a 10% off labor discount because my bill exceeded $250.00. I saved money and found a new place to bring in my car. They did a great job, provided excellent service and was professional throughout the work. I would highly recommended them to anyone who needs a car service/tire or oil change!
They have always been upfront, honest & communicative. The work they have done for us has been quality & timely.
As a “city person,” who doesn’t drive much, I was a bit unprepared when my 2013 Prius completely broke down on me while crossing the bay bridge on my way to work. When roadside assistance asked what shop I wanted to take my car to, I chose Bob’s simply because it was the closest to my work.After dropping the car off and arriving to work, my boss had nothing but good things to say about Bob’s which definitely reassured me. I was further assured when Jonathan from Bob’s texted me right away with the initial diagnostics and options for next steps.I understand that the Prius and hybrid systems in general are quite complicated but Jonathan and his father definitely have expertise in these models. They were super helpful through my lengthy questions and were always honest and professional.I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a mechanic who is communicative and will work with you in a very honest way.
I barely had time to park and the car tire was already fixed lol Competitive prices as well and opens later than the competition
It’s my first time coming here. One of my friends recommended me to come to Bobs after I’ve been to 4 other mechanics and they couldn’t find out the problem with my Chevrolet. Within the same day, they found the problem with my check engine light code misfiring and finished the job within a day and a half. I’m very grateful for their help and I’ll be definitely coming here from now on.
Had struts (shocks)put on the front of Lexus IS 350.jason did a good job and inexpensive very honest kind and efficient.highly recommend these guys.
Bobs did a great job at changing my brakes. They were able to do them the same day. One thing that made me happy was that if they havent noticed that my tires were almost all out, I wouldve never known and couldve been in danger. They were able to replace my back tires the same day and gave me a price that I could have afforded. Will definitely come back for their services!
Just moved here from Sacramento and needed a oil change my Audi. The manager I worked with was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. This is a very nice place because they dont pressure you into replacing something you dont need to do. Very professional mechanics that are fairly priced and gets the job done rapidly with complete estimates and invoices. Also while at it, the mechanic even checked if all fluids are okay, filled and visually checked for all other parts as well and made sure everything is okay. Highly recommend this place and will take my car here for future services definitely.
Bob is awesome! My oil and brakes are long long overdue. Decided to stop by Bobs because they were the closest to me. My car is a 2016 BMW X5. For the oil change, they used Full Synthetic Motor Oil and made sure the fluids are still good. He did my brakes and even showed me how close the brake pads were almost gone. Went into details and gave me very helpful advise and tips to keep my brakes healthy and to prevent them from going gone. Work was done the same day and I couldn’t be happier. He even saw that my back light bulb was broken and replaced it for me for free because he did not want me having a “fix it” ticket. Even I didn’t know my back light bulb was broken! All I can say is he’s a good person and a fantastic mechanic! Glad I stopped by Bobs today!
Best auto shop in San Francisco, Great service!
My car was making unusual noises, the brake lights and the check engine light came on at the same time, and my car wouldnt start. So, I brought it over to Bobs Auto Service to get it checked out. The mechanic easily determined within seconds and told me that the Alternator had problems and that the Alternator would cost around $500 for my Nissan. He did a great job, and within the same day, I got my car back! Car is back to normal and feels much more powerful. Will definitely recommend them.
Bobs changed my Engine Control Module on my 2005 Ford Truck. They did an amazing job and definitely gave me a good price. The quote was $1,520, which was cheaper than the quotes other mechanics gave me. The quote was aprox $280 cheaper than other shops. Glad I came to the right place for my Ford. Pleasant service and will defiantly be back!
My car wouldnt start up on a Saturday morning. I had to call AAA to get my car towed. According to the AAA towing guy, theyre quick, inexpensive, professional and gets the job done quick. I said okay and got the car towed to Bobs. According to the mechanic, my Honda Pilot needed a new starter. The owner quoted me $400 flat for the starter. Called up other places and was quoted $650. My Honda was ready to be picked up at the end of the day and couldnt be more happier. I have to do my brakes soon and I know who Im going to go to now.
Called to see if a tire could be fixed right away if we brought it in right then, and they said yes. And they took it right away and fixed it in about 10 minutes! We would recommend Bobs Auto Services highly!
These guts worked WITH me when for over a month it seemed like Geico Insurance claims adjusters and appraisers were all against me...I will be using Bobs Auto for everything & anything. I trust them for myself and all of my specialty auto needs. I have recommended them to my friends & acquaintances, and in every case they said the same things.
