San Francisco's Japanese Auto Repair Specialists

Friendly and knowledgeable people, loved the fact they had past history for our car.

As I wrote on Yelp (excerpted here): Pat is not only a car and motorcycle enthusiast, but also a great person in the world. He is "green" (and so is his shop), and if you look through the huge stack of magazines he has for you to read, you'll see his bigger concerns for the environment, world politics, and more. He loves his clients and we know it. Pat even holds parties for us, complete with food, drink and live music. The evidence is on the walls of his space, along with cool wonders of the world (have you looked at those masks?). Now how many other auto shop owners in SF do this? Let me know if you can name just one. Augie Barone (a deep thinker and a car guy if I ever met one) and Karin Roper (a taxidermy aficionado and a way smart woman of the world) drive the front so smoothly that they earned my respect the day I met them. They guys who work on your car, Richie and Fred, are gifted mechanics (and they're great to look at). My car will be 21 this fall, and I will keep driving it as long as I can because I think we all need to try wearing things out to save off the consumer culture and marketing madness of USAmerica. Although it doesn't have airbags, it has Pat's Garage and an engine that hums thanks to Pat and his crew.

my recent experience was as awesome as always

Prompt, thorough service, with good advice on how to deal with my car's aging condition. Please change the spelling of my first name to sIdney. Thanks.

We purchased a '95 Subaru for college aged daughter. Upon examination it has a number of old car type problems. We were satisfied with first-time visit, will proceed to do the repair and are optimistic that we have found a shop to work with us to keep this older car in good and safe running condition. Will plan to bring my newer, still-under-warranty Subaru here when next work needed.

consistent service. welcoming, informative, and reliable. I don't like having things go wrong with my vehicles (of course), but I always have a pleasant time at this shop.

Pat's Garage is a no fuss, straight to the point type of garage. There's no fussing around. They get you in, do your service and get you out. The staff are amazing, very warm, friendly and easy to talk to. They'll answer any question you have regarding your car.

I love coming to Pat's Garage. Everyone is terrific and I trust them completely. Pat and Augie are great.

The Crew @ Pat's Garage is a great group of people who are a lot of fun to hang out with. Not to mention, they really know their stuff!

i always feel like the team at Pat's has my back -keeping my 23 year old car running safely and me on the road.Karin is always calm, reassuring ,and helpful. This past visit augie was on holiday and Ritchie stepped up to fill his big italian shoes- performing his job with grace and elegance and efficiency.
