Showplace Motor Works

"It so so good trusting your mechanic. For 20+ years, I have been dropping vehicles off to Terry and crew without questioning his advice. And picking them up repaired at a beyond fair cost. Several times when I'm out of SF and get a quote, I'll wait until I get back to Show Place and always Terry under quotes the repair and adds a needed service still far below his competitors appraisal. Just a great guy and crew. Always working hard and honest!"

"I was referred to hear by my sister’s fiancé. They have been using him for over 20 years. Terry and his team are the best. They are fast, knowledgeable, fair, considerate, and just all around great people. Last time I brought it in they probably spent 2-3 hours diagnosing a small issue I wanted to get fixed. Found a small leak sealed it and refused to charge me for labor! I literally tried to insist because I expected a decent bill for the time put in but they just smiled and told if I had any issues to bring it back. It’s not the first time this has happened either. They will do right by you and do a good job at a very fair price. I’m just very appreciative I have a mechanic I trust so much. Also, their dog is amazing. I almost wish they had a waiting area so I could hang out with it for longer."

"So happy I found this place. Each interaction I had with the staff was very pleasant. They worked on my car and diagnosed the issue within a few hours. They ordered the parts I needed and had my car back to me the next day. The cost of the repair was way less than I was expecting. I will be referring all of my friends and family to them. It is so rare that you find a quality place like this."

"I just took my car here to replace a radiator and a few other issues, and everyone I interacted with was great; honest, kind, patient, knowledgeable. They found issues that other places had missed on a recent check-up and charged me more fairly than past shops have. I will definitely bring my car back here for any future repairs/inspections! Really nice dog too!"

"My 25-year-old sedan experienced a few minor mechanical problems after its first lengthy post-pandemic road trip. When I returned to SF, I discovered that my long-time auto mechanic had closed his shop after 50 years in business. I did extensive research on multiple auto repair garages, using this rating service on Google Maps, Bay Area Consumer Checkbook, Yelp, NextDoor, and BBB. I found that Showplace Motor Works was one of the few shops that had no negative write-ups. So far, I have been very pleased with the honesty, thorough explanation, and price of the service I received from Terry and his team at Showplace Motor Works. I hope to remain a loyal customer."
