We just dropped in spontaneously with our van after noticing a weird noise. They squeezed us in right away, fixed the issue in no time and saved our day. Nice people with fair prices!

Driving up from San Diego to Seattle and our radiator cracked outside of San Jose. Couldn't find anyone who could do it same day there but then we found Alouis Auto! Todd understood our situation, got the radiator ordered by the time we pulled in and was able to get it installed by end of the day. He even spent the time to show us a map of the area so we could take the kids to Golden Gate Park while we waited. Super efficient and Kind! He also made sure all other hoses were in shape BEFORE he made me replace them (the other shops suggested I replace all hoses and water pump), they were all still good to go. VERY TRUSTWORTHY MECHANIC!

Todd and team consistently do great work. They've helped us with multiple cars (Subaru, Hyundai, Honda, Dodge), over the course of 10+ years.

Having been a loyal customer of Alouis for decades, I have followed Todd to his various locations over the many years. I have always found the shop to be reliable, professional, and reasonably priced. Recommended strongly.

I really appreciate these folks, I’ve taken two different cars in here and always had transparent conversations about the work needed and cost. Definitely recommend. Todd is great.

Todd is a savant about what's wrong with a car.

Excellent service. They have fixed my Radiator twice, for two separate concerns, and I have been pleased both times.

Great work, would come back again! My air conditioner was faulty on my vehicle, with the correct parts and knowledge, it’s back the way it was, I’m so happy. Thank you, appreciate!! 😊

I've been going to Todd's shop for years to get my BMW fixed. Todd is a really honest guy. He never tries to charge you extra money. He also tells you if your car really needs to be fixed or not. One time, I took my car to Todd because another mechanic said I needed new brakes. But when Todd checked, he said my brakes were still good. I'm really glad I found Todd's shop. It's nice to have a reliable place nearby.

Professional service, courteous staff. These guys know what they are doing.

They keep my car running great!

This is my go to place for my family. This is our 3rd Vehicle with Todd and company and they are friendly while being honest and on the level. Best mechanic experience I consistently have.

Todd & the gang were flexible with a crazy tow schedule, got my truck right in, written est. According to all available literature, fair prices for parts & labor. Everything was completed by the next day. Just one of those old school neighborhood garages that your dad went to for 20 years that you can’t find anymore. Well guess what? At least one still exists, and they fix Minis too, Gen Z😁!

A Louis auto: I, as usual, was delighted with my experience at Alouis. The problems with my car were fixed; the service was done well within the specified time, in a courteous and cheerful manner. Well done Alouis!

Excellent service. Friendly staff and owners. Highly highly recommend

I’ve used Todd for a few years, based on recommendation of a friend. Nothing but positive things to say about him and his team. Will not charge you for unnecessary work. Gives you all the information and you make the decision on what you think is best for you now. Everyone needs their “guy” when it comes to cars, and I’m glad that I found Todd.


Feb 10, 2024

Todd is GREAT!!! My transmission in my 2017 Honda Pilot failed, Todd worked with my insurance company and was able to submit all the needed documentation to them but also was able to get my car from drop off to done in just 4 days. YOU ROCK!! Thanks!!

Gotta hand it to Tod at Alouis Auto Radiator in San Francisco, CA—he's one honest mechanic. Transparency is his jam, which is a rare find these days, especially when some folks prioritize profit over everything else. Had a good chat with Tod, and he really put in the effort to sort out the AC problem in my Ford transit van. I'll give it a spin on some scorching days, but I've got a feeling he did a solid job. Although, gotta say, Tod wouldn't trade his adorable dog for my van. Kinda bummed about that! Just messing around, of course. Happy holidays to everyone!

I just stopped by Alouis Auto Radiator. I thought my 2017 Ford Expedition had AC heater blower issues, but luckily Todd found that it was just running out of water. He added water and it started working immediately. I am grateful for his skills, expertise, and knowledge that saved me time and money today. He didn’t even charge me for the service. I wrote another 5-star review on Google & Yelp about my Ford Transit van they fixed for me as well a couple of weeks ago.

Nice work and fast I'm glad to have your help

Straightforward and accommodating.

Always great service at A. Louis.

Great service. No hidden agenda or cost. Professional.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an exceptional oil change service at a local mechanic shop, and I must say, Alouis give me an outstanding experience. The professionalism and expertise of the mechanics were evident throughout the entire process, leaving me thoroughly impressed. Overall, I cannot recommend Alouis' shop service enough. I left the shop with a well-maintained vehicle, peace of mind, and the assurance that I had found a trustworthy mechanic I can rely on in the future. Celso Bulgatti

I was very happy with the service that I received at Alouis. Highly recommend. Really comfortable lounge if you plan to wait onsite. Alouis Radiator was recommended to us by Phaedrus BMW company, another winner if you happen to own a BMW.

My headlights mysteriously went out on my car and I called the next morning and was able to get in that morning to see Todd. He order the parts and I had my car safe on the road within a few hours. Professional, knowledgable and friendly service.


Nov 10, 2023

Super helpful staff and very responsive. Thank you


Nov 10, 2023

THE go-to place for car repair. The manager is a good person with whom to do business. If you're a canine, you'll get a treat. If you're humanoid, you'll get a story.


Nov 10, 2023

They worked on my older car. Great service. Friendly, professional. Would highly recommend.


Nov 10, 2023

Todd is on it. Had the parts ready to go for my appointment and the AC now works. Not that we need it in SF but for weekends in Napa or the river. Job was finished on time and no surprises. Great place to take your car


Nov 10, 2023

Very experienced mechanic, reasonable prices


Nov 10, 2023

When at home on the phone talking to him I didn't understand quite what he was saying until I got to his shop he explained what was going on I immediately told him to go ahead and finish the work I am very very very satisfied with the job and the prices are perfect


Nov 10, 2023

Work done on time, as promised at a fair price

Very pleased with my experience here. I needed to effectively clear a Check Engin light prior to my SMOG inspection...so the correction that triggered the check light needed to be corrected for the light not to pop back on. After a week of me driving the auto I brought it back in so he could plug into the auto and determine if I was likely to pass. Once I checked out AOK he called a SMOG inspection and made sure I could knock this out the same day. Knowledgeable, thorough, and dependable..
