Very rude, did not want to talk to me, I was a serious customer looking for work to be done on my car and they would walk away mid conversation and were very dismissive

Best service you could ask for

Finally, an honest and affordable mechanic. They don't take appointments and you'll need to follow their procedure. Straight forward service. The final bill was less than the estimate and my car runs better than it has in a long time.

No doubt this is a very professional auto repair shop, their prices are reasonable, their equipment is professional and most importantly they are very attentive. All in all, I feel very confident to leave my car to them for maintenance and upgrading!

The shop that handled all my tire needs closed. I needed an old tire removed from the rim and a new tire installed. This is one of the only things I have to pay a shop to do. I can do most of the engine work myself. I do have to pay for machine shop work like surfacing a head. I do all the brake work myself and all the a/c work myself. But I can't brake the bead of the tire like the shops. I prefer to pay to have the shops break the bead. I called P & N Auto Repair and was quoted $40 for the work. I drove there one Saturday morning around 7 am. I knew they opened at 8 am so I waited. I rolled down the window and was immediately met with the distinct, unpleasant smell of urine. I had to roll the window up. At 8 am the shop was still closed. No one showed up. At 8:05 the shop was still closed. I decided to wait another 5 minutes and was about to leave when an older Asian man appeared. He unlocked the door and after 5 minutes or so he began to roll up the metal door. I told him I needed a tire changed and he replied that it was $40 per tire. I told him I only had one. A younger Asian man showed up. I got the new tire out of the trunk and placed it on a stack of tires inside the shop. I got the old tire and rolled it inside. The younger Asian man started removing the old tire. He removed the tire from the rim and I handed him a brand new tire pressure sensor. Now when I replace an old stem I simply push it out of the hole on the rim with the tip of a flat screwdriver. I might add a little soapy water first. I then pull the new stem through the hole. I was surprised when I saw the tech use a ratchet to unscrew something. I looked at the sensor I provided and realized that he unscrewed the old sensor and screwed the new sensor onto the old stem. The new sensors come with a new stem. I have always installed the new sensors with the new stem. I questioned him about unscrewing the old sensor and screwing the new one onto the old stem. He replied that they always do it that way. I told him he should have pushed the old stem out and push the new stem with sensor in. There was a third tech there and I told him the same thing. I got the same response. I am dissatisfied with the work P-N did that day and I won't go back. I will find another shop to perform my needed tire work.

Excellent service all around! Best experience I've had at a car shop in the bay. Great price, high quality service, and kind staff. Had my Prius towed here and they got me back on the road the same day for an amazing price. I also appreciate that Calvin patiently explained everything they had found during the diagnosis and went through the different options with me. I will definitely be bringing my car back to this shop!

Had a great experience at here! The service was awesome, and the owner really knows his stuff. They did an amazing job and even cleaned everything up afterward. Super friendly and professional – would totally recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch car work!

Calvin and his Dad Nam are Rockstars, always willing to lend me a hand for anything small or big for any of my projects! Family business you could tell the difference

Friendly, kind employees who answered all my questions and helped me out with quick, quality service ☺️ They also had a nice waiting room and little snacks for while you’re waiting for your car to be serviced. Thank you P & N!

New customers beware. Unless you’re an established customer don’t waste your time coming here. Staff and owner was very rude and unprofessional. Walked into the shop when they opened and they greeted me with “what do you want”. I asked if this was the mechanic shop and that I needed some service done on one of my cars in my fleet. They treated me like I was trespassing. Their shop was empty and staff was sitting around. I could’ve been a steady customer as my fleet needs constant maintenance and services. Their loss!!

Super reasonable nearly insanely low labor price around Bay Area. Calvin was very friendly, helpful, and enthusiastic about cars, he is the GOAT!

Best pricing you will get in San Francisco, very welcoming environment with their newly renovated lounge area and bathroom. I get my oil change here and tire replacements quick servicing if you’re on the go

I am renting a car with Drive Sally for rideshare and have to bring the car here for maintenance. The employees here seem friendly, get you in and out quickly, and have snacks in the waiting area.

I had the worst experience ever in this shop. It’s a lot to say but the long story short you don’t need to be in this Mechanic shop.
Feb 07, 2024
I told them what was wrong with my car, but they changed something else
Feb 07, 2024
Nice service, owner or boss not that friendly ( he doesn't smile, answer with one or 2 words, lol) staffs are nice and friendly.

Quick, no-nonsense and affordable service for flat tire.
Feb 07, 2024
Super nice people. Fast, affordable oil change. They also fixed a weird rattle that was happening on our engine due to a broken piece we didn’t know about. They checked our brakes and tire air without us asking (and let us know they were all good for a while still). Definitely now our go-to auto shop.

The young guy is very disrespectful.
Feb 07, 2024

Feb 07, 2024
bad customer service and bad time management and bad attitude of those who provide the service, I do not recommend the place; It seems that they make fun of the client because they waste time

Excellent service and very reasonable prices! I had an issue with a 2006 Mercedes C230 — check engine light on and battery wouldn’t hold a charge. Diagnostic ($55 — much cheaper than $100+ quoted at other shops) revealed a bunch of error codes. But Calvin suspected everything might be related to the battery issue and the weak electrical input confusing the system. So instead of addressing anything else he recommended starting by replacing the battery only. Got it ordered and repaired same day for $250 (parts and labor), and because I proceeded with the work he waived the diagnostic fee! Replacing the battery fixed everything and the check engine light is now off with the car running perfectly! In addition, they added some air to my tires and refilled the wiper fluid free of charge. An amazing experience, can’t recommend this shop more highly!!!

My Toyota Camry 2017 had head gasket when it had 204000 miles so I went to San Francisco Toyota dealership to do the head gasket they asked me $4500 and they gave me 100000 miles warranty but I didn’t go with them so I went this place they fixed my car and my car now has 290000 miles and no any engine problems and the price way way cheaper than what I was paying somewhere else. عملت الهدكاسكت عندي هذا المحل بارخص كثير من وكالة تويوتا والحين ماشي بسيارة اكثر من ٨٥ الف مايل ولا في اي مشكلة انصح كل واحد يتعامل مع هذا المحل.

My car engine tends to make some noise and doesn’t seem to get enough power when I drive over 60MPH. One time when I was driving at the highway, the engine didn’t pick up at all no matter how much I pressed on the gas pedal and stayed at 45MPH with some noise. I then took it to P&N to have the problem checked. The owner went through some brief inspection and decided that there was no major problem detected. He also patiently explained to me what could be the possible reasons. I also requested to have my license plate installed on my bumper. He did that for me without charging me a penny (even after I offered to pay). Thank you mister! I’m rating 5 stars for your honesty, kindness, and patience! Will definitely return if I ever need auto repair in the future!

Awesome service and great pricing
Feb 07, 2022
I had exhaust work done. I do all my oil changes here. I brought in my dad’s 99 accord for preventative maintenance and replaced the radiator as well as some belts. This shop does a variety of things and the people here are very knowledgeable. Awesome and honest work, competitive pricing, look for Calvin.
Feb 07, 2022
I just had the best experience here. I needed to have something done that I didn't have the tool for. And Calvin quoted me the fairest price for it over the phone. He also just seemed like a really good dude that was happy to help a fellow human and I can't tell you how refreshing that was. Definitely will have all 3 of cars serviced here when needed.
