Brake Plus of Daly City

Needed a smog check for my hybrid vehicle. The law have changed. Found this coupon on
For $ 21.75! What a deal! Got there 5 mins before 9 am and the mechanical guy was a dousch. Being the first one there, he made me wait 15 mins and then jacked up the prices to $ 70 bucks!
Really?
Don’t come here FYI! Not worth the drive or the mental headache.

I went for a break and light inspection. Stanley Fung said there was many many things wrong with my van. I went back to a trusted shop that I’ve dealt with for years and years had everything on his list fixed perfectly. He still said that my van was pulling hard to the right. I said that I disagreed with that and asked him to prove it to me. He took me for a drive and continually slammed on my brakes and pulling the wheel with his hand to the right (Felt like he was purposely trying to break my braking system) and stated to me you see it pulls to the right and I said yes when you pull the steering wheel to the right that’s what happens. They are cheaters and thieves and charge me $ 160 for nothing! They will find problems on your vehicle that did not exist and if you do not let them do the work they will find a reason not to pass you! DON’T GO THERE YOU’LL BE SORRY!

This place has awful service Stan is very rude no customer service skills do not go here to rent a Uhaul and do not go here for service to your vehicle there is another Uhaul dealer at 5500 Mission St (Grants Auto Service) and for your car go to Hilltop Auto Service 20 Theta St in Daly City Owner Is Don great guy!
If you scroll down these people has 1star from almost everyone that has written a review!

Arrived around 1:00pm to get a Uhaul, which would make it my second time at this exact location. Never going here again. I was looked at like a stranger and as soon as the inspector arrived and departed after writing him up about some other complaint about a mistake with another payment, I was treated with no help, my time was not considered like I considered his. I stayed quiet and played my patience until he closed shop. And wasn’t able to work with me because he was dealing with stress of his own or something. Don’t come here when Andrew Lee is busy, you just might save yourself some time and feel comfortable with somebody whose willing to put effort to help. Not make you wait and repeat processes until he can no longer help. Wasting my time writing a review. This place needs to be out and replaced with a better company, or at least the front desk guy needs to help people out more when one is patient with them. Miss Stanley

I called these clowns yesterday to make an appointment to bring my car in for a smog check — I was told that no appointment was necessary and I could just show up at 9am. I show up at 9 and the place is locked up with nobody around. I waited 15 minutes They wasted my time

Needed a brake and light certificate for the DMV so I could get my cars registration.
This shop said $ 79.95 for each so total was around $ 160.00… Screw that!!!
I went down the street to San Pedro road where they have a few shops there and got it done for $ 110.00 !!!
Keep going there if you like getting ripped off.

Just came back from the regular oil cjange for-​my Honda CR-​V. Stanley (asian dude) helped me out at the front desk to get me going. It was pretty slow in the morning for them, but that means faster service for me. One of the mechanics topped off the fluids and checked the brakes etc. in addition to the oil change. Took no longer than 30 minutes and I couldnt be more happier to get on with my day. Thank you Brake Plus guys!

We’ve had excellent service on our smog checks. Kevin is always so nice and friendly to customers. Bringing in another car this week for them to smog

I had a smog coupon. Cash only and a good deal. I drive in the guy says extra twenty because its an suv. Its a rav 4 which is basically a camry, why is it twenty dollars harder to smog. Anyway the guy has an attitude so i left. Paid someone the same price he wanted but its ok because this guy wasnt an asshole.

Tha scrawny, asian receptionist is rude. Seems like she doesn’t like her job, she shouldn’t be acting like that with customers. Def not going back there.

The review from above sums up my experience from this uhaul location. The pimple-​faced Asian chick is so dumb (an understatement by the way) that she doesn’t understand the UHaul contract which was already written in PLAIN English. She tried to threaten me with bogus additional charges. Unfortunately for her I deal with contracts on a daily basis. She got owned when I pointed out the contract terms, so she started being rude and combative. If you need to rent a UHaul truck, go somewhere else and avoid this place like a bubonic plague.

I’ve gone to Brake Plus of DC for renting a U-​Haul and trying to get a smog check– what a big mistake.
First– the U-​Haul service, which seems innocuous at first glance, but trust this unassuming business is devious as can be. What I thought I would have paid a flat rate of $ 79.99 for a day of renting a U-​Haul turned out to be an additional $ 50 in hidden fees– WTF?! really?! And after reading and obsessing over the receipt, I could not understand why I had gotten charge additional $ 50!
Second– I saw an ad in the weekly flier for a $ 18 smog check which I was in need of and so I decided to go back to this hell hole — fool me once… (well, you know the saying!) Anyways, I brought in my car, the lady glanced at me and told me to park close by and wait in my car since there were cars ahead of me. So I parked close by but after 20minutes of waiting in my car, I came outside and asked the nearby mechanic when my turn was up– his relpy, «I don’t know, I just know what the girl hands me…» Okay, not his fault that his co-​workers can’t communicate with what is going on but his underlying attitude in his answer was more than unacceptable.
Alright so I asked the mechanic, «So, how much longer do you think it’ll be until you can help me?»
Mechanic, «I can’t really say.»
Me: «Can you throw out a number so at lease I can gauge how much longer I should wait?»
Mechanic: «I don’t have to tell you anything?!»
Me: «What?! Yeah, you do; if you want me to continue being your customer»
So he takes the papers out of my hand and asks me if I have the original documents so he can scan the bar code, I unfortunately did not. He then tells me that he CAN NOT service my car because he would need the ORIGINAL documents to scan and send to DMV but then he says for ADDITIONAL $ 5 he can manually input the information to the DMV. –Ugh, ok, I’m confused. And then, I show him the discounted ad for $ 18smog check, the mechanic replies that this will only work for different model cars and its not what the DMV is requesting for. Ok, but why didn’t it note that in the advertisement/​coupon itself — sounds like false advertising! The mechanic said that he’ll try to hook me up and give me the smog check for a total of $ 40– WTF?! NOOOOOOO! I am not going to pay almost double of what I was willing to pay in the first place. The mechanic must’ve been inhaling the exhaust pipes or something because at this point he was delusional to try to persuade me to pay more $!
In the end, I took my business elsewhere because after all this miscommunication, misinterpretation, and terrible customer service from a business comes to the conclusion that I could not trust nor financially support a faulty business. It is of scheming people like those of BRAKE PLUS of Daly City that make it so much harder for consumers to find a trustworthy car service business and for that I must forewarn others to avoid this sorry of an excuse of a business!

Obviously this place don’t know anything about customer service. Instead of stating customer is at FAULT. why don’t you look into yourself and ask you rather or not you took care of the customer right from the beginning. I do not think people here rate you based solely on your PRODUCT but also how you TREAT your customer. If you read all the negative reviews, Mr Stanley F will stand in his ground and object all negative comments rather than work with the customer to resolve the problems or complaints.

I went based on their ad, which clearly states $ 28.75 + $ 8.25 certificate for a smog check for most 4 cylinder vehicles newer than 1996. When I got there, they did a bait and switch on me and said that ad was not valid.
I ended up getting my smog done at another place (
…) which charged a couple of dollars more ($ 39.95), but at least they were honest with me.

These guys are the sh*t! They know what they’re doing and will definitely take care of you! I’ve gotten my brakes, oil changes, trans fluid done here for my car and also some jobs done with the parents mini van and am more than pleased with their work. Unilocalers, please use this page to review their services on your car and not uhaul… I believe there is a separate site on uhaul itself to do so when renting with them.

These guys are top notch with the brake service! They even had the receptionist give me a lift to work (in Daly City) when I dropped my truck off. The estimate was honest, the price was right, and the work was solid. It’s been a few months since I went in and I haven’t had any problems. The receptionist and the guy at the counter were very cool and helpful.
Right on Brakes Plus DC!

Dear Unilocalers. I am not the first and not the only person who mentioned that this person is RUDE and does indeed raise his voice when talking to customers (check out other reviews) i stopped communicating with this person via private means after he compared my situation to some «bringing your own chicken to a restaurant and the owners cook it for you etc etc» i guess after me mentioning the price which i was charged (which i did to remind him that i indeed was in there, mentioned the car model and the service that i had received) all to explain that i have indeed been here. None of this stink would explode if he did not choose to contact me and accuse me of being a LIAR and threatened to get me removed from Unilocal.And later said he would get police involved. Was he rude? Yes he was.
Now he hates my review, and wants it removed, but, this is called first amendment right, Mrs staley or andrew. After your first message where you said the review was false and threatened to get me removed (wtf?) i had absolutely no desire to satisfy your demands. Yah, you indeed TOLD me to get you the receipt, maybe you should’ve asked me in a nicer manner and i would bring it to you personally, thank you for changing your ways, communicating with me in a nice, professional manner and even change my review or update it with a follow up. NEVER HAPPENED. Maybe I am harsh in choosing words in my this or other reviews, but I am honest. Dont you dare calling me a liar.
He wants me give him my real name and the name on that receipt, but i am scared for my safety. I don’t feel comfortable letting this person know who I am as receipt contains my contact information. Would you? I am a girl and i am home alone most nights. And after communicating with this man here and via private messages, I am not completely sure he would not show up at my doors trying to prove his point or break my neck if he finds out who i am and where i live.
Anyway, i didn’t want to continue talking to him after he said he read my other reviews, i was Not nice and rude and said he wants me have a good life (absolutely irrelevant and wtf my life has anything to do with the subject of discussion?)
Oh and by the way, the examples he listed has nothng even to do with me. I have been there once and only time, have no reason to retaliate like he said about a busted car. Keep guessing stanley, but dont you dare sending me threats

Needed new brakes…
Andrew did the job and took care of a couple of other items.
He is to be trusted with any car repairs

The Guys at Brake Plus are the best. I had a gas tank that needed a quick repair. They checked out my car, found the problem and had it fixed promptly. When I look for a shop that can take care of my automotive maintenance needs with friendly and courteous service technicians, Brake Plus is that shop. Good prices and honest work.
If your car has any problems and you need honest help, take your car to Andrew and Stanley, it will be in good hands.

I have been taking my cars to Brake Plus for the past 8 years and these guys are very honest. Andrew is a straight to the point type of guy who doesn’t pressure you about getting work done with him. I always got my cars back working with no problems.
Mechanics are expensive in general but with Brake Plus you will get quality work done right in a timely manner.
