Grant’s Auto Repair

If I could give the business 6 stars I would. I recently purchased an old fixer upper RV on craigslist. I took it in to get repairs and Craig fixed the issues quickly for a fair price and had me on my way. I am somewhat of an RV newbie and Craig went over the top to explain to me the ins and outs of my RV. He’s a standup guy and him and his wife have got a good thing going on. If I ever have any issues with one of my cars or my RV I am headed straight back to Grant’s Auto Repair.

This is the best place I have taken my cars to in the 32 years I have lived in San Francisco as a driving adult.
I met Craig Grant and his wife Shawn, 5 years ago when I had major issues with a Jeep Cherokee which I loved very much. I had it towed to Grant’s Auto after realising I was going to be screwed going to Firestone. I had to pay extra for a tow, but it was well worth it to have this accomplished and honest person working on my Jeep. I know longer have the Jeep as a result of someone hitting it. (boo hoo)
I then had a 1986 VW Vanagon Camper. I also had Craig work on this. This Van had a lot of mileage and was costing me too much money in repairs. Craig worked on this for 2 years and I just decided to say Buh-​Bye, when the transmission died. I then sold it. Now, I have a 1996 Nissan King Cab pick-​up truck and a 2007 Hyundai. Craig is also the pilot of repairs for my car and truck. I recently had some brake issues with my Hyundai and took it to Craig. He saw that the parts were still under warranty and did the work at no charge. I always feel so much better leaving Grant’s Auto Repair with new parts, special attention and friendly and honest service.
It’s a bit out of the way for me, living in the Richmond district of the City. I know there are closer mechanics but I don’t want to stray far-​a-​way from the best. You won’t be disappointed. They also have U-​Haul rental business there as well.

I just took my car here for the second time. Grant and his wife are AWESOME. the first time I came in my car was destroyed. Grant checked it out, let me know, and when I decided I didn’t wan to get it fixed and instead just donate it, he didn’t charge me anything. Super friendly and flexible. I would recommend this place to anyone.

I just rented a U-​haul and had a very good experience with the people at the shop, despite having some issues with the truck itself. Best customer service I have had in a while was from the people who run this shop. I’m thinking about bringing my car in now based on the uhaul experience.

I’ve been going to Grant’s for over a decade to have my car repaired. He’s the best out there. As they say, you get what you pay for, and with them it’s always quality work. They get very creative with what you need. If you want repairs done and done right, go to Grant’s.

I’m here to rent a trailer and never having done so before, I pretty much have to rely on them for information regarding proper equipment and parts. I have to say they were very nice and very helpful. Told me everything I needed and when I got everything, they hooked the trailer up for me checked everything out to make sure it was all good. Great service and very pleasant people to do business with.

I have rented UHaul vans from this location multiple times, and each transaction has been seamless. Very friendly and helpful!

WARNING SCAM ALERT!!!
They charged me for 7 days, only put 1 mile on the cargo van. Thieves and liars… I booked with Uhual corporate and they told me that they don’t honor their reservations. White trash, even charged me a $ 100 cleanup fee, I didn’t smoke, drink, eat or so much as sit in the van for more than 5 minutes. I live a few blocks away from the location. See you in court.
*****Update***** I received the $ 100 refund directly from UHUAL corporate and an apology letter. Stay away from renting a moving van from this location. 2 miles the other direction on Mission is an honest and sane pick-​up location. I was told by a Uhual Supervisor that Grant’s owns their own «Uhual vehicles» and have received several complaints about their outrageous behavior, I guess they’re overly protective… Nonetheless the location is U-​Haul Neighborhood Dealer
7499 Mission Street, Daly City, CA (650) 994‑6070. Highly recommended and they won’t come to your door and steal back a truck you prepaid for!

Nicest people, honest, reasonable and just plain great!

Down to earth couple. Craig was nice and seemed honest… like any car repair, i can’t say much about his workmanship for now bc i just had my car serviced there. I just gotta wait a tad bit longer, but i’m sure it is better than firestone.
From what i experienced at this place, it is a 5 star business.

The folks at Grant’s Auto are incredibly nice, patient, and great at what they do. I’ve rented U-​Haul vans from them, as well as taken my cars in for service and repair. They’re the easiest people to deal with, they communicate well, and their prices are totally fair. Give this small business some love, San Francisco.

Best place in San Francisco to rent a truck for Burning Man! Maybe the best U-​Haul location ever…

rented from this location several times when i lived in Balboa Park. Always chill folks. Husband and wife team, i think, and they are great! no hassles picking up… returning… or driving. always cool! afterhours dropoff is a plus too!
no boxes for sale, but do it anyway!!!

I rented a U-​haul van from them, and was VERY impressed with how friendly the staff were. The woman jumped in the truck, noticed I forgot to get gas and said «Honey, the gas station is just down the street, why don’t you avoid the fee and top ‘er off»

We were trying to drop off on a move from San Diego over New Years. U-​Uaul was not particularly helpful on how to do this; but the neighbors were which I took as a good sign that these guys are good neighbors. Friendly response when I called to confirm everything was OK.

When my wife and I had a VERY bad experience with another U-​Haul certified rental place, we went to our computer to find another place. Already working on borrowed time, we came upon this place. Like I said, we were already wary of any rental place, so we proceeded with extreme caution with Grant’s.
As soon as we walked in there, the guy at the front made us feel at home. My wife had already created a reservation online, so he knew exactly why we were there. We explained that the other place had screwed us on our reservation, and had lied on the terms we had agreed to online. The guy asked us which rental shop it was, and when we told him, he laughed and said that he knew exactly that «other» shop was about.
After signing the appropriate paperwork, he showed us the 17-​footer. He gave us directions on operation, when it had to be returned by, and even let us borrow a pretty sturdy dolly handtruck!
I think that if we ever had to rent out another U-​Haul truck again, we would remember the friendliness and helpfulness of the guy we dealt with at Grant’s. Unfortunately, I didn’t get his name (maybe my wife did) but he would definitely be the guy to look for if any of you folks need a truck.
