Sam Truong’s 76

They replaced a ripped tire on an emergency basis. It was done within an hour, & I had no appointment. This is a highly professional & fair place. And the prices are reasonable.

I usually get oil changes and gas here plus a little work here and there on my cars. My brake light went out so i went to O’Reillys to get a new bulb and the guy at the counter was sure it was the right one. Later they said maybe the wiring or controls were off. Sam was busy but he took a quick look and new right away it was the wrong bulb. He went inside got the right one and it worked fine. No charge just an even swap of the bulbs. He’s done an alternator, wheels and wheel repair, as well as as minor fixes… this is my spot for quality work at an affordable price. They get the job done quick and right to keep you rolling.

Came to get a quote for new tires, and was hard to get an answer. Language barrier may have been part of it, but I had all the info needed (the reading from my car tires (a la 235/​60r16), as well as make model year but the number kept changing. In the end the final quote was 155/​tire after taxes & disposal for cheapest tire they had on hand. While I go with the little guys when I can, I also need to save $ 50×4… so was a no-​go for me.

I have been coming to Sam Troung’s for almost two decades and have been happy with them, especially their prices on everything! I used to go to the name brand businesses, like BigO for tires, places like that because I drive a lot and go through tires at least once a year and brakes twice a year. The brakes cost me approximately $ 50 each which is very affordable in my opinion and my van tires are around $ 95 each for a Dodge Caravan. I don’t think I’ve ever been overcharged at Sam’s and he’s always been very upfront if he can’t fix something for me, like the electrical system on my van doors that is broken, things like that. The basics are affordable and I highly recommend this station. You can get to it by the L Taraval Muni Line and I’m sure other nearby lines too. If you need to wait, the library is just up the street and there are a lot of cafes, restaurants and ice cream/​gelato places nearby too.

A very reliable, quick and cheap auto shop. Been taking my car here for the last 2 years and can’t be happier.

Sam is by far, the best mechanic I’ve ever had.

Fast, reliable, and affordable service. Gas is usually pretty cheap too. Sam taught me how to pump my own gas when I was 16 so thank you SAM!

It happens I didn’t have a one of those new run flat tire, but 76 was right there to help patch it up. $ 40 and 30mins later I’m back on the road.

I’ve to this place every time I’ve needed an oil change for the last 3 years and even had large scale routine maintenance done here as well.
They are fast, inexpensive, thorough, and honest.
I went in once thinking I needed new brake pads. They quoted me somewhere around $ 120 for the whole job. I got a call soon after I left and they explained to me that the problem was with my caliper, and that my brake pads were fine. My total came out to $ 80 for new calipers which they were able to order and install that same day. Honest and awesome mechanics.

Brought my own tires here and got all 4 tires changed at a fair price…$ 18 each and all done under an hour! Very satisfied customer! Down the street they tried to charge me $ 25. a tire and minimum of 3hour wait?! Insane! Glad I came here!

Oil change and AC recharge in an hour for $ 75. Quick, no non-​sense service.

Love, love, love this place! Sadly for us we have been here to visit Sam for various car issues over the past few months. As soon as we get one car fixed, another seems to have issues. I am so thankful we found Sam! His service and knowledge are fantastic and you cannot beat the prices! I highly recommend this 76 station!

Excellent work on all cars n smog place. will be doibg buisness there for many many yrs I recomend this place

They are a**holes horrible service. restroom for employees only. and the customer service could use a lot of work.

I had a flat tire, major bummer, but got towed to this station, where I tried to explain that I needed to get to work. They pulled the car on the side, yanked the tire off, checked it, and plugged it.
Little English, very fast (~10 minutes), very inexpensive ($ 15), and they waved me on my way. Just the way I like it!

Convenient to public transit! Convenient drop off/​pick up hours until 11pm! Priced right. I don’t feel like he’s fishing for more money like with other mechanics Gets it fixed. My goto mechanic.

They have a great focus on their customers. They are honest, fair in pricing and fast! They removed a screw out of my tire and repaired the hole in 20 minutes for $ 25.

Came in here to get gas as was running on fumes. Yeah, prices aren’t great, but I bought some windshield soap and the attendant put that and water in my car’s receptacle for me with a smile on his face. What a sweetie-​pie!

I wouldnt tell ANYBODY to go here for auto repair! I brought my truck in because the heater wasnt working and the car was overheating. I asked them to fully flush the cooling system before i put the new radiator in. The guy charged me $ 150 to flush the system and do an oil change. He didnt do what i asked, all he did was fill it up with coolent, changed the thermostat and did the oil change. Then when i asked him why it was still overheating and the heater was still not working he just kept saying «you need a new radiator»… no shit!!! Really… i got frustrated and left… then when i changed the radiator i found out that he infact DID NOT DO THE SYSTEM FLUSH! so i essentially paid $ 150 for a freakin oil change… now i have to take the car to another shop to get a flush… ridiculous!
BTW ive been working on cars since i was 5… i know wtf im doing…
Dont bother with these guys
and yes… this WAS Sam working on the car

Just got my smog check done here. Sam is very considerate and they finished the job very quickly, considering I just drove in on a whim.
