Twin Peaks Auto Care

Can’t recommend this place highly enough for all your car service needs. Ed is simply the best. Very honest and great at what he does. I take my Prius to them for everything and have always left satisfied. Ed even changed out parts the dealership claimed only they could change. He saved me several hundred dollars and even the mechanic at the SF Toyota confirmed that everything was done correctly.

These guys are honest, fair, do good work and stand by it. Plus they’re nice and actually seem to enjoy their hard work. I cannot recommend them any harder.

The only possible improvements these guys could make would be to get a snazzier facility, custom uniforms, and have someone passing out hors d’oeuvres. However, in terms of getting your car repaired, you simply won’t do better.
Honesty — last visit: they took my car, fixed the problem in less than 15 minutes, and refused to charge me. I was expecting at least a $ 100 bill and walked away paying $ 0. Who does that anymore? I mean really?!
Expertise — they knew EXACTLY what to look for to fix my problem (oil leak), how to fix it, and then checked their work.
Speed — I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. That’s driving up, explaining my problem, and having them fix it. Exceptional!
Service — Nice guys! Really doesn’t get any better!
I highly, I mean HIGHLY, recommend these guys for auto repair.

I’ve been using these guys for years. At first I just used them for oil changes but they did a good job fixing my friend’s cars so I was considering using them for more. I like to buy used cars and have a few. I take my CLS 63 AMG to Octane but I recently decided I needed to a city beater and purchased a used Scion Xb and took it to them for the comprehensive used car inspection. They found a pressure differential that would have caused engine failure sometime down the road so I returned the car in the 72 hour window. I brought my truck in for the 50 000 and 60 000 mile service and it runs amazing now. Noticeable difference in performance and handling. I ended up getting a blue low miles 2005 PT Cruiser for my city beater and to haul gear when I did not want to put miles on my truck. I knew the issues the car had because I have an ODB reader and know just enough about engines to be dangerous. I asked them to do the first phase to correct the issue (plugs, wires) and replace a few minor items. I forgot to tell I smelled oil but they found the problem anyway and also some seals on the transmission that needed replacing. That car is never going to be fast but now it runs so much better that I am almost not embarrassed by it. These guys do a great job and their prices are competitive.

All the other 5 star reviews are accurate. These guys have ALWAYS undersold me (as opposed to overselling me on unnecessary work) on whatever work was needed. What other auto repair place does that???

I live close by and frequently get my gas here, get flats fixed and tire rotations. I drive an audi s4 and the audi dealer said I needed front brakes including rotors and quoted over $ 1200 just for the front. I thought I would get a quote here since its a straight forward job. They did it for $ 800 using genuine audi parts. Plus they are nice and not uppity like audi. Need I say more?

Friendly, fast and honest. I went in for squealing brakes expecting that I’d need new pads. He gave me a time and price estimate and was able to take my car that day (normally I think they work by appointment). An hour or so later he called and said my brake pads were only at about 50% wear and it was probably dust/​dirt that was causing the squeaking. Charged me $ 25 for the inspection. I’ll come back when my brakes actually do need fixing.

These guys are pros. Masters of their craft. I had a tire plug done here– in and out in 15 minutes for $ 20. They put the tire back on and checked all tires’ air pressure. ⁶⁄₅ stars

I started bringing my car there 7 or 8 years ago, at first for small things, because it was more convenient than the mechanic I used back then. Their honesty won me over. If they say that something needs to be done, it usually does. When my old CRV broke down just a couple of blocks away from their place 3 years ago, they took a look at it and explained for free since they knew me what needed to be done… about a $ 2000 worth of repairs, then explained they might find something else that was broken underneath that could add another $$$, but that those repairs would probably not be the end of it and pointed out worn out pieces that would give up sooner or later. Bottom line, he said, buy a new car and save yourself thousands in the next couple of years… Those repair $$$$ would have gone to him. If this is not honesty, what is? I am thankful for the money they saved me, and I make sure that any repair done on my cars is done there.

Auto staff so so great. Very informative of my car. So thanks to them. Very convenient location.

Came in here to get a flat tire fixed. Ronald checked out the car right away and told me what needed to be done and how much it would cost. He got the job done in even shorter time than he had outlined (under 4 hours to order a tire in, change it out, change my oil) and gave me some good advice for some other questions I had. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Ronald & Ed are the best! I’ve been coming here for over 8 years. Everytime I have car trouble, these are the guys I go to, and so does the rest of my family & extended family.
Ever so often, my poor 260+k miles Civic has its hiccups– something starts vibrating, the transmission sounds like it’s about to give up, etc. Just when I thought it’s about time to bid farewell to the car, Ronald & Ed would magically revive it back to life. Just this past week, Ronald changed the tires & found that the vibration was due to a dented rim. So with his advice, I purchased a new rim & got a minor engine tune up. Voila! The car was purring like it was 5 years ago. It’s a great feeling when cars on the road see an old car & assume they can easily cut me off or that I can’t accelerate. No way! They are messing with the wrong car. Ronald & Ed, I can’t thank you guys enough!

Ron was incredibly professional and personable. It took a lot of hard work, but he managed to fix some insanely loud squeaking caused by some old shocks. He worked to get me a good deal and put in some extra test driving to be sure he fixed the problem. My über driver even reinforced my selection of this auto shop, and said they replaced his breaks for half the price charged by another shop. I’ll definitely be coming back here.

My boyfriend referred me to his mechanic here, Ed, and I am so grateful he did! When you don’t know much about cars, it’s always unnerving trying to find someone honest, competent, and affordable to go to. My car was due for its 120,000mi service, which the dealership wanted to charge me just short of $ 700 for. While I don’t know much, I knew that this was outrageous considering what would be done for that service.
I brought my 2007 VW Beetle in to Ed to talk to him about this service, and he was very straightforward with me. He took a look at my car and let me know what actually needed to be done, and was very reasonable in what he charged. He did a great job, and I am very appreciative of his integrity.
Looks like I’ve found my new mechanic :)

It is so refreshing to have a great auto care shop in your neighborhood. My car battery was completely dead and I was in dire need of some help. I was able to call them and then drop the car off to get fixed.
They were so nice and friendly and gave me very reasonable prices. They had to order the battery but were able to get in and install it within 2 hours. They had even topped off my oil which was going low as an added bonus.
Big lifesavers! Thank you!

First of all, I was convinced in my head, that I was looking at a $ 1000.00 repair bill for fixing my car. I quite literally know nothing about auto repair. I brought my car in and Johnny took it in for me right away, He called me within an hour and the car was finished! Total bill? $ 39.95 What?! If he told me $ 500 I would have thought I had gotten a deal. It was a simple problem he fixed. That is how dumb I am about cars. This is the most honest and efficient business I have dealt with in a very long time. I highly recommend this place and they will be my first and only choice for any auto repairs I need in the future.

I came here for gasoline on a Monday in April 2015 and noticed a sign that mentioned that there was some special deal for gasoline if you purchased it on a Wednesday. I’m not sure what that’s all about but am curious.
It’s a good enough gas station. On 05÷11÷15 I paid $ 3.79/gallon for regular gas.
It’s convenient and you can pay by credit card (with no up-​charge) at the pump.
It’s on a corner lot and is in the Twin Peaks /​Diamond Heights area.
You can enter on Portola Drive but have to exit onto O’Shaughnessy located near Juvenile Hall, the youth detention center, going down the hill, for traffic safety reasons.

I found their info on the CA DMV website and called to ask about a smog check. They said to bring in my car anytime after 10am, and it would only take 15 – 20 minutes. I arrived about 20 minutes later, and Ronald was assigned to help. He did a quick and amazing job! It really did only take 15 minutes! He was also patient in answering my questions about DMV registration, which I was grateful for since I’m new to CA. I’m keeping them on my list to frequent in the future for auto needs!

These guys are the best! I had taken my car to two different spots and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my car, but Twin Peaks Auto Care figured it out right away! The staff is really friendly and helpful also.

This review for Ed Wong at Twin Peaks Auto is long overdue. Over the years he’s looked after my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 1999 Toyota Tacoma. Always conscientious, accommodating and fast. Ed’s the best.
