Our story

About A&P Service Center

At A&P Service Center on MacArthur Blvd, we work on the cars our neighbors depend on every day, from routine oil changes and brake service to electrical problems other shops pass on. Ali and the team walk you through what your car actually needs, and what it doesn't, before any work begins.

We have tracked down hard-to-find parts other mechanics couldn't source, sorted out DMV paperwork on salvage titles, and caught small problems, like a failing battery, before they turned into bigger ones. Customers who come in for one repair tend to bring us their whole fleet.

  • Clear, upfront pricing
  • Same-day diagnostics
  • Salvage title & DMV expertise
  • Tracks down hard-to-find parts

What customers say

“Excellent service from start to finish. I had my brakes serviced and the experience was outstanding. The team was easy to work with, communicated clearly, and provided excellent customer service throughout the process. The price was extremely fair, significantly better than what the dealer quoted. I highly recommend them and will definitely be back for any service I need in the future.”

Marlon Patton

“Great job, Ali! I'm really happy with the work you and your team did. I came in for headlights and didn't expect to need a new battery, but I appreciate you letting me know it was failing and could eventually affect my transmission. It was a small price to pay to avoid a bigger problem down the road. I have three cars, and I think I've found my new mechanic. Thank you!”

Wendie Sun

“I had been having issues trying to get my horn repaired, an old 2003 Honda Accord. Honda Service Center on Franklin St nor my old mechanic in Inner Sunset was not able to help find the right part and Ali at A&P got it fixed in less than 24 hours. More importantly, he was very well informed on DMV regulations for salvage vehicles and was able to resolve my car's problems. Thank you!”
