Our story
Chow's Automotive has been fixing cars in San Francisco under Larry Chow, with Kevin working alongside him on every job that comes through the door. Customers come back year after year, some for more than a decade, because the diagnosis is honest and the work holds up.
We handle the everyday stuff, oil changes, brakes, diagnostics, and the bigger jobs too: collision and body work, catalytic converter protection, and tire repairs when you need to get back on the road fast. When a job touches your insurance company, we walk you through it.
Our customers keep bringing their whole family's vehicles back to us. That kind of trust is earned one honest repair at a time.
What customers say
“Kevin and Larry are among the most knowledgeable, honest, and skilled mechanics I've ever had the pleasure of working with. For more than 10 years, they have taken exceptional care of my family's vehicles, consistently delivering outstanding service, expert workmanship, and complete peace of mind.”
“Brought the car in for rear end damage and they gave me a great price and fixed it so insanely fast. Got the car back and you can't even tell the slightest difference. Best body work I've ever seen, highly recommend.”
“The staff is great, I learned a lot about my vehicle that I didn't know before taking it to Chow's. 100 percent great service.”
