Our story
K & C Auto Service is a neighborhood repair shop at 5th and Harrison in San Francisco, and we run it the way we'd want our own cars cared for: tell you the truth, show you the evidence, and never sell you work you don't need.
When your car comes in, we do a full diagnostic and record what we find (photos, video, and a written report), then walk you through it in plain language. You get all the options, whether that means fixing it today, watching a small issue over time, or hearing the honest advice that a repair isn't worth it. Our customers tell us that kind of straight talk is rare, and it's why so many of them come back for every service.
From Subarus to GTIs, we handle repairs and maintenance with quick scheduling, often getting you in the very next day.
What customers say
“Steven is always honest and really transparent about what work is actually needed, I never have to question whether I'm being upsold on services. The prices are extremely reasonable and he's always able to get me on the schedule quickly. Can't recommend this shop enough!”
“His pricing is very fair and the work is excellent. You know, the moment that you meet him, that he is an honest man and treating you, and the work he is doing for you, with great integrity.”
“He records a full video of what he sees during the inspection, explains everything in plain language, and gives you all the options—whether you want to fix it now or just drive off and wait. That kind of transparency and respect is rare in this industry.”
