Our story

A Family Shop Drivers Keep Coming Back To

We're Larkins Brothers Tire & Auto, a family-owned repair shop at 370 S Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco. Whether you roll in with a flat or come in for scheduled service, our approach is the same: assess the situation, give you straight information, and let you make the decision.

That approach is why customers who first found us as teenagers with a flat tire are still bringing us their cars decades later. Jason and the team work fast — tires, alignment, and suspension work can often be turned around the same day — without cutting corners on the conversation that comes first.

We're open six days a week, from early morning through the evening on weekdays, so it's easy to fit us into a workday. Stop by or give us a call.

  • Family-owned and operated
  • Same-day turnaround on many repairs
  • Open six days a week

What customers say

“I think I was a teenager stuck with the flat tire many years ago... Decades later I'm still going back, because they have consistently been so helpful. They assess the situation, give me reasonable information, and then let me make the decision. From a patch to a 50k service, I rely on them!!”

Julee Burdekin

“Amazing, family owned business!! I cannot say enough good things about Jason and his team. I was down visiting family, needed front tires/alignment for sure and asked them to look at a noise in the front suspension. Jason called me just a couple hours later saying that the tires/alignment and suspension issue could be done that Same Day! You don't find many places like this any longer. Highly recommended.”

Kevin Celedon

“Thank you so much to both Jason and Randy! Super speedy, exceptional customer service! I was in and out within 30 minutes, and my first-time experience was amazing!”
