From stubborn check-engine lights and faulty sensors to full double head gasket replacements, we find the real cause and fix it with clean, precise work.

Failed the California smog test? We track down the cause — catalytic converters, sensors, and more — and get you passing and back on the road.

Loose tie rods and worn steering components are safety issues. We catch them during inspection and replace them before they become dangerous.

Brake inspection and replacement done right, so you stop with confidence.

Comprehensive inspections that check everything — so you know exactly what your car needs and what it doesn't.

Straight answers, fair prices, and fixes other shops gave up on.
Our story
My Mechanic is a car repair and maintenance shop on 10th Street in San Francisco's SoMa. Drivers come to us for straight answers: when another shop says a car is dead, we're the second opinion that takes the time to figure it out. And more than once, we've had that car purring again for a fair price.
We explain exactly what your car needs and why, in as much detail as you want, and we keep you in the loop while the work happens — some customers even get photos of their engine as it goes back together. No upselling, no mystery line items. Just clean, precise work from mechanics who know many different types of cars, from Subarus to a beloved '95 Jeep Wrangler.
What customers say
“Another shop had told me my car was dead, and they could not figure out how to fix it. Had it towed to My Mechanic for a second opinion, took some work but they figured it out and repaired it for a really fair price and did not try and up sell me on anything. Car is running great again.”
“Friendly, professional, clean, and fast. We brought our 2004 Subaru Forester here for double head gasket replacement. Jhovanny stayed in communication with us throughout the process, sent us photos of the engine as it was being reassembled. We just took the car on a 300 mile trip and it purrs and runs smoothly.”
“Warren Ko, owner of My Mechanic, is one of the most honest, caring, fair auto mechanics in San Francisco. He makes you feel like he is treating you the same way he would treat a family member.”
