Our story
The shop that tells you the truth
At Ngai's Auto Repair on Hoff Street, we do things the old-fashioned way: you call, we answer, and we tell you exactly what your car needs and what it doesn't. Customers have walked in expecting a repair bill and walked out spending nothing, because if your car is fine, we'll say so and show you why. When work does need doing, we move fast. Brakes, rotors, shocks, bearings: most jobs are diagnosed within the hour and done the same day, at prices customers consistently call reasonable. That's how we've earned a 4.7-star rating from our San Francisco neighbors, one honest repair at a time.
- Honest assessments: if your car doesn't need work, we'll tell you

What customers say
“If you're looking for an honest, affordable mechanic in San Francisco, look no further. The last time I dropped in because my brakes were squealing and a belt sounded loose. He inspected the car and said that he COULD do something to my car but it didn't NEED anything. I walked away spending no money and feeling such gratitude that I found such an honest place!”
“Friendly people and quick, professional service! I got my front brakes and rotors done here—same day service in 4-5 hours. Their prices were reasonable compared to other auto shops I called, and I'd happily return for any other car needs.”
“Second time going here and second good experience. Here I was in and out same day for a bearing failure. Easy, no nonsense, and Andy has a good sense of humor. Will be back”
