I had the best experience with Metric Motors. They were able to replace my parts all in one day. Joel was extremely professional, and I mentioned that I needed to replace a rear tire due to a screw I saw. They looked at it and turns out it didn’t even penetrate the tire. They saved me from spending money on a tire that I didn’t even need. I absolutely love this place and they are my forever mechanics to my Benz. I highly recommend them. These guys know what they are doing. Thank you Metric Motors.

If you're looking for an honest, reliable mechanic, Metric Motors is for you!
As soon as the warranty expired on my Audi, I stopped going to the dealer and went to Metric Motors for all my service. For 4+ years, Joel and the rest of the team took amazing care of it! Regular tune ups and oil changes are reasonably priced and done same-day. I also had a weird intermittent issue that they worked very hard to figure out. Every couple of weeks, I'd bring it in for a day or two and they'd try a new solution. Eventually, they conceded that they could not diagnose the problem, but

Had my vehicle serviced here for years before moving out of the area. Service was always outstanding, staff was informative, helpful, and the prices were always extremely reasonable. More importantly, it was refreshing to have auto service with integrity, where I am dealing with people with genuine honesty, and not being sold needless service to replace parts that still have years of serviceable wear and use in them. I have personally recommended them to friends, and tell everyone this is THE place to go if looking for an auto mechanic they can actually Trust!

How do these guys make any money?
My brakes on my 2015 A6 were shaking. I went to the dealer to get an estimate and they did not even look at it but planned to replace my front brakes. Metric Motors looked at it and said it is not a safety or performance issue but only a comfort issue. So they said I can drive it and wear the brakes down and save money for a year or they would fix it now.
Then I asked them to do a 55k service and they determined most of my filters were in great shape with no replacement necessary, but they did replace other needed items. Call Joel and set up an appointment

I found this location here on Yelp after finding two of my tires leaking air. Upon arrival (it was a drop-in) I spoke with Jose who was both quite kind and very knowledgeable, willing to share technical details around tire punctures and common causes. While chatting he collected my contact information and car details, after which we booked an appointment a couple of days later.
On appointment day, I met Joel who handled the dropoff. Again, very knowledgeable and friendly - I felt comfortable leaving my Audi with his team.
Dropoff time was around 8:45am; I received a call just before noon to

Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value
These guys know what they are doing, and will not rip you off. In fact, I don't think they charge enough for the level of service provided. They diagnosed my Mini turbo and quoted a price 1/5 what the dealer wanted for the same job. I wish I had found them years ago.
Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change, Check engine light diagnostic, Battery

Fabulous and honest team we have here who looked after my aging German car and gave very pragmatic advice in what was needed / worth doing to keep it on the road.
Joel as front of house was extremely attentive and got my car in / out extremely efficiently as well as keeping me updated during the day on the status.
The cost was very reasonable and over 50% of that from the Audi dealership. Their dog is also super cute!
Highly recommended.

Joel and his team are the absolute best. I'm so glad I found them when I moved back to SF. I finally found a decent repair shop with a rad service advisor in SoCal when I had to move back to SF (Thanks Covid). I was worried I wouldn't find anyone honest or well priced in the area. Thankfully after having a few convos with places in the area I decided on Metric Motors. Joel and the team were able to help diagnose the complicated problem with my car and give me an honest quote of what I should absolutely fix and other problems I could maybe wait a few months on. Surprisingly, money has yet to grow

Joel and the team at Metric Motors are the perfect example of honesty, class and experience. This is the most wonderful mechanic shop I've been to in my life. I truly feel like I'm at home whenever I need to get my vehicle serviced. Thank you so much for all the work you've done for me and my car! We truly appreciate you!!! 10 out of 10!

I'm driving my 6th German car and 3rd Mercedes-Benz, an SLK350. Until recently they were all dealer-serviced. I was the one who got serviced. Have you ever picked up your car at the dealer and asked in frustration at your bill: "How much?? For what???"
Then my best friend recommended Metric Motors.
Metric Motors is a high-value, top-quality, totally chill upgrade from the usual nightmare of expensive, pointless, dealer service.

One of the best if not the best independent European garage I've ever done business with. Honest, friendly, and experts at their craft, I've gone back multiple times now because I trust them with my car. I have an E39 M5, and most shops either want to gouge me or don't know what they're doing.
The only potential drawback is they are pretty busy (always a good sign for an Indy), but if you want quality service at reasonable prices, look no further.

I have a 2011 Audi A3.
I rarely write reviews but was absolutely floored by these guys. The service and quality of this shop is second to none - I honestly don’t believe any of the 1 star reviews, must be competition.
I first went in 5 months ago for an oil change that was fair price to say the least but it was done within an hour and Joel was the friendliest mechanic I’ve ever met (I know that’s not saying much, but trust me). Also worth noting is that the first person I interacted with had special needs and he told me that Joel had hired him on for 15-20 hours a week to help around the

These guys are a group of straight shooters that know their cars and always do the right thing. Each repair I've had done on multiple cars(2 BMWs, 1 Mercedes, 2 Minis, and 1 Volkswagen) has been approached from my point of view and maximized for my wallet. They are up front about all aspects of the car and what they charge to get the issue corrected. The only issue is they are a small crew and can get backed up easily, something I take as a sign of being at the top of their game. Metric is my #1 referral for car repair, and the first place I call when I have trouble.
