Harry and Ted are two of the last honest mechanics in San Mateo. They never BS you, just fix what is wrong and charge a reasonable price, no unnecessary "extras" that most German car repair shops seem to always include. These guys can fix just about anything on any make of car. I have had my car serviced here for YEARS and they are great.

The only review about this place that isn't 5 star is literally referring to the chevron down the street. They've never had a car wash lol.
Best repair shop around

Harry is genius and his team is awesome.
You guys can trust them with your cars, any kind of problem or upgrade hit them up.
You guys will love their work along with the views nearby, as they are located in heavily nature surrounded areas.
Harry and his team is very knowledgeable, specially when it comes to custom work or upgrades to the sport cars.
Will always give honest opinion, if you don't need anything they won't ask you to do so.
See the pictures of my car they worked on.

We had an issue with low tire pressure on our rental car. They let us borrow their air pressure gage and were extremely friendly. Thanks for helping us get back on the road!

Great mechanics. They do good work, never push a repair or maintenance that isn't needed and their prices are fair.

Hari and Ted and the rest of the crew are the best! They are always able to fit my vehicles in at the last minute when they breakdown. We have experienced top notch service coupled with creative solutions when faced with unique problems.

Majority of the times I come here for the car wash. It's the touch less car wash that does not use the rubber revolving scrubbers, so for the "don't scratch my car" type people you'll love it. The pumps are limited so during rush hour it can get crowded. It's located right off 92 so it's a good stop before half moon bay or Hayward.
