I had a great experience here. They were friendly, competent, and efficient—couldn’t ask for more


Feb 02, 2025

My original mechanic recommended me to come to this place for my Subaru hybrid, I like it. The work is done quickly. Good job


Feb 01, 2025

Awesome care at my scheduled oil change. They checked everything and suggested a few filters that needed changing. Communication is always very clear.


Feb 01, 2025

Great service, thorough explanations, no BS. How’s that for a tagline? Love you, Earthling!


Jan 31, 2025

Earthling Automotive was amazing! They assisted me right away and was thorough and upfront about the condition of my car. I couldn't have found a better repair place!


Jan 31, 2025

For three years now, I’ve had a check engine light on my Kia. I took it to the dealership and after six visits and a couple thousand dollars they could not find the problem. So I was looking for another shop to take my car to and I came across Earthling. In a matter of a couple of hours, they were able to tell me exactly what was wrong with my car. They sent me a report which included pics/videos. They are very reasonably priced and very professional. I would highly recommend this repair facility for your car repair needs. Thank you Earthling for your expertise !


Jan 31, 2025

I took my model S Tesla in for a pyro fuse replacement. They did a great job and worked through lunch to get the car out for me that I was waiting for in thier comfortable show room. Thank you all for a great job!!


Jan 31, 2025

My Tesla Model 3 needed a new battery. Earthling got me in the next day. They also replaced the cabin air filter. The service was excellent and the price was fair. I highly recommend Earthling and will use them again in the future.


Jan 31, 2025

We have been taking our cars to Earthling (and formerly Luscious) for over 12 years now. They do fantastic work for a fair price. I can count on them to give me honest guidance on what we need to do to keep our cars working the way we want them to work. I value their expertise so much that I continue to bring our cars to them even though we live 50 minutes away now.


Jan 24, 2025

Only shop I know in SF Bay Area that works on 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV with TESLA parts. Responsive staff, did works in reasonable time and cost. A model for other garages working with old gen and new generation electric cars.


Jan 24, 2025

Plenty to read in the comfortable waiting area. Good communication throughout the process.


Jan 24, 2025

This place is great. They actually try to save you money on hybrid and EV servicing vs dealerships. These people are honest, easy to work with, educational, consultative, etc. We're lucky to have them in San Francisco


Jan 24, 2025

Work completed on time and under estimate. Good communication.


Jan 17, 2025

Best auto repair experience I’ve ever had. They were reasonably priced and explained everything to me clearly as they were fixing my car.


Jan 17, 2025

Bobby was super helpful and efficient. Great customer service.


Jan 17, 2025

One of the few third party places that specializes in EV service. Helpful and know what they’re talking about. Thank you.


Jan 17, 2025

Super fast and friendly service :) cozy lobby. I was happy to receive an estimate via email prior to service. I felt totally comfortable and new I was getting great service without worrying about getting shocked with a huge bill


Jan 17, 2025

Very good service and friendly


Jan 10, 2025

Very casual, super professional, very friendly and generous. Great waiting room. Love my Nespressoespresso"You're the boss".


Jan 07, 2025

Brought my Tesla Model S here for service. Did a great job with the refrigerant and desiccant bag for AC. Very impressed with the level of care and documentation of the findings and replacements. You leave confident that the issue has been fixed and you are in good hands. Def going back for my regular servicing.


Jan 07, 2025

I've been a satisfied customer for 10 years. High quality work, transparency, trust, professional service, I wouldn't trust my hybrid to anyone else.


Jan 07, 2025

Made my service appointment at Earthling Auto as I waited over an hour for my dealership service department to check me in for a scheduled routine service appointment. I knew there had to be other options for servicing EVs and glad to find one closer to my home and on the same day. I was in and out in less time than it took my dealership service to even check me in! Highly recommend. Great lobby with WiFi, coffee and water. Respectful staff who have no need to continually apologize for the inadequacies of their department.


Jan 07, 2025

The guys here are honest and easy to work with. They gave me a couple options based on seeing the car damage in person, and gave me feedback on what they would do if it were their car. I highly recommend Earthling Automotive!


Dec 07, 2024

Good place to take your prius car . The price was right


Dec 07, 2024

Great shop. Good service. Fast.


Dec 07, 2024

I had the pleasure of working with Michael H. He was super knowledgeable and had great customer service skills. Never once did I feel like I was being taking advantage of. These guys are pros and look after your best interest. This is the only shop I trust with my Prius-V and Tesla. They work on gas cars too, but they for sure are experts in Hybrids and Electric cars. Best shop in the city, IMO. Will definitely be coming back.


Dec 07, 2024

I love these people! They, tell what they want to do, explain why, and offer a reasonable price without any surprises. And they are friendly with good coffee! They have kept my hybrid running smoothly for ten years!


Dec 07, 2024

The idiots at my dealership didn’t put the drain plug back when changing my oil, and it had all leaked out. The staff at Earthling were great, and I was inside their building for <2 min total. They sent me photo documentation with the details, ultimately diagnosing the engine as undamaged. This provides some great peace of mind.


Dec 07, 2024

This shop is straightforward and no rip off.


Dec 07, 2024

Very courteous and helpful staff. They did a great job with a routine service of my Kia EV6. I will definitely go back whenever I need them again.


Dec 07, 2024

As always, friendly, fast, honest service. We’ve been bringing our hybrids and EVs to them since they opened.


Dec 07, 2024

I have an e-Golf VW - and have been taking it to the dealership for annual maintenance. However, I usually feel ripped off due to the high cost. This year, I took my car to earthlingauto and had a great experience. I was able to book my appointment online, they were quick and professional, and they performed the following service for $168: Top off fluids as needed Set tire pressures to specification Rotate tires as necessary Install New Maintenance reminder label Reset maintenance reminder Stamp maintenance booklet Perform multipoint inspection Highly recommended!


Nov 07, 2024

Excellent, efficient work -- I appreciated how they explained the issues to me and how they would be fixed. I was very happy with the service.


Nov 07, 2024

Great service at a reasonable price. Easy to check in electronically and done right on time


Nov 07, 2024

I used Luscious Garage for diagnostics for engine overheating and powertrain problem on my Ford Fusion Hybrid. I got the appointment quickly. They have a big waiting lounge with lots of books and magazines. Ran the diagnostic for an hour and gave me an incredibly detailed report. Suggested me to use the dealer garage as warranty might kick in. Great advice. Saved a lot of bucks. They even helped co-ordinate towing from their garage to the dealer's service garage on phone! Very satisfied!
