beautiful workshop, many times I have always addressed with respect listen to help make the right decision, and that it is not a small thing to repair only in fact nothing superfluous, thanks to this service I saved not a little money. thank you very much I will definitely contact you more than once

Took my Porsche here after reading the excellent reviews. The techs wasted no time, working with Kirill to figure out the issue (bad motor/transmission mounts + new exhaust installation), replaced the mounting parts in 1/3 of the time other actual Porsche shops quoted me at and fixed my issue within 3 hours. Charged me exactly the amount that I was quoted (or maybe less), and was flexible with discussing the problem and potential solutions. Definitely will make more stops here if anything acts up.

I almost didn't want to write this because I want to keep this place all to myself.. but these guys are awesome. Professional, quick, fair prices, and they hold themselves accountable. Seriously, look no further for your mechanic needs.

An honest, efficient shop — Kirill runs a solid, dependable service, and his shop has become my go-to for all the fixes and maintenance that has to be done on my car.

Awesome service, great prices 👍

I had a transmission issue with my Mazda 3; its TCM was broken. I tried to get it fixed at other service centers. One charged me a lot just for diagnostics, and I had to wait three days just to receive an estimate. At others, I could only book an appointment for another diagnostic a week later. This car issue turned into a huge headache for me until I called KSH. They gave me an estimate within an hour. I dropped my car off the next morning and picked it up a few hours later! Kirill is really experienced and knowledgeable. They didn’t try to overcharge me, as I already knew the prices from other services. I can’t recommend KSH enough!

Never gotten my car in and out so quick. Professional, fast, responsive, reasonable pricing. After picking up from the service I was hearing some rattling under the hood, I came back and guys fixed it in 15 minutes. I will back, definitely recommend

Great shop to get your car fixed for an affordable price.


May 07, 2024

Best auto shop in San Francisco. THE best customer service. I have been back several times and won't be changing where I go anytime soon. Straightforward with what needs to be done and how much it will cost. I would highly recommend KSH.


Apr 07, 2024

Honest pricing, fast and good mechanics, transparent with details. I’ve been to a dozen mechanics in SF, these guys are the best all around. Highly recommend, we’ll be back! Thank you KSH!

After my car was fixed, I thought I would never ever go there. If a customer comes to you for a puncture, and insists that he doesn't want a new tire, you should not install a new tire and ask him to pay, especially if it was not covered by the insurance and that is a main concern for him. Also, when you install a new tire, you are expected to do alignment too. I shouldn't have to return the car for another round of service and be charged another bill. Remember that you can only milk a customer once, but if you treat them right, you can have them for life. You'd never ever see me again and I make sure nobody in my circle ever visits you to have the same experience.

I spoke with Kirill about replacing the water pump in my 2004 Saturn L300 wagon. He had me in the next morning and had the job done by the next. I also had them do an oil change for me while my car was in their shop. They did a great job at both! Definitely recommended!

Excellence and Perfection!


Feb 07, 2024

Great job on my Ford explorer and very helpful with getting the cost of parts down. They will be the only shop I will use from now on.


Feb 07, 2024

I have taken a few of my vehicles over the last 10 years to KSH and I have always left there feeling content that what I brought it there for has been fixed and that I didn’t pay more then i needed to. That’s asking a lot in the car repairs space..we all know the nightmare scenarios of trying to find a mechanic who’s work crew and himself are competent and know what their doing, not over stating the work that needs to be done, padding the cost of the bill for that shop or worse claiming to have fixed or replaced a part that they didn’t even touch but charges you anyway. Well I can say without a doubt none of those kinds of practices are occurring here! It’s been an honest and reputable mechanics garage from performing service on my Mercedes to a couple of jaguars I’ve owed to yet another jaguar, the only reason I can afford to keep a unique car around like a jag of any year, is because of decent mechanics that work at KSH AUTOMOTIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO! Give them a try, you won’t regret it. The proof is on all of the many authentic customers who have left positive feedback steadily for years! That’s earned not given lightly.

I was quoted $4,000 at the Audi service center to unclog and and replace the sunroof tubes and replace the upper timing cover on my car. I got it done at KSH for $800 total and they were so fast, very communicative, and gave me an honest breakdown of their pricing at the end. Going back to these guys every single time.


Feb 07, 2024

One of the best car service in San Francisco 🔥🔥🔥


Feb 07, 2024

Straightforward + no upsell. Took my car here after a bad experience with another shop and he walked me through where they were wrong + what they missed by showing me the parts from my car, etc. Honest team which I really value when looking for car servicing.


Feb 07, 2024

The people here are very trustworthy. They’re honest about what I actually need done. As a woman it’s nice to have a car repair place that I know isn’t going to take advantage of me.


Feb 07, 2024

This is one of the hunest nicest shop I'v ever know in the USA,


Feb 07, 2023

Excellent service for fair prices. Do yourself a favor and come here! Kirill is a true professional and helped me with everything I needed. Cheers.


Feb 07, 2023

I found my go to place. These guys are the best! Trustworthy.


Feb 07, 2023

Kirriil is whip smart and doesn't waste any time. My transmission light had gone off and I was worried especially since I barely drive and have less than 50K miles on my vehicle. He started at his computer, talking to himself pondering the mystery when suddenly --DING DING DING---he cracked the code! It was a sensor issue that's common in my vehicle. I was able to corroborate that as over the years, I've had numerous warning lights go off that turned out to be false alarms and the mechanics would just turn the lights off. But I would still feel uneasy not knowing if and when there was a real problem, would my sensor be reliable? Without my even raising the question he and his employee tracked down the new sensor I needed to have a more reliable reading in the future! You can tell his employees also respect him and it's just a high vibes kind of place: humor, professionalism, efficiency, and personableness.


Feb 07, 2023

They guy who answered the phone has the worst actitud ever it seems like the doesn’t like his life!


Feb 07, 2023

Took the car in for an engine noise, spent $1000 to fix a long with tire rotation. Their fix didn't solve the problem, and also I experienced new tire bumping noise after rotation. Took the car back to the shop three times, and each time the owner wouldn't look at it, and told me that everything is ok, loud noises is normal on a Toyota Corolla.

Truly Fast, reliable, affordable!!! I was just traveling through town and my car broke down mid-city commute. Luckily I had time to get an estimate from a non-local mechanic friend and started to call around local shops for estimates while awaiting for the tow to arrive. KSH was not only nearly the cheapest in town, the owner Kirill communicated so clearly, gave me a thorough estimate with cost break down, and a very clear timeframe. I brought my car right over. As I was on a road trip, I had most of what I own in my trunk. I was in a very vulnerable situation (except for having close friends in town). The next morning Kirill followed through with communicating his timeframe, the part arrived just when we estimated and he completed it timely. At the end, my car was fixed fast, he kept his word every step of the way, and charged me the same estimate he gave me initially, and all my valuables were just as I left then. Thank you, thank you.
