This is one of those places where you want to give 10 stars. John is the best!!! A true professional. He usually has a dozen cars lined up in front. He says he likes to figure out schedules like a puzzle, so you have to call in advance.His services are WELL worth it. I came in to diagnose a check engine light on a Honda Fit. He immediately took out the scanner to figure out what was wrong (transmission switch) and gave me an estimate. I brought it in the next day and it was done in less than two hours. And then the total cost came out LESS because of the actual work he put in. NO ONE does this. He is such an honest, hardworking guy. I'm not taking my car anywhere else!

I ve been coming to this location to get my tires for over five years. It s on the outskirts of San Francisco but it s worth the drive out. The owners are super friendly and very helpful. They are trustworthy and provide you with great service. When I come for new tires they always have the best recommendations for my car. Just a heads up call ahead to schedule an appointment or to order your tires in advance so you could take your car home the same day.

An honest mechanic! I've worked on cars for years with my auto-mechanic professor cousin back in Chicago. Moving to CA, I've had several mechanics lie to my face. But this mechanic is true! And not overpriced!

Highly professional and knowledgeable. John did a really excellent job fixing some errors made by a prior mechanic and making our vehicle safer and more reliable. Prices were very fair as well. I will definitely trust him with my future car maintenance and repair needs.

Fair, honest, and kind! Everything you should want when working with a mechanic. We've moved all over the U.S. needing mechanics in most cities we visit, and John is definitely one of the best guys we've worked with! He takes time to explain and show you what actually needs repaired and why. His prices are good and his team works fast to get our cars in and out usually in the same day.

I echo all the other 5-star reviews on here. John is the best mechanic: fair prices, great work and I know I will always get an honest assessment.. John got my old Jeep running better than it's ever run before. I can't recommend them highly enough. He turns a stressful situation into something positive and I always feel good about taking my car here. Thanks John!Services: Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Vehicle Inspection, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto maintenance, Battery, Oil change

A great shop. I first came to get my tires changed after buying a used car and all the tread was gone. I then got a nail in my tire and came to fix it. I ended up changing all my tires to a great value set of grippy tires for nearly half what I'd pay for it anywhere else.My girlfriend busted a tire and soon found herself here after I recommended it, since which this shop has been her go-to. Fair prices, honest work and quick turnaround. I hate the dealer mechanic horror stories... honest auto shops all day for me. You won't regret getting your work done here.

They were really helpful, worked quickly, and the price was fair. Didn't attempt to upsell anything and were communicative to boot. My van was too large to get on their lifts, but they were still willing to drive it around the block with me, diagnose the problem with my tires and get it fixed same day. Can't ask much more than that! Thanks Ka-Pa!

Probably one of the best trustful and reasonable auto shop in SF. John, especially is very much reasonable and believable mechanic I've ever seen, and their service is quick and very much reasonable price. I won't hesitate to use their service over and over again. Even thought i didn't ask, he always shows all works he has done to my car, and respectfully he explains what he exactly did, which is amazing for the customer. Suprisingly, price wise, they are very reasonable especially pretty much elsewhere asks at least 20-80 bucks more, and John never did. I really respect his business and enjoy service.

went for my brakes to be fixed they ground rotors to get rust off which probably not need doing they were shinybut they did not bleed brakes so car does not stop as quick as it should.they go though about 30 cars a day so I was expecting a better job but I think they rush work so it is not as good as should be $300 for brake job I think they could do a better job but they put too many cars through

John, the proprietor, got "made" after I purchased 4 new tires for my newly bought Acura. He's been a Goodfella ever since.

This place is awesome!!! The guys here are very nice and quick. In and out in no time at all. They fix your tire/tires soon as you come inside. They have alot of staff on hand to keep it moving. The prices for a used tire are great!! They only take cash no cards just a heads up. I truly prefer them compared to the spot at the end of Palou tire shop. If you need a good used tire this is your place to be. Very professional staff.

John has come highly recommended numerous times. I could not have had a better experience with John and his team. Honest, upfront, good pricing. Instead of trying to sell an unnecessary fix, he tells you what is and is not urgent. Recommended to everyone!

John and his crew are the very, very best. Honest, quick, and flexible. Willing to explain things, give you options, and do great work. I found Ka-Pa years ago when a tow driver recommended him and I lived nearby. I ve moved far across the city since, but getting the good deals, great work, and solid communication at Ka-Pa has made it worth sticking with then.

Skilled, reasonable and honest. John, the owner, is a really nice guy and he knows his stuff. He doesn t over charge either. Make an appointment if you can, as they re usually pretty busy.

All I needed was a shift cable for a Honda!! It has been in their shop for 3 1/2 weeks. I have called consistently, to be told the part has been ordered, then not ordered, canceled and so forth. I was contacted 1 time by the girl up front, that s it. No one ever called me back like she said. My car was never ready or anything, every time she said it would. I can t even begin to tell you how this has put my life in a mess. I lost my job because I don t have a car, my kid has missed school, I even told them that and I still have no idea what is happening to my car. I will never come here again. I just don t understand why?Service: Transmission

John and his team were up front, efficient, honest and really pleasant to deal with. My truck needed a new head gasket a big job and very labor intensive. I got it back within a week and it s running like new at 146k miles.

John provides the best auto and tire service in the Bay Area. His team of workers are of the highest quality and at a very reasonable price compared to other Auto services repair shops. Excellent performance in his field of work and honest too.

No hidden fees. I needed 4 tires mounted and they did the job in under 30 minutes and no hidden fees. $28 per tire out the door. Plus I liked how I can just wait in the lobby. Too many places with the social distancing bs.

Heck yes. They looked crowded as can be, but I was in there in just a moment. They didn't have my size tire, but swapped out my spare for me and changed the oil on my big truck for $51 bucks. Nice and friendly people. Blessed to find it!

I had a flat on the way to work. I left my car there and picked it up after work. I also got it slogged and an oil change. I'll definitely come back as they seemed professional honest.
