I drove up to San Mateo from Los Angeles a few months ago. As I was approaching San Mateo, I noticed that my BMW X5 was billowing smoke, so I popped the hood and noticed that the valve cover had a pretty huge leak. I called San Mateo Automotive Service the next day on Saturday, but I think the mechanics were busy at the time, and no one was able to pick up my call, so I reached out to like 5 other mechanics around the area, and eventually made an appointment with another mechanic to have my car fixed a couple days later. Mohammad from San Mateo Automotive Service called me back soon afterwards, and he was very professional and straightforward; He told me that he had availability that day (which was amazing), and he gave me a price that was 20% less than the other mechanic that I had found; I didn't even bargain - I just said yes, and immediately brought my car in. At around 7pm, he called me and told me that my car was done (they close at 5pm on Saturdays). He stayed late because he wanted me to have my car back that day. He also noticed that there were a few bolts and screws that were missing on some of the panels on the engine bay, and he replaced those at no additional cost. My only regret was that I made him wait a bit because my Uber driver had a delay. Mohammad and San Mateo Automotive Services rocks! I'm a garage mechanic myself, and taking off the valve cover for a BMW X5 requires quite a lot of work. I would trust this guy fully to work on my car. His prices were very fair, he's trustworthy, and he's super knowledgeable on European cars. I just wish his shop was in Los Angeles ;)!Service: Engine repair

Mohammad has performed two repairs on my car and my experience has been great both times. His expertise in European cars is perfect for my BMW, and he was able to easily diagnose and resolve its issues. He works very fast, and offers fair prices as well. I ll definitely come back whenever future problems may arise.Services: General repairs & maintenance, BrakesServices: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

I brought my 2000 Toyota 4 runner to Sharif (the shop owner) because the check engine light was on. He was able to inspect the car really quickly and offer a good price for the repair. He s super friendly, gave me updates throughout the process, and his service was really quick as I was able to pickup my car the following day. I ll be coming back if I ever need auto services in the future. Thanks for your help Sharif!!
