If you guys want the absolute best and are willing to make the drive (wherever you are in the Bay), then go to
High-Tech Automotive Service in Burlingame. The mechanic and owner there is George.
Positive Points:- Honest
- Pricey, but affordable
- Experienced in many Euro cars (told me his father was a mechanic and learned from him since he was a kid). I've seen him work on Maserrati, BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, Ferrari, etc.
- Expert at diagnosing issues & won't charge you $200+ like a BMW dealership will
- Can do repairs and aftermarket installs (he's a bit weary about aftermarket parts as he likes to follow the laws)
- He is a very nice person and is willing to work with you if you are too, and will call to give you updates on the progress of your car
Cons:- Only con I ever had is that he may take a little long. However, he is a 1-man shop. So, if you arrange a time with him, he will do his best to accommodate you.
Conclusion:- His Yelp is 5-star with over 100 reviews. Read them for yourself.
