Rhone Geha I recently had the best experience I have EVER had at an auto repair shop here. My catalytic converter was stolen last week, and I initially went to a different nearby mechanic who quoted me a very price and told me that the repair wouldn’t be possible for 3-6 months due to the part being on nationwide back order. I then went to First Choice for a second opinion, and not only were they able to replace the part THAT DAY, I ended up paying significantly less than what I was quoted at the other shop. Do yourself a favor and go to First Choice Auto Repair if you’re in need of a mechanic. Unlike so many other places, they no not scam you on price and do fantastic work.

Andrea Jones Bruce and his crew are top tier. He fussed at me for the car I bought but he fixed it for me and told me to not buy another car until after he checks it out first.

Eyeworks Studio (eyeworksphoto) 1990 VW Vanagon transmission issues. I went on a Facebook VW specific page asking for a good SF Bay Area transmission repair shop. More than one recommended Broadway Automotive. I took their advice and they were able to fix my transmission on a car where parts are increasingly difficult to find. And the price was fair. Thanks BA&T!

Joseph Morris Ive been here twice with my mid-90s Subaru -- for which it is getting harder to find someone both competent and willing to work on. Waheed has been both -- fixing the shifter and bushings, and then just today replacing a speed sensor that had gone bad. Rates exceptionally reasonable.

Clancy Tenley Took my 1999 eurovan in for smog with a check engine light on. It’s not way to diagnose a smog problem with a 25 year old can but Rio did a thorough job and explained each of the steps involved in a way I could understand. Got the van back with problem solved and a clean smog certificate. Good communication. Highly recommend.

Moon Very reasonable and very honest. Took my Porsche in to replace a battery, in and out in about an hour 30. Mentioned my car needs a major tuneup soon, will definitely come back and work with them.

Jose Zambrano Always get the job done 10 out of 10. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They got me out of a bind many times. Highly recommend this place.

Jacqueline Lee Great Customer Service!
