Extra Care Auto Repair – San Bruno

Mike is the most trustworthy and considerate mechanic I've met. I had a unique issue with my car that was preventing it from passing smog, and Mike worked with me for over a month to help solve the problem. He was communicative and honest throughout the entire process and took the time to explain things to me in detail. In the end, he was able to help my car pass smog and saved me a lot of money in the process. I will return to Mike for all my future auto service needs. Thank you, Mike and team!

My car was hit while parked and was undrivable.
The owner Mike was extremely helpful over the phone while trying to get a tow. He started working on my car the same day he got it.
He's very transparent about the work and costs.
I am extremely satisfied with the repairs that were done. The turn around is unbelievable and the charges are very fair.
I would and will recommend Extra AutoCare!
Thanks for everything!

I took my car for regular maintenance here and found I had a cracked axle boot. He told me I only needed to replace one side, saving my money right off the bat. I was concerned about alignment, and he explained that it doesn't really save you that much gas mileage unless the car is really veering off course. Alignments are way oversold. He noticed my transmission fluid was too dark, notified me promptly and replaced it. He even threw in a tire rotation for free. That also fixed the alignment issue. Mike is an honest guy, and I will definitely be taking my car back here.

This review is MUCH overdue. I came to Mike in an emergency because my 2004 Pontiac Grand AM randomly broke down on me with a peculiar problem … I was on my way to work when my car suddenly started flashing Service Engine Soon alongside extreme trembling and accelerating was no longer an option because the sound emitting from the engine was frankly clear it would cause further damage if I drove it much longer.

For me, as a girl, it’s extremely anxiety inducing coming into a repair shop with very little knowledge about engines, cars, costs, etc. I was honest and straight forward with Mike about my desires about fixing and also NOT fixing because of my car’s age and also financial obstacles. Through the whole process, which took a few days, Mike was SO patient with me, diligent and dedicated to find what was wrong with my car which he DID!!! 😭😩

Mike was honest, patient and most importantly, never pressured me to make decisions I never felt comfortable making. He was helpful, earnest and very efficient in his work. He was so rad and showed me the aftermath of what had happened to my car (pieces, area, etc) I appreciate his work ethic, and I HIGHLY recommend him with ANY issue you might be facing!!

He definitely remains as my go to guy if any issue were to arise in the future again :-)

LOVE this place, Mike is absolutely the best! They were able to take my broken down car when nobody else was able (which is nobody’s fault, everyone is busy) so I really appreciated that he squeezed us in. Mike was great at communicating and being honest the entire way through! Had the best experience and my car is all fixed up. Been coming back for all my car service needs and the care and service is just as amazing each time.
