Best Car Mechanic in San Francisco.....Over 15 Years trained by Porsche Dealer 5 Star Rating - World class

Today was the day after Thanks Giving and lucky for me, Sokol answered the phone and was open for business as he took took care of my Porsche for many years at the Oakland Dealership whose business is now closed. Thanks to Sokol, the owner of Euro Motorcars I was able to get my car repaired and done is good hands as he has over 15 years working on Porsche cars and trained by Porsche Dealerships. I came in with a blown coolant mechanism and it turned out my engine block was cracked and needed to be replaced which he recognized and repaired. Everything was done that day and I was able to drive the car away with the confidence of having my car close to new again. Thanks so much Sokol...its nice to have confidence in a Mechanic that knows his stuff and gets things done the right way. I even got a discount for being a first time customer to his new shop.....beats paying an arm and a leg to the Dealership!

Thanks again....Your new customer for life. Dr. Rob

Pros: Knowledge, Timely repair (same day), Hard Worker, Owner run and operates shop

Reliable shop to go 5 Star Rating - World class

I should have done this review sooner, but since I never wrote a review online it took me awhile to get it through.
Thank you, Sokol I have my headache gone.
Im a Volkswagen lover, but my car did not treat me the same way. It has different small and big problems since I bought it. I have been patient and trying to deal with it until recently the check engine light. First I failed the smog check without knowing I would fail anyway, then spent $300 to replace the coolant temperature sensor, but its still on. I went to several shops. Codes were pulled out, P0420, P0171 I was told by the professional dealer that I had to replace CAT that would cost $1000, . I was frustrated and hopeless. I am a girl and know nothing about cars, but I had to start learning from the info on the web, CAT, sensors, mass airflow. But I have to have it pass the smog!
I told Sokol, I have to trust someone, after I found his shop online. He checked it, replaced some parts, did this and that ., and most important, its fixed and passed the Smog!!!. Nice job! He even replaced my broken oil try for FREE!! Nice guy.

Excellent service and prices 5 Star Rating - World class

I have an older Audi so it can get expensive but Sokol provides more than dealer quality service at prices well below dealer levels. He is also great about educating me about the car and how to keep it running well.

Pros: Super professional, very reasonable on costs
Cons: Having to take my car to a mechanic...

A real professional 5 Star Rating - World class

Since I base many of my choices from the testimonials of others, I wanted to share my experiences with Euro MotorCars.

When I brought my 2001 Audi A4, I was panicking. I just purchased this car and found out after that the 1.8Turbo had a series of sludging problems and blown motors. My engine oil pressure light was coming on and I thought my engine was about to go (which would mean I would lose a huge amount of money on my car for a new motor). A bad, very bad scene...

Just like I read here, Sokol, the owner listened to me completely and helped walk me through the steps of what could be the possible remedies. From the moment I drove up the ramp, it was like I had a family member in the auto business. He took care of my care, performed basic (needed) service, a new timing belt, plugs, water pump etc and also tried to find out why the oil light was coming on. He told me of the Audi extended warranty on this vehicle (did not know this) and even contacted a dealer on my behalf in case it would come to that.

He was unable to duplicate the problem in the shop, however I did 30 miles later. And upon his initial idea of running an engine flush, Idid just that. The car now has an additional 1,700 hundred miles since seeing him a month ago and no more engine oil light. My car is running great!

What prompted me to write this review was just a few days ago he called me to see how my car was doing. Four weeks after seeing him. Now that is the kind of service I can believe in and I wanted to share that.

Give him a call or drop the by shop, he has the credentials as he does really seem to care.

Best Audi Shop In San Francisco 5 Star Rating - World class

The guys were great. I moved here from Italy . My poor baby 2003 Audi S4 got sick. I took it to Euro Motorcars after trying twice a local dealer. After I met Sokol the shop owner I was at ease. Without wasting anytime he checked my car and within 20 minutes I had a quote on job.Within 2 hours I was out of there.He reminds me of my brother who is also mechanic in Italy and always fixed my cars when I lived back in Europe.MyAudi will never go anywhere else.
ciao Arabella

Pros: trustworthy , very proffesional
