San Francisco FAQ

I live in SF with nowhere to park a project. Can my car stay at the shop?

Yes. Monthly parking is an add-on for long builds and engine-out projects, and private storage lockers start at $16/mo. Ask us about current availability.

Is it worth crossing the bridge for one job?

Yes, even for a quick oil change. Better yet, stack a few jobs into one trip. Your hours roll over and never expire, so nothing goes to waste.

Can I get there without a car?

Yep. Coliseum BART is about a 10-minute walk, so you can drop a long-term project off and ride home.

I’ve never used a lift. Is that a problem?

Nope. Everyone does a free lift safety training before their first session, and there’s always someone around to ask.
