Our Story

AutoFix Garage has been a trusted name in auto repair in San Francisco's Mission District for over two decades. Founded in 2003 by Ricardo Alvarez, a dedicated and experienced mechanic, AutoFix Garage began as a small, family-owned business with a simple mission: to provide honest, reliable, and affordable car care services to the local community. Ricardo, a San Francisco native, saw a need for a garage that prioritized customer satisfaction and transparency above all else.

Over the years, AutoFix Garage has grown from a modest two-bay shop to a state-of-the-art facility equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and staffed by a team of certified technicians. Despite our growth, we have remained true to our founding principles. We believe in building long-term relationships with our customers based on trust and mutual respect. We take the time to listen to your concerns, explain the repair process in detail, and provide honest recommendations to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely.

Our commitment to excellence extends beyond our technical expertise. We are deeply rooted in the San Francisco community and actively support local initiatives. We believe in giving back to the city that has given us so much. Whether it’s sponsoring local sports teams or participating in neighborhood clean-up events, AutoFix Garage is dedicated to making a positive impact. We’re not just fixing cars; we're building a stronger, more vibrant community, one vehicle, one customer, one relationship at a time. We're proud to be a part of the fabric of San Francisco, and we look forward to serving you for many years to come.
