Having to work with a body shop usually means something bad happened and my situation was no different. After being hit in a gas station parking lot, I was not looking forward to having to deal with my insurance, a body shop and a rental car company. However, when I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly and smiling face, Kyan, that took care of everything. I had very little information for her to go off of, but Kyan took what I had, contacted my insurance, and called Enterprise to pick me up. In what seemed like no time my car was being fixed and I was driving a rental car home. I had set aside my entire afternoon to take care of all of this and arrived home wondering what to do with all my free time.
While I really hope to never have to go back, if the unfortunate happens, there is no other body shop I will consider.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Glen K.San Francisco, United States0917 Mar 2024
Great customer service start to finish. Brought my car in for a fender bender bumper replacement. Karina looked at my car and walked me through the different steps of repair, was very thorough and gave me information about securing a rental car while my car was being repaired. Mike made sure I was satisfied with the work that was performed and assured me that the repair was 100% guaranteed. Very happy with the end result, they did a fantastic job. Thanks, A+.

I was told that they are busy and cannot accept anyone until next week. I asked that their website shows they have availability afternoon today and he said he doesn't care what the website says. I tried and did the online appointment to be able to double check it. Yes, it worked. Please check the pic attached.
I also asked about tire changes at tire shops (maybe I should go there instead of a car mechanic ), again he said he doesn't know what tires shops are doing. First off, he is LYING. Second, he seems he doesn't know about what car mechanics or tire shops are doing. Besides, his attitude was pretty hostile and aggressive. I guess it is because of I am a woman, coming from another state and I have an accent. Pretty discriminatory, misogynistic and racist.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hello,
I am responding to each of the two- one star reviews you have left so far today on yelp. You are reviewing the WRONG business. Please take them down. Alioto's is a collision repair shop located on the second floor of the building at 1970 McAllister. Downstairs is a mechanical (service) shop whose company name also starts w the letter 'A'. Supposedly you needed service work and spoke to someone downstairs at the mechanical shop. This other business told you they could not help you. You never interacted with anyone at Alioto's (upstairs). I can only assume you looked up at the building and saw the newer sign to the left above the ramp going upstairs and assumed we were related to the shop you spoke to. We are not. We were told you then went to your car and made an appointment for Alioto's, not the mechanical shop. That is why when you went to our website it showed appointments, but when you went back to the person at A******* mechanical, the person didn’t understand what you were saying. I would kindly ask that you remove the multiple one star reviews you left for Alioto's. Again, you have left all of your poor reviews on the WRONG business. - Ralph G.San Francisco, United States01216 Feb 2024
I needed a side-view mirror replaced.
The entire process was very efficient, from the estimate, getting the parts, to the installation.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lori M.San Francisco, United States972123028 Oct 2022
I moved into a new condo building and parking is really tight. I managed to scrape the pole that was next to me. After I was done swearing at it, I called my insurance company and they referred me to this shop. I am not someone who is easily impressed, so believe me when I say the work they did is amazing. The car is perfect, and it looks as good as the day I bought it. I cannot recommend this shop more highly. I hope I never damage my car again, but if I do, I will be taking it back here.

I was scheduled for a repair estimate here by Geico Insurance. (Not my insurance company, but that of the young woman who merged into me.) The shop is on the second floor, up a steep ramp.
My car is a 1990 Toyota Corolla, so you may imagine what it looks like. I've owned it for 22 years. The damage was pretty much just a slight dent and a long scrape down the driver's side of the car.
A young man named Juan was filing in for the manager that day, and right off the top he gave me some great advice. Then, he proceeded to take photos, and buff out the scratch. I was pretty amazed.
So I didn't get any body work done, but the experience was so pleasant, that I will definitely recommend this shop to my friends.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Charlie K.San Francisco, United States242138 Feb 2023
Alioto's is a GEICO network shop which is how I came to them. I felt they were honest from the start, and they did an excellent job on my Yaris, it looks new again. I'd recommend them based on my positive experience.

Found this shop through my insurance. Went with them since they had the most convenient hours. The team is very friendly and helpful. They kept me updated throughout the process and got my car in and out! What I appreciated the most was their pricing and their work was so seamless. My car looks good as new. It's hard to find a shop in SF that won't charge you an arm an a leg. I hope i don't ever need to bring my car back for work but if I do, I'll de be back here

Needed my side view mirror replaced and went in to Alioto's Garage for a quote. Mike was super helpful, quick, and responsive helping me figure out what I needed done and how much it would cost.
The part was promptly ordered and once I went in for the repair was serviced immediately.
It turned out great! Highly recommend.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mark D.Sacramento, United States39246320 Nov 2022
Dealing with body shops can be unnerving, but not at Alioto's. They were easy to work with, delivered when promised, and best of all, the quality of the work was excellent. I highly recommend this shop.

Two years into living in the city, I was involved in my first car accident. Alioto's was one of the garage options that insurance presented me with to fix the auto body damage.
I was impressed and completely satisfied with my Alioto's experience from the first interaction to picking up the car after repairs.
The car looked great! Huge thank you to Juan for his professionalism. He made the process an absolute breeze.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
