DAS Auto Service

What can I say Oscar and his crew are quite possibly the best mechanics I have ever come across.

My Jetta needed the 80k service and the check engine light kept coming on. I had called several other shops in the area and then I called Oscar. He was the first shop to explain to me what would be done at this service interval without me having to ask any questions. Then I explained to him what a dealership had done to fix the check engine light and first thing out of his mouth was, it was the wrong fix, you should ask for your money back. well that was over a year ago and not worth the effort but this was the first time a mechanic said that.

I got a call that my car was ready but I was out, they were going to stay late so I could pick my car up but I opted to leave it there over night as we were going to be really late. So I picked my car up the next morning and found out the check engine light was due to a wiring harness and most mechanics don't like to do this. All of this was explained by Oscar. To top it off my Wife's check engine light was on and while we were there they checked the code, and reset set the light as it was just a gas cap issue.

This shop is the real deal friendly, honest and very well priced. If you need your car serviced give them a call. Thanks to Oscar and his mechanics for a wonderful experience.

Fantastic, polite, professional mechanics! They have my business as long as I live and drive in the Bay Area.

I've been bringing my Honda civic for basic maintenance like oil changes and brakes for about 4+ years now and I've never had concerns or complaints.

The prices are fair and they communicate very transparently about the state of your car.

I've been coming to this place for many years now, since when they were located at the gas station up the street.
I never had an issue, prices have always been fair and service was always what/ how it should be.
One thing many people are skeptical about is when shops tell them about "things to do in the car" and they feel it could be made up. I never had this problem here!
As a matter of fact, every time I've been there and they recommended something, it was stuff that I already knew that I had to take care of (for example brakes needing to be changed etc).

I had always recommended them and the last time I did my neighboor replied back to me later thanking me for the recommendation.

Keep it up guys!

This is the 10/10 service I've been waiting for! From booking the appointment, to check-in, and check-out, the service was smooth and easily understandable. About 30 minutes after check-in, I received a call with the estimate for the day and what would be done. I requested a thermostat change and coolant flush, which was doable, and the mechanic recommended a transmission fluid change as well. They explained exactly why this was needed specifically for my car, something no mechanic has done for me before without asking. The pricing was more than reasonable and very affordable. I agreed to the services and was informed to come collect my car about 4 hours after that call.

Previously, I had gone to a mechanic I thought would have my best interest in mind because they were a referral from my partner's family that had been using them for 10+ years. Unfortunately, this was not the case and I felt scammed by them from multiple visits looking back. I was quoted nearly double the price of what I paid at Das, for the same thermostat change and coolant flush as well as an oil change. I got the oil change done somewhere else but was pleasantly surprised with Das' prices due to the previous quote. I will 100% be coming back to Das for further car needs. Thanks guys!

Thank you Lalo for the brake fluid flush, addressing the check engine light and for the extended days of parking

The breaks on my Acura were making a grinding noise for some time, but I didn't notice this, because the ELS stereo is usually blaring. One day, I heard the sound and knew the breaks needed service.

I went on Yelp, looked around for a local shop, and found DAS Auto Service. It's an extremely well run business. I peeked into the garage, and it's so clean and organized, you could eat off the floor.

I know other people who got screwed on break service, paying $1200+ for back break pads and rotors. These guys did it for $425.

Not only was the price right, but they did the work quickly. I brought my car in at 1pm and was home by 3:30.

These guys have my patronage for as long as I live in Daly City. They don't do everything, but they do a lot more than you'd expect.

I've taken my car here 3xs.
First two times, the work was done fine. Only complaint is lack of care about getting oil on rugs, while working on cars. I'm sure my situation isn't the norm because my interior is all white cream, including the rugs. So first few times took it to the dealer to detail the oil stains.

The last visit will be final visit. The mechanical service appeared fine. They did a service B, replaced the auxiliary battery and replaced the emergency brake that was getting stuck. While handling above items I get a call back brakes also needed.

Major problem with the last visit is two fold:

#1) There were 2 other women in the shop when I came in and it just seemed odd (not impossible, but suspect) that all 3 of us were told we needed new brakes. I don't know about the other drivers, but I don't drive my car that much and it's regularly getting serviced. This made me say,'Humm, not sure".

#2) The following week I took my car in for the Dmv smog. I've never had any problems with the car or the smog process. This time was different. They couldn't run the diagnostic because the cable part wasn't where it was supposed to be. This led another shop showing me a few areas that were not secure and it of alignment. After returning to DAS.. they addressed the areas that were related to their repairs. It really should have been handled with the work done. One area was a large screw under the steering wheel. I really hadn't notified the screw which was half in and half out, but I had noticed the car sadly driving as smoothly as normal. After securing as it should have been originally... the car is now back to the normal smooth handling.
At the end of the day, sloppy workmanship on a $2,000 job. And those were just items I could see, which impeded the smog.
Not Impressed...

We saw their business here in Yelp and they have high rates. Tried them today. We called yesterday and Lalo gave us quotes (all reasonable) and they made an appt for me.
I got the car and all running great and problem resolved.
Quan and Lalo were all awesome. Will definitely come back here.

5/5 for their service, location, and environment.

I was visiting my mom when I realized it may be a good time to get an oil change. I called them early morning to ask if they allowed any walk-ins and they said yes. I can definitely tell they get busy, so I highly recommend setting up and appointment!

When I got there, they were super nice to me and let me know that my car would be done in an hour. I sat in their waiting room and my car was done before I knew it.

In the 35 minutes I was sitting in the waiting room, 5 other people showed up after me. I definitely recommend setting up an appointment with them because I could easily see a customer waiting at least 4 hours for their vehicle since they have exceptional customer service. Their garage and waiting room is clean, and the men that work there are nice and are pretty laid back.

All-in-all, my car was great, came back the way I left it, and the guys there were nice to me. Can't complain! Great experience. Would come back again.

Very professional with asking about my car needs and possible issues. They communicated with a possible time frame for fixing the car. As well as, called back within a reasonable time frame to give the results of the inspection and discussed options for fixing my car. I will definitely return my car for maintenance.

DAS does it right!

Been here several times in past 12 months since I needed a new shop. The staff is friendly, professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. My vehicle has received a range of repairs from common to the very uncommon. Their pricing is fair (subjective, of course).

They are very accommodating; performing repairs asap. They saved me a lot of headaches with their ability to quickly diagnose the problem, order the necessary parts, and perform repairs.

I am very appreciative of the people and their services. Support this business. It's a gem.
