My Subaru side mirror popped off of my car today and I popped by Emerald for help reattaching it.
While it took me half an hour to unsuccessfully semi-reattach it, they immediately dropped everything and reattached it for free. It took the Emerald employee about 5 minutes of effort and he didn't request payment and was friendly even though my fix was so silly.
I've gotten many recommendations to come here from neighbors and now I see why -- friendly, responsive, and helpful. Thank you!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Korynn G.San Francisco, CA3664455Mar 9, 2023
IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A SIGN HERE IT IS:
I sadly hit a pot hole and jammed a large bolt into my tire leaving my first job on to my second shift. In a panic and stressed about time I stopped my Emerald's since it's down the street from my house. Assuming the worse I pulled up, hoped out of the car, and asked if there is any space for my car to be looked at. Immediately the problem was diagnosed and found a large bolt in my front wheel. The technician patched my wheel in 10 minutes and was sent on my way.
I can not thank them enough, truly saved the day and saved my self from having a stage 5 mental break down.
Do yourself a favor and deal with the local experts.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Liam K.San Francisco, CA03Jun 25, 2024
Gary helped us repair our 2007 Hyundai Elantra. He was super professional, thorough, chill, and went above and beyond at a more than fair price. Would absolutely go back to Emerald auto if our car needs fixing in the future :)

My brakes were shot out -- I was surprised when going to get my car while getting gas. I called to see when they could get me in and they were able to slot me in the next morning. I had it towed over (they knew I needed a solution fast and could have gouged me) and they quoted me a fair price and had it done end of day. Highly recommend.

I had a major engine problem (water pump and thermostat)
Gary did a spectacular job in replacing the items faster than I expected.
He's incredibly knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommended.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Michelle Y.Naperville, IL812815Jul 10, 2023
Did a full front brake replacement (pads, sensors, etc) and was a very seamless experience. I made an appointment about two weeks ago, dropped it off on the day of the appointment, and picked it up at the end of the day. Quote they gave was $400 and I paid just around that, $425. Clear communication, easy process, would definitely come back and recommend.

Emerald has taken great care of my aging car on a number of occasions. They're responsive, diligent, easy to schedule with, and their pricing is very reasonable. I've gone to a few shops in the decade of owning my car, and Emerald is probably the best and most reliable.

GARY TOOK CARE OF MY NATHAN ( AUDI Q4 CONVERTIBLE). Just to change my battery and fixed my left back break light.
My first time here, no qualms. Straight forward, made me feel comfortable.
He gave me the assurance and I trusted him. That's very important in any transaction or any whom ever you are dealing with.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Cindy J.San Francisco, CA010Feb 16, 2024
I consistently have great experiences here! I'm a recent client at Gary's shop but my boyfriends family has been going to him for over 25 years. It's a true testament to the solid work he does - never feel like he's trying to up-sell or pull one over on me. Highly recommend!
