Tamm Auto Service

I had a flat tire and they plugged it for a very decent price. Super friendly, fast, and efficient!

Auto Service is challenging when one is highly dependent on the honesty of another. Tamm Auto Service most notably its owner brings quality work, and the utmost in reputable service to its customers.

Today I needed a service of my Honda CRV which was done expertly and at a fair price.

I highly advocate Tamm Auto Service, for its Quality & Value if needing the assistance of a trained auto mechanic.

Convenient peaceful spot to gas up a few blocks from Ocean Beach. Staff is friendly and helpful. Never crowded. Clean. Easy to get in and out quickly.

Stumbled upon these kind folks when I had a flat tire. Personable fellow at the desk offered, and directed me, to free air for the tire. When I couldn't to manage to make it work, he offered help and inflated the tire. He found a nail in the tire and called out the owner.

The owner kindly offered several options, none of which put money in his pocket, and gave me a solution.

So pleased that such a place remains!

I used to take my car to the dealer for everything. I did that regularly for decades because I did trust the dealer until my last visit for an oil change when they tried to upscale over 2K worth of services! WTF??? No way. I began my search for a new mechanic. Thank goodness for other Yelpers, I found Tamm.

I've been here several times now, but I remember my first visit. It was pretty busy, so I did have to wait a while before I was helped. However, while I waited, I spoke to another customer about her experience. She highly recommended Tamm. She makes the trip here even though it is not convenient for her.

After my car was inspected, he told me my car was old but still in good condition. I'm so glad I found them. Now, any time I have a concern about my car, I always make sure I talk to Tamm.

5 stars!! FIVE STARS!! He's the best!! I know what you've heard about mechanics but this man is the truth.

I recently brought my car in because I thought a nail got caught in my tire. He quickly assessed the problem and told me that all my tire needed was some air. He even taught me how to do it, which admittedly I never knew how to do (lol), and gave me a spare air pressure cap that was prev missing from one of my tires.

10/10 I would come back here for him to service any future car needs. It's hard to find such a nice and honest auto repair man these days and he's got a future customer in me!

Wonderful to have this small business in my neighborhood. Tha is friendly, and willing to explain what's happening, but above all, straight.

I recently asked him to replace my radiator on my 20-year-old Honda which appeared to be leaking. He asked a couple of questions and then said "let's have a quick look to make sure of the problem".

He opened the radiator cap and immediately saw that is was damaged (common, apparently) and suggested I run for a few days with the spare cap he had in his drawer of parts.

He was right - replacement cap cost $20. That's the kind of conversation it's nice to have with your mechanic.

I recently gave this place a high rating based on fast friendly service. That was about 10 months ago. So when next I needed work on my car, I went to them. It turned out that they chose to not complete their work to fix my left front window. I now have a window stuck in the up position and with an unattached door panel.
Tha (the owner?) could have installed the broken bracket (that I had fixed using my own time and money based on his recommendation), I was even willing to put in the door panel myself. Instead he chose to have me call back repeatedly only to tell me each time that he was "busy". When I tried to narrow it down to a specific repair date he refused to give me one. He then stated outright that he did not want to complete the job, indicating to me that he would not do so and would only continue to move the date forward ad infinitum.
I was obviously wrong about this guy's work ethic and my previous review. If I could give zero stars, I would. If only I could find a mechanic half as reliable as I gave him credit for. If you know of one (not a relative or friend please) can you please let me know? Thank you.

I needed to get a smog check, and they said I could drop off my car whenever I could. That was great because I was working and couldn't go until later. They told me it would be quick, about 30 minutes, so I planned to wait at the shop.

A few months ago, my door started scratching the fender when I opened it, even though I hadn't been in an accident. I asked if they could check it while they were doing the smog test, and they agreed. When they finished the test, they told me they fixed the door! I was really happy that it was an easy fix. When I paid, they said they could always help with small things like that in the future.

Both the person who helped me and the woman at the shop were really nice, and I appreciate their assistance :)
