The Dealership Alternative

San Bruno Auto Center is an wonderful alternative to the auto dealerships.  Many of our existing customers used to go to the dealership and have changed to our shop.  This page features some of the reasons why we are such a great choice.

Quality Parts and Fluids Manufacturer Specified

The parts we use to repair and maintain your vehicles are the same quality or better than what the manufacturer recommends.  We also use OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts when that is specified too.  That means we use the same kind of parts and fluids that you would get at the dealership.

We treat you like a person, not a number

Many people that come to us the first time find it refreshing.  We actually take the time to talk with you to learn more about your car, driving habits and concerns about your car.

We Are a More Personal Auto Repair Shop

Because we are a smaller auto repair shop, we really get to know our customers.  This makes your entire transaction with us more friendly, less stressful and certainly more enjoyable.  Once we get to know your cars, we know what it takes to make sure it gives you the peace of mind that you require.

Equally, or Better Qualified

Our technicians have what it takes to perform your service.  At the dealership, you don’t know the technician that is working on your car.  In most cases, they don’t have the high level of training that our technicians have.  We have ASE Certified Technicians with great auto repair experience and the equipment to service your car right the first time.

Same Resources as the Dealerships

Many of our customers are surprised to find we have access to the same vehicle information that most dealerships have.  We know about any technical service bulletins for your car and are connected to 1000′s of other automotive professionals nationwide.  This helps us perform the highest level of service for your particular vehicle.

We Also Perform Your Under-Warranty Required Maintenance

The federal law states that the required maintenance for your vehicle does NOT have to be performed at the dealership.  This means you don’t have to endure the dealerships for your under-warranty maintenance.  Instead, you can enjoy a more pleasurable experience here at our shop.
