About us

A neighborhood shop that explains the work.

Ironside Auto Works started as a two-bay garage with one simple rule: treat every customer's car the way we'd want ours treated. That rule hasn't changed — the shop has just gotten bigger.

Our technicians work on everything from commuter sedans to work trucks and late-model European cars. Before we touch anything, we'll call you, walk you through what we found and give you a written estimate. If something can wait, we'll tell you that too.

We use quality parts, keep our equipment current, and stand behind our repairs with a written warranty. Most of our work comes from repeat customers across South San Francisco, San Bruno, Daly City, Millbrae, San Mateo, Pacifica — and the people they send our way.

  • Transparency

    Photos and explanations for every recommendation.

  • Workmanship

    Done once, done right, and checked before it leaves.

  • Satisfaction

    If it's not right, bring it back. We'll make it right.
