Drivers across San Francisco count on us
Great first time experience after moving to the Richmond. I went here after Valvoline tried to push a different service than I specifically requested (transmission fluid drain and fill vs. flush) for my high-mileage 2009 Honda…
For a small neighborhood place, they can give very good service for certain types of cars, mostly older cars.
Excellent and fast service. I had a flat tire after a 24 hour call shift and I had no energy to fix the tire. I drove 1 mile to Tamm’s Auto Service not knowing what to expect. Within 15 minutes they patched up my tire and I was…
Had a last minute brake service done there. Called in and the owner of the shop was supportive and open to take a look at my car. Job was done within half a day, he stayed late to ensure same day service. Fair price, and honest…
Was in S.F. for medical treatment and had a punctured tire and had a 3 hour drive ahead of me. They saw me 1st thing and fixed the puncture, a large bolt. I made it home with no problems. Fast, courteous and inexpensive.

Planning a visit to Tamm Auto Service on Geary
San Francisco Auto Repair connects enquiries with Tamm Auto Service at 7355 Geary Boulevard in the Outer Richmond. Use that shop address when planning a visit; the surrounding service-area pages describe where customers may travel from, not additional workshop locations.
Before heading across San Francisco, call with the vehicle’s year, make, model and the reason for the visit. For a new noise or warning light, describe when it appears: during a cold start, while braking, on a hill or after the car has warmed up. Those observations are more useful than committing to a particular replacement part before an inspection.
If you need to leave the car while you work or arrange a ride home from Geary Boulevard, discuss drop-off and collection before booking. Ask whether the initial visit is for diagnosis or for an agreed repair, what the diagnostic charge covers, and when you should expect an estimate. Confirm any parts availability, completion date and warranty terms for the actual job.
The engine diagnostics, brake repair and oil change pages explain common reasons to contact a shop. Request an appointment with your vehicle details and preferred timing. Sending the form does not reserve a service bay; wait for confirmation before making the trip.
