We specialize in foreign auto repair on all makes and models

  • Hybrid, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, Honda, Mini Coopers, Subaru, Toyota and more!

  • We keep your engine running smoothly. Every car and driver is different. We make sure you are getting the correct service according to the type of engine oil, the age and make of your vehicle and your driving habits.

  • Preventative engine maintenance including replacing spark plugs, wires, filters and other worn parts. Some signs there might be a problem are your car has trouble starting, car stalls while it's running, the car makes strange sounds or you notice lowered fuel efficiency. Keep you car in top shape by making sure you get regular tune-ups.

  • Your electrical system needs regular checkups. The alternator keeps the battery charged. The starter gets the engine going. Some things in the system include lights, gauges, windows, AC and more.

  • To avoid being stranded by a battery problem, We inspected the battery at every oil change. Signs you might need a new battery: A slow starting engine, the check engine light is on, a bad or funky smell, corrosion issue and age.

  • Keep it smooth, flush your transmission every 3 years or 40 to 50K miles (most cars). Sometimes problems happen before your next service . Warning signs: strange or even grinding noise, problems shifting, slippage when shifting gears, unexplained surging of your vehicle, and slow to move after placing the vehicle in gear.

  • Your brakes are made up of several components. Over time each of them will inevitably wear out. Have them checked regularly to keep you and your loved ones safe.

    Testimonials

    I have been bringing our two cars and small pickup truck to Joe now for several years because I have found him to be VERY honest and principled, with a great work ethic.  He is a wonderful mechanic who always explains everything that has to be done very clearly, and he always is up-front with the work I need and also tells me what can be postponed until later.  I trust him implicitly with my cars, and do not hesitate to recommend him as a top-notch mechanic who knows his trade very well.  He is also the nicest person who really cares about his clients.  I would have given him more stars if they were available.  Awesome, Joe!!

    On more occasions that followed I had cause to take my car in to Joe, and at every turn he proved himself to be the most honest, friendly, and all-around top-notch mechanic I’ve had the pleasure to know

    There are times when you want to keep a secret, so that a place doesn’t get too busy.. but then there are times when the secret is too good to keep! Metric Tech has been one of those best kept secrets.

    No one else touches our cars besides Joe! Highly recommend this shop and have told anyone who asked for a recommendation to come here.

    Hands down, the best mechanic. We trust Joe with our family’s vehicles and not only is he trustworthy, he is completely honest with quotes and estimated time that the car will be in the shop.

    Very reasonable pricing and he works on different types and models of cars!

    I hit a fat pothole on a recent road trip & it sounded expensive. I took it to Joe to check it out. He took care of me, I was able to chill in comfortable waiting room while he inspected. It wasn’t as major as I thought. Joe is good mechanic and a better person. I tell all my friends & Family to come here.

    Best mechanic in the peninsula.  Reasonable prices and good turnaround time on repairs!  I have recommended Joe to most of my friends and family members and they have been trusting and going to him for all their repairs and vehicle maintenance for years now.  He works on domestic and imports!

    Gino S, Pacifica

    Joe is the best-I will only go to him from now on. His price was a quarter of what I was quoted at my usual place. He was thorough, honest, did quality work and as a bonus is walking distance from my house. I will recommend him to everyone.

    Michelle L, San Mateo

    My experience here with Joe was absolutely great!  Joe is a very nice guy and went way above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience at his shop.  Super friendly to my kid, even gave him a little hot rod to take home!  He got the work done quickly and did everything for a very reasonable price.  I highly recommend this place to everybody.  Thanks Joe!
