Porsche Repair Serving San Francisco
San Francisco Porsche owners drive 19 minutes south to Express Auto for specialist service unavailable at most Bay Area shops. We perform IMS bearing upgrades on 996/997 911s, PDK transmission service, Cayenne coolant pipe repairs, and full Porsche maintenance — at independent shop pricing.
Free shuttle to San Bruno BART keeps your day on track. SF Porsche owners typically drop off, take BART to work, and pick up same evening.

Getting to Express Auto from San Francisco
The San Francisco neighborhoods closest to us are on the south side of the city: the Excelsior, Visitacion Valley, Bayview, Ingleside, Parkside and the area around Stonestown and SF State.
San Francisco Porsches often live in garages and come out for weekend drives, so fluids and 996/997 IMS bearings age before the miles add up. We check IMS risk and PDK service history with PIWIS 4 on every visit.
City shop rates follow City rents. San Francisco drivers who head south on 101 or 280 get dealer-quality work at independent rates, and BART runs from Balboa Park and Glen Park to San Bruno.
From central San Francisco: about 12 miles, about 19 minutes without traffic via Highway 101 and San Mateo Avenue.
