Kind, fair, knowledgeable. Israel does amazing work on old Mercedes (and any car from my knowledge.) He gives you great advice on where to spend money and where to avoid.

I’ve brought my Mercedes in for oil changes, steering issues, window and electrical issues. Guy is a total pro.

Been bringing it to Israel for years and will continue to do so.

Very dishonest!! Fuel pump was under the seat it took them less then 2 hours to do @ 85 and hour it should have been 170$ labor. There are two ways of doing my fuel pump so what sal did was do it the easy way but lie to my face & tell me it took him 6 hours to do. So I paid 1200$ for a 500$ job. Complete crook. So if you want to be lied to & overcharged Go to sals. However there mechanic was a very cool dude. He's the reason I found out. Great guy.

$100 flat fee for an oil change on a Saab 2004 9-3 Aero. I did a drop in oil change and they had stellar customer service. Edwin was my mechanic and he also included a tire rotation, safety inspection, and advice/discussion on further repairs on my vehicle.#womanowned #oilchange #tirerepair

This place used to be good, now it sucks big time because somehow honesty went a different direction…

My mechanic at the time wasn’t capable of fixing my issue even after hundreds of dollars.

I won’t even go to this shop for a brake job…

This place sounds more reasonable than competitors but in fact it turns out to be more expensive than competitors because they couldn’t deliver the promised result for me. It seemed as if it was fixed but the labor was so cheap, it ended up costing me more in follow up repairs cause by the poor labor here…

Poor labor, unethical business practices.

I bought a Benz 300TE with 363,000 miles last weekend, and for the whole week prior I was researching and debating on where to take it to get serviced and establish my relationship with my mechanic. I chose Sal's out of about a dozen, even though I live in SF and the shop is out of the way for me. They're a family owned and run business. They're specialists in older Benz's with years and years of relevant experience. I felt confident going there before stepping foot inside, and when I did step inside I felt welcomed and at home. Israel is a great, friendly, knowledgable mechanic that knew the car inside and out. Within two days, he had a laundry list of things done to my new ride and kept me within budget. He even gives a bottle of wine to those who have over $1k of work done, which I used last night to celebrate my newly reliable wagon. I'll be using Isreal for all of my future work and recommend that you do too. Thanks Israel for getting this thing out on the road again!

I’ve been searching for an honest mechanic in San Francisco. After getting work done at Sal’s, that search continues.

Note: They moved some years ago. The new address is 1398 Folsom St. (downtown).
It is the best place to get your Mercedes repaired.

Honest mechanics! They really know their stuff, and are the place to go in SF for any work on vintage Mercedes!
