The best and most honest mechanic in The Bay Area peninsula! My old 2001 Honda Civic was over heating. The first mechanic I took it to said it was a cracked radiator. So I got that replaced. But then my car was STILL overheating! Turns out it was a thermostat problem and hoses. So Joe fixed it no problem and did it in within a couple of hours. He is so honest while other mechanics will charge you and arm and a leg and not even fix the real problem!Thank you, Joe! I am a customer for life now!

I have taken my car to Joe at Metric Tech a few times now. Each time he tells me what needs to be done now and what can wait. His prices seem very fair (I have an '08 MBZ) and the work is completed as agreed; in a timely manner. Joe is very approachable and I really appreciate that in someone that works with me. I see myself as a good judge of character and it was clear to me very early on that he is absolutely trustworthy. I would say he is the type of person where a handshake agreement means something. You won't regret getting your car worked on at Metric Tech.

I've recently taken both of my kid's cars - a Mercedes C300 and BMW X1 - to Joseph at Metric Tech. I appreciated that he was able to diagnose the issues quickly, and then discuss the repair options with me so I could budget accordingly. He also uses a very nice online system to communicate via email and text with updates and for you to approve the repairs, which are detailed online. Two thumbs up for Joseph and Metric Tech!

Amazing job!!I took my 2017 Pacifica minivan to Metric Tech with some aftermarket brake parts (rotors, calipers, and pads) thinking that it would be a simple matter of just dropping them in (Powerstop said they were built to OE specs!). Turns out it was a much harder job than I thought and despite the difficulty, Joe did an absolutely amazing job adjusting what needed adjusting, spending more time than I deserved on it, and then refused to charge me for that extra time. An honest mechanic is hard to find in my experience, so you better believe I'll be back here for ALL of my automotive needs. Not only is Joe skilled as a mechanic, he's an amazingly nice person. Win-Win!Service: Brakes

I've always hated taking my car to auto shops because I don't know whether I can trust what the mechanic is telling me, but I finally found someone who is honest and that I can trust completely. Joe at Metric Tech is that guy. He's very knowledgeable, transparent, provides very fair pricing, and does high quality work. You can tell that Joe takes pride and pleasure in his work. I would highly recommend Joe for all of your BMW needs! You will be glad you did!

I can't say enough about Metric Tech. Joe is an honest, reliable and knowledgeable mechanic. He goes above and beyond. I use to only take my car to the BMW dealership, but have stopped doing so and even canceled my extended warranty. Why pay so much when you can get the same level of service from Metric Tech. Joe does everything the BMW dealership would and also returns your car completely spotless. Even though I live in San Francisco, I will happily drive my car to San Mateo to be serviced by Joe. I know he will do a wonderful job and will take good care of it. I have referred my parents and other friends to Joe and they have all had the same experience. Joe is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and not only will you be happy with the service at Metric Tech, but so will your friends, family.

I cannot praise Joe at Metric Tech enough! My car basically died on me while I was merging onto the freeway and there was nowhere to quickly pull over to safety. Everyone was honking at me and I had a full blown panic attack - super scary! Once I was able to get off the freeway I knew I would need to have my car towed, but the question was to where? I called a shop I had been to years before but it turned out they no longer had an onsite mechanic. Yelp to the rescue! I found Metric Tech and gave them a call. Joe answered the phone and I'm sure I was speaking erratically as I was still a bit frantic from what had happened, but he told me to come on by! Once I arrived, Joe greeted me with the most kind and calming presence. I was so tense from the situation and he really helped reassure me that everything would be fine. I felt bad because it was closing time, but I never once felt rushed. Joe even waited patiently as I called around to some local car rental places with no luck. I was prepared to walk home but Joe SO generously offered me a ride home. I'd also like to point out how impressed I was with all of the COVID safety precautions Joe has in place. His front desk area was clean to the max. There was hand sanitizer, wipes, and clean/dirty pen cups. He had steering wheel, seat and shift knob covers. He even disinfected my key and put it into a little tiny sealed bag! My car was fixed within a couple of days and I'm so happy to have it back and driving perfectly! I would recommend Joe and Metric Tech to anyone in a heartbeat! They are just the best!

Joe at Metric Tech is 100% my go to mechanic from now on! My car was making a crazy loud noise and my dealership had diagnosed it as a bad wheel bearing and wanted to charge me a small fortune to fix it. I immediately called Joe who quoted me at a significant amount less. Because of COVID I hadn't been driving my car at all, so I when I called him back about 2 months later I didn't expect him to remember me--but he did! I had my car in the shop the next day and a day after had it back, wheel bearing replaced, wheels aligned, and some extra TLC given to my car. Joe was so easy to work with, honest, and all around a great mechanic.

I was in need of a mechanic to look at my air conditioning system and it was recommended to me to go see Joe at Metric Tech. I could not be more satisfied with the service I received! My experience with Joe was great! Such a nice man and he went way above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience at his shop. He even washed my car after completing the service! Pricing is very reasonable and I will not go to anyone else to service my car in the future!

Joe is the best! Wonderful set up for his customers to relax or work. The shop itself is pleasant, but of course, the service provided is top notch. Joe is very honest and his quality of work is impressive. I highly recommend this place, especially for women who fear the typical hassles of a repair shop-- I've never experienced that here

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.

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!
