What Our Customers Say About Us

I have used this shop for the past 11 years (two Volkswagens, and one Infiniti), and not only are they the best at what they do, they are among the most honest and reliable folk out there. Any person who has dealt with Giovanni will attest to the fact. The people who have been patronizing this shop have been coming back for decades, because of their reputation. To anyone out there looking for a place that would give them solid customer service, without any of the "upsell" you are used to seeing elsewhere, talk to Giovanni. And after you have had a chance to, make up your own mind.

Ali said he took his vehicle to 5 other places and they were rude and they did not have time to work on his vehicle. The mechanic at this facility was nice, friendly and also knowledgeable. They work on the vehicle until it was fixed. The facility was very nice and clean and he really appreciates them only charging him for an hour when they worked on it for an hour and a half.

Excellent Customer Service. I had a very great experience with ISM. Gelina has helped me from the start. The check engine light was on and found out that the code was related to the catalytic convertor. I emailed and asked for a quote and she was able to get back to me within a day or two. I called her back and setup an appointment a week or two in advance. I dropped off my car Thursday after work and even called a cab for me to get home. They worked on it all day the next day. She called me later in the afternoon to tell me it was ready. Picked it up after work and it was cleaned up and ready to go. Gelina made the whole process as less stressful as possible. Thank you Gelina and ISM.

I was looking for a competent, fast and cost effective alternative to the dealer service department and I found it at ISM. I went in to the dealer to have a burned out headlight replaced and was told it would be $700. I found ISM from a referral and received prompt, friendly service that cost a third of the dealer's estimate. I dropped the car off at ISM and was told it would take about an hour and in 45 min. I had my car back. Reliable service and fair pricing was all I was looking for and I think I found it at ISM.

Thoughtful, professional, fairly priced. Solid shop.

The only reason I am holding back on the 5th star here is that I felt 3 days was a little long for my car to be the shop, especially when I had booked it an appointment a few weeks in advance. Other than that, in regards to customer service, Gelina is pure gold to that shop especially to the women of the world in need of car servicing. She impressed me at another time when I cold called the shop about something else, and I vowed if I ended up with a Mercedes, they would be the ones to get my business based on her return phone call. (They were too busy at the time and must be good since they just stay very, very busy there. Making a timely appointment to take care of your car issues is crucial at ISM.) They do have a deal with Enterprise who is just around the corner, so it's not so painful to leave your car there for the duration. I think the repair pricing seemed very fair and they did spend time trying to make sure they had the right fix. I am getting used to having a newer Mercedes so I don't have a lot to compare with at this point, but I will probably return for other servicing needs and just hope that the turnaround is a bit quicker.

Kudos to Giovanni and Guilina for delivering first class service. I have taken my Jaguar X-type to ISM several times over the past and I have always been 100% satisfied with their competencey, courtesy and professionalism. I would recommend ISM to anyone who appreciates great service and attention to detail.

Absolutely fantastic service!!! My husband and I had used the services of International Sport Motors Company a few times last year. Our two BMW X5s desperately needed complicated repairs and we found our solution when turned the cars into the knowledgeable hands of the International Sport Motors Company. From the very beginning we understood that this business is the organization we needed, with it's friendly approach, detailed oriented analysis, quality work and impeccable honesty. We are more then happy to get to know Gelina and Giovanni and hope to use their help again if needed. Highly recommend this business to anyone. Yelena Z. and Boris I. San Francisco.

Quick work. This was a minor matter, but they did it very quickly and the car was ready in a couple of hours. They also did a full smog check, unscheduled, since the DAV's demand had just come in.

They squeezed me in on short notice for what I thought should be a very basic check to see why my steering wheel had come loose. Guilina quoted me a price to check it out and tighten the main bolt holding the steering wheel on and had the car checked and done before they promised and at the price they quoted. Very trust worthy and transparent in what they were going to check out and what it would cost. Clear communication. Would definitely go there again.
