Am 76 Auto Service

Always cheaper, nice people very helpful they have 2 for $ 3 monster that’s a steal comparing with downtown 1 for $ 3 I loved it.

the food mart i entered faced BewMO. thought address is on stanyan. if this isn’t the right way on Stanyan & Geary, my bad.
hardly anything is priced in here: chips, soda, juices, etc.
buys: nestle crunch ice cream (priced 1.39) scanned price = 1.99
–yeh, got a refund.
take outs:
–not sure what’s up here, check what u are charged.

Smallish station with a psychotic exit/​entry driveway portal off east-​bound Geary due to a MUNI bus stop in front, which always seems to be ever-​present. Stanyan is the better option.

This is an urgent message to steer clear of this service/​gas station.
My cell phone was ripped out of my hands and held by the owner of this establishment. I had stopped in to get a quick ice cream and hadn’t even entered the store when one of the owners asked me «why are you fiming us?» I laughed at him and said «I’m not filming anything!»
The owner of the store then grabbed my cell phone out of my hand and ran in his store and started yelling at me «I know you’re filming us, I have you on our surveillance cameras, I’m calling the cops.» He then called the cops and claimed I was filming his store. Seriously — I wasn’t even in his store!
The cops told him to give me my phone back and he finally did. I then left and drove directly to the Richmond Police Department and filed a police report on this individual. As it turns out there was no record of him calling the police on me.
I think it’s important to ask why someone would be so paranoid that they are being filmed? What is going on that they don’t want captured?
Anyone thinking of continuing to purchase gas here should be very careful.

First attempt: gas pump didn’t work at all.
Second attempt at the next pump: lever was broken so I had to hold the pump and stand there the entire time.
I realize there are bigger and more important problems in the world… but considering this place is right between a perfectly fine Chevron & Shell, never coming here again.

I had a nail in my tire. I went to a few other places and they said it would take 3 – 5 hours and I would need to leave my car. This 76 station fixed my tire in about twenty minutes and they were really friendly. I recommend them!

If the cashier at the cash station asks, «What’s the odo — meter?»
1. Turn around and exit.
2. Get in your car.
3. Crack your whip like a dominatrix.

I’ve been bringing my car, girfriends cars, and friends here for minor and major repairs for 8 yrs. Their prices are very reasonable and I know they have never taken advantage of me. Nice guys, treat them right!

I have no experience with the repair center so cannot speak for it, but if you have a nail in a flat tire I highly highly recommend this 76 station.
My first experience was with my fiancée’s car, there was a slow leak and I went to their air station to fill it up. Sam (the super friendly attendant that seems to always be there) came out and pointed out a nail that I had failed to notice. 15 minutes and $ 25 later the problem I didn’t know we had was fixed, like boom!
Now last weekend a girlfriend of mine, as in friend :), discovered a flat on her car on top of the flat spare tire she had been hauling around and meaning to fix. It’s Sunday morning and I take one of the flats to Sam. He’s in his Sunday best for church or something and the repair shop is closed but sends me to the 76 station on California and 25^th just 5 minutes away and says to say «Sam sent me». Long story long, the super nice kid at this station fixes the flat, I’m able to change the tire, bring the other flat spare tire and fix that (cause come one, you have to have a good spare), one hour and $ 50 later, boom! Problem fixed, I’m a manly hero.
Flat tire, nail in it or something? Bring it to Sam, and tell them James sent you. :)

I went to this gas station to have my oil changed. When I came to pick up my car, the mechanic said that my timing belt was leaking oil and needed to be changed. He showed me the shine of grease on my timing belt. I told him I’d think about it.
I got nervous thinking my car might die if the timing belt broke completely, so I took it back to him. He lifted the car up in front of me, but the same area he pointed out before didn’t look the least bit shiny this time (Did he apply grease to it the first time or what?) Although I didn’t see the same thing, I agreed to let him change the timing belt. I mean, what do I know, right?
The car drove HORRIBLY after that. And my car drove like a dream before he put his hands on it.
I drove it around for a week before I got fed up and took it back to him to have him fix whatever it was he broke. And you know what he said to me?
HIM: «You need a new timing belt.»
ME: «What??? You just changed it one week ago!»
HIM: «What? I did?» Snicker, snicker.
Could it be any more obvious that he took me for a fool the first time around? Either he’s got some scam he’s working on timing belts or he put an even older and suckier timing belt in my car than the one I had to start out with!
Needless to say, I have not been back to him since and am still cursing him whenever my car shakes or sputters. My poor baby! It drove so nice for me before.

I brought my 97 pontiac sunfire here at 7 am, as my tire went flat, and aung the guy actually helped me at 7 am, but his shop hours were 7 30 am so he was nice from the start. He changed my tire, replaced something that was broken where you put air in, and also gave me a used spare tire that was in good shape, all for 35 dollars!!! i was like o m g wow. Second time i went to aung, my left turn signal and breaks stopped working and he figured out that he just needed to replace the light in just 2 minutes, he actually diagnosed that for free. He told me to come back tommorow and that he would fix it, really nice honest man who definately knows what hes doing!

Normally, I don’t review such petty things as a gas station, but I made an exception for this one following my harrowing experience last night. My roommate’s car was sputtering along, nearly out of his precious «premium» gas, so we decided to pull into the 76 station, seeing as it was considerably cheaper than the others around the area. As he was pumping the gas, my roommate guilted me into ‘offering’ to clean the winshields. The first cleaning station was out of paper towels, so I walked to the other one. As I reached to grab some towels… ahhhh! Something moved in the bin! EWWWWWWWWWW! It was a rat! Not some cute, little furry ratatatouille, but a GINORMOUS (at least seven inches long), brown, disgustingly hairy RAT! ick… I was beyond repulsed. Though my roommate got a kick out of seeing me scream bloody murder, and even though it’s not really the gas station’s fault for having the rat there, I was grossed out regardless. I think I’ll stay away from this 76 in the near future…

THUD… THUD…THUD.THUD.THUD.
Recently had the misfortune of hearing this dreaded noise when we were rushing to get somewhere. Even though it royally sucked changing a flat in the streets of SF, the 76 Station on the corner of Geary & Stanyan at least made the tire repair portion of the experience quick & easy. Really friendly staff. Tire with 2 screws in the tread was carestakingly patched for $ 25.
In 20 minutes flat (no pun intended), we were back on the road THUD-​free.
