Serving San Francisco's Ingleside and Ocean Avenue neighborhoods since 1960, Faxon Garage is a family-owned and operated automotive repair shop located at 545 Faxon Avenue. Led by owner and president Walee Gon, who took the helm in 2005 after more than a decade in the automotive performance and accessories industry, the shop has earned recognition on the San Francisco Legacy Business Registry and holds Diamond Certified status for 15 consecutive years. Situated just off Ocean Avenue, the garage provides neighborhood drivers and commuters across the southern corridor of San Francisco with a trusted local alternative to dealership service departments.

Equipped with modern diagnostic technology and staffed by ASE-certified technicians, Faxon Garage services a wide range of domestic, Asian, and European vehicles. Their comprehensive capabilities span routine factory-scheduled maintenance, oil changes, brake service, tire installation, and wheel alignments to complex engine diagnostics, timing belt replacements, suspension work, air conditioning repair, and smog checks. Every vehicle undergoes multi-stage quality control inspections before leaving the bay, and qualifying repairs are backed by a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty.

What sets Faxon Garage apart is its educational, no-pressure approach to car care. Rather than pushing unnecessary upsells, Walee Gon and his team break down complex mechanical issues into clear, practical options so vehicle owners can prioritize safety and budget with confidence. Convenience features such as online appointment requests, digital invoice viewing and web payments, and flexible repair financing through Synchrony, Snap Finance, and EasyPay make maintaining a vehicle in San Francisco straightforward and stress-free.
