Electric car repair in San Francisco. At Earthling Automotive, we are passionate about electric and hybrid vehicles, and the people who drive them. Our operations were designed specifically to service EV and hybrid vehicles quickly, conveniently, and at a fair price.
The Earthling Automotive team, in the bays on Bayshore Boulevard.
Meet the teamThe things people mention most in their reviews of Earthling, and why we do them. From the first call to the moment you pick up your keys, nothing about it is a surprise.
Earthling built the lobby for people who'd rather stay than take a Lyft home. Good espresso, fast wifi, a lot of plants, and a window onto the bays so you can watch your own car.
You get photos and an itemized estimate before we touch anything. If a repair isn't worth it on a car of that age and mileage, we'll say so and send you home.
Book online, get text updates during the day, approve the estimate from your phone. Every inspection, photo and invoice stays in your online record so you can find it later.
Over 95% of the cars in Earthling's bays plug in. The shop has been on hybrids and EVs since 2007, with the tools, training and high-voltage certification for the work the dealer would make you wait weeks for.
We keep a record of every repair order. So instead of telling you we know these cars, here is what the records say, counted from our own Shop-Ware system.
