Planet AutoWerks, San Francisco

Welcoming all manner of automobile, the ASE-certified technicians at Planet AutoWerks are especially adept at all things Saab and Subaru. The shop boasts factory-certified experts fluent in the mechanics of the Swedish- and Japanese-made roadsters, and can administer factory-recommended checkups or major repairs. When it comes to environmental stewardship, however, they set their sights on protecting the health of the entire planet, recycling everything from old metal components and waste oil to the cardboard boxes that make up the office fort.
