Luscious Garage in San Francisco

We predicted in our Jan 13 Beware Mechanics: Women Can Wield Tire Irons too ”DLAW prediction: We will soon see a vast increase in female mechanics and garages run by women for women.” Here is one such garage in San Francisco.

Meet Carolyn Coquillette, owner and lead technician of Luscious Garage—great name!—in San Francisco. Although they work on all cars they specialize in hybrids. And yes, men you are welcome too!

They have a perfect rating on Yelp and this is what Bonnie from Oakland had to say: “Kudos to this wonderful Hybrid specialist, woman owned garage. After buying a Ford Escape Hybrid and having a terrible experience at the dealership on my first visit, I found Luscious Garage because of an art exhibit they were hosting. Yes, this garage is clean enough and special enough to have rotating art exhibits. Their service is the best and I love that everything is paperless.” Female mechanics, a clean garage, and art exhibits—Great work Caroline!
