⚡️ Staying Ahead of the Curve (So You Don't Have To)
​We had a great day at the shop yesterday getting under the hood—and into the software—of a Tesla. While the technology in electric vehicles is evolving fast, our commitment to your safety stays exactly the same.
​To keep your car safe on the road, we don't just "wing it." We believe in:
​Constant Practice: Regularly engaging in online testing and diagnostic simulations to master new EV systems.
​Technician Collaboration: Staying in constant communication with a network of expert techs to share insights and stay sharp.
​Future-Proofing: Investing the time today so that whether you drive a classic gas engine or the latest electric model, you’re always in expert hands.
​The "curve" of automotive tech moves fast, but we’re dedicated to staying one step ahead of it for you!​

Featured customer Dan Hess– A Local Legend

At 87, Dan has lived a life packed with grit, good stories, and more determination than most of us can muster before our morning coffee. From running his family’s dairy nearby and hauling milk across the bay to hauling those smelly shrimp shells (we all know the smell!) through town, he’s been proving for decades that hard work is just part of his DNA.

He’s been with Graf's Automotive throughout the generations of our company—steady, loyal, and always ready with a story with a smile. Dan isn’t just part of our history; he’s part of who we are. He's family. ❤️

So here’s to Dan: our North Star, our neighbor, our friend, and the guy who reminds us that being a legend doesn’t require fame—just heart, humor, and a lifetime of showing up. It's been a privilege and a pleasure to keep him on the road for so many years.

Brrr, it was chilly this morning! Here's a friendly reminder from your Graf family: when you let your car warm up, hit that recirculation button! It helps your inside cabin temperature warm up much faster, so you can beat the cold and stay cozy! -Family

We are among the first to have finally pulled out of the Stone Age. Grafs Automotive now has easy, self‑serve online scheduling. No phone tag, no waiting for business hours—just a clean calendar you can tap anytime.

What this means for you

24/7 booking from your phone or computer, at your convenience.

Choose the day and time that fits your life

Instant confirmation without a call

Whether inspiration strikes at 2:00 AM on a Sunday or during a hectic lunch break, you’re only a few clicks away from getting your vehicle on the schedule.

We’d love your feedback

This is brand new for us, and I want it to feel smooth from start to finish. After you book online, please drop a quick review or note telling us what worked and what didn’t. Love it? Hate it? Meh? We're listening so we can keep improving.

Thanks for rolling with us as we trade our hand‑crank calendar for real‑deal tech. We’re excited to make car care easier for you.

What a morning it has been, we look out the window and see a 2014 Porsche Cayenne stopped at our entrance. We head out there to find that he ran over a pry bar by landwehrs and punctured his gas take. We got all hands on deck and cleaned the spill in no time.
Its a unfortunate accident but we grew a new family member. We will be getting this coast guard helicopter mechanic back on the road in no time.
