About Us

Vanguard Motors was founded in 1986 by Gary Grande here in San Francisco. He believed there was a need for an alternative to high priced, impersonal dealer service. Gary and his team stress a high quality, one-on-one level service for your Porsche, BMW, or MINI.

A business IS its people, and Vanguard Motors is proud to employ some of the most highly trained, caring and honest people to ever work on cars. Our experience and attention to detail is what sets us apart from other shops. The people of Vanguard Motors love what they do, and it shows.

Our technicians are active participants in continuing training and education. From hands-on Advanced Engine Management systems to Body Systems, we stay abreast of the latest technology as well as diagnostic and programming tools and procedures.
