Episode description

The Ferrari Doctor, the Mayor of Potrero, the proud owner of Waterfront Automobili— Sal Garcia is a living landmark of San Francisco’s rich local communities. His story is one of immigration— from El Salvador to SF’s sunny Mission District, Garcia spent his formative years learning to master the English language and connecting with locals in his neighborhood. He graduated with Mission High with honors, and later USF with degrees in Business and Military Science. After a successful career as Lieutenant Colonel in the Medical Service Corp of the US Army, his love of Ferrari automobiles and all things mechanical inspired him to own and operate his own repair and restoration facility, Waterfront Automobili. Garcia’s success there has earned him the nickname “the Ferrari Doctor,” both in the Bay Area and beyond. Since childhood, Garcia has had a passion for being a community man. Through his work at Waterfront Automobili and his involvement with SF communities like the SFPD, SFFD, legal specialists, builders, friends and family, Garcia has helped make San Francisco feel like a home to all. In fact, his presence in the city is so strong, his success over the years has grown purely from word of mouth! The friends and organizations that Garcia has grown up with all share a mutual respect for what they each give to their beautiful city of San Francisco. We therefore felt it fitting to include him in our community here at BTFR. Meet Sal Garcia!
