    The correct fitting from Miles at Acme Garage.

    My dad & I searched everywhere for the fitting from my carburetor to my fuel line on my 1964.5 Mustang convertible. Miles at Acme Garage took a look at my carb and voila.....he fixed my problem in record time. A huge thanks to Miles for helping me and saving the day!

    I have a newly purchased 64 Lincoln Continental and was looking for a local automotive shop that dealt with and had experience with Classic Cars. As with 95% of all my searches, I jumped on Yelp and this gem, ACME Garage, popped into my feed. I was pretty happy with the reviews I read and decided this place would be the best fit for what I needed (oil change, engine analysis, general assessment). When I called, a guy named Joe answered and was very receptive. We scheduled the appointment and he recommended if I had a few hours to spare, to be present while the assessment was happening with my car, which I though was peculiar, because no auto shop had ever asked that of me before. I said "Absolutely!!"and showed up during my scheduled appointment. Fast forward a couple weeks for my appointment and I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Miles...the owner and mechanic who would be working on my Lincoln. I really never had an experience like this before. We put my car on a lift and we literally did a thorough walk around of the entire cars condition. We talked about the history of the Continental, it's quirks, and performed a thorough inspection of not only the engine, but also the brakes, rear diff, suspension, control arms, ball joints, etc. So we changed the oil, greased the joints, checked all the fluids, inspected the brake drums, control arms, rear differential, and discussed potential/recommended upgrades, and future upkeep. I have never been to an automotive shop where the customer is actually included in the initial inspection of the vehicle. I'm sure Miles could have performed what I asked for in about an hour...but for Miles to take the time out of his busy schedule to give me a thorough valuation really built the trust and rapport that has been missing in other automotive shops. It was truly an awesome experience! Thx again, can't wait to upgrade the gauges and shocks, see u soon!

    There is no better auto repair. Miles is a master mechanic. But he won't work on just any car. So good luck. Lol

    How much does an oil change cost?

    We work on a wide array of vehicles. Generally for a full synthetic oil service, with premium filter and an inspection the cost will be between $80.00 and $200.00. It depends on the type of vehicle, oil capacity, etcetera. I often see oil change… Read more

    I cannot say enough good things about this repair shop and, especially, Francisco…read more My vehicle was originally stuck at the dealership service center with an open invoice that had to be paid before they would release it. When Francisco reviewed the invoice, he immediately spotted erroneous charges and argued on my behalf to have them corrected - without me even asking. I showed his email to several friends, and even they were shocked by how thorough and professional he was in pushing back. That alone earned my trust. Francisco personally picked up my vehicle, coordinated everything seamlessly, and had an entirely new engine installed within a week - which is incredible considering the scope of the work. To make matters even better, he later removed a charge from my estimate because the actual cost to him was less. Who does that? That level of honesty is rare. From start to finish, this shop demonstrated integrity, efficiency, and genuine customer advocacy. I never felt taken advantage of, rushed, or kept in the dark. Francisco treated my car - and my money - as if they were his own. If you're looking for a shop that is skilled, ethical, fast, and truly stands up for their customers, this is it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, and I will absolutely return for future work.

We've been…read morecoming to Julio and his family for a few years now for our everyday cars and once to rebuild our family's classic car. He did a quick preliminary diagnosis and gave me a fair quote for the alternator parts and labor. A few hours later, instead of just doing the expensive repair, he called me and explained that the alternator was actually fine -- the real problem was a wire that was shorting out and causing the symptoms. The repair ended up costing significantly less than expected because they were honest enough to fix the actual issue instead of replacing parts I didn't need. I also had them change the fluids and filters while it was there. He said it looked like my spark plugs needed changing as well. Everything was completed quickly and professionally. It's hard to find shops that are this honest and transparent these days. Highly recommend Total Care Transmissions for their integrity, communication, and quality work.

    Posting on behalf of my partner:…read more "I am in the midst of a cross-country road trip in a very old Subaru (230k miles), which had its check engine light come on as I approached the San Diego area. I found Sawaya Automotive online and brought the car in. I could immediately tell that I had made a good choice. The owner Tony greeted me in the parking lot and was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the process. I would say my impression is that he is the most honest auto mechanic I have encountered anywhere around the US. It turned out that I had a very serious engine issue and that it was better to sell the car than get it fixed. Tony was so kind in explaining this to me in detail, and he never tried to convince me to pay for repairs that didn't make financial sense. It was not the news that I was wanting to hear, but that's not the fault of Tony or anyone else at Sawaya Automotive. If I ever need auto maintenance work again in San Diego I will definitely come back here."

    I have exclusively been going to Tony for any of my car needs for the last 8 years…read more He and his team are by far the most knowledgeable mechanics, and have always provided great and reliable service. He is honest and will give you recommendations on how to keep your car in prime condition. Don't go to him if you're looking for cheap, low-quality service. If you want expert mechanic work and are looking to get the full lifespan of your car, he is your guy. Not only that, but Tony has connections all over San Diego for services other than mechanical work. He has helped me get my transmission replaced in an old Toyota Avalon, knows the best guy to get your engine steam-cleaned, and helped connect me with a center that does body-damage/painting after a collision. The reason I am just writing a review after going to him for 8 years is because I was blown-away with my last service experience with him a few days ago. I took my 2011 Toyota Camry in for it's 60,000 mile service, which he did along with replacing my rear struts (which were original). My car is now running better than it did when I bought it 2 years ago at 35,000 miles. Not only that, but he completed all the work in 1 day and didn't charge me for an additional $600 worth of work. He is truly an honest mechanic and I can't recommend him and his shop enough. I won't take my cars anywhere else.
