    BMW running like new. Brought in last minute for a quick tune up. Got my vehicle running smooth quick and lower rates than calling around. Made sure they used High quality oil and filter. Coming back on next check light.

    Amazing service and beautiful showroom cars

    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.

He actually talked me out of doing a couple things that I was asking about because everything looked good, which I appreciated a lot. Sometimes I feel like people are trying to constantly upsell me in these businesses, and that definitely wasn't the case here. He did identify a service I hadn't been thinking about, and my car has been running noticeably better since. Highly recommend this place.

    I live in San Diego because I prefer to walk more than I drive. But one of the reasons I hate…read moredriving beyond environmental impact is the predatory energy around car maintenance. Especially as a woman I just know they're more likely to take advantage. I got my last oil change here six months ago. I set a challenge for myself to try to only use one tank of gas in six months. So obviously, I have not driven very often. But Google, ChatGPT, and the few men in my life told me that I needed to go get an oil change since it had been 6 months. So I went back to oil changers. To my absolute delight they showed me oil that looked freshly changed. No need to change what's already good. They gave me all the tips I need to know for when I need to actually come back and what I can be doing to maintain my car in the meantime. It would have been so easy for them to just take my money and lie to me. It would have been just a normal errand I'd forget about in a few days. But now I will refer everybody to this location because I am so thrilled with that experience on top of already having a positive experience when I DID need an oil change last time. You don't really expect too much from these limited service shops. But the energy here is good. The people here seem to work well together and after today I will continue to come here as long as I live in San Diego.

    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.

    This is still my go to place for oil changes and minor repairs. My family and I have been coming…read morehere for probably over 10 years (man time flies). All of the years we have been coming here for oil changes or repairs, Oscar, Glenn, and Quay have worked here. For me, this means consistency and a place I trust to take care of my car. The oil change area is pit style (no hydraulic lift for oil changes). Glenn is usually in the pit and takes care of draining the oil and changing the filter. If you ever need to see the old oil filter, you can ask and they will show it to you. Oscar or Quay are usually up top checking fluids and replacing oil in the engine with new oil. The process is usually pretty quick. Once your vehicle is inside, above the pit, it usually takes about 10-15 minutes. They only up sell me something if they think I need it (for example cabin filter), it is never anything unnecessary or just for the sake of up selling. The waiting area is okay. It is a bit dated and could use some TLC, but you usually aren't waiting for a long period of time. If you were waiting on a repair, to kill time, Target and Costco (and their food court) are across the street. They always do a solid job for me and my family. We have never had any issues here. We will continue to come here. 5 / 5: Oil Changes and Repairs 4 / 5: Service 3.5 / 5: Cleanliness 4 / 5: Overall
