She was incredibly communicative and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I went in for an oil change, which cost around $60 for 5 quarts of synthetic oil. Additionally, I had a tire balance and rotation done, bringing my total to about $135. Maria's transparency and thoroughness were truly impressive. She informed me about everything without any pressure to purchase services I didn't need. Impressed by their service, I've already scheduled another appointment for my 135,000-mile checkup, which includes brake fluid replacement and fixing a cracked belt. Maria's kindness and extensive knowledge made me feel confident in their care. I'm thrilled that La Mesa Car Service is just down the street from my house. I wholeheartedly recommend them to all my friends, family, and clients. If you're looking for top-notch car care with a personal touch, this is the place to go! UPDATE: 7/1/25 I've brought my 2012 Infiniti here a couple times now, and every experience has been amazing. Most recently, I had a check engine light come on right before I was about to sell the car. They took me in immediately, diagnosed and resolved the issue quickly, and even printed a full report so I could show the buyer everything was taken care of--no stress, no hassle. This shop is incredibly trustworthy. Maria and her husband are the best--super honest, helpful, and efficient. I just bought a new 2025 Porsche Cayenne and without a doubt, I'll be bringing her here for service too. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for honest, reliable car care in La Mesa!

Yes, this was an expensive repair but it was absolutely no fault of Allman Family Auto. The issue…read morestems from Chrysler's Pentastar cylinder heads, which are a known problem. I always do my research, and unfortunately my assessment turned out to be correct even before Allman completed their diagnostics. Mike at Allman spent a great deal of time walking me through different scenarios and options, providing detailed estimates for each. I also requested additional estimates, including a full engine replacement, so I could make a fully informed decision. While their estimate was less than dealership service departments, it was slightly higher than another independent shop. After researching the difference, I found it came down to Allman using OEM parts rather than cheaper aftermarket parts made overseas. I don't use cheap parts on my vehicles, so that made the decision easy. Once I felt fully comfortable, I chose Allman and I'm glad I did. Mike kept me informed throughout the process, and my Jeep was back on the road even earlier than estimated. Thank you, Allman Family Auto, for the honesty, transparency, and quality work.

I dropped the car off at 8:30 a.m. and was told by 2:00 p.m. that the issue was diagnosed as a clock spring and repaired. Upon picking up the vehicle, the squeaking noise was immediately present. I returned to the shop, where the technician sprayed WD-40 into the steering wheel area. The noise subsided for approximately one week and then returned. I contacted the shop again and was instructed to bring the vehicle back. During this visit, I also requested an oil change and tire rotation. I was then informed that my vehicle had an oil leak and that the upper control arms needed to be replaced, which they claimed was the cause of the steering noise. After picking up my vehicle a week later, the squeaking noise was still present. I documented this on video and immediately notified the shop via phone and email. Due to it being Christmas week, I brought the vehicle back the following Monday. Before I was able to do so, while backing out of my garage, I heard severe metal-on-metal grinding, as if the vehicle were coming apart. This noise had never occurred prior to this shop working on my vehicle. I immediately contacted them and was told that other components may need replacement and that they were not responsible. Additionally, after their tire rotation, my custom Range Rover valve stem caps were removed and replaced with mismatched, rusty caps (one was missing entirely). The wheel lock key was left loose in the trunk, and the spare tire cover was not reinstalled. Given the severity of the situation, I filed a formal complaint with my warranty company. They ultimately approved a diagnostic inspection at the Range Rover dealership. The findings were extremely concerning. The dealership documented negligent workmanship by Supreme Auto, including: Bolts not properly tightened Missing fasteners Components left loose As a result, the brake dust shield was dangling and a bolt was rubbing against the rotor, damaging the brake pad and sensors and creating a serious safety hazard. The dealership further confirmed that the original steering wheel noise was caused by a foam component on the steering shaft that required lubrication -- not a clock spring, which Supreme Auto billed and was paid for. To restore my vehicle to a safe operating condition, I am now responsible for $2,967 out of pocket. I provided Supreme Auto with dealership videos, documentation, and reports. Despite this evidence, they offered only $463 to "tighten bolts," while claiming they did not perform brake work. While that is true, the issue was not brake service -- it was improper reassembly and failure to secure critical components affecting steering and braking systems. For the record, my brakes were inspected in August, and this vehicle is not driven daily. Thankfully, my warranty company has since removed Supreme Auto from their approved network. I hope this review prevents others from experiencing a similar situation. All I requested was that they take responsibility and pay the dealership directly to correct the unsafe conditions created by their workmanship. They may deny responsibility, but the evidence -- dealership video, written report, and another independent mechanic review -- clearly documents the cause. This is not acceptable or ethical business practice
