I take my 2007 Honda Civic in regularly and they do good work checking out my car with an oil change. They tell me the work that it needs and how urgent or not urgent it is. I feel like I don't pay for unnecessary repairs. read more

C&D Auto Care IS THE BEST CAR SHOP IN TOWN!!! I have taken my H2 there for 8 years and wouldn't think of taking it anywhere else. Dara and his son, Bobby, will treat you like family. You can trust him all day! If he can't fix your car, he knows who can and they will treat you will the same respect. I can't say enough wonderful things about these two gentelmen. read more

Dara has great knowledge about cars. He is a great mechanic and I highly recommend C&D auto care to my friends and family. Great customer service!! read more

C&D is awesome! My door wouldn't lock anymore and they took such good care of me. Very reasonable pricing, excellent service, and they have great online features that allow you to keep track of upcoming maintenance. I won't go anywhere else! read more

Highly recommended. They are always taking great care of me and going above and beyond expectations. These guys have no idea how much easier they've made my life from smog to oil changes to transmissions to advice, they're always willing to help with no hassle or haggle! They practically tell you when you need service, what you need, and set up the appointments for you regularly. I LOVE THAT! Trustworthy, Friendly, and Committed! Three simple aspects most companies lack today, so thank you C and D! I'm sure I will be back soon! read more

In addition to the fact that there was a complete lack of cordiality and customer service (it appeared to be a chore to go through the process of taking my hundreds of hard earned dollars), at my scheduled appointment for a tune-up, the apathetic man behind the counter proceeded to tell me that tune-ups don't exist anymore and that I needed to tell him what I wanted done to my car. Wtf? I may be woman but I'm not an idiot. Needless to say, I took my keys back, got the f out of there and promptly made an appointment with a friendly and helpful local competitor for a tune-up that does exist. read more

When I moved here 2010, I was lucky enough to have a neighbor recommend C & D Auto Care. I was very impressed that they told me what was wrong with my car, what was absolutely necessary, and what could wait. They go out of their way to serve their customers. These guys are honest and do great work. They stand behind their work. On one occasion I had the a problem with my old car, they immediately fixed it, reminded me they had fixed it before, and charged nothing for the repair. I don't have to keep my receipts and records to prove that I had such and such done. They have the records, know what was done, and if it is still under warranty. These are the go-to auto repair guys for our family. On the people side of things, they support their community and genuinely care about people. I love these guys! read more

I brought a truck I was thinking of buying for a pre-purchase inspection and the guys did a very thorough job of it! Checked every nook and cranny, noticed things that I would never have been able to know without their inspection. Although the truck was in really great shape and only have minor issues, they did give me some bargaining chips when making the purchase - thanks guys! Got me a really nice used truck! Worth every penny to have it checked out by competent people, and a AAA discount!! I will be bringing my truck back here for service from now on! read more

These guys are amazing!!!! Dara and his team went out of their way to make sure I was happy and satisfied their service. I had an older car that was giving me a hard time. They explained the problem so simply I knew exactly what they were telling me. Amazing service!!! Highly recommended!!! Female friendly shop!!! read more

Love C&D Auto Care! They have done great work for me on all my vehicles, at fair prices and great service. And they're really nice to my dog!! read more

As always, service was quick and awesome! Free shuttle service is a plus. A detailed summary of work performed is always provided. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. read more

This place is run by a bunch of theives! They charged me over $800 to fix my air conditioner and I later found out all they did was replace a fan. More recently they charged me $50 for a diagnostic check when my car over heated. They told me I had blown a head gasket, hoses and valves were cracked and leaking, I needed a new timing belt (which they were supposed to have replaced when they did the ac), I needed a new water pump, and an exhaust manifold. This all totalling over $3000!!! I could not afford this and knew from my experience with other cars that there was no way I had blown a head gasket. I had my car towed somewhere else. The other place not only did the dignostic for free, but the only thing causing the car to over heat was a leak in a hose. That hose along with a couple others were replaced for $200. I went back to C & D, demanded my money back and have filed many complaints... I would NEVER take my car there again!!! I am a young woman who they thought knew nothing about cars and they could get a lot of money from... Think again! read more

This is an auto repair company that you can trust. They know what they are doing. They are very friendly and honest. They will not take advantage of customers like so many other mechanics. They have very reasonable prices as well. You will be completely satisfied with Dara and Bobby. read more

My experience was a few years ago.......I had been going to C & D auto for years and had been taking both of my vehicles there for repairs . It's very close to home and was happy with the work. I took my dodge SUV in for a minor repair and was told by the mechanic that my master cylinder was leaking and needed replace .The car was about 6 years old but only had about 45,000 as it was my weekend vehicle . I thought this was strange to need replacing and the car wasn't that old. The cost was $900 . I normally would have Dara just do the work because I trusted him but thought I would get a 2nd opinion this time as it didn't feel right. I took my car down the street to another repair shop where I had been a couple of times before and asked them to look look at the brakes without mention of the master cylinder at all. They told me that although my brakes are close to needing to being replaced that had another 5,000 miles . When I asked about the master cylinder they said it was fine. I never replaced the master cylinder .I have never been back and will never go back. You all can form your own opinion from this review but my opinion is that I was being taken......understand what your paying for and get a 2nd opinion. read more

Dara will treat you like a family member! He is honest and the service is excellent. I have trusted my car problems to him for about 3 years now and always feel that I have gotten excellent service. read more

This review is about 2 years overdue. With that being said, the service was great and the owner was very friendly. My oil change was taken care of in less time than it took me to get a mani/pedi next door which was great. Overall I had a great experience. read more

I have been going to C&D for many years, and am overdue for a visit. Dara the owner is a terrific person, great sense of humor and honest, honest, honest. I always feel I'm in good hands here. read more

My car had stalled in a very frightening way on the freeway late at night driving back to San Diego from Redlands. We had to tow it home. We thought it was a transmission issue and when we took it to a transmission mechanic. (Summit-Jerry was great, too.) He thought it may be a problem outside of that. He told us he would take it to a guy he has used for a long time period. That guy was Dara at C and D Auto Care. He was right. It was a fuel pump issue. Dara and Bobby were awesome. They answered all my questions(I had many...), gave us great suggestions on what to do next, and we walked away with a very reasonable deal, a fixed automobile, and excellent customer service. We will use them again!!! read more

Went to C & D on a suggestion from another mechanic and I'm happy I did. The detail of their work and the OUTSTANDING service was top notch. I highly recommend them if you want honest service and good work. read more

There is no better place in San Diego to get your vehicle repaired than at C & D Auto! The owner Dara is the most HONEST owner I have EVER ran into! When you walk into the office, you are greeted by Bobby, very friendly and knowledgeable! It starts at the front door and continues throughout the shop! I am so grateful for knowing I can trust a shop to get the wonderful service that they provide to the public! No 1 shop in my book! read more

Took my car in for an alignment and oil change today and I have to say I really like this shop. They seem like a good old fashioned business that cares about their customer. With all the dishonest mechanics out there it is nice to find an honest shop where you feel like they are going to take care of you. read more

These guys tried to charge me an outrageous amount for spark plugs. Won't be going back.

I have been getting my cars repaired here for a number of years and I feel guilty for not writing a review before now. But this last visit could not be ignored. I brought my car in for a repair and Dara followed all the specs by the manufacturer and still had same the problem. He personally worked on my car himself and kept working on it with his years of experience until he found a work around to fix it. I am in my 60's and been to a lot of auto repair shops but C&D is the most honest and fair rates that you will ever find. They make sure you leave satisfied. read more

I've been taking my cars here for years and they are always great! They are so friendly and have amazing customer service. They are fair and honest and take good care of my car, regardless of how big or small the job is. I recommend them 100%! read more

This place is so great! They went above and beyond for me ;) I had a million questions and they answered them all! They are legit...they know their stuff! Check them out!!! read more

I LOVE Dara, Bobby, and the rest of the staff at C &D. I've been going there with my cars for over 10 years. I am always satisfied with the work I've had done, both major and minor. They treat everyone like family and are great about telling you what you need to have done now, and what can wait until sometime in the future. They don't treat you differently based upon your gender and I've never left there wondering if I was ripped off. I suggest this shop to all of my friends and everyone has been very pleased. read more

Dara and company at C&D Auto are great. I have been bringing my car there for almost the entire six years I have lived in San Diego. It seems that my '99 Accord needs something replaced at least once a year. They have always been honest and helpful. When I needed new tires, Dara suggested that I go to a shop that specializes in tires because I will almost certainly get a lower price. How is that for honest? I recommend them to anyone in need of car repair. read more

BEST PLACE EVERRRRRR! absolutely! Dara is the man, he gives you honest explanation on what exactly is wrong with your car.He would never lie to get more money from you.If you take your car there once, you'll bring any other car that has any problem & you will recommend this place to others. I promise. It's a family business for them so they know exactly what they're doing.Beside the actual service on the car, they gave us an extra friendly service by driving us to a car rental place. Their prices are totally fair in comparison to other places. Today was the first time I took my car there, and I'm super satisfied. They've been introduced to me through a family member. read more

I had taken my vehicle to another repair place to have the brakes done. Had to take it back 4 times, kept paying more money to have more replaced and it still was not driving correctly. I took it to C and D, to get another opinion, and they stripped down my brakes, and called me to come down and see what they found. Even though my rear brakes were brand new, I had already worn one side down 25 percent. After a brake adjustment, it turns out I had been driving for weeks, with my brakes applied 100% of the time. My vehicle had no driving power because of that. C and D fixed my problem, and even though they spent a lot of time and labor discovering my problem, I was only charged for a brake adjustment. God Bless them. read more

Dara and Bobby have the knowledge and expertise to take exceptional care of their customers. I know from personal experience that Dara is one of the most experienced shop-owners in San Diego and uses top-quality, state of the art equipment to ensure their customers receive the best service in the industry. I would recommend C & D Auto Care to anyone, including my own family and friends. read more

I started going to C and D Auto care (Dara) when he was in the Miramar area almost 12 years ago. I have been going to him ever since. I now have my 2 daughters going to him for their cars. He is honest and reasonable. Can you ask for more than that in auto repair? read more

Wow!!!! I didn't know the words honest & mechanic went together, until I came to C & D auto care! I was referred to them through Mode Automotive in Kearny Mesa, since I had the state Smog CAP certificate and could not be happier! I am simply blown away by their excellent customer service. They are extremely accommodating, beyond fair and HONEST!!! They are very knowledgeable, professional and considerate of their customers. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

I have used these guys for my Jeep. Dependable and reasonable. Most of all, very high integrity. Recently took my Jeep in for a front end clunking sound. They thought it might be a worn part which would have been a $600 job. But they also said because of the symptoms, it should be looked at by a shop they recommended that specialized in frame and steering alignment before I should pay for the repairs. Their caution and honesty paid off. There was a completely different issue causing the clunk. Trust these guys. read more

My wife and I just relocated to the Las Mesa area and were in need of finding a good local repair shop (front end suspension issues and brake light coming on). We have a Suburu wagon and a Kia Sportage. I did some searching online and read really good things about C&D so decided to give them a try. Best decision I've ever made! These guys are great! C&D is a local family owned business with both Dara and his son, Bobby running the show. They quickly diagnosed my problem, assured me that nothing was wrong with the brakes, fixed the front end issue (replaced the control arm) and I was on my way. It's always hard to find a good dependable, honest repair shop that you can go to without feeling like you've been ripped off. Bobby took great care in explaining to me what the problem was with my car and what it would cost to fix it. He even printed out helpful diagrams of the part that needed replacement and even showed me the actual faulty part when it came off the car. I can't say enough good things about C&D. They've definitely got another loyal customer! read more
