I brought my son to Future Automotive with his first car, and it turned into such a great experience for both of us. When your kid gets their first car, you really hope you find someone honest to help take care of it. Buddy was fantastic!! He took the time to explain what he was seeing with the car and walked my son through what needed attention and what didn't. There was no pressure or upselling- just straightforward advice and solid work, which we really appreciated. The pricing was fair and the turnaround was quick, which made the whole process easy. Most importantly, we left feeling like we could completely trust the work being done. My son even said on the way home that he feels like he now has a mechanic for life, and that says everything! I"d definitely recommend Future Automotive to anyone looking for a trustworthy place for themselves or their family. read more

Took my Jeep Wrangler to Future Auto for engine repair based on the good ratings on Yelp. Great customer service and honest from the initial phone call all the way through the repair work. Buddy was very professional and knowledgeable and easy to work with. He did not do or recommend any work that was not necessary. The prices are very fair. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Buddy and Jeff provided great service and have earned a customer. Both of them communicated clearly and their honesty was so reassuring.

Gosh.. it's nice to have these guys on my side Jeff & Buddy have teamed up to be a wonderful place to keep my car safely maintained. As I left today after an oil change & the 3 of us chatted It is wonderful that we all want the same thing... that my Honda CRV with 142,000 miles continues to run flawless & keep me safe. For 5 years they have proven that to me over & over. The greatest part is I'm grateful to support our locals in RB... you're the best! I hope not to see you for another 5,000 miles read more

Future Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

Took the car in for a brake job and oil change. He recommended some other things to keep track of, but was not pushy at all. In fact probably one if not the most friendly and personable mechanics I've dealt with. Would go back again for future car issues. read more

I've been going to Future Automotive for the last 5 years - first with my Kia, now my Subaru. Jeff and Buddy are professional and honest people. As a woman, it's hard to walk into mechanic or repair shops and feel comfortable. I can say with confidence I've never felt uncomfortable at Future Automotive! I trust that Jeff and Buddy will be and have been honest about the work that needs to be done on my car. I recently went in for a transmission drain and fill and Buddy called to let me know of a problem with my car I didn't anticipate and was very patient as I asked questions! Thank you so much! read more

Honesty and professionalism is difficult to find in most industries. Future Automotive provides both. We have had them work on 4 of our autos over the years and they are consistent and provide quality work. read more

I've brought my family's two cars here for service and dealing with Buddy has been a pleasure, he gives me detailed explanations for work to be done, as well as things to watch in the future, never upsells. Clean shop and detail oriented at fair prices, which I appreciate. Don't hesitate to trust your vehicles to Buddy's care. read more

We've been bringing our cars here for over 5 years. This time we trusted them with our 100k miles service package on our minivan and again, they did a great job in the time they quoted and the same price quoted. Buddy showed us the new parts to be used, and afterwards showed us the old parts that were replaced. Nice people, great service and much less expensive than the dealer. read more

Reliable, prompt, dependable and affordable. 5-star recommendation! I don't typically do these reviews, but these guys are more than deserving of praiseworthy posts. read more

I needed something close by, and this came up on Yelp. I've lived down the street for 5 years, and this was my first time at Future Automotive. The online appointment system was easy and straight-forward. Buddy was so kind to me, and listened to my concerns. Even though I needed my brakes checked, he also did my oil change, which saved me another trip. He explained everything clearly and didn't make me feel crazy for hearing and explaining the noises. Amazing car care and customer service, and I will return for future car chores. Thank you! read more

We had a flawless experience with Buddy. He was professional, helpful, honest, and went way out of his way for us. I rarely review anyone, but you cannot go wrong trusting Buddy. read more

I had a great experience here! My gravel shield under the car had come loose and was dragging on the ground while I was driving. Buddy was quick to help me out and got it removed in a timely manner. I really appreciated how professional, friendly, and efficient he was--it made what could have been a stressful situation super easy. I'll definitely be coming back here for future car needs. Thanks again, Buddy! read more

Top notch service, great staff, and competitive prices. My 11 year old car's A/C wasn't working and I called Future Automotive to see if they could get me in. I figured I'd have to wait at least a week. They offered to get me in as soon as the following day. They were transparent about the work that would be needed, got the job done the same day I dropped it off, and were the most pleasant mechanics I've ever dealt with. Will be coming back for all future automotive repairs and servicing. Thank you Jeff and Buddy! read more

Very nice and fair people. Got my car towed in and had it diagnosed along with some small work. Very communicative and honest.

Quick and friendly service. I didn't feel pressured to get anything and they've always handled all my family's cars with care.

Excellent service! The repair was completed promptly and the pricing was fair. I also appreciated their clear and concise estimate.

Future Automotive has been such a great auto repair service for me that I never hesitate to recommend them. From routine maintenance to complex repairs, they always know how to fix the problem. They're professional, honest, reasonably priced and I feel they aim for 100% satisfied because they really go the extra mile in their service. For example, I'm selling my 1986 classic BMW and the auction company wants photos of the entire undercarriage. They allowed me to put the car up on the hoist and take photos at no charge. The car now needs a critical part that's no longer made. I asked Buddy if he would look at a refurbished part on eBay before I spend hundreds of dollars and he said, sure, just send him the link. I sense one of their values is just helping people which is rare these days. Give them a call. read more

Buddy and his team are top notch. Honest, reliable vehicle evaluation and service builds customer loyalty and Future Automotive has my loyalty. I keep my vehicles for the long term so finding a quality shop that values customer loyalty and provides excellent repair and preventative maintenance services is vital for me. I appreciate the expertise, fair pricing and quality work over the years. read more

Buddy is amazing!! Buddy gave me the best customer service while my SUV was in his shop for a repair that was totally unexpected. Buddy kept me informed about the repair and the repair he had to do to get my SUV back on the road the next day at a very reasonable price!!!! Buddy, Jeff and Alicia all continue to treat me like family and I was very impressed with how AMAZING THEY HANDLED ME AND MY FAMILY! I also had my Tacoma repaired a bit ago and again I was back on the road with my Tacoma quickly. Also the price for my repairs were very reasonable and MUCH lower than the Toyota dealership!! I suggest EVERYONE to take your vehicles or vehicles to FUTURE AUTOMOTIVE!!! You will DEFINITELY BE HAPPY WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I GUARANTEE YOU WILL PASS ON YOUR EXPERIENCE THANK YOU FUTURE AUTOMOTIVE ONCE AGAIN!!! read more

Buddy and the team were super friendly and explained everything clearly. They took care of my car's oil change and let me know about a couple of things to keep an eye on, which I really appreciated. Will certainly be back. read more

Jeff is the owner and totally focused on looking for--and finding--any problems with our vehicles. Instead of just changing the oil, he or one of his mechanics inspect the engine compartment and transmission for any leaks, and the drive train for any signs of another failure condition or something that is about to fail. His conscientious approach helps ensure neither my wife or I get stuck on the road due to a breakdown, which is much more valuable than just paying for an oil change! read more

Old school customer service and quality work. They answer their phone and speak to you with kindness and respect and give you proper expectations. What more can you ask for? I was in a bind and they didn't over promise, didn't over charge and delivered in less than the expected time. i feel like I made ne friends today. read more

I appreciate Future Automotive! They are trustworthy and will tell you if you really need something for your car. Buddy is great to work with. He explains things in laymen terms and it helps a lot. We have been going there for the past 7+ years and won't go anywhere else. read more

Future Automotive is seriously THE BEST. You will always get an honest quote with no extra things that don't need to be done. The owner Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable and a man of integrity. Very difficult to find in an auto repair shop. Buddy will help explain exactly what they need to do and why they need to do it. read more

Reasonably priced, quality work, but the best part is their outstanding customer service!

an awesome place I would recommend them. The are a great place to go to for quality I will definitely come back

Extremely honest and great work. Been to a couple other mechanics around the area, and I was referred to Future Automotive by another automotive company I trust that works on my other car. They were very transparent about everything and they didnt try to sell me on anything I didnt need. They went above and beyond to help me with what I needed. I am truly thankful to Buddy and Jeff for their integrity and help. I will refer everyone I know to them from now on, and I'm happy I've found my permanent mechanics. read more

Jeff and his team are amazing. I can't thank them enough. They have been taking care of our 5 family vehicles for many years. He is reasonable, honest, and trustworthy. He has never steered us wrong. He is great at diagnostics and can figure it all out easily. If he can't do it himself, he refers us to a reputable body shop or other specialty services, and they have been great, too. read more

I have gone to Future Autootie for years. I always trust their service since I am at a vintage age and must rely on able bodied, honest people to service my car. I have never had a problem for the many years I have gone to Jeff and Buddy. read more

Great Customer Service!!!! I called to see about bringing in my car for damage to the gravel shield. After the heavy rains recently we woke up to something hanging down underneath the car. I called on a Friday as they were closing so he advised me to bring the car in on Monday. On Monday he called to check up on me and if I still needed help. We brought the car in, he put it up and cut the pieces of the broken gravel shield off and checked for damages. Unfortunately the gravel shield wasnt salvageable. He gave us recommendations on what to do next and we were out in less than 15 minutes FREE OF CHARGE! Thank you Buddy for your professionalism and outstanding customer service!!! We personally have never met a Mechanic who treats you like you like you at a 5 star hotel:) Thank again Buddy, we'll be back! read more

These guys are great. Honest, efficient, reasonably priced- TRUSTWORTHY. Been a customer for years.

These guys are great! You can tell they love their job. They have always been very helpful, professional and they know what they are doing. I'd highly recommend them. I just had my 1999 Camry in due to the engine light coming on. They were very attentive and got the job fixed quickly. read more

I highly recommend Future Automotive for your auto. Buddy is extremely nice and helpful!
