Warning, avoid this shop. I went there on April to leave my 1…read moreCar for a clutch replacement. I left them the complete kit with all new parts. I kept calling them every day, and they kept telling me it wasn't ready. After 5 days, I went to the shop in person, and it still wasn't ready, so I told them I wasn't leaving until they fixed it. They finally started working on it, but I had to wait many hours. When they finally replaced the clutch, I asked the shop owner to test-drive the vehicle to make sure everything was fine, and I handed him the key. I immediately noticed he looked annoyed. He started driving while keeping the clutch pressed about a quarter of the way down. With a brand-new clutch, new pressure plate, new flywheel, new master cylinder, and a freshly bled line, that is not good. The clutch is hydraulic and responds immediately. I didn't say anything during the drive, but he was driving around 30 to 35 mph on the streets near the shop. When we got back, I told him he had been riding the clutch the whole way. He said nothing was wrong. At that moment, smoke started coming out from under the vehicle. I opened the hood and saw smoke coming from the transmission, and it smelled like a burnt clutch. He said that was a normal part of the process and that all clutches smoke when they are replaced. He said there was nothing to do. Very disappointed, I took my vehicle and left. I drove a couple of blocks, then had to turn back because they had forgotten to reconnect the rear differential. The vehicle was only moving with the front wheels, and the owner had been driving it that way with 4x4 engaged. At 30-35 miles per hour is not good for the differentials or the clutch. I returned to the shop and demanded they fix it. They did, and I only asked whether they were sure everything was okay so I wouldn't have to come back again. Then they started my vehicle, revved it, and did reverse burnouts to show me the rear differential was connected. That was very rude and I did not like it. That is why I say to avoid this shop. They are not professional. Honestly, I also had some extra parts there that I had bought, and when I left the shop they were gone. They were clutch-related parts I had bought as extras. I can't say for sure that they took them, but they disappeared while the vehicle was in their shop and on their property. If you think it ended there, let me tell you it is getting worse. About 9 or 10 weeks after going through such a terrible experience at that shop, Energy Transmissions, my clutch started having trouble getting up hills. I also have trouble getting onto the freeway. I do not drive off-road; I only drive on the road.I use it every day for my daily trips. The issue is that the clutch no longer disengages where it should at the lower part of the pedal travel. When you press the pedal, it should disengage lower down, but now it disengages very high. I have to buy another clutch and pay labor again at a professional shop. Next time I will be much more careful. I'm making this warning so people do not fall for it blindly. If someone reads this review before deciding to go to that place, I hope they take it into consideration. Sorry if I said anything inappropriate; what is happening to me is very frustrating. My apologies if I didn't use the exact right words, but basically I'm trying to tell people to avoid that shop so they don't end up having a bad time, a bad month, and an expensive bad experience Please avoid this shop.

Spoke to the owner Mario who was able to accommodate my car transmission removal and replaced. I had my car towed here and Mario and his staff Rhonda and Miguel were all professional and helpful. The surrounding area is rough but the shop assured me my car would be secured. It took about a week to complete the work and the cost was more reasonable than at the MBZ dealer where they quoted me triple the amount. I waited over a couple months before posting this review just to make sure all was good. If you own your car and it's beyond the warranty coverage and the transmission goes out, I suggest you call Mario for the job. Recommend

I called several places before deciding on M&R, and most shops just gave vague answers or high quotes without even looking at the car. But when I spoke to Señor Mario, the owner at M&R, he explained everything in detail, gave me a reasonable price using OEM parts, and made the whole process easy and trustworthy. The service was quick--faster than I expected--and both Mario and his wife were super friendly. They even gave me a military veteran discount, which I really appreciated. Overall, I trust these guys completely and would recommend them to anyone in San Diego (or even beyond) who needs transmission work done right. I'm definitely planning to bring my '98 Jeep there next time. Thanks again to M&R! Muchas gracias, Señor Mario!

It was also NO EXTRA FEE and FAST!!!!!! Booking was super easy, and he showed up right on time with everything he needed. He came and worked on my Toyota Avalon 2019 XSE and he walked me through the process, explained what he was doing without being condescending, and made sure I felt completely comfortable the entire time. That kind of respect and clarity goes a long way. The oil change was quick, clean, and thorough--he even checked my other fluids and tire pressure just to be sure everything was in good shape. No surprise charges, no pressure for extra services, just solid, reliable work. It's so convenient to have someone come to you, and with this owner, I never felt rushed or uneasy. It's rare to find a mechanic who's not only skilled but also genuinely trustworthy. **Highly recommend Speed Auto Repair, especially to other people who want peace of mind and great service.**

The shop performed significant engine-related work, and after about a day and a half in the shop, I paid roughly $1,400 for the repairs. Unfortunately, only a few weeks later, the same P0300 engine code returned. When I contacted the shop, they advised me to bring the vehicle back so they could take another look. However, despite several attempts to coordinate, we ended up playing phone tag and the follow-up experience never materialized. I will say that the customer service was excellent while my vehicle was being serviced. Unfortunately, after I picked up the car, the level of communication and customer support was not the same. Since the issue remained unresolved, I eventually sought a second opinion from another mechanic. During the inspection, the mechanic removed the intake manifold and discovered that the foam seal inside the intake manifold cover had been bent during reassembly (please see photo). As a result, it was not sealing properly and was rubbing against the fuel injector rail. According to the mechanic, this condition was contributing to the engine misfires and the recurring P0300 code. I was disappointed to learn that such a simple reassembly issue appeared to be the root cause of a problem that persisted after the original repair. Given the amount of money spent and the unresolved issue, I expected greater attention to detail and better follow-up support. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop.
