The dashboard indicator showed brakes and pad with message to take my car to the repair shop…read more The usual mechanic is always busy and there's a 2 month wait to get service. I can't wait, after searching and getting quotes on Yelp, I based my selection on credible positive reviews and chose Phan Auto Repair shop in Mira Mesa. I usually go to bigger established shops, but sometimes those shops are notorious for being dishonest about parts and labor costs $$$$. And every time I take my car to a dealer for repairs, they want to buy my current car and sell me a new car, which is their mission, other than overcharge. This shop is in Mira Mesa, not fancy by any means: the waiting area was very dirty, no air conditioning, and not enough space as the seats were crammed up. My objective was to drop off my car for brakes repair and dash out. There were 3 guys working at Phan, I spoke to Dave and Lai. I had previously texted via Yelp and their response was faster than their competitors, in fact a shop across the street quoted me $300-$400 more!! They answered all my questions, concerns and after 4 hours, installed OEM brake routers, pads and sensors on my MBZ. During that time, I took a Lyft to UTC and watched a 3 hrs movie: Odyssey, had lunch and shopped. Shortly thereafter, I got a call saying my car was ready. Upon paying, I made sure my receipt clearly included a warranty. Be aware there is a 3% fee if you pay with a credit card. But I was glad new brakes routers, pads and scensors were installed at a reasonable price. Thanks to Yelp and Yelpers reviews about this shop. Glad there is no brake squeak and will keep my fingers crossed about this recent brake work as I had an overall positive experience from this great shop Phan's Auto Repair.

I was told the wait would be 3-4 hours, and I was surprised to find that the price for a full synthetic had increased significantly. I decided to give the Valvoline on Mira Mesa Blvd a try. From the moment I arrived, the manager Le-Anna was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely accommodating. I was concerned about the cost, but she took the time to review my options and made sure I received the best value available. The entire oil change was completed in just 15 minutes, and the price was even better than what I had been paying at Walmart. I've found my new go-to place for oil changes and won't be returning to Walmart. Thank you to Le-Anna and the Valvoline team for providing such an excellent experience

My social media algorithm was working and I saw an ad on instagram for a free car wash! I signed up with my email and it gave me a free car wash voucher with the lifespan of a month to use it. For the lowest tier (most basic wash) it's $20.99/month. The free car wash includes a single foam wash, bug remover, wheel cleaner, an air freshener, and a dash wipe. They also provide vacuums, tire pump, and wash cloths that should be returned back to them. Given that the bugs were caked on for a couple of months; I'll give the car wash the benefit of the doubt that it would have cleaned it off more if I hadn't waited for so long. With that being said there were a lot of bugs still stuck on the front of the car and side mirrors It's cool that they have the free use of vacuums, tire pumps, and rags... but the vacuums had very little suction :( in the video you can see me try to suck up the dirt but nothing is getting picked up. I gave up trying to clean my mats and left. ---- Overall: not the best car wash, $20.99/month but I'm glad I was able to try it out for free, the vacuums didn't work

I wanted him to inspect my brakes and explained that my parking brake needed repair. I left my car and he told me he would call me when the car was completed. I received a call 2 hours later and was told my car was ready. He told me that my brakes were like knew and that nothing needed to be done. He took care of the parking brake and he helped me with some additional questions I had. The repair was fast and done at a reasonable rate. Well folks, I was lucky enough to find Minh and he will definitely be my new auto mechanic. His work ethic and honesty is hard to find these days, but I lucked out thanks to Yelp and my Yelp ohana.

Bottom Line Upfront: Miramar Auto Repair is one of the best values of any auto shop in San Diego…read more Jason and Pedro were exceptional in taking care of me, and finding a solution to a very technical challenge. I brought in my Honda Ridgeline for an issue with my AC. Jason worked with me at the front-desk and went above and beyond to understand my issue and the troubleshooting I had already done. He explained to me CONCISELY what the feasible issue may be, and how they were going to approach a diagnosis. Jason was extremely knowledgeable, and followed up promptly to discuss the fix. Pedro was also exceptional. He found the issue (rodent-chewed wires) and repaired it perfectly. When I picked up my car, he was as excited as I was to have helped me. Before Miramar Auto, I took my truck to the Honda dealer, and they charged twice as much for a diagnosis, only to tell me that I would need a new compressor (incorrect diagnosis) and that it would cost twice as much as I ended up paying out the door at Miramar auto. I couldn't believe how easy Miramar Auto made it. To say that Jason, Pedro, and Miramar Auto are honest, fair, and made me feel taken care of... would be an understatement. They have rightfully earned another lifelong customer. Thank you Miramar Auto!

I contacted Victor to inspect a blind spot monitor malfunction on my SUV that appeared shortly…read moreafter an alignment and camber adjustment were performed at another shop. Over the phone, Victor initially seemed knowledgeable, he explained several possible causes and how the issue might be corrected and said they will inspect the vehicle before there is a charge. However, my in-person experience was disappointing. I arrived for my 2PM appointment, and the first thing he told me was that he was going to lunch at 2PM and asked me to return in 30 minutes. Since I had come straight from work, I chose to wait. During that time, I noticed staff BBQing food inside the shop near my vehicle, filling the area with smoke, this felt unprofessional and concerning. After inspecting my car and pulling the diagnostic codes, Victor pointed out a small dent on the rear of my vehicle from about four years ago. He then suggested that I had been in a collision that caused the blind spot monitor issue and implied that I may have repaired the damage, and seeking to "blame" the alignment shop. I found this assumption inappropriate and unfounded. He ultimately recommended another alignment. When I asked for clarification, specifically whether he meant a calibration instead, since I had just completed an alignment. He responded dismissively, saying, "alignment...calibration... It's the same SHIT." This response, along with his overall tone, came across as unprofessional. Overall, I did not feel confident in the assessment or the level of professionalism provided.

Higher viscosity leads to higher pressures which lead to seals leaking and failing. I'm really surprised you haven't researched this. How about the leaking oil filter a day after install?

How about the scratches from resting my tires on the paint of my car? Lazy and inconsiderate. Pulled from the article that copied and pasted "Engine Design Changes: Newer Toyota engines are designed with tighter tolerances and specific lubrication needs that necessitate these thinner oils, such as OW-16 or OW-8." Exactly my 2019 Lexus ux250 is a newer Toyota engine if you weren't aware , so why are changing it?
