What an absolutely amazing experience!…read more First of all, I just want to say that Hrant took my call with a lot of respect and kindness despite my kid unfortunately teething in the background. As it goes being a parent I was trying to do too many things at once and life happens. None the less Hrant was very understanding of the situation and did his best to prioritize getting my car in ASAP the next day due to an upcoming trip on my end. I showed up bright and early, his team took a look at my car, did a test drive and fixed my issue all under an hour! Hrant let me know that the issue was a loose nut that could have lead to a dangerous situation on the road. They fixed things up and charged a very fare rate given how quickly they got me in, addressed the issue and how good the customer service was. I was looking for a new mechanic and thankfully it seems like I found my guy! I absolutely can not thank these guys enough. I will be back and you should absolutely come through too.

From the moment I walked in, the team was friendly, professional, and genuinely knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed or confused. What really stood out was how fair and transparent their pricing was. I had received quotes from a few other shops that were significantly higher -- but here, I got top-notch service without breaking the bank. The repairs were done efficiently, and my car drives better than ever. This shop goes above and beyond, and I highly recommend them to any BMW owner looking for quality work at a great price. I'll definitely be returning for all future service needs!

I was told by the gentleman at the desk that there were a few appointments ahead of me so it would be a wait which was understandable for a walk in with no prior appointment. I was prepared to leave and come back to pick up my car but the manager came out and spoke to me a bit about why I was there that day and it seems a technician had finished their job ahead of time so they said a tire patch was quick and just handled my case immediately. I was out the door in 30 minutes, and the price hasn't changed in 3 years still $40 bucks for the tire patch. Where do you find service like this with an auto shop, and what business hasn't raised prices in 3 years? I saw a bakery increase cost on the same cake by $6 from April 2025 to Dec 2025, the price gouging is endemic. As I was waiting in the office I overheard another customer mention they were moving, and the employee told them to call from their new location if they had any questions about repairs or history on their car they might need when getting work done by another shop at the new location. That's not an attempt to sell any billable service, that's due diligence and beyond. Highly recommend this place for your auto services, its a clean and efficient operation and run by people who still care about their customers.

They also checked my oil and topped off (I was extremely low). Today I came in to ask a question about my oil. They noticed I was past due on my oil change and said we could take you now and have you put in an hour. This would have never happened at my old mechanic. To be seen by them you have to go first thing in the morning leave your car and hope they call you same day to say it's ready for pickup. I would definitely recommend come here. Fast efficient and worth your time.

I noticed I had a headlight out when I left my apartment. I decided to drop by Del Mar Auto before I went home. I pulled up and was greeted as I got out of my car. I explained the situation to Hutch. Before I could even get my hood open Hutch returned with a lightbulb. He worked quickly and before I knew it, my headlight bulb was replaced. I paid my bill and made an appointment for other problems I noticed with my car. It's nice to go to someone that cares about your safety with the quality work that they do at Del Mar Auto. Honesty is not always found when dealing with mechanical issues. Easy to notice on the corner of Del Mar Boulevard and Allen Avenue. I think they care about my car as much as I do. I always try to make an appointment to save time.

All I can tell you is these guys know what they're talking about. And they don't make you feel small to help themselves seem like the experts.

I've been to many mechanics around LA, many with 5 star ratings. All bad. One wanted to replace my ENGINE, kid you not, because THEY put my thermostat ($20 part) back in upside down and it caused an overheat condition! Most house moms don't know any better. "Oh my blinker fluid is low?" Avoid the f around and find out shops! They're out there, lurking. Take my word for it.

After I pickup my supra I noticed the exhaust sound wasn't consistent which Flow Master and lifted the car to discover a generic no brand muffler and very poor welded job. When I confronted Omar, he said that despite my muffler not saying it was a Flow Master. I called Flowmaster the company to confirm, and they let me know they do not create Flowmaster mufflers without the Flowmaster brand emblem. Advance Muffler also had installed a 'magma flow" muffler on my son's Acura Integra a few months back so I also lifted his car to find that his muffler was also generic with no brand markings. I spoke to Omar about the situation and he refunded my Supra install and stated he is not a muffler guy and didn't know. I believe this shop often claims to sell you brand name mufflers, like Flowmaster at a premium price and installs generic no name mufflers not expecting customers to ever check.
