Second time I brought it in for diagnosis and inspection and they quickly found that all I needed was oil change. They were kind enough to give a significant discount for the inspection fee. They seem to be good in telling you what needs to be fixed and not overcharging or telling you stuff needs done when it's fine

This was a big job and I was nervous about the outcome because I didn't know John. The price was very fair. Less than a week later, I received a message that my van was ready for pickup. My wife and I were pleased with the smoothness of our van and to have all of the problems we had with the old engine gone. It has now been a year or close to a year since the engine replacement. Since then John has serviced all of our vehicles. We have been pleased with every job he has done for us and especially appreciate his integrity that allows us to contact him if we detect anything wrong with the repair. We've never had to contact him, but pleased with knowing he takes full responsibility for his repairs. For the last month, I've been driving my Toyota Avalon around scorching hot San Diego with no air conditioning. I took it to a nearby Honda service center only because they were closer to where I live. They quoted me over $1900 to replace the compressor and some other parts. This included labor. I brought my Toyota Avalon to John last night not expecting him to do anything until the next day. That same night, John texted me the fantastic news that he didn't believe my car needed a compressor, but was in desperate need of freon. John wanted to keep it overnight to see if he could detect any leaks. This morning, John contacted me to pick up my car! For the first time in over a month, my car felt like the North Pole. Don't usually do reviews or speak this much, but I owe this to John and his team for their excellent mechanic work and honesty.

Miramar Auto Repair - Japanese Auto Plus

Highly recommend for road trip prep!…read more This is an amazing place to get your vehicle inspected before a long road trip. I booked online, noted my concerns in the text box, and dropped my car off the next day. After checking in at the office, I walked Joey through my concerns and opted for a Post-Purchase Inspection. Joey sent over the findings quickly and gave me his honest, upfront opinion on what needed immediate attention before my trip versus what maintenance could wait until I reached my destination. He also provided a clear copy of the inspection quotes so there were no surprises. In the end, they completed the full inspection, replaced the car battery, and fixed a coolant leak for around $550+ (including taxes). I definitely recommend this shop! Pro-tip: Try to get there early in the day, as on-site parking and road traffic can get a bit hectic later on.

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!

Had a problem with cascading failure of turn signal, trunk latch, rear camera and shifter. My regular shop spent a lot of time and money over the course of three extended visits (fixes only lasted a couple of days) then gave up. Then took it to the dealer, who kept the car for a week and fixed the taillight and told me nothing else was wrong. The fix lasted a couple days. Made an appointment with Victor at Luxe, he said to expect it to take most of the day. He called late that day and said that I had two problems rather than one and that he would need a few more hours the following day to finish. When I came back to get the car the next day he told me the car must have been in an accident (true) and that the body shop used the incorrect socket for the taillight and that the wiring in the trunk had been damaged but not replaced. He showed me pictures and the circuit diagrams he used to chase down each issue. Charge was reasonable for a day and a half's work. I am delighted with how thorough Luxe is and the quality of the work. I'll never go anywhere else. read more

I have a 2004 Saab 9-3 with only 1 keyfob that worked. The keyfob was dropped and stopped working, so was unable to start the vehicle at all. There are no longer any Saab dealers, and the repair in such a situation is difficult to say the least. I found Luxe Electrical online. I was able to send them the vehicle's CIM module (removal instructions online) and the damaged keyfob for repair. They fixed and returned the items - plus an additional keyfob on the same day! Turnaround time was incredible. I received the item, plugged in the CIM module back into the vehicle, inserted both Keyfobs and the vehicle started the first time. I highly recommend Luxe Electrical for this type of work at a FRACTION of the cost in other locations. Very happy customer. read more

SCAM. They did Not fix the Issue. In fact, they made it far worse. Now, also, the battery gauge needle keeps Popping all over the Place. They seemed incompetent to fix even a basic problem, and said to come back, if it didn't clear itself. Needless to say, I did not come back. The Technician was acting very strange and erratic. They also said that they do "NOT" Honor yelp discount that they advertise... At All. They said it doesn't "apply to Electrical" Hmmmm, their NAME has Electrical, in it!!

They provided a detailed report on my vehicle's health with photos and clear evidence/explanations, which I really appreciated as someone who doesn't know much about cars myself. I had my coils, spark plugs, and batteries replaced, and while the labor was definitely expensive, it seemed fair considering the amount of work involved. They explained that it takes hours just to access the area they needed to get to on my car, which helped me better understand the pricing. I'd say it's definitely cheaper than taking it to the dealership and it's always nice to support a local business! It's only been a week so far, but the check engine light has stayed off and I haven't had the same issues since the repairs. Chris especially was amazing. I actually caught him right at closing time while he was locking up, and he still took the time to answer all my questions, listen to my concerns, and make me feel comfortable about the work being done.

This might be lengthy, but these guys deserve every word and a few minutes of my time…read more 2007 honda civic si 2 door coupe with 80K on the odometer. I was saving it for my son when he turned 16. Now he's 16, but the problem is that he's the kind of kid that I don't have full confidence in when it comes to using a clutch and stick. Anyway, I (after looking around for about a year at new civics) decided, "Screw this. I'm not taking on a new car payment for the stuff they're offering. My '07 is awesome, it just needs a little tweak here and there. I'd rather restore what I've got for between $5-10k all in." The first thing was the clutch, because a mechanic at Shell f'd it up a few years back. So I buy the exedy racing clutch on Amazon and start hunting for someone to install it. Just for giggles, I went to Honda in Kearney Mesa (San Diego) to get a quote. Labor alone? $2,652 with a timeline of 24-36 hours. Yeah. Right. I'm sure. Literally TWO blocks away, I stumbled upon Car Tune after some online prowling. Anyway, I found them, and I KNEW I struck gold the second I pulled up. I hadn't even MET anyone yet. All I had to see were the cars they were working on. Fully 80% of the cars in the bay and parking area were what would be considered "street racers," and I know from living in San Diego how SERIOUS these guys are about their cars. They DON'T mess around. They're sort of like the car version of Harley Davidson fanatics when it comes to motorcycles. That alone put a smile on my face. Second thing I noticed? It may seem like a trivial issue to most people, but because I'm in the restaurant business for over 30 years, I notice stuff like this. But here it is. Every guy working there was nearly SPOTLESS. I don't mean they were decked out in matching uniforms or anything. They were just wearing regular clothes, but everything they were wearing had a MINIMAL amount (if anything at all) of dirt, grease, grime, oil and everything else that comes with the automotive trade. In other words, PROFESSIONAL. The garage itself was basically the same way. Think about it. If you went into the hospital to have your BODY "tuned up" and the doctor walked into the room with blood stains all over his outfit how much confidence would you have about his professionalism? Anyway, those 2 factors made a really good first impression on me. After telling them my problem and letting them know I've got the part, they quote me $1,600 LESS than honda, and at least $200 less than other places I had called. Plus, they gave me a 10 hour timeline as opposed to 1-2 days. They came in well under the deadline, and my 8th gen is running like it's brand f'n new. There's more to that clutch story,but you understand the broad strokes so onto the next fix. The air conditioner. Sooo, of course I pull up to my new friends one morning after dropping my son off at his job a few blocks away. Once again, I explain what's going on to one of the guys who's outside and he tells me he isn't "..quite sure what the exact # is, but I think we charge around $250.." That's fine with me, because I've had others quote me figures closer to $400, like Jiffey Lube who charges me $90 for an oil change. Keep those 2 #s in mind because they're relevant. So, I go home and call the next day to make an appointment. When I show up, I find out that the other guy was waaaay off on his #s because it wasn't $250....it was $135. And, once again, I was told it would take about an hour and a half. About 30 minutes in, one of the guys mentions that my oil is low. I was getting ready for an oil change in a few weeks anyway so I said "Go ahead, whatever you think is best." They said it'd be $35 extra. So, air conditioner fixed and blowing air colder than a witch's tit, and an oil change cost me $170 plus tax, and it was done perfectly. Jiffy Lube would have whacked me for 5 bills and taken all day long to do it. Car Tune did it in 50 minutes which is 40 minutes less than the time they quoted me. One other thing and then I'm out. It's not just that THEY'RE good, it's that birds of a feather flock together. In other words, they don't fix headliners, but when I asked them about it they instantaneously knew exactly who I should call, which again is the mark of a pro in any line of work. I need some body work done. 20 years of little dents dings etc. They'll know someone. I eventually want to paint it. They'll know someone. It's people like this that make a difference. There's a line from the movie Rounders that comes to mind. "You can shear a sheep many times, but skin him only once." The team at Car Tune CLEARLY understands that principle.

The issue I was having was a check engine light with an evap code. The dealership could not pinpoint the leak? and recommended lowering the gas tank to further diagnose the problem. So I came here with this intention, though realizing that I would get charged another diagnostic fee. They started on it the morning after I dropped it off and within a couple hours they called and told me it was the vent valve. I was surprised since this was actually the easiest part to change, and the dealer was wrong or lying to me. I'll be going back hard and heavy to the dealership getting my money back, believe me.. But of course I was happy with this since the total job cost was several hundred less than expected! My car actually gets better gas mileage from this repair! Now I really did find an honest, reasonable shop for my Subaru and Toyotas. Another thing that was exceptional here was the follow up text from the owner, who seems to be there every day to interact and provide great customer service. He shows genuine concern for your satisfaction, which, I believe is unheard of in this day and age. He even sent me another message just a few days ago to ask how my vehicle has been running! An excellent business that I can't recommend more.

WOW! WOW! WOW! 10/10 Ricardo went well above and beyond. I can't recommend him enough…read more My daughter is currently going to college at UCSD and had her starter go out. Im the kind of guy that is able to fix things like this but hard to do from so far away. It's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic especially so far away. Not only was he able to come out and diagnose the problem the same day but he was able to order parts and repair it quickly. It was a tough starter change due to the location and having to remove the manifold ect. I know because ive done it once already and its a very complex repair. The parts cost more than anticipated due to the extra gaskets and coolant needed and he still honored the original quote. We gave him extra because of all the extra work he did. He topped off her break fluid, air in the tires, gave it a once over to make sure that it was tip top shape. Also gave my daughter an education on her car. Even took pictures of all the parts and video of it running smooth. As a father it puts me at ease knowing that I can call him in the future I wish I had mechanics like him closer to me. EXCELLENT JOB Thank you so much! GREAT JOB

Shady company. Asking for money before they come and when I don't want to pay he texts " we don't…read morefeel comfortable looking at the car you have anyways" Happy to take my business elsewhere. Car mechanics are a dozen a dime. The car is at my house. I happily offered to pay upon arrival or before he disclosed the diagnostics results ( which seems fair to me I don't have free money to Venmo night prior to someone I don't know) but I then received the very rude text. Again, take your business elsewhere.

Hands down the best shop in San Diego! I am so glad I found Precision Auto. O'neil, Fyel, and their…read moreteam are absolutely top-notch and do a wonderful job taking care of my Acura. It can be hard to find a shop you truly trust, but these guys make it easy! They do quality work, have fair pricing, and keep you updated throughout the process. They've done my timing belt, radiator, suspension components, etc. and I will continue servicing my vehicle with them. They are genuinely good guys who run an honest, high-quality business. And for these reasons I absolutely recommend them!

Fyel and crew completely wiped out all the causes of my CEL lean condition and even repaired some shoddy work from past shops. my old Tiguan feels like how it probably did factory new. All the recouped power and the faster turbo spool-up has me smoking Teslas and Civics on the streets and freeways. Best of all, I'm SMOG ready with no CEL on! Thanks again to Precision for their thoroughness, honesty, and value to the customer.. this car and all my other future cars are only ever coming here back here for life.

Sawaya Automotive

Posting on behalf of my partner:…read more "I am in the midst of a cross-country road trip in a very old Subaru (230k miles), which had its check engine light come on as I approached the San Diego area. I found Sawaya Automotive online and brought the car in. I could immediately tell that I had made a good choice. The owner Tony greeted me in the parking lot and was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the process. I would say my impression is that he is the most honest auto mechanic I have encountered anywhere around the US. It turned out that I had a very serious engine issue and that it was better to sell the car than get it fixed. Tony was so kind in explaining this to me in detail, and he never tried to convince me to pay for repairs that didn't make financial sense. It was not the news that I was wanting to hear, but that's not the fault of Tony or anyone else at Sawaya Automotive. If I ever need auto maintenance work again in San Diego I will definitely come back here."

I have exclusively been going to Tony for any of my car needs for the last 8 years…read more He and his team are by far the most knowledgeable mechanics, and have always provided great and reliable service. He is honest and will give you recommendations on how to keep your car in prime condition. Don't go to him if you're looking for cheap, low-quality service. If you want expert mechanic work and are looking to get the full lifespan of your car, he is your guy. Not only that, but Tony has connections all over San Diego for services other than mechanical work. He has helped me get my transmission replaced in an old Toyota Avalon, knows the best guy to get your engine steam-cleaned, and helped connect me with a center that does body-damage/painting after a collision. The reason I am just writing a review after going to him for 8 years is because I was blown-away with my last service experience with him a few days ago. I took my 2011 Toyota Camry in for it's 60,000 mile service, which he did along with replacing my rear struts (which were original). My car is now running better than it did when I bought it 2 years ago at 35,000 miles. Not only that, but he completed all the work in 1 day and didn't charge me for an additional $600 worth of work. He is truly an honest mechanic and I can't recommend him and his shop enough. I won't take my cars anywhere else.

Miramar Auto Repair - Japanese Auto Plus

Highly recommend for road trip prep!…read more This is an amazing place to get your vehicle inspected before a long road trip. I booked online, noted my concerns in the text box, and dropped my car off the next day. After checking in at the office, I walked Joey through my concerns and opted for a Post-Purchase Inspection. Joey sent over the findings quickly and gave me his honest, upfront opinion on what needed immediate attention before my trip versus what maintenance could wait until I reached my destination. He also provided a clear copy of the inspection quotes so there were no surprises. In the end, they completed the full inspection, replaced the car battery, and fixed a coolant leak for around $550+ (including taxes). I definitely recommend this shop! Pro-tip: Try to get there early in the day, as on-site parking and road traffic can get a bit hectic later on.

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!

He was kind and made us feel welcomed right away. He took the time to clearly explain what would be done to the car and how long it would take, which we really appreciated. His staff was just as helpful. America, the receptionist, took down our information and walked us to the waiting area. The entire process was actually faster than expected, and my car felt amazing immediately afterward. I'll definitely be coming back here if I ever need work done on my car again.
