They have the best customer service. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

This is a bit crazy, but I was at the Valvoline next door and they checked my battery and said it was 0% and tried to sell me new battery. It was still under warranty so I visited the place I got the battery. They told me my terminals were corroded and gave me an estimate of $100 to over $1000. The car is over 10 years old and close to 100K, so it might need new cables which would require taking a lot of stuff out blah blah...they would not know until they started the work. Did I mention the car is old? I'm not spending $1000 on repairs. So I was looking on Yelp and found M & C. Seemed too good to be true. An auto shop with so many 5 star reviews? I drove in to see what they thought - Victor took care of the problem in less than 5 minutes. I have lived nearby for 30 years, driven past this place hundreds of times without noticing it. I just wish I had found Victor and M & C Auto a couple of decades ago. read more

Don't take your car here. They give you wrong diagnostics. Then replace the problem with wrong or bad parts.

From the start, they were incredibly kind and understanding over the phone when I explained my Jeep's situation. I had gone to another place that quoted me over $3000 for a repair, but this shop took the time to actually diagnose the issue. Turns out, my car was perfectly fine! They even went the extra mile by driving it around to ensure the check engine light wouldn't reappear. And then they sent me on my way! If you're looking for an honest and reliable auto shop, I'd definitely recommend swinging by M&C read more

I've got an older vehicle so I've been to M&C Auto Repair a handful of times. I love and trust them. Vincent always explains to me in detail what's going on with my vehicle and does it in a way that I can understand it. I highly recommend them! read more

Fix plate under my car. Made verbal appointment. Was on time, work well done. Price very reasonable. Will use this car repair again read more

Good work at a fair price. Owner is very professional and knowledgeable. I will go back and I recommend.

As a woman, I'm always afraid of getting screwed over by mechanics and auto shops. I was recommended to take my car to Vincent when it was having some major problems and I'm so glad I did!! He was incredibly honest and affordable. After taking my car into the dealership, they tried to tell me all of these things needed to be fixed and Vincent checked each issue out and told me they lied to me about a few of them to get more money out of me. The honesty alone was such a relief! He and his team have now gained a loyal customer. I'll never go elsewhere! All of my cars issues were fixed in a timely manner and now it's in incredible condition. 1000000/10 recommend M&C Auto Repair! If I could give them a million stars, I would. read more

We were visiting from LA when our car engine light went on and started making sounds. We searched for an auto repair nearby and found M&C Auto Repair. We quickly made our way there and Vincent helped us right away. He knew what was immediately wrong and fixed the problem on the spot so we can be on our way. Thank you Vincent for saving us! You are our hero! read more

If I could give Vince and his team a 20 star I would! I`ve been dealing with auto shops for 50+ years and M+C is by far the best! When it comes to work quality and reasonable pricing,M+C is the very best! Vince is HONEST to the core! If you have any problems with your ride,go to M+C Automotive in PB! read more

Been bringing my multiple vehicles here for 6 months now. Vincent and his guys have been honest, helpful, and have told me when I did and more importantly did not need to do certain work. Couldn't recommend this shop more. read more

I did replace the radiator. Hose was great job very happy with the place. I would recommend a place very fair price.

Every time I have called they have been able to get my car in that day and had my car ready before 4pm, even for bigger jobs (like brakes). Fair pricing and good work. Highly recommend! read more

Honest, trustworthy, efficient, and knowledgeable. Vince explained everything to me so I understood exactly what was going on with my Audi, and reviewed all of the charges beforehand so that I could decide what I was okay with. My pup also enjoyed coming to say hi to the guys! read more

I rarely post reviews but must share M&C Auto Repair with you. I neglected my car for several years by letting it die in my garage and not doing anything about it for over 4 years. I finally had it towed to get up and running again and selected this fabulous auto shop. I cannot tell you how gracious I am that they didn't try to rob me blind by fixing/replacing a bunch of things that were not necessary and that they went above and beyond to make sure everything was in great working order. As I mentioned, it sat dead in my garage for over 4 years and also had a nail in 1 of the tires. I was fully prepared to fork over a couple thousand to fix everything. To my absolute shock and amazement, I walked away with about a $600 bill, inclusive of the labor! You guys, they even went as far as washed it for me, put gas in it and smogged it. If you all knew just how bad a shape my poor car was in, you'd understand how gracious I am for the service I received at M&C. Honest people doing honest work. 5 stars is not enough read more

My boyfriend and I were in the area from out of town when our car suddenly started having issues. We found M&C Auto Repair and decided to give them a shot. Vince and his team were incredibly friendly and trustworthy, explaining everything clearly and getting us back on the road quickly. They didn't try to upsell us or suggest unnecessary repairs, which we really appreciated. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers. Highly recommend if you're ever in the area and need reliable service! Thank you read more

Hi Vincent and team! I trust this shop entirely. Good vibes and prices all around. My older Lexus has started to give me troubles this last year and everytime I am always impressed by the service and turn around time. They have a lot of business but somehow magically are able to squeeze me in. Keep it up Vince! Thanks so much -K read more

Wanted to find a new local mechanic (Pacific Beach area) for my 2010 Jeep Wrangler. M&C Auto kept showing great reviews on sites I looked at so decided to give them a shot when I had a coolant leak issue. They got me in the same day I contacted them, diagnosed the problem right away, which was a radiator leak. Quoted me a replacement and labor price which was way under other shops. Vincent, the shop manager, was great at showing me all that they did (system was flushed as well). Carlos was also helpful in keeping me informed of the work done. I definitely have found my new local auto shop! read more

10/10! I was so pleasantly surprised and impressed with the service here. I would highly recommend this place for any car issues - big or small. read more

Update 7/24 - still a regular, still happy, Vince is still the best! My parents drive both their Mercedes from Temecula to Vince in PB. We will not go anywhere else. read more

Very honest and trustworthy. Quick and efficient service. As a single woman I am sometimes intimidated to take my car places but I was looking for a new place and did some research. This place did not disappoint. Everyone was friendly and I will come back next time I need any work done! read more

It's hard to find a mechanic you like and trust. These guys are fantastic and have great pricing. He's very honest about what needs to be done and what services can wait. You won't be disappointed bringing your vehicle here. read more

My Daughter needed her air conditioner fixed and we reached out to several locations. So thankful we went to M & C Auto-they are Great! They are honest, get the repair done as soon as possible and their pricing was better than each of the other locations we visited and reached out to! This will definitely be our go to Auto Shop going forward! read more

I am from out of town and got the scary red triangle on our 2008 Prius with 192 k mph. I got the red triangle to go off after adding air to the tires. Did a minor service. They were able to get me in the next day. If I lived here, this would be my garage. read more

I had a 9:30 appointment and they were ready for me and got me in and out in 45 minutes. Good service and friendly people.

Responsive, frank, quick and takes time to educate. 2011 Toyota Camry lost fuel to engine at high speeds, dying multiple times on our way back from Baja Mex. M&C explained the problem to me in detail and the process to troubleshoot. Allowed me to attempt the initial fixes on my own free of charge. Then accommodated a last minute appointment when that didn't work. Fixed the issue and charged me very little. We were able to drive home to SF safely thanks to M&C. Would not hesitate to come here again. read more

Will most definitely take my car to M&C Auto repair again in the future. Vincent was very responsive to my phone calls and inquiries regarding my car. He even was kind enough to assist me with my third party warranty company and explaining the needed repairs. He provided excellent customer service. Thank you Vincent for all your help! read more

M & C Auto Repair - A cute little shop, all business no fluff - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

I came in looking to get a $400 belt replacement because my gas mileage went from 28mg to 18mg in the course of 4 years. he told me My belt looked great, and spent about 3 full days searching my car up and down for what was wrong and told me a few possible things I might want to do, walked away only spending $250 to replace my engine air filter, spark plugs, back wiper, and oil tank seal . My gas mileage is still 18mpg, but those repairs made my used car worth a lot more when I go to sell it. I appreciate the honesty and that he spent so much time searching for possible issues. I will be coming back in the future with my next car! read more

I didn't have an appointment but called in the morning, needed brakes and oil change. They were super busy and I was told it might be done the following day. I was okay with that. Got a call in the afternoon of the day I dropped it off saying it was done! Vince and his crew are amazing! Fair pricing and quick reliable service! Love it! Highly recommend! read more

Great quality service. Very reasonable prices. Extremely punctual. Very knowledgeable. Accurate estimates. Very clean shop. Highly recommend! read more

Very honest and reliable auto repair service. Vincent is the best and is very knowledgeable and accurate quotes! Would recommend this repair service to anyone! Thank you Vincent! read more

Excellent experience. I was having issues with my starter and my check engine light so I took my car in to the guys at M&C. Vincent helped me right away and I was able to get my car in the next morning. He fixed the starter that afternoon and it actually cost $20 less than the initial quote. That was a nice surprise. The check engine light was also taken care of later that week and when I came to pick it up he had my car smog passed and ready to go. All repairs were explained to me thoroughly and patiently before any work was done. I felt well taken care of. Friendly staff all around. This is my new go to spot for auto repairs. Highly recommended. read more

Had an unfortunate situation where I ran over some tire shreds on the freeway and a piece of the plastic attached to my bumper had been ripped off. I went to a body shop and they wanted $900 to replace the ENTIRE bumper. Upon a recommendation of a friend, I took my car here and the owner was able to identify and order the piece of plastic that was pulled off my bumper. He saved me from getting my entire bumper replaced and the repair only cost a fraction with me getting my car back in a day. Thank you!!! In summary, the owner of M&C Auto is honest, has a huge sense of accountability, and is a great local business! read more

Great experience having them help me with my car battery dying. They were able to take my car in quickly and ordered/received my new car battery within 1 day. I really appreciated their honesty and dilegence in explaining my car issues to me. They also ensured to check pricing with me before every action taken and confirmed whether it works for me and if we are good to proceed. I felt very in the know and appreciated their hard work and attention! Car battery fixed! Thank you read more

I heard great things about this place, and I can confirm they're the best! We had them check out our car today, and even though they couldn't specifically fix it (it was an electric issue) they diagnosed it quickly and helped us understand exactly what was going on. Will 100% be coming back if we have car troubles!! They're honest, quick, and super kind. read more

Trustworthy, car whisperers, great experience for many years, w/ Gilbert, Vincent, Crew. Thank you! I've always had peace of mind when I take there. They know what they are doing, are service oriented and reasonable. Recently took to a different shop 2x bc I moved but not that far and I regret not continuing to M&C but I'm back, of course! Whether or not the problem started or worsened at other station, nightmare(!) and was told irrepairable. Gut told me call M&C to which I towed. Vincent even looked at photo to get idea before. Then went above and beyond to repair. Even at over 200K (2001 Honda) is good again. If I move to the moon, I'll still go to M&C. Car always sounds better after on top of whatever repair. read more

Vincent, the owner, really made it happen for us today! He did a quick turn on an issue with our starter. We have used him a few times in the past 1.5 years. He is also very patient explaining questions we had on our SUV. read more

This place is awesome, and what really makes it so great, in my humble opinion, is the manager, Vincent! Vincent is always friendly, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile for his customers. He always makes you feel like he has time for you and he will always explain things thoroughly to you and patiently answer questions. He's also honest and he's not just trying to get you to fix stuff unless you need to. As someone who has had many an auto repair shop, take advantage of my lack of car knowledge, I trust this place, and they are the only repair shop I will go to from now on. Thank you so much, Vincent and M&C! :) read more

Came here two times already. Both times the service was great! My steering wheel had a knocking sound so they had to remove the entire thing to replace a piece. They took my car for the entire day and got it by the end of the day. The mechanic is very knowledgeable. I will def come back here for any car issues I have. read more

Very trustworthy shop, extremely helpful even going out of his way to help me with my subaru issues. Highly recommend taking your vehicle here for whatever it needs done. Thank you again!!! read more
