Kassandra was also very welcoming and thoughtful, she even recommended a small bakery nearby if I wanted a comfortable place to relax while waiting. As a woman, it can sometimes be difficult to find a mechanic you feel comfortable with and can trust not to take advantage of you. This was absolutely the best place to go,I felt respected, informed, and completely at ease throughout the whole process. Overall, an AMAZING experience. I truly appreciate the great customer service!

Are you going to warranty issues that arise to the switching to an oil that would void a mfg…read morewarranty? I bet not! 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? Seems like a sure way to get more money outta a customer once their engine gets starved of oil. How about the sloppy work with oil left all over my car? Lack of care and integrity. 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?

I appreciate the great customer service and doing all the proper steps to figure out the issue on my car. I also appreciate them reaching out to me and I put out a help message here on Yelp. They sounded so professional which is why I chose to go to them and I am so glad I did. It costed $700 to fix my brakes, but I think it was worth it because I never want to experience my brakes going out on me like that again. Thank you so much Nathan and the team at Dualtone Muffler! I seriously appreciate it a lot!

Brought my Jeep Wrangler back to Life!…read more I feel safe driving my 2007 Jeep again, it even drives noticeably better! After leaving me stranded, Meineke found out it was just a broken transmission cable and repair was ~$600. Not accusing my old mechanic for the broken cable, the Jeep is from 2007 after all, but he told me it wasn't worth fixing and offered me $2K for it. Thank goodness my boss, a VP, recommended I towed it to Meineke in PB! Not only they did the repair but took the time to ask me what my goal was for the Jeep, keep or sell, and gave me confidence keeping it. It has a few leaks but it's in good shape for my commute and some camping trips out in Anza. Although they were closing on a Friday, they even took the time to teach me, LIKE A FAMILY MEMBER, how to keep an eye on the coolant and oil to make notes on the leaks to go over on our next oil change. Thank you Meineke Team!

Francisco, Danny and the rest of the team are amazing, and incredibly nice. They not only make you…read morefeel comfortable leaving your car with them, knowing they are experts, but they also take the time to explain everything that is happening and ensure that you are getting the best possible service they can give. Are they the cheapest? No. They use OEM Certified parts and warranty them. This gives you peace of mind in case anything happens. Yeh, those parts tend to be a little more expensive. It's still a lot cheaper than going to the dealership, and faster too. On another note: I really want to bring them pillows for their waiting room couch. It's a bit uncomfortable if you're sitting there for a while. Be prepared. There's a Starbucks a few doors down, which is nice as well, so you can grab a coffee while you wait.

I honestly felt like he treated me like family. Really happy that I came here because he was such a genuine and honest man and did such a wonderful job.

This is a bit crazy, but I was at the Valvoline next door and they checked my battery and said it…read morewas 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.

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!
