Steve and his crew there are fantastic. Expedient, trust-worthy and friendly. I had my oil and brake fluid replaced on my Audi rs6 in just under 90 mins. Audi dealer would've taken 3 days and 2x the cost. Highly recommend. read more

I've now had service with this auto shop 2 times. First time I had a brake replacement and transmission fluid change, and they even checked my suspension (which the dealership told me needed replacing even though it had been replaced not so long ago) . I respected that they did not upcharge after my quote, I paid exactly what my quote was. Other autoshops seemed to want more and their quotes were just the minimum price. 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 read more

I had an issue with my gas tank in a Volkswagen Jetta 2019 that ended up with me having to replace the whole gas tank. Shop went above and beyond for service and worked with me to get a fair price. I was really scared of getting scammed, but they were incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain exactly what went wrong and the steps they were taking to fix it. I can't recommend them enough for anybody with a Volkswagen. read more

We have been with MR Auto SD for a few years now. They have always been very honest and efficient. Always on time and the fees are very fair. Definitely recommend. read more

Great service, highly recommended. Many thanks to Steve and the team for fixing the issue quickly and at a reasonable price.

This is my regular service shop for my cars. The staff are very friendly. They render high quality service at good price.

I wrote to these guys through Yelp on 11/9/25 describing my "project" of replacing the transmission in my 2014 Fiat 500L, and asking if they were able to perform work that extensive. Yelp says they normally respond within a couple hours, but it was a weekend so I didn't expect a response until Monday. I followed up on Thursday 11/13/25 with a phone call since I still hadn't received a response online. They said they weren't interested in working on a Fiat so they just didn't respond. Definitely not the kind of business practices I would want to deal with. read more

Always come here for any car issues I ever come encounter with. They always provide me with exceptional service and reliable prices. My go to spot whenever it becomes to car needs! read more

I requested service regarding my coolant leaking in my Camry. They did a multi point inspection too finding that my rear brakes were no good so they serviced that too. I'm very happy with their service and highly recommend. I will most likely return for future services with my work being walking distance away Thank you MR AUTO! read more

I've been coming to Mr. Auto for a couple of years now. They are great, always clear communicators, fast and quality service, at a reasonable price. The employees are friendly. They always turn around my car within a couple of hours which makes it easy to hang around and not have to uber home then uber back later. read more

Used them several times for brake change and other smaller maintenance tasks on some of my older Japanese cars. Quality service at a fair price. Two thumbs up. read more

An Honest Mechanic You Can Actually Trust! Mr. Auto SD has officially become my trusted auto repair shop in San Diego, and I just had to give them a shout-out. This morning, I brought in my Infiniti QX60 because of a "door ajar" warning light that wouldn't go away. They gave me a fair preliminary quote, but after checking it out, the mechanic noticed the real issue -- a tiny dent by the sensor from closing the door on the seatbelt one too many times. Instead of trying to upsell me or replace the sensor, he came up with a quick fix that solved the problem without costing hundreds. That level of honesty is rare these days! If you're tired of wondering whether your mechanic is being upfront, go see Mr. Auto SD. They're professional, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers. read more

These guys are amazing. I have a 2013 VW Passat TDI. They not only work on it they make it work! Very honest. Well worth a visit for complicated or routine maintenance on your VW. read more

This place is really tucked in the corner. Took me two laps around the complex to finally found the place! I came in looking for an oil change and tire rotation. Total was about ~90, which was reasonable. I showed up super early, hoping they can squeeze me in last minute.... And guess what? They did! They were honest about their schedule and wait time which I appreciated. They didn't try to cram me in and have me wait for hours. They were upfront and honest about their availability. I walked out of there pleased with my experience and will probably be back. But make an appointment, y'all! Don't be like me and hoping they can just see you when you show up! read more

We have been coming to Mr. Auto for years. Steve and everyone are honest, reliable, efficient, and we trust them completely. I highly recommend them! read more

I felt very insecure because my father and brother live so far away and I didn't know any other men who could help me with my car. My coworker recommended the shop because she said the people are trustworthy and the prices are affordable. They also fixed her 350z. My car had numerous issues, and I was embarrassed, but she reassured me. I was able to drop off my car before work so that it wouldn't interfere with my work hours. They were able to look at vehicle and provide me with a quote and breakdown of the prices for items that needed to be repaired as well as items that could be addressed later. When I got my car back, I felt relieved. All of my car anxiety and problems were resolved in a single short visit. The prices were significantly lower than those quoted by the other mechanics in the area. Mr. Auto SD is highly recommended because they repaired my car. They communicate well, are understanding, and I can rely on their professional advice and expertise. read more

Clean, no-nonsense shop. Called a few days prior for an appointment - was scheduled promptly. Had to push the appointment back a few hours due to newly scheduled meetings but was accommodated no problem. Arrived at the shop. Car was serviced with no wait - about 25 minutes for a full synthetic oil change and general inspection. Paper work was also taken care of promptly. Pricing was fair - don't forget to check-in on Yelp for an extra discount! read more

The alternator went out for my Corolla. Called them up for their great review. I was surprised that Steve was able to provide a quote over the phone. Most mechanic shops will say bring it here we take a look and give you a quote. Very reasonable price. Got back the vehicles after a few hours and I have no other issues. Very straightforward dealings. Highly recommend. read more

Best place to go for service. They performed coolant flush, trans axle fluid, and oil change on my Toyota Sienna. Big difference in how the van ran after that. Best part of it is, how affordable the price is. They are my go to shop from now on. read more

I had to get a bunch of work done to my 2015 Fusion and these guys blew my expectations out of the water. After getting quotes from other shops, these guys not only beat their prices but got the job done in half the time. Customer service was beyond expectations and these guys have earned a lifelong customer in me. I've been telling everyone about how positive an experience it was with this shop! I also had some concerns about my brakes, brought it in, and they told me that several of them looked at it and thought everything was fine. How rare it is to find an honest repair shop nowadays. 10/10 recommend, don't go anywhere else! read more

These guys are the best, price can't be beat and quick service times. I highly recommend them for everything. Super chill and nice guys all around. read more

Great service. Employees were very helpful. I went in for a valve cleaning/ media blast on a 2015 GTi and they had reasonable pricing and great customer service. I ended up having other issues with my car that the mechanic was able to diagnose and give me a rough estimate on. They answered all of my questions and gave me extra information. Great place will definitely be going there again for my head job read more

My son was busy at work and asked me to take his 2025 Hyundai with a damaged bottom panel to Mr. Auto SD for repair. They are so proficient; Hao started working right away. He was confident and knew exactly what he was doing, finishing the job in a short amount of time. They always do what I ask for without extra charges and don't try to charge for unnecessary services. I appreciated their honesty and competitive pricing, along with the excellent service from Steve who works at the front desk. Kudos also to the silent worker Huy! They demonstrate teamwork to get the job done in such a professional way! read more

My engine light was on. They scanned the code and they were so honest to tell me that repair would be still under extended warranty (while my general warranty had expired) and suggested me to go to the dealership. They also refilled the washer fluid. The best part is they did not charge me a buck for either task. Thanks for being so honest and generous! read more

I went in for an oil/filter change at a fair price and also end up getting new rear brake pads and rotors, also at a fair price. I was also in and out rather quickly. I feel we now have a good, reliable and honest auto service/repair shop to go to. read more

Love this shop! Better priced than all the others and uses OEM for almost everything. Love their quality and honesty. Steven is awesome.

My second time using MR Auto, this time for a failed rear brake caliper. Both times I've used them, they quoted a "worst case" price (that was very competitive), then the actual work came in well below the quote. I doubt this will happen every time going forward, but I have never received so much honesty before, during and after the work was done. The main difference is that MR Auto won't install parts that aren't needed, even if they are listed on the quote. In the case of my failed caliper, they were able to reuse the pads simply by sanding off some glazing caused by the failed caliper. I can't count the times my dealership service department replaced "marginal" parts "just to be safe". Now, the dealer may have a higher standard of performance, a greater aversion to risk, and a larger need to grab every dollar possible, but now that my car is older, I don't think the dealer can provide what I need. For example, dealers can't install rebuilt parts, only new, which is certainly overkill for things like brake calipers on an older car! I've decided MR Auto will get all the future work on my car. I'm finally done with shopping around! read more

I got a recommendation from a friend who had a great experience. Situation: my car was burning oil (not leaking which I think is bad), so I brought it here and they did an analysis and gave me their recommendations. I chose to get a new motor which was really the best option and the price was very fair. Solution: they ordered the parts, I put a down payment, and they finished the project much faster than the target as well. I am very happy with their service and my experience. I will recommend Mr Auto SD to anyone in need. Thank you Mr Auto SD read more

This morning, I was already in the parking lot of the dealership when I got the estimate to replace brake pads + rotors for my 2018 Corolla iM. Thanks to the fast response on Yelp, I left the dealership as fast as I could and headed straight to MR Auto SD. I was expecting to get all 4 sets of brake pads and rotors replaced, but it turned out I only need to change out the front sets. I am very happy with the service, how easy and pain free the process was, and it was all done with OEM parts. I will be sure to return for future maintenance and recommend this place to everyone. read more

It is not easy to find a good, honest technician and I cannot say enough good things about the team at MR Auto SD. I can be a picky customer and Steve and Hao are always friendly, helpful and accommodating. I've taken my 2010 VW GTI to them for a few relatively major repairs and each time they've given me a competitive price and completed the job quickly and without cutting corners. After the last repair I had some questions so I sent them an email. My questions were addressed promptly and professionally. Just great guys doing high quality work at a great price and running a top notch business. They've earned my loyalty and I highly recommend you give them a chance for all your maintenance and repair needs. read more
