I had a great experience with Woolf's. My Hyundai Accent had been repeatedly stalling, including while driving on the freeway. I brought the car to Woolf's, and within just a few hours they diagnosed the problem. They found an intermittent loss of signal from the crankshaft position sensor, and and replaced the sensor. It has now been two weeks since the repair, and the car has not stalled once. What impressed me most was that they focused on finding the actual cause of the problem instead of immediately recommending an expensive repair. I would absolutely recommend Woolf's, especially if you want an honest second opinion and a shop that actually takes the time to diagnose the problem before recommending expense repairs. read more

Mike is an amazing, hardworking and honest mechanic. We appreciate all 20 years of his quality service.

This is where you find the best car service out there, everyone is really kind and helpful and gives you a good value based on the service, they really do a good job here performing every service and try to not keep you waiting long. I only wish it were closer so that I could come here whenever my car had an issue but when I can refer it, I'd refer it this place for anyone and everyone. read more

Great experience as a first time customer. Did need to schedule an appointment about 3 weeks out, but if you've got an emergency and a job that isn't too huge.. I bet this crew would take care of you swiftly and send you on your way. I had the pleasure of working with Mike and Steve and both were friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly... honest. Wolf's didn't recommend some of the items a local competitor was hoping to make a buck off. They considered safety and need and didn't try to exploit my lack of expertise in the area. I left with a bill that could easily have been twice the amount or much more. What a brilliant business strategy (finding an honest mechanic can be a godsend) and my family will be customers as long as we live in the area and as long as they'll have us. 5/5 great overall experience 5/5 good and reasonable pricing 5/5 service with a read more

Over the years I have visited Wolf, I only have great experience. I have always entrusted several services to this Wolf's skilled mechanics, including fixing my air conditioning, headlights, and indicator light, as well as numerous oil changes. Each experience has been exceptional. I would suggest to take prior appoibtment tonavoid lengthy wait. With appointment, they always managed to work me in quickly. Their promptness and efficiency are commendable. Owner Mike always impress me with his clear communication about the problems and solutions. They went above and beyond to locate cheaper parts and quality work. Overall, it's been a great experience every time, and their dedication to providing excellent service is evident. I Highly recommended this place. read more

Honest and direct. Great value and strive to keep you informed Mike and Grant show you how year after year great costumer service can build loyalty read more

Grant and Mike are amazing resources for advice on all our vehicles! We enjoy working with the entire team at Wolf's!

I always have exceptional service from Wolf's! I brought my Volvo in a few months ago to Mike, and he was super friendly & professional, explaining things in detail about my car which you only know at a level of true experience in the field. I then brought it back for a major repair on my AC Blower Motor, and worked with Steve- just as amazing of an experience than with Mike! Their quote saved me over $900 when compared with another foreign car mechanic in Kearny Mesa- and they did it faster & with no diagnosis fees! In fact, I saved so much with them, that I opted to add in some regular maintenance services I needed done as well. Overall, I highly recommend Wolf's- and it's well worth the wait when booking an appointment to know you're going to be taken care of in an honest & professional manner. Thank you to the Wolf's team for such a great experience! read more

I can't express enough how fantastic Wolf's shop is. Their team is incredibly skilled, honest, and reliable, and their prices are fair. I want to extend my gratitude to Mike, Grant, and Zack for going above and beyond to help me with an electrical problem that was preventing me from passing the smog test. There were no visible indicators of an issue--no check engine light, no error codes--so they patiently troubleshot until they finally pinpointed the issue. Incredible work! Thanks again! read more

Thank you, Mike and team at Wolf's! I have not taken my car to Wolf's in years because I had a prepaid service package at the dealer that made all my service free for the last 6 years. That has now run out. And I'm back as a loyal Wolf's customer! I needed my 12V battery replaced in my Audi A3 etron and the dealer quoted me $1116 to replace it. They said the battery would be $518 and 2 hrs of labor would be $558 and then $40 for tax. I declined the service and called Mike. He said no problem, he would buy the battery from Audi for the same price but charge way less for the labor. I had the battery replaced today and was shocked that it was only $510. I said, "What about the labor?" Mike said it was included. I said the battery was $500+? He said it was actually only $325 when he got it at Audi today. I can't believe they tried to upcharge me by $193 for the same battery! Mike got it for $325 then it was only $160 in labor and about $25 in tax. I'm so shocked how he saved me over $600! It shows how shady the dealers are and how honesty and authenticity go a long way. read more

After a long, exhausting meticulous search for a honest, ethical, reliable, fair and reasonable priced, competent, experienced... independent car repair shop for my Audi German car, my friend and I discovered Wolf's Foreign Car Service. Owning my first Audi German luxury car, I knew I needed to have it serviced and maintained properly for the best performance and longevity. So I had to find the "right" repair shop and not just "any" repair shop. As a first time customer to Wolf's Foreign Car Service, I was immediately impressed with how well I was treated on my very first inquiry phone call with the owner, Mike Senn. Mike patiently and humorously explained and answered all my questions and concerns about his business and how he would personally take good care of my Audi car. I am very careful who I trust my new Audi German luxury car to service. I visited Wolf's to do my "due diligence" inspection prior to making an appt. After meeting Mike and actually seeing Wolf's repair shop, I was so satisfied to immediately schedule an appt. for my Audi. Although it took 3 weeks to get my appt. is actually a good thing as this sign of thriving car repair business with many happy customers. Mike Senn and his entire staff provided exceptional service on my 2024 Audi. They were all very polite, prompt, professional and efficient. Mike was honest, ethical, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, experienced with a great sense of humor explaining how he would service my Audi then gave me an honest repair estimate so I would know in advance the price. Mike performed the 20,000 mile service maintenance on my Audi and a major service maintenance on my friend's Audi as well. We were both very happy with their parts, labor and service work plus very fair and reasonable prices. Mike was totally honest, ethical and trustworthy throughout the entire service and repair process. He explained and showed me what needed to be repaired and why so I would understand any parts and labor costs. He only performed service that was necessary and required without up-selling or sales pressure to charge more money. In the auto repair business, this is very rare and a most pleasant surprise given how other auto repair shops operate, especially car dealerships. My Audi was completely done under 2 hours and the bill was even lower than the original estimate! Win-win for everyone!! Also my bill was at least 50-70% lower than Audi San Diego dealership price! The business has a comfortable customer waiting room with a restroom and strong Wi-Fi internet to go online for business or pleasure while waiting for your car to be serviced. I shall return to Mike with my Audi for any and all future service and repair! I highly recommend Mike Senn and Wolf's Foreign Car Service to my family, friends or anyone needing service on their vehicle. Kudos to Mike, his entire staff at Wolf's Foreign Car Service for "spot on" exceptional customer service plus fair and reasonable prices for expert service and repair work. read more

I went to Wolf's after a few months of hearing a knocking sound from the front-bottom of my car. Before coming here, I had been going to a dealership since my parents have always done that. The dealer told me that the entire shaft of my car had to be replaced and that was what was causing the knocking sound, they quoted me $1900. Insane! On top of that, they took three days to just diagnose the car after I dropped it off and were asking for one week to fix the issue itself (which wasn't even the issue mind you). I then took the liberty to scout out an independent shop and I am so glad that I did and found Wolf's. I dropped my car off at 7:30AM on a weekday and got the call that it was fixed around 1PM, this was so shocking in the best way. When I came back to pick my car up, Mike was super kind to walk me through the issue and even brought me to the back to explain the parts that needed replacing and why. The kicker was it only cost $270 and the knocking sound never came back. As a young woman in her early 20's, I've always been super nervous about getting my car serviced because I know I could be taken advantage of easily without even knowing it. I don't think Mike understands how much it meant when he clearly and respectfully explained the issue with my car. I usually am talked to like I don't know anything and have even been chuckled at for asking silly questions at the dealerships - but I didn't feel an ounce of that at Wolf's. I will definitely be trusting Wolf's with all of my car troubles in the future. read more

Wolf's is honestly the best! I've taken my car here for its 10-, 20-, and 30,000 mile services. Each time, I get nervous on how much I'd need to pay based on Mercedes's recommendation for each step of service. However, I've come out of Wolf's relieved each time as they are honest about what car does or does not need. I don't have to prepare myself as I used to before when I would go into the dealership for services. The place itself is small but there's a giant sign so you can't miss it. Usually I have my husband come with me so he can just take me back home or you can also just Uber back home or wherever you need to go. I don't think they offer uber/transfer services though I've never asked, so plan accordingly. When your car is in service, keep your phone with you since they call you for questions or updates. I really appreciate this so I know what to expect when I pick up my car. Also, call far in advanced since they get booked up fast! All in all, the owner Mike and his crew are excellent at what they do and I will continue to be a customer here! Highly recommend! read more

I wished I lived closer to this place, and didn't have to move further away and get a new spot. Mike will treat you right, and won't overcharge at all. He's the most honest mechanic/owner I've interacted with. Cherish this master euro mechanic! read more

Thank you Mike, love the friendliness. trustworthy and has the experience. Brought my car in for an oil change same day my engine light turned on brought it back they connected it to the computer as thy were closing. I brought it back another day and they fixed the problem! read more

We are very happy with the excellent service that Wolf's Foreign Car Service provides. They are great to deal with. Fair and honest pricing. They are very responsive to sudden service needs. And we couldn't be happier with the service and repairs they provide and the overall excellent experience. We highly recommend this business! read more

These guys had great customer service. However, I'm not going back to them. First, they are very busy and are booked 2 weeks out. So, I don't think they will miss my business. Clearly, they've gained a lot of trust from others. My struggle is their assessment, recommendation, and my car getting towed after the work they've done. Even after the tow, I ended up paying over $200 to get my car in working order to take to another mechanic. It may be due to how busy they are, they only have so much time to assess my car and make the safest recommendation for me (to prevent any liability on their part). That recommendation seemed to be the most expensive option. I would have preferred a more extensive inspection that not only reinforces their reasoning behind their recommendation, but they can offer a game plan on how to address these expensive repairs. I won't point faults of my car breaking down on them as I know my car has a lot of miles. However, I would have preferred them to replace older parts to reduce the risk of car troubles (which ended up happening). Maybe the stars didn't align well with these guys. Maybe my car is too old and needs more TLC from a mechanic who has more time. Either way, I'm sad to say I won't see them again. They were nice, very helpful, and gave a great amount of context on how some key components of an engine work. I appreciate their time. read more

Easy to work with. Haven't had any complaints. Even took neighbors car there. Great service.

Mike and the team at Wolf's have been outstanding. They provide high quality service and repairs. They are, by far, the fairest and most reasonable auto shop that I have ever had the pleasure of using. I can highly recommend using Wolf's for any type of service you may need. read more

Good service and good price. Started with good front desk service. The mechanic took a picture of the issue once they found it. They gave me a quote and on the end they the price didn't change. The price I paid was lower then estimated price my AI. read more

My new mechanic. Had a biz I went to for 25 years. The owner was no longer on site. Mike, the owner of Wolf's, was not only on site, but he, was honest, quick, friendly - Mike you have a new loyal customer!!Thanks Mike! read more

Wolf's is the best! I'm very apprehensive about the honestly of auto mechanics in general. As I'm sure most people are. I lost all faith in Summit Subaru dealership service. They told me I needed extensive work and I took it here for a second opinion. Mike assured me this wasn't the case and saved me thousands. Also, Wolf's did the 60k service on my WRX for a way more fair cost than what the dealership wanted and my car runs like a charm! Thanks Mike and his son and all the guys there at Wolf's! read more

This place is not that great. I hired them for an oil change and to fix an issue that felt like something with the exhaust, that was causing it to make a lot of noise. I had to lead them to the issue, and they still couldn't find it. I asked if they even looked and then they put it on the rack and found the hole in the muffler. They said they cant fix it and recommended a muffler shop. They charged me $288 for an oil change and to reluctantly investigate my vehicle, only to tell me what I already know and not fix the issue. When I left, I noticed two of my headlights and running lights were out. They are not thorough at all and hardly care about their customers vehicles or their safety. Avoid this place. read more

Wolf's is an HONEST and qualified repair service working on foreign cars. I brought in my low mileage 2017 Subaru Forester to have the brakes and fluids checked and after an hour's effort they charged me NOTHING because it needed nothing. Mike is great. I will go back when I DO need service! read more

Brought in my 2007 Honda Civic to get some maintenance done recently. Grant took me in short notice and got my car serviced within 2 days. Even though I live near Miramar road, the epicenter of car repair shops I'll always come down to convoy to get my car serviced by Wolf's! They are the most reliable, honest, and best mechanics in San Diego and I won't be taking my car anywhere else! read more

Wolf's Foreign Car Service...a shop you can trust! I brought my car to Wolf's Foreign Car Service with two issues. My brakes were squeaking a bit and there was fluid leaking onto my garage floor (I thought it was oil). Within a couple hours, I received a call from Grant that the brakes are fine...I likely have 15K miles left on them and the fluid is actually transmission fluid and they suggested another shop that specializes in transmissions. He told me exactly where it was leaking from. About a month ago, I had a new transmission installed so I called that shop who said they could pick up the car from Wolf's the following day. Grant said it was no problem keeping the car with him overnight. Wolf's didn't charge me anything...zero...even though they took the time to inspect my car and tell me the issue. They could have easily told me about some work that needed to be performed and I wouldn't have known the difference. That's honesty and integrity!! But it gets better. My car was picked up by the transmission shop and the leak was fixed...and Michael (Wolf's owner) had them bring my car back to his shop (Wolf's)...they put it on the lift and ran the car for a bit to confirm the leak had been repaired. Again...no charge. Other service shops should take lessons from Wolf's. Honesty and integrity is an investment that pays future dividends. I'll only take my cars to Wolf's from now on. Thanks Grant and Michael! read more

Great team, diagnosed issue and quickly completed needed repairs at a fair price. Thank you.

I was buying a new used vehicle for the first time and I asked Mike for some advice ( which I've done often over the past ten years!!) he assured me that I could bring any vehicle to him to check out before I bought it . I went to pacific Honda and wolfs was right across the street . I told the sales guy if Mike says it's a great car then I'll buy it!!! Well it got Mikes seal of approval and I bought the car !!!! Did I mention I didn't have an appointment but he squeezed me in . Just the kind of guy he is!!! Love him and everyone who works for him !! I could go on and on but you get the idea. He's the best read more

The check engine light on my Mazda 3 came on. I was really worried about what it might be. I read all the great reviews and decided to give Mike a call. I am so glad I did. I felt like he was very honest explaining to me how he was trouble shooting and giving me different options. I was able to pick up my car the next day. I ended up paying a fraction of what I budgeted. Bonus: he didn't charge me for the valve cover gasket that broke while they were replacing a part on it. Overall super happy with how Mike treated me and will be coming back. Thanks Mike! read more

We bought a used car from Shift.com and decided to take it into Wolf's for a pre-purchase inspection during the one week grace period. Mike helped us out in a very timely manner and was extremely understanding of the limited timeline. His thorough inspection detected an issue with the transmission, which he referred us to a specialist for. The service at Wolf's was impeccable. They were honest, communicative, efficient, everything I could ever ask for in a car service. I will definitely be a customer for life! read more

Excellent service and reasonable prices, highly recommend if you have German made vehicles . . .

Great service. Honest. Went the extra mile for me. Best repair shop I have ever been to & I have been to many dozens throughout Calif. I was thoroughly impressed. read more

This is our go to spot for all of our car services. Making an appointment can take more than a week or two but you know it's a good place if it's busy! They are honest! read more

Mike the owner is the most knowledgeable mechanic I ever met (And I met lots of them) this guy is pure genius. Don't waste your time and energy having other mechanics guess what the problem is. Mike has a computer brain that can identify problems with your car in a matter of minutes. I took one of my cars (WV) to 3 other mechanics, and none of them knew what the problem was with my car. Mike was the only one to know exactly what the problem was and fixed it within a day. If you love yourself and your car, head over to Wolf's Foreign Car Services Inc. Don't even think of looking elsewhere. read more

This spot is often booked out weeks ahead. If you're lucky enough to plan ahead come here for repairs. Mike is one of the last honest mechanics left in the business. He diagnosed an issue regarding my SUV that the dealer said they could not figure out. That's sad because the dealer is corporate and has more fancy tech and machines. Mike is an old school mechanic and will take the time to figure out what is wrong with your car. In my case he realized it was the starter and a few days later installed a top of the line starter at a price that was way more than fair compared to a dealer price (I checked the price at the dealer btw). My SUV is back and running without issue! read more

The most honest dealership have ever been to. Super friendly snd great customer service.

I took my 2009 Volvo with 150,00 miles here for service I could hear the timing belt squealing and it was way overdue for replacement. The ABS light was lit. According to the drivers' manual I needed new spark plugs too. I had a routine service and needed new brakes all around. Maybe I should have asked more questions on this one but the brake pedal was very mushy. Mike the owner and I had a discussion about what I absolutely needed to be safe. We decided i didn't need a new ABS module because it never snows here and the roads are dry most of the time and I avoid driving when it does rain . The car was running fine so I opted not to have new spark plugs now. What could have been a mega repair bill for an old car was reduced without compromising safety This was my first visit here but probably not my last read more

I now understand why this place is rated almost 5 stars. The whole process was super smooth and they were super nice and on it. So refreshing compared to the money greedy dealership repair shops nearby. Highly recommend read more

Mike and his crew of mechanics are the best in town. Very honest and forthright never leave you hanging.

Wolf's is the best! Trustworthy, experienced and honest. Had brought my BMW with pretty low milage into the BMW dealership to get an oil change, technician flagged a leaking rear strut, and wanted to charge $300 for just a diagnosis to see what the deal is. Basically $300 for lifting the car up, and potentially taking the wheels off. Keep in mind they had to lift the car up to change the oil anyways and the struts are exposed. Called Mike at Wolf's, on the phone he was "shocked" (pun intended) that I had a strut leak at a low mileage. So he had me bring the car into the shop w/o having to make an appointment, and took a look at it right away. 3 minutes later, he concluded that beyond some brake dust, there's nothing wrong with it. Saved me $300, and potentially a unnecessary $1,700 strut replacement. Will be going to Wolf's for all my maintenance and repairs going forward. read more
