I can't recommend Zoo Automotive enough! Today was my second time visiting them for a brake job…read moresince my SUV was shaking when braking. They called me letting me know my brake pads were fine and recommended not replacing them now and contacting my dealership to fix the rotors since my vehicle is under warranty still with my lease. Saved me hundreds of dollars and didn't even charge me for the inspection! First visit with them 2 years ago was to replace my car battery where they also saved me money! Thank you so much Zoo, you all are amazing and I will continue to recommend you to everyone! :)

I needed a rear main seal, and much more, along with a host of other issues. I finally brought it in, and they handled everything with incredible skill. Their mechanics are truly superior. While they might cost just a little more than some other shops, you absolutely get what you pay for here: peace of mind and quality work. The communication is great Loren called me almost every day to check in and give me status updates. She would walk me through other items that needed attention and provide a quote immediately, leaving the choice entirely up to me with zero pressure. My Tahoe came back to me absolutely perfect--everything fixed, including the minor issues I hadn't even listed. On top of that, they just finished work on my 2003 Camaro. They cleared the check engine light and finally fixed a complex front-end steering issue caused by a previous accident that other shops couldn't resolve. RAE Automotive are professionals who are polite and clearly know what they are doing. I have both my cars back, and they are both running perfectly. They are my mechanics for life and I will never switch!

My 2016 Ford F350 was displaying a message that read "Exhaust Filter Over Limit Service Now." When…read morethe truck tried to do the automatic regeneration, it was unable to clean the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The engine was also being throttled, so the performance was severely degraded. I had not previously brought any vehicles to MDS, but a friend told me about it, so I decided to give it a try. I dropped the truck off on a Wednesday so they could take a look at it the next day. On Thursday, Wayne called and told me the "cold side CAC pipe had failed, which resulted in a massive boost leak, which in turn plugged the DPF because of excessive soot." As a result of this type of failure, Wayne also recommended an oil & filter change, to which I agreed. After the failed pipe was replaced, a manual regeneration of the DPF was done. In addition to the aforementioned work, they also replaced the fuel filter and the air filter. The truck was ready to pickup on Friday. When I took it for a post-service test drive, everything was back to normal. Overall, I was very pleased with the service, and will be a regular customer for my future diesel service needs. The added bonus was that I didn't have to drive all the way down to the dealer service center in Kearny Mesa.
