After years of looking for a mechanic and only taking my Subaru to the dealership for all repairs…read moreor maintenance over the life of the car (8 years), I decided to take a chance here. I had a great experience with Alex at Value Auto Repair. I originally reached out through Yelp, and he was responsive and answered all of my questions. His pricing was significantly better than what the dealership quoted me, but what really stood out wasn't just the price--it was his honesty. I came in with a humming noise that I believed was a bad wheel bearing but was unsure. Alex was upfront from the beginning after making the same diagnosis and even encouraged me to get quotes from other mechanics if it made me feel more comfortable so I could make sure I was getting a fair deal. That kind of confidence and transparency is hard to find. When I arrived, he was able to get my car in within about 30 minutes to diagnose it. While the part was being delivered, I went to lunch, and once I came back, he had the wheel bearing replaced in about 45 minutes. Before I left, he took the time to show me both the old and new wheel bearings, explaining how they worked and letting me hear and feel the difference. I really appreciated him taking the time to educate me instead of just handing me a bill. One thing I noticed while I was waiting was how many customers came in who clearly knew Alex. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to see him, several appeared to be repeat customers, and there was an obvious level of trust between them. After my own experience, I completely understand why. Alex also has a great sense of humor, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Most importantly, the humming noise is completely gone, and my car drives perfectly again. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable mechanic who charges fair prices and genuinely cares about his customers, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex and Value Auto Repair. I know I'll definitely be back.

I am not an expert but i think that the extra foam should have been placed under the rounded foam so you couldn't see the division of the foam it looks terrible and they didn't put extra foam on the third I guess I am going to have to fix them please don't waste your money going to leyvas there are much better shops in Tijuana .

I was referred by a friend to check this place out! I recently purchased an Audi etron and had my…read morefront window replaced prior to buying the car. After having the car for a little over a month and living here in San Diego it's been hot lately but there was a random day that it rained. We that said I turned on my wipers and they did not work. Long story short Audi was telling because it's passed 30 days of purchasing my car I did not have coverage guantee for that anymore. Which led me to coming here! Memo was very straight forward and when I explained my situation he knew it was going to be somewhat of an easy fix! Well after leaving my car upon my return, I come to find out the defuse just needed to be reset. Although I didn't really get any service done here, I appreciate the crew for looking at my car and realizing it was an easy fix! Moving forward I will definitely come back for any future services. And thank you for taking the time to evaluate my car!

She transferred me, and the guy I spoke with, Rick I think his name was, wasn't very friendly at all, and didn't seem like he wanted my business, so I trusted my gut and didn't book the appointment.

I always appreciated how they treated me when I came in - very professional and never condescending. On another note, when my son's car finally gave up the ghost, they allowed him to keep it there for a short time. I had to go in the other day to meet with the Cash for Cars guy and I am so grateful to this sweet, young lady named Kayla at John's who deserves a big shout out. First of all, it was hot, and she welcomed us in to this wonderfully air conditioned room, offering sodas, water or coffee as though we actual customers. Then she offered to help get stuff out of the car, brought the dealer in to us and continued to be helpful and kind. A really nice man, Brian came out of his office and offered a form for those who don't have the actual Pink Slip, which I discovered we didn't. At one point, the dealer came in shaking his head saying "no deal" because he couldn't see the VIN # on the windshield alluding that it had been scraped off and didn't match thr door VIN. He then promptly left. Kayla, having heard that he couldn't see the VIN, promptly ran back out to the car and discovered it was covered up by a Soapy Joe's sticker. She then ran back out to where his truck was parked to let him know. In the end, we still didn't get it sold bc we couldn't find the actual Pink Slip (which I told him about when he first got there), and he apparently didn't want to bother with the form. I felt like a spectacle in their office but everyone was so friendly and positive and helpful toward us that it made me feel ok. I shouldn't have been surprised because they have always been this way. This is how the world should be! This is how we should treat one another. I felt so grateful and I will be taking in a plate of something special for them as a result. On a.side and final note of observation, I overheard one of the other girls answer the phone and was so impressed with her professionalism and kindness to the caller. I bring it up because it means a lot to know you are being spoken to with dignity and kindness. Anywho, thank you John's and thank you Kayla for making my day just a little more special!!
