I couldn't recommend this place enough, my car collapsed on one side and they fixed it so quickly and kept me updated each step of the way. not only did they fix it but they let me know of other issues that were complete safety hazards and saved me from a possible bad accident! They do no over charge and always send estimates before starting work. I towed my car there when they were closed and I had a text message rigby away in the morning about my car and had it back within 2 days. Recommend this place to everyone ! read more

Needed an honest inspection - my friend recommended this spot. Here was my experience. Ambiance: Parking: There are a lot of car repair shops in this area so it can get pretty packed. Vibes: It's off to the side of Convoy. So it's busy but not really. There's a waiting area with wifi, water, and a tv if you just need to kill time. Customer Service: Young was great! He knew what he was talking about and helped me through the process TL;DR : 4.5 stars. Awesome! I went to get my car checked ($100~) and gave me an honest run down a a tutorial on things I can take care of myself. I appreciate my experience here as it informed me what to do with my car both for the short term and long term. Much love to Bao and the BT Autowrench team! #RepresentAZN Tips: * Come early! They may be quick with the service but this spot is no hidden gem. read more

My starter died in a parking lot. The AAA tow truck driver recommended that we tow the car to B.T. Auto Wrench. It was the best decision! We arrived at B.T. Auto Wrench when they were close to closing. They took my car in and they replaced the starter and and checked and filled all of the fluids. Bao, the manager, was so nice and kept me apprised all the way. They were so organized, and the price of the services was very economical! I would recommend B.T. Auto Wrench to anyone in need of a fantastic auto mechanic shop! read more

Highly recommend! read more

I recently reached out to Bao via his website, which was very easy to use and well made, due to my 03 Honda accord transmission slipping. Bao, the owner, provided an outstanding experience from start to finish. He promptly provided a quote, options to go about servicing the issue and delivered impeccable service at the best price around. Bao's honesty and understanding truly stood out. He didn't just fix the issue; he took the time to explain everything clearly and ensured I felt confident in the repair process. PLUS it did not take long at all for the repair.

If you're in the market for giving away your money this place is for you. However if you're not, I strongly recommend you go somewhere else. I took my car in less than a year ago for an AC issue where my car was only blowing out hot air. I was told after the diagnostic that I would need a new condenser and compressor and after a few other repairs I was down over $2000.00, but at least my car didn't feel like an oven. However after a few months I noticed my car only blew mildly cold air, no real AC and no Heater. As someone who works a shitty schedule I haven't had time to bring it in and when I finally did I was told it may be something completely different. The tech that helped me (who was really great (he wasn't there the first time.)) told me Nissan and infinity are known for having a actuator issues ("the valve that changes from hot to cold"). I asked why if this is a known fact why this wasn't assessed prior to charging me so much for the first repair and If in fact I actually needed the first one or if it was this all along. They told me they would need to check before giving me any definitive info. 3 hours later and I get a text saying it is in fact the actuator and would need that done. I opted from having the service, and when I arrived to pick up my car I was told nothing aside from "the keys are in the car but you're blocked in by a truck." Took me over 10 minutes to be able to leave. Funny thing is the actuator was replaced prior to going to them so not sure what's going on. Strongly recommend you go elsewhere. read more

B.T. Auto Wrench - Message - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

Super friendly staff! It was time for me to get my transmission and differential fluids changed. Price was in line with my expectations and was quicker than I anticipated.

I've been coming to B.T. Auto Wrench for a very long time. I recently experienced an above and beyond client treatment which prompted me to write a review. My Mercedes engine has been experiencing louder than normal noises and the driving experience has been poor. Bao took his time to take a look and identified that I needed to change my spark plugs due to a valve cover leak and my intake manifold gasket was cracked, I also needed to change my brakes, tires, and get an oil change. I went to other shops and the Mercedes dealer and they wanted to charge me an arm and a leg and my first unborn child! Jk, all jokes aside they wanted to charge me a significant amount of money. Bao is trust worthy and only recommended what I needed at the time and explained the valve cover replacement and tires can wait since I am a little strapped for cash. My vehicle is running extremely smooth after Bao's recommendations. I told him that we had a homeless person vandalize our vehicles at our work parking structure, the guy kicked in my fog lights. Bao had his technician fix it with no charge, now it is bolted on, which was a "ohhh by the way we fixed this for you for free" at the end of the transaction. This was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend bringing your vehicles to see Bao and his team. read more

Dropped off my vehicle at 7am before they opened and dropped my keys off at the drop box. Needed to install sparkplugs. Received a call at 10am that the vehicle is ready. I have always enjoyed coming to B.T Auto Wrench. They are friendly and perform great work. I received 4 estimates from different shops and B.T is always the best price. I would recommend them for any service. read more

I had a major transmission problem on a trip from Arizona to San Diego. The car wouldn't shift and would not go into gear. The manual transmission was noisy and grinding. Bao and his guys were able to look at it SAME DAY. like I drive it in and they got to it right away- unheard of. They texted me with an estimate that was less than any quotes I had gotten on the phone, aaaand he promised it in 2 days. The car was finished early and the price was reasonable. I can't say enough about the service I got here. He could have gouged me and he didn't. In the auto service world, that's crazy. Look at all these reviews. Mine is just a small addition. These guys are top notch and clean too. Big recommendation. read more

I was in search of an honest repair shop and I found it in B.T. Auto Wrench. I brought in my 4Runner with 70K miles and told Bau I thought I might need new brakes. He called me in an hour and said I still had 10k on them and said I should wait. I went ahead with the brake job but more importantly I've found an auto repaid shop that is managed with integrity. read more

Get here early!! Earlier the better. Very busy. I've only gotten oils changes and the price is the best in town! Nice guy at the counter read more

The service at BT Auto Repair and is very good and well organized. Bao is the best auto mechanic better now than he was at Save Auto. The prices are fairly good especially for an Oil Change and the service is AMAZING! read more

Had some cosmetic work done to my car. Bao's guy did an AMAZING Job!! Car looks brand new. I only hope I can do it justice by not ruining the fantastic work. Price for work performed was very practical. I was provided a loaner car for the remaining week after returning from a trip. No charge for the loaner car and no storage fees. Bao also took care of my oil change that was due. Been coming to him for years and originally came highly recommended for his honest feedback and customer care. So this review is long overdue. If you need routine maintenance, tires, brake work and now I can add exterior bodywork to that roster, this is the place you want taking care of your vehicle. John read more

I just moved to the area and went to yelp which is most helpful finding any service. BT had great reviews and I agree. I was treated well and spent less than expected for my oil change. Highly recommend BT read more

Believe the reviews for this place. My car was having issues starting. Being someone that used to work on cars, I was hesitant to bring it to a mechanic. After checking yelp, I found this place. Initially I called and Bao answered. I asked if I should make an appointment, but he said just to bring it in for an evaluation. I got there around 10:30 am. The process was pretty straight forward. Fill out a form and tell them what the issue is. When Bao tried to start the car, it wouldn't even turn over. Said it was a good thing that I broke down there. Bao said his team would look into it and text me any updates. They did indeed text me, with all of the updates and pricing. Very transparent. The text will also include an authorization form that you'll need to sign before they can do the work. My car was ready for pick around 4:30 pm. No hidden fees, no issues. My car was running as smooth as it's ever been. If you're in the area and having any car issues, then you have to give this place a call. You will not be disappointed. read more

I contacted B.T. on a Saturday morning to replace the alternator, Bao very quickly responded and fixed the car. The pricing is great and they are reliable.

I have been bringing my car to BT for routine maintenance and repairs ever since 2016. Bao and his team always do great work in a timely and efficient manner, at great prices. Thank you for nine (and counting) years of excellent service! read more

A super late review, but I intermittently think of how amazing the service here is every time I'm in Convoy but I always forget to leave a review. I called BT Auto Wrench inquiring about service to be done to my car, and Bao was able to squeeze me in the next day. He was quick, attentive, and him and his techs were able to pinpoint and fix the problem overnight. I also was able to get an oil change - this was very nice of them as I only called for the car problem but they were so kind and accommodating. An honest business. Fair and competitive pricing. This is probably the only place I'll be coming back to for services. read more

Bao is a very nice and honest mechanic who only recommends what you need. Him and his team did an excellent job with my maintenance car service and repairing my fuel cap door. Will definitely be going to him again! read more

Great service. Price is reasonable. Bao is very accommodating and honest. Since our friend recommended Bao to us, we've been going here for car maintenance and other issues even we moved to Fallbrook we still go here. read more

My dad who is an auto mechanic recommended me to BT Auto Wrench and takes all of our family's cars here. The owner, Bao, does good honest work. His pricing is transparent and extremely competitive. He often runs promotional ads in local mailers, but even if you don't have or mention that specific coupon, he will still quote that as his price. He doesn't try to upcharge like what I've experienced with some other auto shops around the area. He also has the best price for Smog Checks. Last I checked, no appointments and walk ins only. But you can also call ahead to check if his queue is already full. read more

Quick and less expensive for a smog check on an out of state car. They were right on time and polite. This station runs a very clean shop. read more

They surprised me because they took it in and fixed it within 30 minutes! Bao was super nice and helpful too! I will definitely come back for any car troubles! read more

Bao and the team at B.T. Auto Wrench are simply the BEST. Seriously. How's the old adage go? You can only have two of the following three characteristics: Quality, Speed, or Cost. While this might be the case the majority of the time, you can indeed have all three when you service your car here. Add trustworthy and friendly to the list of positive attributes too :) Over the past few years, we've taken multiple cars here for both routine maintenance as well as more significant services, and am happy to report that we have had nothing but pleasant experiences. Whether it's a routine synthetic oil change (~$50) or brake service, you can expect outstanding service. Extremely professional, high quality, and extremely reasonably priced service. Our main vehicle has over 100,000 miles on the odometer and still runs incredibly thanks to B.T. Auto Wrench. We will continue choosing them for a long time to come and HIGHLY recommend it for any of your automotive service needs. Thanks, Bao and team! read more

Had to get a regular maintenance check up for my ILX, it was a B124 check. Also asked Bao if they could do a full aftermarket brake kit installation on front and rear and he said they could. Got everything done within 4 hours and for a good price, which was amazing. Love the team at B.T. Auto Wrench and have been recommending them to anyone who needs any OEM maintenance repairs! read more
