Still my go to place for any automotive repair, fix, or oil change. I wanted to update my review to…read morereflect the fact that Lair and his son have been affable, honest, and helpful as they fix all the problems in my car. I have recommended friends and family to L&P but mostly because I know they will do good work. I know price and time are important factors when getting your car fixed and I can say that it has been satisfactory each time. The customer service and focus on attention is important. Lair puts a lot of his dedication and knowledge to work and his team is always helpful. It was about time to write an update as I changed cars and needed to replace front break pads and get an oil change. With pricing it is up front, and if you are ever uncertain just ask. I never had a moment where they charged more than needed to and actually they source parts quite quickly. If I need a quick diagnosis or check up they are always down to do that. I keep returning because of the service and of course because cars need the maintenance. It's a good sign that I've been going here since my last review.

Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Aaron was incredibly friendly and took the time to…read moreclearly explain what was going on with my car, even showing me the issue so I could understand it. Kassandra was also very welcoming and thoughtful, she even recommended a small bakery nearby if I wanted a comfortable place to relax while waiting. As a woman, it can sometimes be difficult to find a mechanic you feel comfortable with and can trust not to take advantage of you. This was absolutely the best place to go,I felt respected, informed, and completely at ease throughout the whole process. Overall, an AMAZING experience. I truly appreciate the great customer service!

Are you going to warranty issues that arise to the switching to an oil that would void a mfg…read morewarranty? I bet not! Higher viscosity leads to higher pressures which lead to seals leaking and failing. I'm really surprised you haven't researched this. How about the leaking oil filter a day after install? Seems like a sure way to get more money outta a customer once their engine gets starved of oil. How about the sloppy work with oil left all over my car? Lack of care and integrity. How about the scratches from resting my tires on the paint of my car? Lazy and inconsiderate. Pulled from the article that copied and pasted "Engine Design Changes: Newer Toyota engines are designed with tighter tolerances and specific lubrication needs that necessitate these thinner oils, such as OW-16 or OW-8." Exactly my 2019 Lexus ux250 is a newer Toyota engine if you weren't aware , so why are changing it?

Highly recommend for road trip prep!…read more This is an amazing place to get your vehicle inspected before a long road trip. I booked online, noted my concerns in the text box, and dropped my car off the next day. After checking in at the office, I walked Joey through my concerns and opted for a Post-Purchase Inspection. Joey sent over the findings quickly and gave me his honest, upfront opinion on what needed immediate attention before my trip versus what maintenance could wait until I reached my destination. He also provided a clear copy of the inspection quotes so there were no surprises. In the end, they completed the full inspection, replaced the car battery, and fixed a coolant leak for around $550+ (including taxes). I definitely recommend this shop! Pro-tip: Try to get there early in the day, as on-site parking and road traffic can get a bit hectic later on.

Bottom Line Upfront: Miramar Auto Repair is one of the best values of any auto shop in San Diego…read more Jason and Pedro were exceptional in taking care of me, and finding a solution to a very technical challenge. I brought in my Honda Ridgeline for an issue with my AC. Jason worked with me at the front-desk and went above and beyond to understand my issue and the troubleshooting I had already done. He explained to me CONCISELY what the feasible issue may be, and how they were going to approach a diagnosis. Jason was extremely knowledgeable, and followed up promptly to discuss the fix. Pedro was also exceptional. He found the issue (rodent-chewed wires) and repaired it perfectly. When I picked up my car, he was as excited as I was to have helped me. Before Miramar Auto, I took my truck to the Honda dealer, and they charged twice as much for a diagnosis, only to tell me that I would need a new compressor (incorrect diagnosis) and that it would cost twice as much as I ended up paying out the door at Miramar auto. I couldn't believe how easy Miramar Auto made it. To say that Jason, Pedro, and Miramar Auto are honest, fair, and made me feel taken care of... would be an understatement. They have rightfully earned another lifelong customer. Thank you Miramar Auto!

A special shoutout for consistent excellent customer service from Olivier and Fernando. I first visited Pacific in 2016 when my car broke down near Miramar on my way home. I had the car towed to them after looking them up and seeing a good rating, and haven't been disappointed since. From Santee, we've been having our vehicles regularly serviced there since then. Consistent staff/management, reliable and trustworthy service, and fair pricing has kept us coming back. We recently purchased two used vehicles from CarMax El Cajon (also recommended), and had Pacific Auto Service do thorough checks on them, and CarMax addressed the few things which were reported. We'll be having those vehicles serviced by Pacific Auto Service. Give them a try.

A little over Past 3pm, I still haven't got any call, until I am the one that call them to follow up, then they told me that they still can't figure what's really wrong and to continue diagnosing I have to pay $475. I was fuming, not only that they didn't give me a courtesy call about this, and I am the one that call to follow up, now they want to charge me more in order to continue the diagnose. As far as I'm concern, that's one way to rip off a customer. NOT RECOMMENDING THIS BUSINESS AT ALL.
