    The nicest and most honest guys around!
    Kyle D.

    This is the absolute best place to go for anything car related. They have fixed multiple different cars for me with honest and fair prices. Excellent customer service. The value of this establishment is truly the best I will not go anywhere else even though I live in Oceanside preferred driving my car to these gentlemen. Thank you for your service and I can't give you enough appreciation.

    See all

    After three years of not being able to successfully have a leak fixed, my sister's friend told me…read morethat Schuyler has been her mechanic for 20 years and told me to take my Honda to him at DRIVE Autocare. Working with the people at DRIVE Autocare was a great experience from start to finish. I spoke to and worked with 3 different people in the N. Cedros office and all were very friendly, kind, professional and honest. I felt like they actually wanted my business. I dropped the car off, (they drove the car to their Hwy 101 garage), they shuttled me home, Paul called to let me know what needed to be repaired and told me the car would be ready the next day. The next day Paul called, sent a car to pick me up and let me know there is a 2-year warranty on the repairs/work that was done. The pricing is not cheap and it is not expensive; it is reasonable and fair for both parts and labor. In fact, Paul even suggested that I try to ask if the previous place would replace the oil pan gasket under warranty to cut the cost by 50% even though it would mean less money for DRIVE Autocare. This experience was a simple, easy, efficient process. I will be going back to DRIVE Autocare from now on for all my car maintenance and any needed repairs.

EDIT #1: This truck passed the smog check in December, 2024, for a title transfer. This shop failed the smog check because there were no CARB EO numbers, but in order for the truck to have passed last time, those numbers had to have been on the catalytic converters. If they couldn't find the numbers it was either because there was dirt obscuring them or because the numbers were positioned so that a mirror (which all shops have) could display them. Once we get the truck checked again, I'm going to file a complaint with the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. EDIT #2: Now that I think about it, this guy should never have run the smog check and charged us if he couldn't see CARB EO numbers. I'm filing a CBAR complaint right now.

    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!

    I came in for a Toyota hybrid brake calibration since I tripped ABS codes when doing a brake bleed…read moreat home. Wife and I communicated to Miramar Auto Repair first thing Monday to help us do the calibration. Plans changed so we rescheduled for Tuesday. That reschedule got us a different sales representative. He thought we needed a simple brake flush. This miscommunication lead to a 1-hour appointment with a $200+ bill for a service I already did to the car and the original problem wasn't solved. After some problem-solving and listening to the recorded phone call, we found where the miscommunication was. There's nothing better than a shop who listens to their customers, understands exactly what they need, and executes. Miramar Auto Repair did exactly that once we talked it out and removed the charge for the flush. I was out in 10 minutes after the calibration and am very happy with the end result. Thank you! I have found my trusted shop now.

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.

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?
