Just one car on work place.

Lady in front want super rude , she didn't even try to help , she claimed that they were super busy and had about 10 cars to work on when the mechanic was outside sitting on his phone.

Thank you for the excellent service!

Date of visit: April 18, 2020 I was due for an oil change, but my local Firestone in Mira Mesa had recently closed permanently. Prior to the closure, they'd recommended the Firestone location in Rancho Peñasquitos to have my headlight bulb replaced... so it was to this location once again that I went to this past Saturday. Due to the current pandemic, after dropping off my car, I couldn't wait in the lobby... so I spent some time getting some lunch at the nearby Jack In the Box and waiting outdoors. Once I got the call my car was ready, I was able to pick it up relatively quickly. So, why the three-star rating? Easy - the staff aren't quite as attentive or friendly as my previous location. Even before the pandemic, they were kind of gruff... in fact, when I'd arrived to pay for my oil change, several other people arrived inside the lobby - and we were all rushed out due to social distancing regulations (there was a customer already inside that was being helped). Understandable, yes... but there wasn't any signage outside explaining the policy, and when I helpfully commented that a sign explaining why the customers have to be called inside, the guy at the counter gruffly said, "Well, I'm only here by myself." Yes, this Firestone location is a tad on the smaller side (only four bays in the garage, meaning a smaller staff), but the level of professionalism there could stand to be worked on. It's a shame that this is now the closest Firestone location to me; at this point I'm actually considering going to the one off of Convoy for future oil changes and maintenance.

Don't come here, they will waist your time and try to rob you with unnecessary work. Employees are the worst.

Scripps Ranch

Went in over the weekend for a routine oil change and ended up having a few other maintenance items…read moredone to the truck. We usually go up to the Carmel Mt. location but decided to head over to Scripps Ranch since my son was working over that way and wanted to bring him some food. The staff and service was great! I had a middle brake light replaced and it wasn't easy but the guy was so nice and patient (I felt bad because it is tricky to get the bulb out, but he had no issue and said no problem at all!) My truck is a bit older so most of the services we got I felt were needed and would help me keep my truck longer. I have changed filters and a few things on my own in the past but this go round was easier to have them handle everything. Cost wise for most I do not think was bad. Only thing we passed on was a new battery. I was able to get at Costco for about $100 less. Usually we are in and out in 15 minutes but this go round took about 45 minutes to an hour with everything. Not bad. I did have a coupon for the oil change which saved a bit. They used to have a 20% off of services but I could not find this time (would have been nice since we spent over $600). Last time we went to CMR location and had stuff done on our other car they gave us the discount even though we did not have the coupon. Only issue here is they did not offer that. Both locations have been great and I would go back to Scripps location again if in the area for sure.

Following my service at Valvoline, my vehicle experienced issues related to the cooling system. I…read moresubsequently had the vehicle inspected by a certified independent mechanic at A+ Autocare on 9/25/2026. Upon examining the cooling system, the certified technician identified that the coolant expansion tank cap had been broken. Specifically, the mechanic noted that the damage was directly attributable to improper handling during service, stating that Valvoline "obviously broke it." No coolant issues were identified during the service, and no warning lights were present on the vehicle before the Valvoline service on 9/23/2026. Please note that the Valvoline receipt does not mention any coolant issue. A+ Autocare final evaluation: "We found the expansion tank cap broken in the expansion tank. At this time, the tank and cap need to be replaced for repair." Valvoline has offered zero evidence into not breaking the cap / not can they. No offer to reimburse me for the repairs. Very frustrated with the experience of going in for preventative maintenance and coming out with an issue that didn't exist prior to the service. Seeking damages to my car. Terrible experience.

Great service at the Carmel Mountain Valvoline location. I came here because of the reviews, and…read moreI'm glad I did. Chase, the assistant manager, helped me a lot. He was very knowledgeable, professional, humble, kind, and took the time to explain everything step by step. The whole team knew what they were doing, worked cleanly, and stayed well-coordinated throughout the service. They completed everything correctly, topped off the fluids, explained the process clearly, and the price was good. You can also go on the website and get a $15 discount coupon. Overall, I had a great experience and I don't see any issues. I would definitely recommend this location.

I went to get my oil changed like I have in the past because a gentleman there was so nice and…read moreinformative. But bcuz I needed service from my mechanic I got my last oil change w him before this one. As soon as I pulled up to the bay, the kid that was helping me seemed as though he was not having a good day. We all have them no biggy right? But he was rude from the beginning. I made sure to say nicely that I get full synthetic as I was not sure he would check my account. He went over to the computer and said yes it's right here. I said ok thank you and then left to go into the office and came back and told some other kid that mine was full synthetic and EVAC. I nicely said to him, no EVAC for me I would like it drained from the pan. He came back to the computer and said that my car was EVAC approved. Didn't even explain to me where that even came from when I did not approve it. I said ok that's fine but I would like it drained from the pan not EVAC as my mechanic advised me to have it done going forward. He looked at me and said... "then u should have ur mechanic do ur oil change" I was shocked. And he kept telling me it's what it says in the computer. Sadly I was already over the mileage for my oil change or I would have definitely left and made an appointment w my mechanic. But it didn't stop there. He never checked my fluids or my tires and someone else came to check my lights and blinkers but only from the front. But he made sure to come back and take my payment. Then I realized after pulling out of the bay pretty much on my own he never gave me my receipt. So I had to pull over next to the office to go in and ask for it. No one was in the office so I had to go into the bay to ask someone for it and he came back w a printed copy bcuz obviously the kid that started the process never printed it in the 1st place. It was a nice, convenient place to go w adults having customer service, respect and work ethic. But now it's just run w kids who are rude and no work ethic!

I've been coming to Mr Auto since last year and I'm very happy with their service and…read moreattentiveness. I came in for my 2007 Acura MDX. I was having issues where my car wouldn't start or the battery kept dying. Which didn't make sense since I would change for a new battery and it would keep happening. So when I was looking for a body shop to take care of my car, Mr Auto was one of the 3 locations I was looking at. The biggest reason I picked this location was because of the reviews and the response the owner or mechanics had for the customers. For the low star reviews, I liked how the responses to the customers were factually. Most reviews are based on emotion without any backing. So it was interesting to see the owner/ mechanics would bring up conversations, numbers and factual information. That told me they were attentive and knew what they were talking about. So I took my car there, it was a month long process because it was hard to figure out what was going on. It was an unusual situation. After coming back and forth for weeks, they were nice to have me keep my car there without extra charge because some situations happened only when I was driving and they couldn't trigger any of the issues so they thought it would be best to keep it. They only charged me the diagnosis price and finally after a month, we were able to figure out and it was such a simple small thing that cost little to nothing and completely fixed my issue. Since then, I come here for simple oil changes, because I can trust them. I know they take the time and don't rush. Actually during that month long situation, my battery died again and I was able to jump start it, but I had a smog check. Luckily I told the smog check place what happened and they didn't test it because it would fail since the car had to be driven for at least 50-80 miles. So I drove around San Diego and called Mr Auto and they told me to come in and they would double check my car to make sure it was good to go for the Smog check. Another extra step they did for me. It was awesome. They definitely make you feel safe and comfortable.

I say double check everything after they work on your car. Sometimes they forget to tighten screws…read moreand bolts and caps. It happened to me a few times already. I'm driving the car and I'm life is on the line. Can't trust them 100%. I mean it is a decent spot, nice guys, and a decent price but the work makes me worry. Maybe those guys works too much and forget about tighten things back up. Sorry for the review but I had to be honest. Hope it gets better.

Sorrento Valley, Miramar

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!
