Thank you for the excellent service!

Doug and Derek did an awesome job with my car. Very professional and responsive to all my questions. 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.

37x14.5R15 tires Don't let them BS, they fit.  That's who I drive to Escondido

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

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.

Two disappointing experiences with the owner, Michael. Customer service is clearly not a priority…read more I've been a Pure Motorsport customer for approximately 4+ years, and unfortunately, this is the second consecutive visit where I've been treated poorly by the owner, Michael. During my previous visit for an oil change, the quoted price changed from approximately $300 to $445, then $395. When I simply asked for clarification, Michael became defensive, suggested I take my R8 to Discount Tire or another shop, and began tossing paperwork across the reception counter toward me. I contacted Pure afterward about the experience rather than immediately posting a negative review. Fast-forward to October 6, 2026. I dropped off my R8 for its 40k-mile service, originally estimated to take 2-3 days. I acknowledge arriving approximately 90 minutes late. Pure called that afternoon to explain the car likely wouldn't be completed before the weekend and offered to let me pick it up or leave it. I chose to leave it and was told it should be ready Monday, October 12. Friday came, and I called to check. Sam confirmed Monday was still expected. Monday arrived, and again, no call from Pure. When I called, I was told another day or two was needed because other customers' vehicles were taking longer than expected. Thursday came with still no updates, so I called again. My R8 was finally completed Friday, October 16, nine business days after drop-off. Between the initial call and the completion call, every update required me to contact Pure. When I politely raised concerns about the delays and lack of communication, Michael placed the entire blame on my late arrival, despite his staff previously explaining that other jobs had caused scheduling delays. My issue wasn't simply how long the service took, but the complete lack of proactive communication. Additionally, Sam identified a possible oil pump leak and promised photos and a repair estimate. Neither was emailed as promised. I only received the estimate when I picked up the vehicle, without the requested photos. When I attempted to discuss these concerns in person, Michael repeatedly spoke over me and once again suggested I take my business elsewhere. This was almost identical to my previous experience with him. Pure's prices are competitive, but other qualified shops in San Diego offer similar pricing. After two experiences like this, I would rather take my R8 somewhere that values its customers and can handle reasonable questions without becoming defensive. It's disappointing that the owner himself has been the biggest reason and pattern of behavior that I've lost confidence in this business.
