Went in for a quick oil change on my older vehicle. Customer service was great! The young man at the front desk was very friendly. The price of an oil change is standard, similar to other places. Would recommend. read more

Rolled in with a Groupon for a synthetic-blend oil change. Brian, the manager, checked the manufacturer's specs and let me know my car actually calls for full synthetic. Explained why full synthetic was better, and when I said I was watching my wallet, he gave me a solid discount that was better than the Groupon's full-synthetic price. Legend. Kept me updated, intro'd me to the owner (super nice guy), and had me in and out in no time. For a first visit, it felt weirdly like I'd been coming there for a while. Short wait, friendly vibe, and left feeling like my car (and wallet) were both taken care of. Came in based on reviews. Can confirm: not disappointed. Highly recommend and definitely coming back. read more

Excellent service and they go the extra mile. It's a busy location but it's worth the wait. Prices are reasonable, you are dealing with professionals and honest mechanics. I highly recommend this place. read more

Took my car to them for a coolant leak, work was done well and price was reasonable I would recommend this shop.

What a hidden gem. I had such a great experience getting my oil change! The customer service was excellent from start to finish. John was amazing -- he made the entire process quick, easy, and stress-free. He explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable while I waited. It's rare to find that level of professionalism and friendliness these days. I'll definitely be coming back for future services and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality work and great customer care. read more

Shocked to see this place has 4.5 stars . I am more than sure those are paid/fake reviews. I'm not sure if it was because I purchased an oil change service via Groupon. I'm so glad I was not by myself, it was my homegirl and I . We felt very uncomfortable. The guy who approached me (bald guy in the office not sure if he is the owner or not) was very rude, aggressive, and had a condescending tone in All our interactions. I didn't feel comfortable asking questions or letting him know concerns on my car after he dismissed me, not listening to what I would say.I won't even get into the handling of my car(from driving it into the station ramp). I sat outside to get out off the lobby as I couldn't review the paperwork I had asked for a copy off that he stated I will get once my work was complete. I felt uneasy the entire time they worked on my car and I still have that feeling. I came to save $$ but it honestly wasn't worth it. Somethings you will have to pay for and comfort, respect, and great customer service is one of them. Vibes and energy was off. Please do not go alone. read more

Very quick service, affordable deal and friendly. Quick appointment check-in. Brian has check-in for my car with alignment. He gives me quick review for what my car needs before and after. Give me quick test drive before leave the shop. I recommended this shop. read more

Bryan was awesome! They fixed what I had it towed in for and did not tell me I need all these other things like the dealership said. Fabulous pricing. They really care about you and not just the money.My mom actually referred them to me because she had a good experience. This is now our family auto repair center. We will be at back, hopefully later, not sooner. read more

I've been to this Helix auto care more than a few times for my car and as well as others. They always beat the price of any place I've looked at. I've compared them to many different shops and there prices are better or the same. Also with out appointment or anything they always try and squeeze me in. And get me fixed and out ASAP. There all really nice and helpful. Appreciate all of them. Thank you and will continue to come back. read more

An amazing auto shop. Owners and technicians and everyone there are very special people and a great team 4 years I have been coming here and am satisfied each time. Just changed my brakes and rotors a few months back and lately have been making funny squeaking noises. Brought it back in and they inspected and decided to replace my brakes and rotors again under warranty without any questions. Thank you gentlemen and continue with your success in your business and continue to stay humble as always. read more

This place is a total scam!!! Went for an oil change (no prior leaks at all ) but when I go to pick up my car, all of a sudden they want to show me a "small" leak they discovered and wanted to charge me approximately $400 to fix. The very next day after getting my oil changed here, I immediately noticed oil drops in my driveway. And surprisingly, I was sent text messages a few weeks later asking how's my vehicle running read more

Helix auto has been the best auto shop I have ever gone to. They always make me feel comfortable, well attended and most importantly have left my vehicles in mint condition. They make sure I understand everything about my vehicles and the prices, explaining everything thoroughly. I will not go to anyone else ever again! Been a customer since 2020. I trust no one else with my vehicles! I will forever be grateful! I love this family! Ps. I just go to see Sevan. Thank you Helix Auto!! read more

I had a quote from another auto repair and Brian managed to beat it by $200! I liked the way he listened to what I had to say. Even better, everything he said he would do, he did! Thanks so much! read more

Needed an oil change & always prefer my hard earned money go to a small business not some big chain. Sevan was professional and courteous. Helix Auto Center provided excellent service, & reasonable prices. I will be back. read more

Worst place to take your car. Puncture holes into things. They say they "did an oil change" it leaked out and they try to say it was my power steering. You can't see what there doing but I never had any problems with my vehicle till I went to them. read more

I am very happy to find this place. All stuff is really friendly, they do have fair prices, they work very fast and took my car right away for service. I had a problem with my tire light, it is appear on my screen all the time, so they finished alignment for me and reset the this tire indication without any additional charges. Very professional, highly recommended. read more

Brian and Iman are very wonderful people who did a good job on my car. Go check them out!

Update ! They never fixed the alignment and claimed it was my suspension! It's not my suspension !! . They ruin my alignment dramatically! It was worst after I left the shop the first time and on purpose to claim it's something else and I was to pay them 700 more if I want my car to drive straight!! Hahah I was going to go to my main mechanic to get it corrected but my alignment corrected on it own after a a month ! It drives straight now and tires look good ! It's been many months now ! I won't go to them ever again . read more

I have used these Guys many times always been great reasonable and dependable ! If you need older vehicles worked on or newer type hybrid worked on or even Body work I have had it done with them they treat you like family every time ...

These guys are wonderful. I called to make an appointment. They were so nice. Appointment for next morning. My car was done sooner than expected. Pricing was very reasonable. I will always go here. To top it off, one of the guys sent me a text the next day just to make sure everything was okay with my car and their service. read more

GOOD DEAL CAN BE HAD I purchased a discounted oil change through a coupon app. Often times when you use these coupons the place can treat you differently, but I did not experience that here. Included with the oil change is a quick inspection . Overall, it was a relaxed experience. If they find some service you need, they will give you a quote. It is nice to deal with a family owned business. They are very easy to talk to! read more

Best service in town thank you guys so much !! I took my Porsche there for service they were very honest and they do collision and paint insurance claims. read more

I had my oil changed and tires rotated here. Everyone was very friendly and attentive, service was fast too!

I found my new go to shop for maintenance. Extremely friendly, great pricing, quick but solid service, and zero up selling. They did a great job on the services I went there for which was: wheel alignment, oil change, and tire rotation. Highly recommend these guys! read more

Made an appointment for oil change and tire rotation. They were able to see me the same day and honored the groupon price! They had my car in and out, done within 45 mins! Quickest service I've ever had. Impressive! They even were able to change out my cabin air filter which they had to get ordered (didn't have mine in stock). I was super impressed by their professionalism, quickness in service, and very good pricing. I even had my husband get his car serviced there too! We will be returning to helix auto center! Keep up the good work guys. read more

Great and quick service. Was in and out with an oil change for my car in less than 20 minutes. read more

The team here has taken really great care of me and my Tesla. I brought my Tesla Model 3 in to swap my two rear tires since we are awaiting a new set of custom wheels. I consider myself to be a very detail oriented person and maybe even picky, especially when it comes to any work done to my car. When I brought my car in, I also had the tires I'd be replacing them with not knowing one tire had been left out in the box with the recent rain and the acoustic foam had absorbed a bit of water (I know, very dumb of me not to check prior to bringing them over and totally my fault). The team there kept trying to balance the wheel for about an hour...rebooting the system that measures the balance, adding and removing weights, and still no luck. Luckily I had an extra tire at home that I brought back for them to install...and just like that, problem was fixed! These guys were honest with their price and didn't want to change the price on me even after the issue that was completely my fault. I love supporting small business owners who are honest and these guys definitely have my future business. Although I don't have much service that is needed on my Tesla, I know I can trust these guys in case I do need them for brakes, wheels, tires etc. They even do some bodywork! I highly recommend this family owned and operated small business to anyone who needs any mechanical work on their vehicle. Thanks guys! read more

Used these guys multiple times and they delivered multiple times. Sevan is as honest as they come. They fixed my Cadillac and Acura without any problems so they can handle both domestic and foreign. Didn't have any issues after any of the repairs so I highly recommend them. read more

I've been coming here since finding them on Groupon. They are quick and best prices for full synthetic oil changes

Accommodating, professional, went above and beyond to get me back on the road. Highly recommend!

Brought my Tesla here and they took care of some body work in 15 mins. Super honest, reasonable prices, and nice guys. Would definitely recommend! read more

It's been more than 6 years I deal with this center. I drive an hour to bring my car because they are really good, honust, and smart. Resnable price. They fixed everything I need in my car. God bless you Remind and Sevan. I always like your survace. Thanks Helix auto center. read more

Been coming to helix auto center for more than 4 years now I feel like family very honest and reliable prices they are the best!

I just took my 2016 Honda in for a check up on a noise I got all of a sudden. They were sooo nice, polite, friendly, and professional. They are family-owned here in La Mesa. They were very thorough and took my car with me for a long test drive, but the car didn't do it again. You know how that goes. Duh!!! But if I need a mechanic again, I will not hesitate to visit Helix again. I think the main person is Steffon, and I was also helped by Ray and George. Just a great experience. And they can repair some dings I got in my bumper for a great price as well. Give them a try. I'm sure you will be pleased. :-) read more

Fast service. 45 min wait for an oil change, inspection, rotation. The guy in the front seems honest and reliable.
