Staff very friendly, honest, and accommodating with very reasonable prices too…read more I went in to swap out my exhaust on my MR2 and they did a flawless job and even waited for my parts to come in since it was on backorder. I am definitely taking all my cars here from now on for all my auto repair and maintenance needs. Thank you David, Lai, & team!!!

So rare to find an honorable repair shop!! Needed new brake pads and they were much less than what…read morethe dealer quoted. It's been a few months now and everything works great! They even explained what the noise was and saved me a few hundred saying I didn't need front pads yet. Now, my car broke down this past weekend. AAA guy was a ding dong who misdiagnosed the problem when jumping my car, and local mechanic tried to take advantage of his stupidity, which would have cost me over $1000. Called Phan's and Lai explained everything step by step, totally patient, professional, polite, and trustworthy. By some minor miracle my car started so I drove it directly to their shop after the phone call. David checked out my car and returned it to me saying it only needed a battery. I AM NEVER TAKING MY CAR ANYWHERE ELSE, and you shouldn't either!!!! No bells and whistles, small shop, but competent, quick, friendly, trustworthy! Choose this place over the dealer to save yourself a lot of money!

Yayayayayayayy !!! My car is working !!! Thank you Aaron for coming to my place and fixing it !!!…read more My car stopped turning on over the weekend and I was So Scared I'd need a new car well thanks to Awesome Aaron I do not .

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?

I cannot say enough good things about this repair shop and, especially, Francisco…read more My vehicle was originally stuck at the dealership service center with an open invoice that had to be paid before they would release it. When Francisco reviewed the invoice, he immediately spotted erroneous charges and argued on my behalf to have them corrected - without me even asking. I showed his email to several friends, and even they were shocked by how thorough and professional he was in pushing back. That alone earned my trust. Francisco personally picked up my vehicle, coordinated everything seamlessly, and had an entirely new engine installed within a week - which is incredible considering the scope of the work. To make matters even better, he later removed a charge from my estimate because the actual cost to him was less. Who does that? That level of honesty is rare. From start to finish, this shop demonstrated integrity, efficiency, and genuine customer advocacy. I never felt taken advantage of, rushed, or kept in the dark. Francisco treated my car - and my money - as if they were his own. If you're looking for a shop that is skilled, ethical, fast, and truly stands up for their customers, this is it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, and I will absolutely return for future work.

I was driving and my car randomly started clunking and shaking. I googled a nearby shop and found…read morethese guys. They were super helpful, worked quick, and didn't try to hustle me at all. Love the integrity! Its nice to know who you can trust. I'll for sure recommend this shop to others.

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 had an excellent experience at Precision Auto working with their service representative, Fyel…read more From start to finish, the communication was clear, honest, and professional. Fyel took the time to thoroughly inspect my Mercedes E43 and didn't just focus on the immediate issue--he also pointed out preventative maintenance items that could become major problems down the road if left unaddressed. What really stood out was how he explained everything in a way that was easy to understand without being pushy. The recommendations felt genuinely focused on protecting my car's performance and longevity, not just upselling. The work was done efficiently, and the quality was top-tier. If you're looking for a shop you can truly trust--especially with a performance vehicle like a Mercedes--I highly recommend Precision Auto and asking for Fyel. I'll definitely be coming back for future service.

Waited for my oil change today and it was very quick, roughly 30 minutes as it didn't seem busy. Service was affordable, and very nice, informative people.
