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!

I go back in to assist my car and it won't start now!!! My battery was corroded and they said it was bad... i don't have much income right now but they convinced me to do it. Now I'm hoping they'll help me. I'll give 1 star until it's fixed. I'm hopeful. +++ Sylvia and Mario ( and George) we're awesome today. I got a new battery. I really needed it!

I actually timed them out of curiosity they advertise a 15-minute oil change, and mine took about 20 minutes, which is still super quick in my book! What I really appreciated was how respectful and straightforward the staff were. They mentioned a few optional services, but when I said no, they didn't push or try to upsell me that kind of respect goes a long way. Thanks to the crew here for the speedy service and professionalism. I'll definitely be back for my next oil change!

I'm sure with an appointment, the service times would have been much faster but for a last minute request, they were able to knock it out in 3-4 hours! Luckily it wasn't anything serious so the total bill ended up around $90. The workers are kind of gruff so if you're expecting really friendly and welcoming vibes, you won't find it here...at least not what I experienced. I'm just glad they were able to fix the issue and they weren't rude and impolite about it. Thanks for the repairs!

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.

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.

Small scratch on the side of the car that won't buff out. (I noticed the new scratch because I just wiped down my whole car and it wasn't there before) Drops of fluid from the oil change running down the side of my car. Messy and borderline unacceptable. I regret coming by here. $123. I truly regret the 20$ tip I gave. Yea, not coming back. Get it together fam.

I had a great experience at 1 Way Auto Clinic. I originally went in for a simple oil change, but…read morethe team went above and beyond. They took the time to inspect my vehicle and recommended replacing the air and engine filters, actually showing me the old ones so I could see the wear for myself. I really appreciated the transparency -- no pressure, just honest advice. They also suggested a tire rotation to help extend the life of my tires, which made sense. Everything was done efficiently, and the pricing was very reasonable for the quality of service. It's refreshing to find an auto shop that's trustworthy, thorough, and fairly priced. Definitely a more personable experience than "Instant" oil change next door at Valvoline.

They are honest brokers and will not suggest any work that doesn't make sense or push for something just to make a buck. They've been so good to me that now my partner goes as well. They were able to handle 2 emergency issues where we could not drive our cars if they didn't fix it last minute. They understand and do what they can! Plus the costs are always within the general expected range for repairs without paying significantly more at the dealer. This is exactly what we need so we keep coming back!

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?
