If I could give this mechanic zero stars I would. I went in to get my knock sensor fixed - and on my way home from getting that fixed at Karoomi's (not even 2 miles away and not on the freeway), my car caught on fire and was eventually declared totaled. I'm not sure what they did - but I'm pretty sure it directly impacted my car catching on fire. Thank God the kids weren't in the car with me. As soon as I got out of the car (after seeing black smoke billowing out of the hood), the doors locked. I would have been trapped along with any kids in car seats. It could have been so much worse. Not only that, but we pursued legal action and discovered that the shop had a lapse in insurance coverage at the time that my car was serviced. Why did they have a lapse of coverage? Because they didn't meet safety standards. So not only did we have to buy a new car in an awful market for car shopping - but we weren't able to be compensated for the damages and trauma that we experienced as a result of what should have been a simple fix. Do. Not. Bring. Your. Car. Here. read more

I was on the 52 East when my low tire pressure light came on. I got off the next exit, Magnolia, and saw Karoomi's. I was met by George and he was so nice and friendly. He pulled my car into the bay, checked the tires, refilled the one that was low and didn't charge me. I was really nervous as I had to drive back to Rancho Bernardo and he assured me I was good to go. I really appreciated his kindness. read more

These are the guys to go to! They'll take good care of you! Went for a diagnosis, found out I had about 5 different problems and it would have been an estimated $1300 for parts and labor anywhere else. These guys, especially Oliver, took care of us and had us passing smog out the door the next day for way lower than anyone else was willing to do it for. Hard work and honesty radiates all over this place, 100/10 times I recommend these guys, they put the humanity first. read more

I love this place! Very kind, very professional, clean, and polite!!I love bringing my car to them for the best service!

Nice people and good service every time I visit for maintenance or oil change or changing tires or alignment

Excellent service and next door smog service very efficient as well. I had a tow truck driver damage my car while dropping off another vehicle in their lot, I mistook the driver as a mechanic technician, and unfortunately left an inaccurate review. The owner promptly contacted me and clarified the situation. He was very transparent, and was willing to go out of his way to ensure that I was satisfied with any services that I received. They seem like all good gentlemen over there. read more

I hate to give these rating as I know how important ratings are but I was extremely disappointed with the service I was given. I went in because my car was acting funny, as most do, and was greeted with friendly customer service. They same like nice people. Unfortunately they we not able to figure out the problem, which is understandable, but didn't want to miss out on an opportunity to make money off of me and their time spent. Rather than saying that and letting me decide, they came up with a wild answer for why my car was acting the way it was, and when I was going to proceed to get the work done they begun to make excuses about how their diagnosis might not fix the problem, and how they might not be able to get the part needed. Even the receipt for diagnosis didn't give any details. It was obvious they didn't know and created a problem in order to charge me for the diagnostic check. It was dishonest and almost cost me $1.5k+ for something that wouldn't have fixed the problem. In all it was only $129 dollars I spent but left a bad taste in my mouth when I went to another shop and they were able to diagnosis my problem that day and fix the problem at a reasonable price. Honesty is so important in this field and this is why I am taking the time to write this review. I expected more from them but was left with the reminder that nice customer service doesn't mean fair and honest business. Updated: Since the store owner claimed to not be able to find my name in his system, conveniently, I added a picture of proof that this was the right location. Furthermore validating the shady business dealings by these guys. Nice try Adam, I know where I went and where I will not be returning to again! read more

Karoomi's is the best, most trustworthy auto center. Their prices are not only fair, but the cheapest I've found when comparing to other shops. All of the staff and technicians are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. They strive to provide their customers with the best quality and the most affordable service, and boy, do they succeed. A+ shop. I wouldn't trust my vehicles with anyone else. Karoomi's has proven time and time again that they are well deserving of my business! read more

Quick and reliable service. In and out in less than an hour with no appointment. Topped off fluids, and gave me a fair and honest estimate on additional repairs. I'll be bringing the rest of my vehicles in soon. The second car I brought in - the second car I left happy with. read more

They act friendly to your face. But they are deliberately dishonest. They lied straight to my face about doing repairs that they had already done two years ago. They claimed that they had no record of it. I have the written invoices and can prove their lies! Stay clear from this place and save your money. read more

Wow! We are Traveling from Montana and called to see if we could get our Ford F-350 oil changed. We saw the excellent reviews for Karoomi's and called...As luck would have it we got the dreaded oil change notification on our truck while driving to California...Adam Karoomi answered the phone at Karoomi's Auto Center and said he could get us right in. He was very personal and did a great job getting our oil changed quickly! I see why this is a 5 star shop! He is fast, efficient and pleasant. Do your car or truck a favor and take it to Karoomi's! read more

Karoomi's Auto Center - Oil change bay - Auto Repair Near Me - Santee, California

RUN AWAY!! They are not educated enough about cars and will tell you that they can work on it, instead, they make a small issue big and still want to charge for the time they kept the car by them and for their poor work. Adam made my car's issue worse, which led me go somewhere else to fix it after charging me so much money. The new mechanic was smart enough and showed me the poor quality of work Adam did. This is not only me, my friend apparently had problems with them too. You're better off going to another place that is more competent and know what they are doing. read more

Thank you Adam and team for fixing my bearings :). My car feels brand new no more humming or rattling thank you so much again! :)

A few months ago my car was leaking coolant and I came here and they did great work on my car and Adam contacted me every step of the way and kept updated on what was going on with my car. He fixed everything and my car is running great. Fast forward to today, I came here after work because my car was still leaking and he looked at it and told me that there was nothing wrong and he said that he could change my oil for me while I was waiting. I would totally recommend this place to anyone. Haven't had a bad experience yet. read more

Karoomi's came highly recomended by a friend of mine and they did not disappoint! Customer service is on point and they are truly an establishment that I can trust. The services I received were efficient and the pricing was incredibly fair. Their thorough attention to detail is what found a couple of other issues with my car and I cannot thank them enough for their outstanding services. They also offer a shuttle service which makes it easy for me to drop my car off before work. Will definitely be back and recommend to everyone! read more

my car has definitely been through it. and every time they did a great job fixing it and explaining what was going on. it was nice to a ride back. That is a nice service that you provide. And the have me a discount! read more

Oil light came on so I dropped in check it. Auto tech guy came right out and checked oil level, it was 1/2 quart low. He said oil was clean so no need for oil change. He topped it off and charged me a fair price. That's where I'm going for next oil change. read more

When we moved here a few years ago we shopped around for a good mechanic. Adam and his crew are awesome! They always fit us in and never try to upsell service we don't need. They are honest and decent priced. They offer us decent quotes and never perform any work without talking to us first. We had a weird sound happening with one of our cars that no one back east could figure out. Adam drove it and worked diligently until it was fixed. Worked with us for pricing too and was extremely helpful. We have found our spot and will continue to be loyal customers. read more

Brought my car there to get fix with a issue of code p0340. called me up said, they found 3 codes. Pick up the car, said it was fix. Cost me a $600. After 2 days the check engine light up again. I brought the car back for warranty, They say they going to look at it. Next thing you know. They said that there is a new problem? The code they found out is p0305 something to do about misfire? That the car need a new spark plug and wired set. So, I asked them what was the 3 codes they found and told them to write it down. This are the codes p0320,p017 and p019. I asked them what happen to the code p0 340. The first reason a brought the car there to get it fix. They told me that that never saw that code p0340 and that they will charge me another $400 for another repair and they will not fix it for free because is not related to the first code." Sound fishy to me, already." Make the story short. So i said, "Go fix it. Pay another $400. Guess what? Driving my car for one day. The check engine lights up again. I dont fucking believe!!! The code i saw was p0340 again. Cost me a fucking $1000 for screwing me & not fixing my car. All i can say is "Better watch out for that place. The people that fucking works there is very Dishonest. Scammmers, No fucking work ethics and Ignorant. No Hell Im going back there... read more

Took my car here due to overheating and I am always skeptical when it comes to mechanics but Adam took such great care of my car and was so friendly and honest! I will definitely be taking my car back here again for future issues!! Highly recommend Karoomis! read more

I enjoy coming to Karoomi's for all my auto needs on my cars. My car is very important to be able to do my jobs sufficiently. My primary job is I work for a MOBILE DR'S unit called Heal. Myself and a Dr. (pediatrics, family medicine, or internal medicine), travel to a patients home and deliver care in the privacy of their own comfortable environment. Which is pretty awesome experience for mothers, the sick, and the elderly. I use my car also as a driver for my other jobs also. Adam never lets me down with his fast and efficient service. I can always count on Adam giving me a automotive (lesson), teaching me on why he replaced this part or that part and, why it had to be replaced. Adam puts my mind at ease when it comes to my cars being in Tip-Top shape. I don't have to worry about not being safe, or breaking down. I do my car maintenances regularly with Adam at Karoomi's, appointment or not. He goes the extra mile to get me in and out. Time is precious to me. So, Thank You Adam for taking care of me and my family. Your a Blessing to the Community. Lisa (Mazda and Infiniti) read more

Adam the owner took a sincere interest in my 2005 Jeep Wangler Rubicon from the 1st service. He has not only fixed items, oil change, tire rotation and recharged my A/C. Had my AC stop working and he fixed and recharged my system at no charge. Superb quality workmanship! read more

We are so happy with our services recently done for our car. While on vacation and having some work done to our home I went to the car wash next door. Well to my surprise after I could not start my car. Thank goodness the mechanic shop is in the same parking lot. They kindly pushed my car over to them for me. Adam was very helpful. Turns out my starter had gone out. Then the radiator went out the next day or so. All the above as well as a couple other issues were repaired for an awesome price and rapid turn around. They even offered to give me a ride home if needed. Besides my Dad whom is a mechanic as well , I have found our new local mechanic shop. So great to have honesty and care during car troubles. I'm back on the road again!! read more
