She was a happy girl after the oil change and fluids top off.
Dallas N.

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.

Oil change bay
Carren R.

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!

This is the front of the auto place and it's great going to have my own change done today

See all

I stopped in at Advanced Automatic Transmissions a few weeks ago, thinking I could get my car…read moreinspected for registration. I'm so grateful I made this error (they don't do state inspections) because Joseph, the owner's son and partner, was an absolute savior. I knew I needed a new catalytic converter and all my check engine lights were on. Joseph kindly checked all the lights and told me exactly what each meant and then reset them, instructing me to return to the shop after a few weeks to see if I was ready for inspection. He refused to take any money, though I offered to pay him for his time. Unfortunately, my lights came back on before I could get it inspected, but Joseph's help and kindness were what I truly needed to buy the the time to figure out a plan for next steps. I'm definitely going to return if I need transmission work, as it's rare to find a mechanic who is honest and kind and doesn't try to rip you off. Highly recommended!

Personally had them service my truck and add a deeper transmission pan because when I tow my temps get hot. They not only installed the part and serviced my transmission , they kept it at the same price they quoted me, not like some of these other shops that give you a quote and then it changes after service is completed. Highly recommend would definitely come back.

And also their prices were a lot cheaper than others. I'm the kind of person who takes service seriously so I made sure to do my research around 5-7 of them and even their reviews. Although location they were the furthest out of mine, El Cajon , I went for it for their dedication, rates and even they check on me again days after while I was waiting to make a final decision. When I showed up to the place I got a bit nervous cause their spot seemed like a flee market of a group of mechanics all together and their own expertise areas, but also kinda amazing you can find all of there at the same spot. But they were really nice, honest and direct with what they could do and quick too. The lady in charge of the appointment and admon was amazing., explained the procedures, the tinning and I felt secure and that I could trust these hard working-honest people.

SD Transmissions does not let me down at all!!!…read more After going to them for my Explorer's transmission issues, instead of having to buy a new transmission, it was just a O-Ring, I need to get some transmission work done again. Bought a used F250SD and did not have a issues for about two years. I started feeling the truck slip every once and a while then one day I parked at my office and when I went back out to my truck to go home I could not get the truck in reverse. The shifter lever would just go up and down with a lot of play and wouldn't get into gear. I had to rev the engine really high for it to go in gear then it would jump really bad when it finally caught the gear. Took it to SD Transmission because they gave me a truthful diagnostic on my last car so I knew they would do the same for me this time. Turns out everything in my Transmission was slowly breaking and it would have only been a matter of time before I wouldn't be able to put it in gear at all. Vanessa got me checked in and work started the day I took it in. By the end of the day I had the results of their diagnostic. It wasnt what I wanted to hear. The transmission had to be completely rebuilt. Usually, I would have questioned this and took it for a second opinion but because they were honest with me last time and were very fair on the price I didnt have to go anywhere else. They rebuilt my transmission in a couple of days and I got my truck back. Vanessa and her crew are the best. I bought the warranty for the work they did because if you know transmissions you know they are VERY expensive and need a protection plan. Drove out of the shop with a "new" transmission and the truck ran great!!!! Few thousand miles later my shifter lever started having a lot of play in it. I had to slam it up to get into park. I could not put the shifter lever in the lower gears because it just wouldnt get down that far. I was in luck thought, my check up date/mileage was coming up so I made an appointment with Vanessa and she got me in the next week. When I got there (10am) I was greeted in the office by Vanessa who addressed me by name and not just another car to repair. She took my information and I let her know about the shifter lever. She said the truck would be ready at 3pm. 2:30PM I received a call from Vanessa saying my truck was ready for me to go pick it up. When I got there the truck was outside ready to go. Vanessa walked me to the truck and explained what they did during the check-up. She also explained how and why my shifter lever got the way it was and that they fixed the issue. My truck runs great now!!!! Thank you SD Transmissions for your great work and for being a honest shop when there are so many that are not. If you need any transmission work, I recommend SD Transmissions!!

They rebuilt my transmission several years ago and is still going strong! I highly recommend them for any driveline needs. Thank you Richard and Vanessa and your entire crew!
