Everyone, especially Troy and Marcos, was communicative, honest, transparent, professional and fair throughout the entire process and they had everything taken care of in no time. Friendly, efficient, and overall just a really great experience. I'll absolutely be coming back and would highly recommend them!

    Be careful relying on what Mission Bay Automotive tells you regarding WHEN your vehicle will…read moreactually be looked at. You might up paying for 2 tow bills like I did, a lost day, and the headache of finding another shop/time off work. I called at 9am to have the fuel lines replaced on my 68 Chevelle. Marcos told me they would look it at, had the time, and asked me to have it towed in right away. I arranged and paid for a tow to their shop, and Marcos confirmed they received it at 11am. I stopped by at lunch to meet him in person, add a few items like FiTech reset and parking brake adjustments, and he said the techs would get to it and he'd have an estimate by END OF DAY. No call from Marcos, so I called him at 4:30. Nothing had been done. No assessment, no techs looked at it, and when I asked so why did he have me tow it in, the conversation went sideways and he said "Maybe you should take it somewhere else" and that they'd push it outside and I could pick it up! My issue is not that the shop is busy (they all tell you that) - the issue is I paid for it to be towed in because he said they'd take a look at it and have an assessment by end of day. When I called him at 4:30, nothing had been done and I was met with the attitude/tone to take it somewhere else. I was pretty stuck having already paid for the tow there, and asked if they would get to it tomorrow, and he refused to answer and left me with no choice but to pick it up. Mission Auto gets great reviews - I'm not disputing that. That's the very reason I reached out to them. But I have to balance it with my very bad experience, so bad that this is my first yelp review. Warning: *especially if you tow your car to them, have them stick to their assessment timelines (not the fix, just the estimate). Towing it there means you are "stuck" so they don't have to stick to their word. The result can be a lost day, two tow bills and more headache/time off work to have it go to another shop because they won't acknowledge they missed the timeline THEY promised, and when challenged, will leave your car and keys at the door.

That morning the car stalled after dropping my son off at the airport cause my silly %^&, decided to test the ignition during a long light before making that right on Grape. Luckily after 10 minutes on the side of the road & S.D.P.D. lurking it started I found Vinh once I got home. Took the car to his shop ASAP. It's hard to find *The Shop* cause, True Wizards are always in the shadows. Vinh told me what the issue was after doing a quick diagnostic check. Then he directed me to the closest auto-parts store. With a reminder DO NOT turn off the car. Once I returned he fixed the car & some other little things. Only charged me 50 bucks for the service. Also i didn't have cash so he let me take the car home eat, go to the ATM and come back later. He's also looked at my sons car for free several times. With suggestions to sell the car or take it somewhere else he knows is better and faster than him. I'd recommend him to my Grandmother and Yours too.

My wife's Chevy Tahoe had a…read morecomplete wheel bearing failure that caused damage to other components, and Vinh took care of everything with honesty and professionalism. He gave me a fair price for the repair and even suggested I purchase certain parts from AutoZone because they come with a warranty--something most shops wouldn't bother to tell you. On top of that, he made sure the Tahoe was safe to drive, topped off all the fluids at no extra cost, and explained everything clearly along the way. It's rare to find a mechanic who is this honest, thorough, and takes real pride in his work. Vinh goes above and beyond, and because of that, I'll definitely be bringing my vehicles back here in the future. Highly recommend this shop if you want trustworthy, quality work!

    Sorrento Valley, Miramar

    Highly recommend for road trip prep!…read more This is an amazing place to get your vehicle inspected before a long road trip. I booked online, noted my concerns in the text box, and dropped my car off the next day. After checking in at the office, I walked Joey through my concerns and opted for a Post-Purchase Inspection. Joey sent over the findings quickly and gave me his honest, upfront opinion on what needed immediate attention before my trip versus what maintenance could wait until I reached my destination. He also provided a clear copy of the inspection quotes so there were no surprises. In the end, they completed the full inspection, replaced the car battery, and fixed a coolant leak for around $550+ (including taxes). I definitely recommend this shop! Pro-tip: Try to get there early in the day, as on-site parking and road traffic can get a bit hectic later on.

    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 started going to Robert's Auto Service after a friend recommended them as an honest shop that…read moredoes excellent work, and I'm so glad he did. I've been there several times for oil changes, and every experience has been great. Last weekend, my car suddenly started making some very strange noises on the highway. Robert's was immediately my first choice. They diagnosed the problem, fixed it quickly, and the cost was very reasonable. Everyone there is professional, responsible, honest, and reliable. They do what they say they're going to do, communicate clearly, and make the whole experience easy. They even provided a courtesy ride, which I really appreciated. A trustworthy auto shop is one of those businesses that is good to know and helpful to have. I'm very happy I found Robert's and absolutely recommend them.

    While I never did business with Robert's, I bought a Miata with 112k miles that was serviced by…read morethem. All I can say is what a mess. The CarFax shows possible mileage rollback on this vehicle because their techs added an extra 30k miles to the odometer at one of the visits. It jumped from 90k to 112k in 3 months, and then back down to 94k 3 months later when serviced elsewhere. The PO also got a clutch replacement with them at 109k and since then it had 5th gear grind which is why I was able to buy the car for a cheap price. I drained the transmission fluid and found metal chunks all over the drain plug magnet from the synchro getting worn down. I filled it with the proper GL-4 lubricant and the grind got much better. I can now shift into 5th most of the time without grinding. They probably used GL-5 lube which has much more additives and properties meant for differentials. I've dived deeper into the car and found a loose slave clutch hardline bolt as well as a loose bell housing to engine bolt. The Miata has 1 very long bell housing bolt that needs to go on the exhaust hanger side. They put this bolt on the opposite side (passenger side) near the starter and left it sticking out 1 inch so it was pinching the engine harness. If the owner reads this please get your staff to pay a little more attention to the details because they absolutely matter.
