This place was prompt, professional, kind, and communicative. It's always scary when trying to find a shop to repair your car. After researching on Yelp for different shops, I finally settled on this one. I had issues with my car's transmission and not being able to shift into gear/clutch not being responsive. MR Auto SD diagnosed the issue, communicated clearly what the plan was moving forward and provided the overall the price. They completed the job much sooner than I expected. I've already recommended this shop to friends and will be coming back next time I have auto issues. read more

I went here to get my Lexus IS 250 transmission fluid and filter changed. Drain and fill service. Friendly staff and very professional. I will trust these guys to do whatever work is needed on the car in the future. One thing I forgot to ask was whether I needed change the transmission filter again when I get it the transmission fluid drain and filled again at the next 50k miles. But anyhow, good and trustworthy shop. read more

Today was a very bad experience with these guys .As you can see in my previous review with old account (I can't access that account anymore for password issues).I called 2 days ago and didn't make it because of one urgent issue and went today afternoon to explain and get it done or get new appointment.But regular friendly guys at this location ,this guy was so rude and told me that you can't just walked in like this, we are very busy with very unwelcoming and unprofessional attitude.I was quite surprised because this young Vietnamese guys are always friendly,polite and honest in nature.Long story short, we had argument and I left because of very rude behavior.He even told me Get the f... Out of here.I was very upset and angry about today's experience and decided not to return to them until they have trained the staffs with better customer service and behavior modification training. Even though this bad experience,I have to agree that these guys don't upsell and create imaginary issues to make money. For now,I am very disappointed with customer service and expect the owner to take some action towards employees training and customer service experience improvement. read more

I have been to the shop few times recently, and I could say that I am satisfied with the service by far, and confident to bring back my car for other repair/service in the future if needed. I own a car with high mileage, approaching 200,000, that needs many auto work done. Steve at the front line, & the shop owner, have patiently explaining and answering my questions; furthermore, giving options for repairs, after diagnosed my car. Indeed, I went to other few shops to check on the problems on my car, and the results of the diagnostic were confirming the outcome of MR Auto SD evaluation. Pricing is decent, as I shop around before decided to get a work done. Other highlights are the speed of repairing, courtesy calls and response, are excellent. The shop is really clean, too. Just the overall, it makes me feel comfortable and confident to go back. read more

Got my break pads and rotors replaced - great service and pricing!

Had to get some work done on an 06 Honda Civic. Just recently moved to San Diego and was concerned about finding the best service for the best value. They did not disappoint. Glad I don't have to search around anymore for vehicle maintenance. read more

I had known about the shop from my friend who had given me her car, from last week I was hearing a metallic squeaking noise when I would press on the brakes. So I called the shop today in the morning about my concerns for the rear brakes in my VW Jetta. Hao was very clear and friendly on the phone, and he accommodated me right away to come in for the service. They gave me quite reasonable price to replace the pads and rotors, John did a great job and made sure I don't have to get new calipers as well. He also inspected everything else in the car for me without trying to sell anything more. I was happy with their work and friendliness, and I ended up getting an oil change as well. Definitely recommend the shop to readers, and of course I am coming back in future whenever needed! read more

MR Auto SD - John replacing the brakes in my VW Jetta! - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

This was my first experience with MR AUTO SD My wife's 2014 Hyundai Sonata needed the 105k mile service. We also recently had a Fuel Pump replaced at a local shop and now the fuel Gauge didn't work. I Ask Hao if he could also trouble shoot the Fuel Pump / gauge issue. He assured me that he would remove the fuel pump, troubleshoot and note what was found so I could go back to the shop that did the original Fuel pump replacement. Hao seemed very knowledgeable and explained what the 105K service would involve and gave me a detailed written estimate. When I went to pick up the car the next day Hao explained that the 105K service all went well. He also mentioned that when removing the Fuel Pump that a plug had not been attached as it should and simply attached it and the gauge and pump worked fine. MRAUTO diagnosed and fixed the fuel pump issue for less than half what the original shop suggested. I was very pleased with the overall experience and reasonable rates. I highly recommend MRAUTO, LLC Thanks Hao and team read more

These guys are great, honest and really decently priced. They'll take good care of you.

Took in our 2011 Ford Fusion because it was making a rattling noise and the driver inside handle wasn't working. The team was quick to identify the problems and talked me through it. They made the repairs on the same day! They are reliable, knowledgeable, well priced and transparent. Definitely recommend this business! read more

I'm always wary looking for a new mechanic. I went to yelp and found MrAutoSD. These guys have great reviews for a reason. I have a very old car that needed some help. I had them do a lot of little repairs and a few big ones. They didn't charge me for the super simple repairs, which I'm grateful for. They fixed my car up quickly and at a very reasonable price. I am taking my car back for additional repairs and maintenance. I'm so glad I found them. read more

What a hidden gem. Ran through a deep puddle and my car was making all sorts of grinding/clucking noises while driving. Needed this fixed asap. Found this as my closest auto shop, called and requested a quote. They told me to bring it in to evaluate. Ended up being just minor damage to the bottom splash shield. Finished within minutes as it was just some minor corrections. Asked for their quote and he responded don't worry about it. WOW. Most honesty I've gotten from an auto shop. Such humble people. Car drives like nothing ever happened, i think I found my new go to auto shop. Super thankful! read more

Quick service at a reasonable rate. Highly recommend! Been there twice now. Will go again in the future.

I highly recommend MR auto and trust their mechanics to maintain and repair our vehicles. Vu Pham, the owner, and his competant crew do excellent work and their prices are fair. We've been taking our cars here for years. read more

After looking, calling and visiting a few shops I ended up deciding on bringing my son's car here for replacement of his catalytic converter that was stolen in December.

I've gone to Mr. Auto twice now for car repairs. Both times the staff was professional, knowledgeable, and gave me a sense of comfort that they had my best interests in mind. They fixed the problems quickly and without any of the nonsense of upselling. Because of this they will continue to have me as a client, as well as my referrals. Thank you for what you do. read more

I brought my car in and gave them the list of issues given to me by another shop. They took their time cleaned the area thoroughly and found it to be a different problem caused by poor workmanship from another shop I no longer use. The job was done quickly and the problem was solved. No upcharges or unnecessary recommendations. read more

My daughters car needed repairs and not knowing any reliable shops around we looked in Yelp base on positive reviews. We were thankful we chose MR Auto SD. They were pleasant to talk to and very responsive. And the price is very reasonable. We will definitely be back for our future car repairs. Thank you MR Auto SD. read more

I switched services from the dealer to this place. I am satisfied and have been keeping coming back.

I took my 2015 Camaro in for a routine oil change. I selected MR Auto SD based on the location to my job and stellar reviews. My communication was strictly through Yelp. They were quick to accommodate my availability. I settled on a 1pm appointment. I rolled up exactly on time. Within minutes, i was greeted at the front desk by Phil. He asked if i was dropping off or waiting. I said, waiting (was told it would be 30min) He asked me to sign their book with my contact information. With that, he entered it into their computer system. At about 1:09pm, my Camaro was pulled into the garage floor. At 1:28pm it was down from the lift and back on the floor. Unfortunately, there was a part that was missing..a ring...or something to that nature. I think the guy was Hao, who ran out to get the missing part. Before he left he asked what time i had to be on the road, I said 1:55pm at the latest. He jammied on his way and came back as quickly as he left. Although I was not out within 30 min as originally told, i was however back in my car by 1:54pm! I'm still giving MR Auto SD 5 stars. As a female, I felt comfortable that I was not taken advantage of; I received great service and a fair price for what i needed. In my opinion, I would highly recommend. read more

Really nice people. Patient and comprehensive, they explained me everything that they had to do and why. I had to fix a couple things like the thermostat, the timing belt, the vacuum pump etc. Quick job, always the same day ready. I went there twice and will go back ! Thank you! read more

We were looking for a reliable place to service my daughter's VW, and we found MR Auto on Yelp. With their great reviews and the fact they were Volkswagen specialists, we decided to give them a try. They were very friendly, detailed, and professional. They easily isolated the leak issue, and told us it would take a day to get the parts, but in the end were able to get the part quicker and fixed it the same day. All in all, it was a great experience, and my daughter will be bringing her Jeta to MR for service going forward. read more

I had an excellent experience with MR Auto SD today. I didn't have a chance to make an appointment for an oil change and car inspection for today, but MR Auto was able to squeeze me in quickly and do a quality job for a good price before I headed out for the holiday weekend. The technician also gave me some helpful information on oil changes and upcoming maintenance I can do for my high-mileage car. This place is kinda tucked away in an industrial office area, but they have a nice bay, parking lot, and waiting room. I would definitely recommend this auto shop! read more

Best Mechanic we found a couple years ago on yelp here and just used them again and so reasonable and trustworthy! Thank You! Highly recommend! read more

Came in this morning as scheduled to get cat converter protector installed on my prius. They said it would take 1.5 hrs to do but was able to knock it out in 45 minutes. Very straight forward crew. Will come back in the future to get regular service. I recommend any new customers to get scheduled ahead of time. Makes things easier for everybody. read more

Want to thank team at Mr Auto for taking care of my 2012 VW Passat! Car was running sluggishly, they found multiple code errors. Had a full tune up done with cleaning of throttle body. Car is now running perfect! Great customer service, fair prices, totally recommend Mr Auto SD for anyone's car care needs! read more

I'm not sure who I just spoke on the phone with but I am super impressed with him. I haven't actually taken my car here yet, but when I called to see if they work on my year/make/model, and explained the problem, he recommended a solution that may avoid repairs/costs altogether. And keep in mind I had made a ton of calls to other shops - one guy wanted $250 just to look at it and that fee wasn't applicable toward repairs. Ummmm, yeah, not gonna happen. Lol. read more

Always excellent service at a more than fair price. I wish I had found these guys when I first needed car repairs in San Diego!

You always worry when you see 5 stars across the board, but rest assured, these are not fake reviews. I recently went to Mr. Auto SD because the Toyota dealership told me I needed to replace a water pump, and a transmission gasket which would have ended up being around $1,000. So, I thought I'd get a second opinion. After looking my car over, I got a call and they told me that all that needed to be done was to replace my cabin filter and air filter--they told me the other stuff wasn't an issue. When I came and drove away in my car, it drove better and the AC even worked better as a bonus--wasn't expecting that. These guys could have easily gone with what the Toyota dealership said and charged me unnecessarily, but they didn't. I even asked the guy how they had so many good reviews on Yelp and he said, "Just good honest work." He was not lying. Thanks, guys, I appreciate your honesty and good work. You've made a life-long customer. read more

These guys were able to do a last minute walk-in, examined the problem, got to work on it and got back to me with the car workin smooth again. Hao was able to quickly get around to doing all this whilst manning the front register and even was able to grab the parts that were needed when they didnt have it on hand. These guy's service was far more than exceptional and if ever anything happens to my cars, these guys will be my first go-to read more

The Mr Auto SD is gem hidden between Mira Mesa and Mira Mar. They provide excellent service and great value! I called multiple places for a quote on alternator replacement and they have best deal! Excellent customer service! read more

Came in for a conventional oil change when they first opened in the morning (good idea if you don't want to wait). Don't remember my mechanic's name, but he was kind and knowledgeable. Also went in to ask about the battery of my car and he took the time to check it even though he wasn't being paid for it. Didn't push me to buy anything or replace anything. Oil change took around 45min and costed a total of 23.45. (I believe it's normally advertised as $25, but I had a coupon for $20 on their website). Of course, I'm writing this review the same day as my visit, so I have yet to see how well they did changing my oil, but as of now I am quite happy with the price and service. If I don't edit this later, that means they did an excellent job. read more

I needed an oil change and thanks to yelp I was able to find an adorable, yet reliable auto shop! Vu was very honest and didn't try to up sell. The whole process was quick and easy. I called prior to coming in because my main concern was that I had a toyota and it appeared as if they serviced to VW; however, when I called, Vu indicated that they service to all cars. I came here around 8:15 am, Monday morning. Vu took my car in right away. They changed my oil and changed one headlight bulb. Total was around $40. Thanks to yelp, I was able to get an oil change for $21.99. On top of those two repairs, he fixed the rattle in my car that has been bugging me for over 2 years!!! Honestly, I was so impressed that he was able to diagnosis the problem because for 2 years I've been taking my car into different repair shops and all of them had indicated that either my car is getting old (i have a 2006 toyota) or that they don't hear it. So , Vu indicated that the rattle in my car was just a lose latch in my hood. He even fixed it for free!!! All repairs took about 50 minutes. Thank you so much Vu and his team! I will definitely be coming here more often! read more
