Kassandra was also very welcoming and thoughtful, she even recommended a small bakery nearby if I wanted a comfortable place to relax while waiting. As a woman, it can sometimes be difficult to find a mechanic you feel comfortable with and can trust not to take advantage of you. This was absolutely the best place to go,I felt respected, informed, and completely at ease throughout the whole process. Overall, an AMAZING experience. I truly appreciate the great customer service!

    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?

    Brought my Jeep Wrangler back to Life!…read more I feel safe driving my 2007 Jeep again, it even drives noticeably better! After leaving me stranded, Meineke found out it was just a broken transmission cable and repair was ~$600. Not accusing my old mechanic for the broken cable, the Jeep is from 2007 after all, but he told me it wasn't worth fixing and offered me $2K for it. Thank goodness my boss, a VP, recommended I towed it to Meineke in PB! Not only they did the repair but took the time to ask me what my goal was for the Jeep, keep or sell, and gave me confidence keeping it. It has a few leaks but it's in good shape for my commute and some camping trips out in Anza. Although they were closing on a Friday, they even took the time to teach me, LIKE A FAMILY MEMBER, how to keep an eye on the coolant and oil to make notes on the leaks to go over on our next oil change. Thank you Meineke Team!

I also wasn't charged for fluids and the diagnostic tests, which was a kind gesture and helped a lot. Hopefully I won't need to see a mechanic anytime soon! But if I do I'm coming back here.

    I cannot say enough good things about this repair shop and, especially, Francisco…read more My vehicle was originally stuck at the dealership service center with an open invoice that had to be paid before they would release it. When Francisco reviewed the invoice, he immediately spotted erroneous charges and argued on my behalf to have them corrected - without me even asking. I showed his email to several friends, and even they were shocked by how thorough and professional he was in pushing back. That alone earned my trust. Francisco personally picked up my vehicle, coordinated everything seamlessly, and had an entirely new engine installed within a week - which is incredible considering the scope of the work. To make matters even better, he later removed a charge from my estimate because the actual cost to him was less. Who does that? That level of honesty is rare. From start to finish, this shop demonstrated integrity, efficiency, and genuine customer advocacy. I never felt taken advantage of, rushed, or kept in the dark. Francisco treated my car - and my money - as if they were his own. If you're looking for a shop that is skilled, ethical, fast, and truly stands up for their customers, this is it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, and I will absolutely return for future work.

    As a girl, I just want someone to take my money and fix what I can't without being scammed…read more My car's blinker switch was smoking and the blinker wasn't working. I was very concerned. The other problem I was having was that my car was making a screeching noise when I first turned it on. When I brought it in for Vinh to take a look at, he said oh, neither thing is a big deal. He showed me that yes, there was an issue with the blinker switch but I could still use it so it was not imperative that it be replaced. He told me that if I wanted to replace it he would but it would be cheaper for me to purchase the switch myself and he'll change it out. He also told me the belts needed to be changed. I really appreciated that he was honest and told me that it's not a big deal. Unlike when you get your oil changed at a Valvoline and they act like you're going to die if you don't change your cabin filter. I went in on a busy day without an appointment. He kept me updated about how long it would take and who was in front of me. The service was great and prices were very reasonable. Only thing I wish I knew in advance was that it's cash only but that's on me for not reading the reviews. I'll be coming back for any and all services I need in the future.

It was still under warranty so I visited the place I got the battery. They told me my terminals were corroded and gave me an estimate of $100 to over $1000. The car is over 10 years old and close to 100K, so it might need new cables which would require taking a lot of stuff out blah blah...they would not know until they started the work.

I had gone to another place that quoted me over $3000 for a repair, but this shop took the time to actually diagnose the issue. Turns out, my car was perfectly fine!

If you're looking for an honest and reliable auto shop, I'd definitely recommend swinging by M&C

    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.
