DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO PEP BOUS FOR ANYTHING!!! I went there to have an oil change and tire rotation and when I drove off onto the boulevard my front tire came off and went all the way across Winchester blvd. They took it back to the shop to repair damage and Still charged me for the oil change!!! The tire damaged my trucks fender and I have been trying to get in contact with someone to pay for the damage for 3 1/2 weeks. NOTHING YET!!! I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE A CHANCE HERE WITH YOUR VEHICLE!!!

Went in to get a hole in my tire fixed and found they had wiper blades too. Really good location imo, staff was very helpful and quick. I think it cost me like 20 bucks but it's been awhile since I was actually there..

Spilled oil all over under my hood.

DON'T SERVICE YOUR CAR HERE. Unfortunately, this isn't the first time I've received bad service, specifically from this location. I went in for an oil change and a break inspection. Spent a little more than I expected but I knew there were some issues with my breaks so it is what it is. They do what they needed to do and I went to get my vehicle when it was finished. I drive home which is only about a 4 min drive away and it's smoking like crazy under the hood of my car. When I check what's wrong, whoever changed my oil spilled tons of it all over my engine and everywhere else making it smoke and stink. I called and they did offer to clean it up for me but my dad came to the rescue instead. It's frustrating when you spend 500$+ on servicing your vehicle just to be left anxious at what else they could've possibly done wrong to your vehicle. Mistakes happen. But when they're not owned up to and corrected immediately is where laziness and negligence comes into play and I don't want someone like that working on my car. It's 2026 ladies, let's stop paying to have our oil and brake pads changed and do it ourself !

Simple fix and no help

See all

Had an appointment and still had to wait an extra hour to get my oil change. What the purpose of an appointment if it won't be used.

He actually talked me out of doing a couple things that I was asking about because everything looked good, which I appreciated a lot. Sometimes I feel like people are trying to constantly upsell me in these businesses, and that definitely wasn't the case here. He did identify a service I hadn't been thinking about, and my car has been running noticeably better since. Highly recommend this place.

I live in San Diego because I prefer to walk more than I drive. But one of the reasons I hate…read moredriving beyond environmental impact is the predatory energy around car maintenance. Especially as a woman I just know they're more likely to take advantage. I got my last oil change here six months ago. I set a challenge for myself to try to only use one tank of gas in six months. So obviously, I have not driven very often. But Google, ChatGPT, and the few men in my life told me that I needed to go get an oil change since it had been 6 months. So I went back to oil changers. To my absolute delight they showed me oil that looked freshly changed. No need to change what's already good. They gave me all the tips I need to know for when I need to actually come back and what I can be doing to maintain my car in the meantime. It would have been so easy for them to just take my money and lie to me. It would have been just a normal errand I'd forget about in a few days. But now I will refer everybody to this location because I am so thrilled with that experience on top of already having a positive experience when I DID need an oil change last time. You don't really expect too much from these limited service shops. But the energy here is good. The people here seem to work well together and after today I will continue to come here as long as I live in San Diego.

This place was recommended to me by a friend because it's hard to find a reputable auto shop you can trust. Sam was working the phone and computer work and was very efficient. Got me in and taken care of in just about 24 hours. They stay busy for a reason. The mechanics are very good at what they do. My car was making a noise I couldn't figure out and they had a few ideas what it could be and they explained it all to me before doing any work. I gave them the green light with what I could afford and it resolved my issue and they advised me what I should get done next when I can afford it. Would definitely recommend North Park Auto, great business with great people. Thank you!

They didn't tell me what it said. Instead, they said it would 1-2 days to diagnose the problem and cost me $165 just for diagnosis. I went somewhere else and they were able to diagnose my issue using that SAME device in 10 seconds. They told me to come back tomorrow after they ordered the part and they would fix it for me for $175. They are no longer open on Sundays and are basically just ripping people off at this point. I will no longer be using them for any car repairs that I have moving forward. I used to recommend them to everyone I knew, but that is no longer the case.
