The price is good and staff is friendly, most importantly, they have me fix my car problems several times

Phan's auto repair is very responsive and offer price-worthy service. I will recommend!

Brake Fluid Change on my BMW X2 2018. They had the best price when Yelp sent my request out to auto shops. They're also Asian and not to be racist (cuz im also Asian) but they're like the Asian students who were quiet but got the work done well in high school... except they grew up and now fix your car. I came in on a Tuesday morning they were cool with me being late (my oil level light came on THAT morning so paranoia had me stop by OReilly for a top off before Phans). Brake fluid change takes 2-3 hours and there's nowhere fun to walk to in that part of Miramar Road. So I waited in their principal office-looking space. Free WiFi provided. A few nod offs later, they drove my car up to the front all done. It barely felt like an hour. FYI I also checked MCAS Firestone and Phans price was just $20 more than military pricing. Exceptional work, fast service, no annoying salesman bs trying to upsell auto repair or plant a seed of worry about your auto negligence (admittedly, either there was nothing else potentially wrong with my car or they saw something but didn't care to tell me - still I appreciated talking was to a minimum), expeditious service, and competitive pricing. If you're searching and uncertain which autoshop to choose (cuz there's a bunch on Miramar) give Asian Auto Assistance a try. Go to Phans. Thanks guys. read more

I've gotten my oil changes, brake fluid and spark plug replaced here. They're really professional, straightforward and prices are very reasonable. They are auto shop mechanics and not sales people. Really honest people and work well on cars, I highly recommend! There isn't really much around (cafes to go to wait etc) though there is a sitting/waiting area inside. read more

The dashboard indicator showed brakes and pad with message to take my car to the repair shop. The usual mechanic is always busy and there's a 2 month wait to get service. I can't wait, after searching and getting quotes on Yelp, I based my selection on credible positive reviews and chose Phan Auto Repair shop in Mira Mesa. I usually go to bigger established shops, but sometimes those shops are notorious for being dishonest about parts and labor costs $$$$. And every time I take my car to a dealer for repairs, they want to buy my current car and sell me a new car, which is their mission, other than overcharge. This shop is in Mira Mesa, not fancy by any means: the waiting area was very dirty, no air conditioning, and not enough space as the seats were crammed up. My objective was to drop off my car for brakes repair and dash out. There were 3 guys working at Phan, I spoke to Dave and Lai. I had previously texted via Yelp and their response was faster than their competitors, in fact a shop across the street quoted me $300-$400 more!! They answered all my questions, concerns and after 4 hours, installed OEM brake routers, pads and sensors on my MBZ. During that time, I took a Lyft to UTC and watched a 3 hrs movie: Odyssey, had lunch and shopped. Shortly thereafter, I got a call saying my car was ready. Upon paying, I made sure my receipt clearly included a warranty. Be aware there is a 3% fee if you pay with a credit card. But I was glad new brakes routers, pads and scensors were installed at a reasonable price. Thanks to Yelp and Yelpers reviews about this shop. Glad there is no brake squeak and will keep my fingers crossed about this recent brake work as I had an overall positive experience from this great shop Phan's Auto Repair. read more

Great work. Quick, honest, fair price. Customer service was kinda unusual. The guy hardly made eye contact, had no emotion in his expression, and didn't really speak unless spoken to. ‍ A 5 star shop might appoint someone with better people skills to deal with customers but everything else was good. read more

Thanks so much Phan's automotive for being always so fast to attend my needs especially because the couple times that I have been there was always in a hurry and last minute and in both times I was served very quickly and then I was charged nothing. So basically they didn't even charge me anything for the diagnosis, one time was due to my bumper been broken so they helped me to fix it for free. And second time I got red light engine and they did the diagnostic and told me I would better buy a new car than spend $2,000 with them. So I think this is very honest and I like their attitude and her working mechanic. read more

I was able to set up a quick oil change appointment the same day I called. Everyone at Phans (customer service at the front and the mechanic who worked on my car) were very efficient with time. Price quotes are very reasonable and they are transparent about everything. They don't try to oversell you on things or find additional issues (unless you ask them to check out your concerns). Highly recommend! read more

Didn't charge me as the issue was a computer reset problem. Did miss another issue but that's not why I brought it in. Honestly is hard to find these days. read more

So rare to find an honorable repair shop!! Needed new brake pads and they were much less than what the dealer quoted. It's been a few months now and everything works great! They even explained what the noise was and saved me a few hundred saying I didn't need front pads yet. Now, my car broke down this past weekend. AAA guy was a ding dong who misdiagnosed the problem when jumping my car, and local mechanic tried to take advantage of his stupidity, which would have cost me over $1000. Called Phan's and Lai explained everything step by step, totally patient, professional, polite, and trustworthy. By some minor miracle my car started so I drove it directly to their shop after the phone call. David checked out my car and returned it to me saying it only needed a battery. I AM NEVER TAKING MY CAR ANYWHERE ELSE, and you shouldn't either!!!! No bells and whistles, small shop, but competent, quick, friendly, trustworthy! Choose this place over the dealer to save yourself a lot of money! read more

See all

5 stars! Great customer service. Took me in after their last call! I get off at 5pm so I had to rush. Very efficient and highly recommend. I got an oil change and with a decent price read more

And the regular customer here. Each time these guys do a great job of providing cost efficient and high quality service. I always start with these guys when I have Auto Repair and certainly regular maintenance like oil changes, brakes, etc. There's also a discount if you pay with cash! read more

They are honest & their prices are very fair. The repair took longer than expected but myrepair was not a typical repair so i was very understanding with the delay. The delay is the only reason for the 4 stars. My vehicle is running great now & they resolved all the issues. I will be back there for future repairs. read more

Had an 8:30 a.m. Saturday appointment for a check engine light and several other items. The check engine light turned out to be a cylinder misfire, and what I thought might become a very expensive engine repair ended up being much more reasonable than expected. The team at Phan's diagnosed the problem, explained everything clearly, and completed the repairs professionally. They also took care of several smaller items while the car was there, which was very convenient. It's not always easy to find an honest, reliable independent mechanic, but we had an excellent experience and would definitely recommend Phan's Auto Repair. As a bonus, Stars & Stripes gas station and car wash is right around the corner, so you can fill up, get a great car wash, and call it a day. read more

Quick and easy oil change. I made an appointment day of and they had availability. It was quality service and I highly recommend Phan's Auto Shop. It was around $70 for my Kia K4 which I thought was reasonable. They also have a seating area with WiFi! read more

Phan's Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

Absolutely incredible service by 2nd generation of mechanics. I took my GLK350 here to get my oil changed and rear brakes changed (brought in my own OEM parts). Everything went well and the price was UNBEATABLE. I love a good mechanic shop that won't jip you for their labor because that means they care about giving their customers value. I'm coming here for all my mechanic needs and telling all my friends/ fam!!! read more

I did post-inspection purchase for BMW 2022, really comprehensive details. It's even able to track something got worked on the rear bumper while car reports didn't report any accident. The value is amazing, best in San Diego....you cannot find anywhere else. read more

Got my oil change and belt replaced here for my corolla. They also inspected my car when the check engine light came on without an extra cost. It is easy to feel scammed as a woman in the auto world but not here! Solid guys and fair prices. 5/5 all around. read more

I called in Saturday morning and was able to get a same day appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. Took about 1 hour for both services. Transparent about the cost, did not try oversell anything. They were super friendly and honest when I asked about my tire health, told me they were in good condition still and could go on for another 20-30k miles. read more

Great work on my breaks. Not a cheap shop but the work is great. The reception can be a little friendlier.

Went ve try well, service was fast! I went in for an oil change, saw the quote online and it was the same in person. There were a few people that morning but still hardly had to wait. I'd recommend this shop to anyone else in the area read more

Staff very friendly, honest, and accommodating with very reasonable prices too. I went in to swap out my exhaust on my MR2 and they did a flawless job and even waited for my parts to come in since it was on backorder. I am definitely taking all my cars here from now on for all my auto repair and maintenance needs. Thank you David, Lai, & team!!! read more

Great & time efficient service. Called in a day before for an oil change and to replace some rear bulbs, they set me up the next day. Got it completed in about hour & for a good price. Will definitely be back! read more

Found Phan's through Yelp and taking my cars to them was the best decision. They are honest about the work your car needs. They don't try to misdiagnose issues to make money off you. A tow truck told me I needed a new alternator and they have a friend that can do it. I took it to Phan's instead. They ran battery & alternator tests to find out everything was working perfectly fine. I felt bad they didn't even charge me for the tests they ran. Even the quote they gave me on a new alternator was cheaper compared to other places in the area. Super thankful I found them! read more

I've came here a couple times already and they have yet to disappoint. Came in first for an oil change. If you have your own oil/filter, then can use that and they'll just charge you for labor, but I was too lazy to so I just used theirs. I recently came in to get my alternator swapped on my Honda Civic. They charged about $130 for labor which seemed fair. Dropped my car off at 10AM and they called about 5 hours later saying it was ready to be picked up. So far so good. Seems like a great shop with great workers. They also seem to answer their phone quickly which is nice. read more

I needed an oil and filter change, brake fluid flush, and AC recharge and chose Phan's Auto Repair. The prices were very reasonable. They did not try to upsell me or engage in other automobile mechanic malignancies. I'll be recommending Phan's to others and coming here again. Avoid the Firestone that is in the same area. read more

Phan's Auto Repair - Oil Change service done - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

Our visit went well. Happy with the service. Bit of a wait but reasonable priced auto shop.

We recently had our Toyota Tacoma serviced by Phan's Auto repair for a rear seal replacement which is a major job. These guys were honest and transparent with pricing, and did an outstanding job. The only area they need improvement on is, communication (e.g. simple hello, updates etc.,) but I will take that all day over honesty, fair pricing, and worksmanship. read more

Phans is always great to go to, they are close to my house and get their services done quick, especially oil changes. Their prices are reasonable too. read more

Came here first thing when they opened up, and they were able to see me right away. Quick service and great pricing for oil changes. Other shops were charging double compared to Phan's Auto Repair. This is my second time coming back and I plan on continuing to come back because the service is great, the time they work on the cars is quick, and overall the service is great. read more
