Ive had better follow on customer service from Quicky Lube on a simple oil change. Had them throw Ohlins coilovers on my Audi, i was not happy with the ride. Instead of being offered to bring it back to discuss what could b adjusted, i was told to toss the keys in the mail slot and leave it? The preload on the rear springs was set off and someone cranked the adjustment damper knobs into oblivion and messed up the shocks, these clowns dont know what they are doing and will gaslight you into thinking they do. Never go back and im out a few grand now in parts and labor. read more

After requesting a quote from a nearby company for an oil change, I did a reality check with my dealership. I was told the quote ($264) was too high and given a referral to SD Garage. SD Garage charged $120 (cash price) and Jeff, the owner, was great. Evidently his company has extensive experience working on BMWs. I will be back. read more

Jeff and his team are the best in the area. I've used their services over the span of many years and multiple vehicles. I'm always happy with the result. read more

This place sucks, never answers their phone and bad communication. It better off going to some other shop for your car...

For these past months, I've been thinking that I was having an issue with my car but needed a 2nd opinion. I had an issue with my car performance, and I thought it was abnormal and something needed to be replaced. I was determined to get it addressed, but I was a bit lost regarding who to go to for a proper diagnosis. After hearing multiple good reviews from friends, Yelp, and even random strangers about SDGarage, I decided to give them a chance. Long story short, I did not regret my decision. When I first got in contact with Jeff and Carson, they asked me about the issues I was having with my car. I explained the issue to them, and they reassure me that they will take of it; however, I would need to leave my car with them for a couple of days for diagnosis (my car issue would appear up inconsistently at random times). I was a bit surprised at first, as other shops would usually only offer diagnose within the same day and figure out the issue. Jeff told me the plan on how he was going to tackle the issue-- he was going to drive my car as his daily for about 3-5 days to see if my car is performing as it should. That's exactly what he did, and he reported to me that that the car has no issues with the car. I was so relieved, as I didn't have to replace anything. Jeff also didn't charge me for diagnosing my car for 3 days, which is crazy. This tells me that Jeff and Carson care more about quality work and providing good customer service. As I mentioned earlier, other places would want to cash grab and get you out as soon as possible without doing a thorough diagnosis. I felt bad that they had to go through the trouble, so I ended up having them do another job (exhaust install) for me as a thank you. I was watching Carson do the install the whole time, and he was extremely careful to not scratch the exhaust. He took his time to make sure that the exhaust was aligned and installed properly. After the install was completed, he asked me if everything sounds and looks good. I was extremely happy with how it turned out, not only from how the exhaust looks/sounds but also the service. Not to mention, they offered me a very good and fair price. Nonetheless, if you want your car to be well taken care of and in the hands of car experts, SDGarage is the place to go. These guys know what they are doing, and they will make sure you leave with a running car. I will definitely come back. read more

Jeff the Owner was able to offer the latest Laser Alignment on my Scion tc for the best price. Carson worked on my vehicle autonomously and diligently. They are very professional, skillful and quick with their hands. I was shown and experience some of their amazing works in the Performance section, they really know what they are doing. A+ Highly Recommended. Will come definitely come again! read more

SD Garage - Nice chatting with Carson - Auto Repair Near Me - Escondido, California

I'll keep this review short and sweet. I had to get some work done on my BMW 340i, and I was looking around for competitive quotes, only to be found with overpriced quotes everywhere. I finally stumbled upon SD Garage by recommendation from a friend, and after chatting with them the night before, my car was on their lift the next morning, and all the work was done by lunch time. Competitive prices, they know what they're doing, and the best part is that since it is a smaller shop, you know that the person doing the work on your car is the person that knows everything, rather than a lower skilled apprentice of the shop! Would not hestitate to come back or recommend! read more

Great , reliable people when you need them, amazing work and know what they are doing very precise, thanks!

Always get great service and results for my car at SD Garage. I'll keep going back for all my automotive needs.

Came in after getting a flat tire on my 320i. Lucky for me, Jeff had an available tire size. Tires were mounted, wheels balanced and then I got an alignment. Car drives so much smoother now and also drives straight, which is a weird feeling. Guess I should have done that earlier. There's a nice lounge to wait in and plenty of things to do while waiting for the work. They were very accommodating with the schedule so thank you for that, SD Garage. They have a high-tech tire and balancing machine, which probably will save me money over the long run (MPG) and I'm sure a lot of performance guys will like their touchless tire machine. I always heard workers and employees at other shops asking if their shop had it, only to be told "sorry we don't." Thanks SD Garage! read more

I was very unhappy with this shop considering everyone recommended it. I had an appointment to have something looked at on my car. It took 4 days for them to even look at my car. Which I get they were busy, but they shouldn't have made the appointment. I continued to contact them with very slow response times. Once they figured out what was wrong it was yet 2 more days and they still had not worked on the car. I ended up taking it to another shop near by and they fixed tue same issues same day for $300 less. The communication and slow turn around time were the biggest issues for me. Also the guy who I originally talk to when i dropped off my car was kind of arrogant. Edit: Few hours after I submitted this review they had messaged me they had seen it. They didn't apologize for inconvenience, but basically complained that I had made the review. Thought it was pretty unprofessional and passive aggressive read more

Absolute legends. Always there to recommend next best steps. Nicest guys ever too. Sick shop 10/10

Jeff and Carson are great! They communicate well, are very reasonable with pricing and flexible with scheduling. They also stand behind their work with no problem at all. Highly recommended read more

These guys are great! They have great prices and do excellent work! I have taken my 2013 BMW there several times in the last few months because my car needs a lot if work. read more

The fact that this shop is only staffed by three people, and yet is by far the hardest working, most professional shop I've ever been to. Jeff, Carson and Simon are always incredibly informative about exactly what is going on with the vehicles, they offer multiple solutions and are always so friendly and welcoming. You can tell by the way they talk to customers that they genuinely care about any modifications and/or repairs that go into your car. I will never go anywhere else. Thanks SD Garage for being so amazing! read more

Turns out SD Garage has grown a bit in the last couple of years and now they offer Touchless Tire Changes, Road Force Balancing and Alignments. I went in for a tire change and had a chance to survey the machinery. This is the real deal - Corghi Master J and Hunter Road Force Elite which are the best in the business. There are a few guys that work there now, but I got the owner Jeff and Carson who together treated my wheels like fine art. If you care about your rims, you need a touchless machine. Not a lot of places have these because they are so expensive. Second, certain cars like my BMW M3 are very sensitive to having perfectly balanced wheels. SD Garage uses the full road force optimization process to ensure there is as little weight needed as possible. Finally, it is about the details - they remove the old weights and leftover glue residue, use color matched weights, have sleeved sockets to protect the paint... I love it. I got this level of quality at a lower price than some of the "boutique" shops. Superb work by SD Garage. read more

See all

Jeff and SD Garage do amazing work! If you have a BMW and need work done, this is THE place to go in north county. I've had a couple tunes installed on my M240i along with down pipes. He has worked on a couple other buddies cars and nothing but excellent work and service from SD Garage. I'm going to be a lifelong customer, well until I can afford a Ferrari. :) Highly recommend! read more

I brought my Volkswagen Gti into SD garage and Jeff was able to do a complete carbon cleaning of my intake manifold and valves. Jeff was up front and very reasonable about pricing and had a quick turnaround even though he had multiple tasks going on for the day. He gave me a quick rundown of the project and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great mechanic. read more

Jeff is super knowledgeable and an expert in BMWs. Hes a BMW guru. Knows how to fix every problem and has helped me a numerous of times when my BMW has experience problems. His price is super fair and he does it in a reasonable time. I was very lucky to find Jeff and his shop. He does everything from simple fix to modify. Highly highly recommend and he will save you lots of $$$ or you can go to the dealers waste your money and get lied to. Jeff's work is quality over quantity and a honest mechanic, which is hard to find now a days. Jeff even found some other stuff wrong with my BMW and offer to fix it for FREE while working on my car. Any other place would have charged me. I usually dont let anyone work on my cars because most do a bad job and rush it but Jeff has been nothing but great and a car life saver.
