My vehicle was vandalized and the insurance company said it wasn't worth saving. Long story short the vehicle became a salvage and I needed to have a lights & system check to get the vehicle approved at the DMV. Most auto repair/ smog stations do not provide this service. Trust Auto Repair is certified to do this service. I came in with no appointment and they took me right in. The car passed and TRUST AUTO provided me the PASS paperwork and the DMV processed the paperwork. The price was $200, standard for this service. I am always a little uneasy going to an unfamiliar car place, but everyone was polite and I do give them my stamp of approval. read more

Outstanding service! I took my 2018 Tahoe to Fred to do a pre check before I purchased it and he found a fuel fault and was able to fix the problem. Dont take your vehicle anyway else as these guys are the best when it comes to auto repair! And have them do a 40 point pre check for your vehicle you are considering buying! read more

They really live up to their name. Fast, affordable, reliable. Mike the manager runs a shop you can trust!

Needed to get brake and light inspection for the dmv. They were able to help me out the same morning I called. I live down by San ysidro and most places didn't have the certificate available or they were over priced. Worth the drive here. Fast and friendly service. read more

Trust Auto Repair and Body Works is the most efficient, trusted, and optimal auto repair shop in the area. Fred, the owner, and his team were super knowledgeable, skillful, and experienced.

Price for both internal repairs and bodywork were quite reasonable for such professional expert work and Fred was very honest about the estimate and work order, I was super pleased with his genuine attentiveness to personalizing services to accommodate individual customer' needs. He was very supportive in communicating throughout the work project process.

Great service from the team! Very fast and prompt on the service. I didn't have to wait to get my car serviced.

I have never written a review before, but omg this shop is amazing. I needed my side passenger mirror fixed as it was cracked and Mike answered all my questions efficiently and he gave me the best price. Everyone was quoting me about $1,000 which is way over priced and Mike did it for less than a fraction of that price and it's brand mirror as if never ever happened. Not only that, but it did not take long to get fixed thank god for shops like yours I will forever go to you if I need something fixed. read more

Me and my family have taken 5 cars to Trust and they always provided excellent service and repairs over the years. They won't overcharge you and have been the only trustworthy mechanics I have ever used. I recently messed up and brought my car to another mechanic out of weekend convenience, and I paid big for that mistake. I brought my car back to Trust and they fixed my car right away with a smile. Trust uses quality parts and will have your car ready in good time. You won't regret bringing your car here. Trust is truly a business I trust. read more

I had a great experience with this shop getting a full clutch replacement on my Evo X. Mike was quick with an estimate, friendly, up front and I feel like I can trust him. They got the car in late on a Saturday, and got the clutch replaced before 5:00 on Tuesday. Not bad for a job this extensive and needing to order parts. My final price ended up being less than quoted and I was never pressured to replace unrelated parts. Trust auto was not the lowest quote but by the end of the job were right there with the best priced shops and I doubt I would have received the same service and piece of mind elsewhere. The car is driving smoothly and I'm confident I can take it back without any fuss if I have any issues. Mike had recommended another tow company but I ended up using ASAP towing who quoted me one price and charged a higher when they arrived saying that I hadn't informed them my car was AWD when I had. I wish I would have used the tow company Mike recommended. I really do highly recommend Trust Auto. read more

went for brake and light check, failed me in five minutes, reluctantly gave me $50 of 125 back, wouldn't promise to put towards reinspection.

Excellent service and the absolutely best mechanic I have seen or ever used. Michael (owner) is a top notch mechanic and his shop is really far above and beyond all other shops I have ever used for my car (older Nissan Murano)..

The air conditioning in my car went out a few days ago, and I called and spoke with Mike the owner who surprisingly made himself available to look at my car the following day, on a Saturday..I was surprised as there regular days of business are M-F.. My husband and I arrived at the shop, and Mike promptly diagnosed the problem, a leaking hose. What I really was impressed with was his openness and transparency by showing my husband where the leak was by doing a leak test in his presence. Mike ordered the hose needed and the car was ready to go within a couple of hours. The price was very reasonable. Mike is a helluva nice guy as well as honest and trustworthy...I highly recommend! read more

The gentleman who greeted me was extremely polite. Fred worked with me on deciding what actually needed to be painted on my little 1999 truck. We decided together that painting the cab would give me the look I hoped for without breaking my budget. When I picked up the truck exactly 8 days later, it looked beautiful. The cab matched the existing paint perfectly. I was glad I went with the new headlights he suggested, which were worked into the very reasonable price. I highly recommend these guys for a quality paint job at a reasonable price. read more

Had it towed back to trust auto in El Cajon they said a piece was broke in the engine had another mechanic look at it two days later they said it was because there was a major oil leak these fuckers made the oil leak worst and never fixed the issue be careful when having major work done on your high end car here they will fuck you No I sold it took an L and got a new car I will never come back there again to little to late and like I said anyone who has a high end luxury car beware I have nothing to lie about should have just towed to Linda vista to my mechanic in the first place my mistake that I've learned from don't please save the bull shit for someone else read more

Mike the owner and his team did great work on my Ford Focus. I had taken my car to a Ford dealership for my regular oil change.

I then took the car to Trust and Mike got all the work done for 1/2 of that and my car is running like new 2012.
