Absolutely amazing service. Matt is knowledgeable, doesn't upsell, and most importantly is completely honest. I am on a tight budget so I'm already apprehensive about taking my car in but Matt has always been cool about letting me know exactly what needs to be done to keep my car running and what I can wait on. He's also willing to explain just about any problem and show you why certain work needs to be done which I find to be super comforting as someone who knows next to nothing about cars. I would absolutely recommend them... read more

Matt is so knowledgeable about cars, and I appreciate that he takes the time to explain the issues with me. Tom is also very patient with me, and explains things well. I appreciate all their hard work.

Brought my van here about a month ago. Paid 1300 for radiator and 100 for the inspection. Not sure if it's because I am a young student or because car is not in great condition, but I was told nothing about what was wrong with my car and they showed/explained me nothing about what they did/changed. They just left my keys out and told me I could grab my car. So now my car is still leaking and over heating. I know it's my own fault too for letting myself be brushed aside (not asking to see the work that was done or an explanat... read more

I was referred here by a friend of the owners and was so happy with how my experience went. I had a broken hose in my cooling system and Matt and his team got right on it. I was scrambling to not miss a ton of work and the guys had the parts and repairs knocked out within a few hours same day. I really appreciate their work ethic and understanding of my urgency with the repairs. I was afraid I'd be dealing with a rental for multiple days over the weekend anywhere I went but they worked so fast I didn't have to stress about t... read more

I used to come here with my '94 Mitsubishi vr4 when I lived in Mission Gorge and Matt and his team always did excellent work and treated me like family. The time came to sell my aging car, so my wife and I saddled up with new vehicles and as I do my own basics (oil/rotate tires, etc) did not have a need for a regular mechanic yet. Six years into my wife's Toyota Corolla ownership we noticed the front suspension was rough and noisy. Like a fool we had Toyota look at it (for a fee) at the same time as a free factory recall it ... read more

Matt is a reliable trustworthy and knows what he is doing. Small parking lot, but service is excellent. Make sure you call first to schedule your car services. I get my smog check here and other maintenance services. I would recommend this business.

I believe Matt and his team are one of the few honest car mechanics out there. For example, I was going to be charged over $1700 for a 100k service tuneup at a dealership. Without sharing the price to Matt and explaining what I needed done, I was quoted less than a third of that price. He's upfront with you and frowns on dealerships charging exorbitant rates. He was also able to get the job completed in the time agreed. We live in Chula Vista but will gladly travel to his shop at Allied Gardens to have our car serviced. Than... read more
