“I absolutely love the care and attention to detail this shop provides! Brittany was amazing—her phenomenal customer service skills truly stood out. Even though I was stressed and worried about my car troubles, she managed to cheer me up with her humor and kindness, making the experience much more comforting.
The continuous updates were fantastic! Being able to receive updates via text was a huge help, as it allowed me to go about my day without worrying about missing a call. Their website is also super user-friendly, giving me a clear breakdown of charges and showing detailed photos of the damages/issues with my car. It gave me full transparency and peace of mind.
On top of all this, they managed to get my car fixed the same day! Their efficiency and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this shop—10/10, they did not disappoint!”
“Employees were so nice and welcoming! Very helpful when it came to an inspection on a vehicle I have recently purchased. Honestly was so refreshing to be treated well and like a valued customer!”
“We were able to get out car scheduled for service the following morning. Service center personnal were professional and kept us informed about required service. Service was first rate and the service center is close to my home. Glad they are part of Carmax warranty service network.”
“If you have the opportunity to abandon the dealership service model, Clifton Mercedes is the place you need to experience for critical maintenance planning and repair work. They are the consummate professionals, consistently spot on in time and cost estimations, most importantly, this team is honest. Thank you guys for the great work!”
“The customer service was very friendly and welcoming. I didn't have much problem get my car looked at after a couple days wait since I was a walk-in. However after they looked at the issue they try to hit me with the highest price. I voiced my complaint and rather immediately I got a reply to try to resolve my issue. How is very satisfied with the phone call and they're willingness to help me. Thank you for making it right.”
“A great traditional transmission shop. Family owned with a long history. My service came in as estimated and in the time allotted. Their reputation is well deserved.”

“Sam is the nicest and most honest mechanic I've ever met. The shop is clean and smells great. He did an excellent job explaining what my car needed, breaking it down in a way I could really understand. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic in El Cajon, he's your guy.”
“This place is the one and ONLY place you should be going for car repairs!! The people who work here are super honest, and was great with our vehicle. I highly recommend!!!”
“So glad I found this place for my daughter’s car. I’ve tried other places and this is my favorite. Great communication with JJ answering phone and Ron answering email. They explain everything and only do what’s needed.”
“On 9/13/2025, I brought my vehicle in for a battery and timing tensioner replacement. Antonio delivered excellent service, the pricing was fair, and I will happily return for future maintenance.”
“Fast and honest car service shop. Today, Bob found out the problem in a timely manner and suggested me to pursuing warranty from the dealership who installed the new but defective parts. Will be back for trustworthiness services!”
“Probably the most honest transmission shop you will find. 2 other places said I needed a transmission and Omar figured I didn't need one. Thank you for your help getting my Benz back on the road and not trying to shove a transmission down my throat. You guys rock”
“Claudio is such an amazing person. I have been taking my car to him since 2 years. I have always gotten an honest inspection on the car. He won’t charge me for inspection.
He would never ask me to get anything done that isn’t necessary. As a young woman, I always feel people would rip me off but I never have to give it a second thought with Claudio.
He is a very honest, hardworking person! I have a 2015 car but with his expertise, it has never given me any trouble!!
I would 10/10 recommend coming to him :)”

“Pedro repaired my 2002 Audi TT for a very fair price and he delivered it the day he said it would be done it run great I'm extreme please Highly Recommended”
“The best spot for Lexus, Toyota. Been going here for years. Always honest service at a fair price.
If you want to pay more and get free coffee then go to the dealer. If you prefer to save your money then go to Sam Lee.”
“I cannot explain how much these guys helped me in a review. Took a car in for a pre-buy inspection, and they found everything. Not only do they find everything, but they can explain it in detail. They even jacked the car up and took me on a walk through inspection of the car, part by part.
Auto Center is an amazing mechanic, that is truly on your side, and it was extremely quick. I felt so much more confident walking out of this shop about my purchase, and they gave me a 'ease of mind', that is priceless. It is honestly such a rare thing to find such a honest, and hard working mechanic.”
“Don't let the look of the shop fool you. Their knowledge and expertise show when they work on your car.
No upsell or extra unnecessary charges.
I took my '20 Tahoe and the final payment was less than the initial estimate, which they could have cared, but didn't.”
“I would rate 10 stars if I could... Brian saved us, instead of charging me thousands for my transmission he told me it was still covered under a factory warranty that I didn't even know about. Thank you sooooo much!!! Very honest and reliable business!”
“I was completely impressed with the communication on every single step tthey took to fix my car , Erick called me few times to keep me informed . For sure he is a great asset for this team..THANK YOU ERICK AND TEAM.”
“I've gone down to Chula Vista for muffler work on past vehicles but since they close early on Saturdays, I decided to try out something closer to home. The customer service at Budget Muffler was great and when I came back to have the work done, they were friendly and completed the work quickly. Enjoyed chatting with the owner, Todd, as well. Highly recommend!”
“Asmar's has been an integral part of keeping our entire fleet running smoothly. Luis is incredibly knowledgable and gets our vehicles in and out of the shop in record time. Angie is always sweet and organized on the billing side. We are customers for life - John Ciampoli Plumbing”
“We had my wife’s Toyota Corolla repaired here after an accident and they did a fantastic job on the body work and the paint. It looked like new. I was so impressed with the work that I took my new hood for my Jeep Wrangler in to have it painted and once again, another fantastic job. We will be returning for more work in the future, I highly recommend them for all your automotive needs.”
“I had to get my brakes fixed and he was awesome. He staid late to get the job done and had a very nice and polite personality. Also, a very trust worthy guy which can be tough to find when trying to get car work done. Highly recommend this place!”
“I got excellent service right out The gate Carl did a fantastic job of explaining things to me. They diagnosed the problem and fixed it all-in-one day and the service was excellent. I would recommend them to anybody and everybody.”
“Junior deserves a raise! Excellent service, great price, fantastic communication - Butler's Euro Auto Repaired my Porsche and had it back on the road in no time, I feel extremely lucky to have called this shop. Hands down the best mechanic I've found in a long time.”
“There were a lot more people working then usual two three guys. Ronnie was sort of distracted but did come through eventually and was able to retrieve the information needed to perform the service. The work was done quite quickly which was nice. Thanks I guess Ronnie and team ?????⚙️⚙️⚙️⚙️⚙️”
