“I have always felt that the only BMW you should own is one under warranty. Parts & repair at a dealership are astronomical. Driven SD is close to home, they have outstanding reviews here & on Yelp, so we decided to give them a try.
The reviews didn't lie: They are really that good. We have returned several times for repairs with great results. Their prices are very reasonable, with their estimates prior to doing the work, spot on. If there is something that they can't do, they will refer you to the right shop. That was our experience with a front end suspension issue. The BMW repair network is a valuable commodity!
We trust Driven SD to tell us what we need, with no BS, get a fair price, and the work is done expertly. We are extremely happy that we found Driven.”
“Mike is very polite and helpful. I love his energy and the employees are nice as well my truck was ready in one day. That was a surprise to me. Thanks Mike and Trust Auto Family”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100% Recommended
I brought my trailer and my truck, and they changed the trailer tire and the truck tire in less than 30 minutes, even with several cars ahead of me. The environment is very friendly and welcoming. Marcos took great care of us, and the prices are very fair. I bought a used tire and it looked brand new.
This is the fifth time I bring my vehicles to this shop, and I’m always satisfied. Highly recommended 100%.”

“Big thank you to the dyno shop and ez auto registration! Got everything taken care of with my new car in under 10 minutes, still helped me even though they were about to close, great pricing and customer service as well! Only place I’ll go in San Diego when it comes to car registration and avoiding the long lines at the DMV. Thank you!”
“I didn't have any vehicle maintenance performed at this shop, however, I did ask them to help me load a motorcycle that wouldn't start, onto a trailer trailer. They happily helped. If this is the kind of service they treat their customers, I would happily take my vehicles here”
“I’ve always felt spectacle about places or people working on my car as I’ve had bad experience in the past. Took some time to find this place after reading all the reviews.
Read the reviews and saw lots of positive feedback so o deceived to make an appointment.
Spoke to Amanda about setting up an appointment to diagnose it completely for my 1998 Toyota Camry.
Amanda called me later that day but before calling me she sent the quote via email so as we were talking I had a visual of what needed to be done.
On the quote it had a nice breakdown and even notes on the side that the mechanic recommended to do.
So we went with the repair to do the Control Arm, Stabilizer Bar Control Link, Inner and Outter Tie Rod back in April 2023.
Haven’t had an issue with it since and still have a year warranty left!
Moving forward to 2024
Over the past 2 weeks I’ve been having issues with my right back tire on my 1998 Toyota Avalon.
I wanted to be cheap and not go to an auto shop to have my rotors and brakes. A friend said they could do my rotors and brakes so I decided to move. A week went by and I started to have issues with my right back tire where it started to Noise.
I was informed that it was my wheel bearing, but I was able to still drive for a couple.
A week went by and this past weekend I started to have issues to where The noise got louder, and I didn’t feel safe Driving.
So I decided to schedule an appointment Supreme auto repair.
They had open availability within the couple days so I took Monday for the appointment.
I dropped it off Monday morning at 8 AM.
Amanda had called me back later this afternoon to inform me about the quote I receiving Her call.
They informed me that my backing plate was damaged due to the previous mechanic, changing my rotors and brakes.
She informed me that part is very rare to find due to my car being old So they were gonna try their best to Find the part.
On Tuesday, they had informed me that they were unable to locate As of as they have mentioned before, how rare the part is.
They were going to have the welder stop by Wednesday morning to see if they can repair it.
Wednesday morning Amanda had sent me the quote of the final results of the repair and give me a call to follow up.
When I stop by that afternoon, she even had the Old parts set aside for me to take a look.
Can’t express how happy I am to this place and all because of the amazing reviews and experience everyone has had so I needed to share mine!
Will be my go to place from now on.
Thank you to Amanda and her team!”

“This is the ONLY place I bring my 2021 Ram pickup, and now my wife's 2010 Subaru, for service! They are very efficient, courteous and their prices are quite reasonable. Coupons are usually always available online and are encouraged. This dealer has a wide array of offered services and they are always giving suggestions on needed services, while not being pushy or upselling products.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rodeo Auto Center is truly the best!
I had an amazing experience from start to finish. The team is honest, professional, and extremely skilled. They diagnosed my car’s issues quickly, explained everything clearly, and never tried to push unnecessary repairs. The prices were fair, and the work was done faster than I expected.
I also had some body work and a paint job done, and I was blown away by the results. The body work was clean and precise, and the paint matched perfectly — my car looks brand new again. You can tell they take real pride in their craftsmanship.
It’s rare to find an auto shop you can really trust, but Rodeo Auto Center earned my confidence 100%. I highly recommend them for mechanical repairs, body work, and paint — they do it all, and they do it right. Thanks Sam keep up the great work”

“Bobby provided amazing customer service. I received awesome and courteous service both from him, Vanessa, and Madison. Lloyd’s is the go-to collision shop with competitive prices. I suggest coming here.”
“I go here for all my automobile needs. Always professional, informative, and do a great job. Very honest too I have recommended some of my senior friends to them because I know they will make sure their vehicle is in good running order snd maintenance is up to date. So many other dishonest people out there take advantage of seniors. Just the opposite here same great service. Everyone at Caliber go above and beyond to make sure seniors get the same quality service. Won’t go anywhere else.I highly recommend them.”
“best BMW service in the game! Trustworthy, fair, and most importantly...the car stays on the road thanks to the care & guidance we receive from the team at DOSE.”
“Had a great experience at this dealership and left with a new car! James had the car out and ready for me to test drive when I arrived and was really friendly. Where the experience really went above and beyond was in finance. Mike explained everything to me so well. I had never leased before and I had so many questions, Mike went above and beyond to answer my questions (even ones outside of his finance department that I should have asked earlier) and help me feel comfortable with the process. I left feeling like I got a fair value for my trade in, my new car is great and I’m very happy with the follow up as well! I would definitely use this team again for my next vehicle transaction!”
“First and foremost, I would like to say thank you to the guys at Johns Automotive Care in El Cajon. I no longer live in San Diego, but my kids live in San Diego with their mother. My son called me up and said that he’s had a problem with his vehicle. I told him to call Johns Automotive Care, he did and Brian and the crew and El Cajon took care of him and gave him a great deal on getting his car fixed. If anybody out there is looking for a place to get a fair price in accurate repairs give them a call in El Cajon Johns Automotive Care. Once again, thank you, Brian and Johns Automotive Care of El Cajon.”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough great things about J&K Automotive! From the moment I walked in, Keith had me laughing—such a great personality—and Ken couldn’t have been kinder. They were more than fair & generous with pricing.
The lobby is hands-down the coolest with license plates from everywhere, super comfortable and full of personality. On top of all that, it turns out the owner volunteers for Santana National Little League, which just shows how much they care about our community.
They got my air conditioning running perfectly again. If you’re looking for honest, friendly, and top-notch service, J&K Automotive is the place to go!”
“I have a 1956 willys wagon, and brought it in after I had a very custom motor put in it and left with a terrible leaking exhaust system right at the headers. I drove in to kirks at 1:00 to see if this was something they could even do and by 4:00 I left with an off the chart incredible job, and you can't even see the welds. Ryan is an incredible fabricator!!!”
“MIT did a great job swapping the gears in my 2003 GMC Sierra 1500hd to 4:10s in addition to adding a Detroit truetrac limited slip differential. They were fast, very friendly, and went above and beyond with their customer service. I would highly recommend them for anyone who has drivetrain needs.”
“This is my new go to auto mechanic. They had my truck up and running in no time. Very friendly staff. Makes you feel like family. Great honest prices no sneaky side charges. Love this place and the employees that work there. I only wish I could give 100 stars”
“On 10-13-24, I made an online appointment for an exhaust leak. The appointment was for 10-14-24 at 10:15 am. I arrived early at 9:40 am and my 1997 Acura Integra was in the shop and getting looked at by 9:50 am. They advised me there was a hole in my resonator and it needed to be replaced. They installed a new Magna Flow resonator and I was driving out of Ed Hanson’s parking lot at 10:20 am. My Integra was quiet like it was new again. I received excellent service, quick installation and the price was good. Highly recommend this shop for your exhaust system needs.”
“Oscar explained repairs needing to be done, price, the time necessary to complete them, etc and then kept his commitment. I am very pleased to have found an honest repairman/shop keeper! He'll be getting our business from now on.”
“I purchased a car today with the help of Annie and Bob and they were both incredible. Annie really helped me feel at ease during the car buying process and I was able to get in and out with exactly what I was looking for at a better rate than I expected. I cannot recommend them more.”

Andrea is the perfect person to have up front dealing with customers as they check in and out!
Thank You”
“Just picked up my car and very satisfied with the service provided. Shane and Mike went above and beyond. I brought my car in needing breaks badly and when the parts took additional time they took care of a couple other misc items. I appreciate the honesty and knowing I was getting what I paid for. Won’t be taking my car anywhere else from now on.”
“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 work my truck needed was not cheap but, these guys came recommended from different sources. My 2005 6.0 Powerstroke went in with a bunch of issues, although it had to return for a second time they fixed every issue including blown head gaskets which was a big project. Originally I thought they missed a couple things but once checking again turns out it had nothing to do with their work. Waited a few months to write this review but my truck has been running great since. The mechanic David was very knowledgeable and walked me through which parts I needed to change and why. This will be the shop my truck returns to for maintenance.”
