“I went in for a smog check first thing in the morning without an appointment. They were kind and took me in - and were even quicker than they told me!! I’m very grateful for their willingness to fit me in and for their friendly interactions - I will definitely be going here again!”
“I have brought my pickup truck and my Mustang here and have always had excellent, honest, and timely service. This is the ONLY repair shop I would recommend. Quality parts and warranty is a huge plus! 10/10”
“Was having car issues when I found this shop, I’m not from SD so it was difficult for me to find a place to fix my car and this shop went above and beyond to get me back on the road even assisted me in getting a towtruck to make it to the shop. Very friendly and great communication. Would definitely recommend”
“I had a great experience with Miramar Automotive & Transmission. All charges were completely upfront with nothing hidden, and dropping off and picking up my car was extremely convenient. Highly recommend for a stress-free experience!”
“Yes I will be cliche and say this is an honest mechanic. The best? I don’t know. A mechanic is like a dentist or barber, you only need one. I’ve moved around a bit and met a few mechanics. This one I feel is the most no nonsense, least upsell, straight up with you. In this modern society? Gold.”
“Excellent service, super knowledgeable, superb customer care. Mike and Grant are terrific communicators, honest guys, and their pricing is fair. Am grateful I've got a great place to go!”
“Great auto shop. Everything was quick and easy. They were very thorough with inspecting my car, but were also very honest and did not recommend any repairs that weren’t necessary yet. Great experience here and would recommend”
“Fast, efficient, and all around a fantastic experience. They didn't nickel and penny me for minor problems and have the most reasonable rates by far in the area.
I always appreciate work with you all!”
“I have been going to Trinidad Motors for 3-4 years now and have always been satisfied with the work, customer service and overall experience. I am always given a break down of the car issues, future concerns and pricing. I will forever take my car/ future cars here as I trust and value the company!”
“Super professional and accommodating, would definitely recommend. Got brakes replaced, serpentine belt replaced (at my request) oil change, air filter, hole in tire fixed, air cabin filter and new spark plugs for under $2k”
“My power steering on my Acura started to go out and I happened to be next door to Elite Service Center. I realized I probably shouldn’t drive home and Eddie was able to fit me into their schedule to have the car looked at right away. It was more than just fluid needing to be topped off, Eddie emailed me over 3 options and quotes pretty quickly, explained more in detail on the phone. He was also great at communication via text over the next few days. I like how they also send you pics of the issues. Very much appreciated their friendly service.”
“I always take my vehicles here for repair because I know Tien is going to take care of me! He's honest and has reasonable prices. Always happy with the service I get here and would definitely recommend.”

“Such a great experience! He was able to get me in right away and took the time to look at my car and figure out where the sound I was hearing was coming from without charging me just to diagnose it. He showed me exactly what the issue was and walked me through everything, which I really appreciated. The pricing felt very fair, communication was straightforward, and I was in and out in about an hour with the problem completely fixed. I’ll definitely be coming back if I ever need anything else!”
“I came here for an oil change and had a great experience. The staff was super nice, the service was quick ( I dropped off), and everything was straightforward. I especially liked the way I was treated- like a person- not just one more client. I felt welcomed and the staff all seemed genuine and kind. It was my first time here and I'll be back.”
“Minh has been my mechanic since I moved to San Diego, and I couldn’t recommend him more. He is fair, trustworthy, and does excellent work. He doesn’t oversell fixes and gives you options based on actual need.
When I had some car emergencies over the last few years, he immediately took care of me. I am very grateful for his help. You won’t find a more honest or caring mechanic out here.”
“Jeff and his team are masters of their craft. They know their Hondas and there’s no reason for them to not at least them check it out! The shop always has some surprise sitting outside anything N/A, boosted, Japanese imports. Everyone is a pleasure to talk to. David helped me on call for what tool I needed to rent when I was doing a front suspension overhaul at home. Anyways when it came to the arrival of my J’s Racing extended ball joints after 3-4 months of backorder, they were happy to press them onto my two spare spindles. The price was super fair and didn’t hurt the wallet. Jeff was happy to check over my work, replace my inner/outer tie rods I provided, and an alignment. He will do everything he can to make sure your car rides exactly as new. The TSX felt more planted and rode like rails ripping through in a little loop around the shop!”
“I have taken my VW beetle in 3 times now and each time the team has always done a great job. They communicate clearly and quickly. I appreciate the prompt email breakdown quote and timely turn around time. I found them on a Reddit thread about VW repair shops in SD and I would def recommend!”
“I purchased a 2010 Toyota 4 Runner 4 years ago and brought to SD Trux to do an inspection to make sure I didn’t buy a lemon. They provided a detailed inspection sheet with pictures and status of particular portions of the vehicle that were either in good condition, needed repair, or would need service within a specified amount of time/miles. I was beyond impressed with their professionalism and mechanical and technical proficiency. I’ve now been bringing my 4Runner here for every service and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I drive to LA a lot for work and I’m almost at 200,000 miles and my vehicle still runs fantastic thanks to the service provided by everyone at San Diego Trux. Thank you.”
“Edwin is the best mechanic I have ever had x10. I recommend that all my friends go to Bowman’s. He goes above and beyond to take care of what I need. So grateful for him - he just makes life easier!”
“My son took his Jetta to get his brakes done and they did a great job. I had a brake line go out in my jeep. Had it towed there. No nonsense, found the problem. Ron found my axel bearing was bad and my master cylinder needed replacement. (I knew it was bad, it was leaking) You don’t find a lot of mechanics that are honest. No price gouging at this place. If you want a legit place to take your car, take it here. I’m a retired airline captain, trust me good mechanics are hard to come by!”
“After spending months on trying to fix my 1991 Camaro witb no luck.I gave Nick And Joe a Call to see if they could help me diagnose the issue because there is no code coming up. They had my car for a couple of weeks and where able to not just diagnose but also fix an electrical gremlin on my ECU.
Thank you guys”
“Sean, Ryan, and the rest of the team at SD auto always go above and beyond with their work. I’m very lucky to have found them during my time here. They are the best!!! Highly recommend!”
“I had a great experience all around at this shop, highly recommend! Very honest and helpful communication- feels like they really want the best outcome for you. Thanks Maxoto!”
“I'll give six stars if I can.
Great service and reasonable price. Also, they helped me to clear some of my scratches on the car without letting me know.”
“How lucky I am to have found a repair shop I can trust! August has always provided the best service and their mechanics are top notch nd well versed on luxury cars. No need to take your car to the dealer.”
“Tony was able to help us out immediately after we hit some debris and heard an object dragging underneath our car. After a (free) quick inspection, he let us know all we needed to do was replace a panel on the undercarriage. We're relieved and thankful for the speedy and honest service!”
“My daughter moved out to San Diego from Wisconsin. Rick and the mechanics were super helpful fixing the A/C after the dealership wanted 8000.00. The final cost was 1500.00. They were super honest and friendly.”
“Enrique, a very exceptional human being, the best of him, he cares about mother, no doubt, meeting someone like him, it makes my day, despite car broke down due to transmission issues, I forgot at some point I was recommended for that, he did a great job and as courtesy came back a year after to say hi, he checked my car with no charge, to make sure everything was ok, I obviously pay the check-up. He is a dedicated workin person, please use my review for future referals...keep regular maintenance in your vehicle...BLESSINGS TO USA”
“Would give 6 stars if I could. Brought my Ford Bronco in thinking I needed an alignment but their team assessed and decided against it. Talked through the options with me and there was zero pressure to fix anything right away, you can tell they want what’s best for their customers. Female friendly and very informative.”
“This place is excellent and trustworthy. Had a fantastic experience with them. Tom and the rest of the team are very kind and the clearly care a lot. I highly recommend!”
