MR Auto SD, LLC

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!

My 2013 VW Jetta had a coolant leak from the water pump. Mr. Auto SD was very honest about what was needed for the repair and offered an affordable price. During the service, they found additional leaks and fixed them without charging extra labor. There has been no leak at all since the repair. I truly appreciate Steve and his team’s honesty, transparency, and quality workmanship.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Honest Mechanic You Can Actually Trust! Mr. Auto SD has officially become my trusted auto repair shop in San Diego, and I just had to give them a shout-out. This morning, I brought in my Infiniti QX60 because of a “door ajar” warning light that wouldn’t go away. They gave me a fair preliminary quote, but after checking it out, the mechanic noticed the real issue — a tiny dent by the sensor from closing the door on the seatbelt one too many times. Instead of trying to upsell me or replace the sensor, he came up with a quick fix that solved the problem without costing hundreds. That level of honesty is rare these days! If you’re tired of wondering whether your mechanic is being upfront, go see Mr. Auto SD. They’re professional, friendly, and genuinely care about their customers.

Nice place, they are super clear and made me fell confident that I was doing the right maintenance for my old subaru. They answer questions, provide breakdowns, pricing is good. Service is fast, repair to cv axle was made but they also gave me a heads up on what other parts to watch as they were nearing their end of their span too.

Long story short this will be my new car shop to go. After driving over a pothole coming out of UCSD (iykyk) my dash started showing “trac off” and soon after check engine light turned on (2013 Lexus RX350 w/137k), the next day I came here because FREE CHECK UP on what the problem was. Know that other places and my old auto shop all said they would NEED their mechanic to do an inspection which would have costed $160+ just for the inspection. Today I brought my car in, they quickly isolated the problem, which is old solenoid needing repair (causing timing problem that misfired trac off and check engine warning) but the mechanic managed to fix it by revving the engine couple times. Then they very honestly told me since it’s old issues it’s not emergency to get it fixed asap, but they gave a quota of $624 for parts and labor (approx 3 1/2 hours) if I do want to have it replaced.
