Aarons Auto Repairs - San Diego (CA)

Jesikah Camonte My family has been going to Andy for over 40yrs. Honest shop. I would recommend anyone to go there!

Ray deKay Great experience at auto tech specialists working with Eddie. I felt very taken care of with the expertise at the center which can sometimes be a challenge with foreign vehicles like Volkswagen. 1000x better than the dealership. They were more than fair with cost estimates and had great customer service all around.

Leah Siobhan Couldn’t recommend a mechanic more than this place! Moved down from LA and saw this place had great reviews and needed a few items done to my car. They were able to get my car in super fast and have the work completed in about 2 hours. Their pricing was great but most importantly their customer service made me feel like my concerns about my car were listened to and they didnt try to add on any unnecessary work. Having a mechanic that makes me feel like I’m not getting ripped off and my concerns are heard will be making me go back here for as long as I’m on SD!

Jack Kennedy These guys did a great job taking care of my 14’ Sequoia and had it back in a very reasonable time! Thanks so much TLC! I’ll be bringing my car back again soon

Brandon M. Coldiron Honestly, I could complain about the misgivings and issues we had asking the way. But none of those are really Tims fault. I came into his shop via tow truck on a Sunday and he was closed but answered the phone and got the gate unlocked so the tow could drop off the car. Next day, we find out we need a new motor, okay great no problem we kind of expected that. We told him to fix it, go ahead and put a used motor in it. This is where the problems started. The first motor he received was very rusty and heavily corroded and therefore he correctly sent it back to the supplier. 2nd motor comes in and its installed in about 3 days. This motor proceeded to run great for 30 miles and then the car started having issues again. Brought it back to Tim and they tried to fix it but on the text drive the motor failed and threw a rod. It needs yet another motor, Tim ordered another one and had it installed in 10 days. Awesome problems solved right? Wrong... We noticed the new motor was leaking coolant 3 days after we picked it up. I took a video of the leak and brought it back to Tim. At this point Tim diagnosed it as a leaking water pump and replaced it. This man only charged us $4500 for a motor with labor and he absolutely did not make any money off of us due the issues that we experienced with the motors he got from his supplier, but he never once turned us away and he always honored his warranty. He always answers the phone and even though this was a bad situation for all parties involved we are happy to say Tim treated us right and was a man of his word. Thank you for your integrity Tim.

Dave Wanted to find a new local mechanic (Pacific Beach area) for my 2010 Jeep Wrangler. M&C Auto kept showing great reviews on sites I looked at so decided to give them a shot at the end of May 2025, when I had a coolant leak issue. They got me in the same day I contacted them, diagnosed the problem right away, which was a radiator leak. Quoted me a replacement and labor price which was way under other shops. Vincent, the shop manager, was great at showing me all that they did (system was flushed as well). Carlos was also helpful in keeping me informed of the work done. I definitely have found my new local auto shop!

Moth Project Minh is honest, straightforward, and easy to work with. I brought in my Honda Element for a brake master cylinder and really appreciated the clear communication throughout — no upselling, no pressure, just solid work and transparency. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone you can trust. Highlights: ✅ Clear, honest communication ✅ No upselling or pressure ✅ Quality work on my Honda Element ✅ Fair, transparent pricing ✅ Trustworthy and professional

Leonardo Yabu Customer service above and beyond. Honest and affordable price. Brian is a funny easy do deal with kind of guy and will get you satisfied with the service every time. Glad we found him, even thou I have to drive 20 min from my house it’s worth it. Highly recommended.

Tyson Huynh Edit 7/28/25: Just this past week I came down to SD again for vacation and was supposed to drive 7 hrs back home when I ran into an oil leak. Booked an appointment with Convoy Auto for Monday 7/28 and they were able to diagnose the issue and fix it within the day. Car ran smooth after and I made the 7 hr drive back home. Great shop, very professional and friendly. They repair your car fast and within reasonable price. Thank you once again, Joe and team. 2022: I had recently taken a trip to San Diego and my check engine light had turned on for my Toyota Sienna mid way through my trip. I found Convoy Auto near the place I was staying at and brought my car in for service. Sean and everyone at Convoy Auto were professional and friendly. Convoy Auto was able to diagnose the check engine light quickly and gave me a very reasonable quote. Very honest and trustworthy shop!

Marcus Menchago Great experience! Spoke with Mr Frey and he was completely honest with everything giving nothing but straight answers. Helped with exactly what I needed and nothing more. From the time I dropped my vehicle off to when I picked up was communicating with the shop the entire time. Also the turn around time was amazing. Expecting to not have a vehicle for almost a week he had it done within a day. Would go back and recommend this shop.
