Carefree Auto Repair - San Diego (CA)

June Rebecca McCaughey The guys at Marina automotive were very helpful! Super knowledgeable, so kind, and fair. Communication is great! They got me in and out in one day. I went in for a general maintenance check. They checked all kinds of things like fluids oil, tires ll, filters, breaks etc. It did not cover alignment check, but they did recommended me to go get them checked. I will be going back!

Bryan Miller Took my old Toyota in cause the check engine light kept coming on and it was running rough. I’m not too car-smart but they explained everything in simple terms and didn’t try to scare me with a huge list of problems like some other shops I’ve been to. They figured out it was just a bad sensor and got it replaced the same day. Honest pricing, no pressure, and the car’s been running smooth ever since. I liked that they didn’t make me feel dumb for asking questions. Only thing is the waiting area could use a bit of cleaning but that’s not a big deal. At least they got the job done right and quick. It’s hard finding good trustworthy mechanics nowdays, so I’m glad I found these guys. Will def bring my car back if I need more work.

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!

Rmm Hk 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.

Matthew Larson I recently had my vehicle serviced at Coastal Auto Repair, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The customer service was excellent from start to finish—their communication was top-notch—they explained the repairs in detail, kept me updated on the timeline, and answered all of my questions with patience and clarity. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their work. I left feeling confident in the quality of the repairs and the fairness of the pricing. Highly recommend Coastal Auto Repair to anyone looking for honest, reliable service!

Daniel Webster I took my 2003 Land Rover Discovery to Bowmans Garage and couldn’t be happier with the service. The team was knowledgeable, honest, and clearly experienced with older vehicles. They diagnosed the issue quickly, explained everything clearly, and got the work done efficiently. The quality of service was top-notch from start to finish. Highly recommend Bowmans for anyone looking for trustworthy, professional auto repair.

C O My moms car wouldnt start and Jeff was able to diagnose it, buy the part and fix it in less than an hour. I was very impressed with his knowledge, speed and honesty so I would definitely call him next time I have a car problem. Thanks again, Jeff!!

Edson M Amazing service! Ronsen did an incredible job fixing a few dents and scratches from my car. My car looked brand new again! Outstanding work and communication. If I ever need any work done again, I will be coming back. Thanks again!

O Key (Kyana) David and Oscar were amazing. Super educating and real about what was wrong. They got my car back fast just when they said it would be done. David was super honest about pricing and was reasonably priced compared to those commission shops feeding you BS.

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!
