Jinwoo Yom Abraham is kind, knowledgeable, and honest person. He always has your best interest at heart and is not greedy. He genuinely wants to help and provide you with some options on different options you have on how to fix the problem. He is very personable and always offer great and fair pricing on parts and labor. I highly recommend Abraham’s auto shop !

Felipe Peralta I found this auto shop because of its reviews on Google and I glad I did and now I am leaving a review to help them out and help others find an amazing mechanic shop like this one! I’ve been there a few times for multiple different things from oil changes to diagnosing engine problems Prices are good and they are honest people not charging more than they need to!

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!

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!

Melissa Hocanson I have a 1966 mustang that needed lots of work. It’s my daily driver now. It has been extremely challenging finding a mechanic that first would work on the car and second do a good job. Robert at John’s automotive was my first point of contact and he has been extremely professional, organized and detailed. I came in and explained what I needed and he scheduled a time that I could bring the car in - it wasn’t right away but I appreciated that he didn’t take the car until they were able to work on it. After I dropped off the car they sent me an email with photos and a checklist of things that were good and things that need work. I was very impressed I have been to a lot of mechanics and I have never received a report that detailed. Mike is the mechanic who has worked on my car and has explained in detail what was wrong, what he’s done and what I should expect. It’s challenging working on these old cars but Mike has the experience and expertise needed to get the job done. I love my car and I’m extremely grateful that I found John’s automotive otherwise I don’t think I’d be driving my car. I highly recommend this company. Robert and Mike are the best !!!

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!

Mike B Most recently, I had a stage 2 clutch installed in a 02 pt cruiser. Im very happy. I also brought my 2016 Honda Civic for an idle issue a year ago, and it has worked perfectly ever since. I have recommended friends, and they have all been happy with the service provided. David and Justin are very knowledgeable and will bend over backward to help get your vehicle back on the road and at a reasonable price

Douglas Peterson Honest and so competent. I’ve been there many times and we’re always so impressed. Highly recommended.

Dan Wooster Honest, complete assessment of your vehicle. Understandable explanation of the methods needed to fix problems. Reasonable rates for parts and labor. Its great to trust your mechanic.

Brent Got a flat right outside this shop and asked if I could use their lot to change a tire and they put my spare on for me free of charge. Will definitely be going back for regular maintenance at this shop!
