T P Auto Repair - San Diego (CA)

Greg K I brought it in because I thought it might be a blown head gasket but luckily I was wrong. The problem was the spark plug wires and spark plugs. The car also needed new struts and brakes. The were very good with communication, timing, and price. I will use them from now on for all my on.

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

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.

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!

Tony Modenessi Had an issue over the long weekend with my cooling system. Leak of unknown origin. I called around as soon as shops started opening up. First shop told me they wouldnt be able to get me in for a few days and diagnostic minimum was $120. Called ASM and got Tony. Tony and team got me in same day, showed me the issue, only charged a half hour labor + parts, and had my car back to me same day. $120 and an appointment is pretty standard honestly; 5 stars to the team at ASM for going well above standard and doing it with a smile.

Titus Molina Was driving to Los Angeles I had to stop in San Diego because the car was heating up I stop by the shops and no one wanted to fix it because of weekend. I had went to 5 shops near by and everyone told me no. But l and p mobil auto repair help us out and finished it on the same day. I 100% recommend this place.

Dmitrii Pilipenko After visiting the auto repair shop for my car, I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of service. The staff demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail. The repair was done with quality, and my questions were thoroughly explained. The convenient location and cleanliness of the shop also made a positive impression. The entire process was transparent, and I felt my car was in reliable hands. The outcome exceeded my expectations—my car looks and operates as if it just came out of the showroom. I highly recommend this shop to anyone valuing quality and professionalism in auto service. Thanks for the excellent service! I also want to add that I have not met such care about customers for a long time, the guys were attentive to my problem and tried to help me, I am an old man and it is difficult for me sometimes to understand what I need, they were patient and did a great job!

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!

silly sarah This review has been a decade in the making. I have been coming here for years. They care about what they do and they do it well. Its a small business. I have tried to take my car elsewhere and just end up taking it here to be fixed after taking it elsewhere. I dont trust anyone else with my car. If I could give more stars, I would.
