TLC Auto Repair Inc. - San Diego (CA)

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.

Scarlette Pierre Excellent customer service! My experience here was great. My car was serviced quickly, and I will be coming here in the future for any issues with my vehicle. I highly recommend this place to have your car fixed!

denise horsley I was very happy, they fixed my air conditioner that had a leak in it. It was fixed the same day. Very reasonable and super nice. Best of all they are trust worthy.

Cara McMahon Marvin and Eric are really the best. These fellas are honest, friendly, dependable, and value customer service. The prices are incredibly reasonable. Their team do a great job and are equally nice. Its the most pleasant experience that I have found in automotive care. I have no complaints and I am an ongoing and returning customer. I dont generally write reviews, thats how strongly I recommend this small business! Support small business!

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.

P Ray First time experience here at Stress-Free and I gotta say theres very few establishments that actually live up to their name nowadays, and Stress-free is surely one of them!!! I came in to bring my Tesla Y for alignment and the quote that I was given online was way cheaper than it actually cost but the guys at Stress-free took care of me and honor the original quote. Not only that, they got me a lyft to bring me back home knowing that my car will take few more hours. I gotta say, I havent had a service like that in a while!!! To all the guys at stress-free please keep up the great work! I really appreciate how you guys took care of me! 1,000% Highly recommended!!!!

brendon rugg I can’t recommend DC Mobile Auto Repair enough! They recently came out to work on my vehicle and took care of my brakes (with a 2-year warranty on both rotors and brakes!), a smog check, oil change, and replaced my air filters—all in one visit. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and efficient. You can tell they truly care about their work and their customers. What impressed me most was not only the quality of the service but also how affordable and fast they were. It’s rare to find a mobile mechanic who checks all the boxes, but DC Mobile Auto Repair absolutely does. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who comes to you, gets the job done right, and doesn’t break the bank, this is your go-to. I’m beyond satisfied and will definitely be using them for all my future auto needs!

Jarrod G This shop was recommended to me by another mechanic. When one shop told us our vehicle needed a new motor, this shop said “no you don’t!” With a little patience they proved it, and were able to revive our truck’s motor making it purr like a kitten and run like new. Sometimes it just takes experience instead of somebody, throwing their hands in the air and saying I can’t do it. This is a place I will continue to refer people to, and bring cars to. I run a classic car business, and it’s always good to have valuable, trusted, honest service.

Johanna Hill JT we want to thank you for your great service my husband Keith and I are so happy to have found your shot. We went from getting serviced for a flat tire to getting both of our cars fixed within the same week and we couldn’t be more pleased with the service, the honesty, the price, and just the overall service. We will definitely be bringing all three of our cars here for service whenever it is needed and again we want to thank youfor being so honest and helping us get our cars back on the road within a timely matter. I wish we could give it 10 stars.

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.
