Cliff Brown Automotive

I only recommend calling this business if you want to deal with rude, low class people. I would not do business with them based on the experience I had today.

Very impressed. As a person that is new to San Diego and a female I was nervous when my car had issues. I brought it to Cliff Brown to look at and determine the issue. They charged me very little (10 dollars) to look at and diagnosis. Then they helped me get the best deal on fixing my starter. I had a warranty on it and actually ended up getting it fixed for free at another location because of their help. Cliff Brown employees treated me with respect and kindness. They helped me get the best deal even though it didn’t benefit them. Highly recommend! I am very grateful for there help.

I’m not sure the name of the gentlemen helping me but he was super helpful. Came in the morning to get an oil change, some new parts that broke, and an air filter replaced. It was really affordable and I know other places would’ve charged me double the price. It was all done in the same day too and he called me multiple times to keep me updated throughout the day!

My 20 year old Tundra was starting to run rough for the 1st time ever. Worst case bad valve, and or bad spark/air components Can't say anything bad about CBs crew. Dropped in without an appointment this morning, diagnosed, bad parts shown to me, no hard sell, all replaced, quote very affordable and on point, all done within the day, ready to run tough and smooth for another 20. Thank you, thank you thank you

Barry and his team should be rated at 10 stars! Brought my car in yesterday and it was not due back until Tuesday. My parts came today and the car is running awesome! I will return to Cliff Brown for future services but hope to not need any soon though

Great service. Very friendly. They gave me a quote and I paid less because they said it ended up costing less. It's VERY hard to find an honest mechanic shop. Quick turnaround time too!

SHADY SHADY SHADY. This shop had my car for almost a month claiming to have had fixed all these things and still never fixed it, in the end just decided that they couldn’t fix it and I needed to take it to the dealership. worst part of it all is that one of the other mechanics accidentally slipped up and told me that everything that was claimed to be fixed wasn’t being fixed the whole time . Barry is truly a piece of work don’t let his friendliness fool you, he’s money hungry and disrespectful. $1100 wasted for a problem that never even got fixed , beware of this shop .

I started going to Cliff Brown Automotivw about 3 years ago and have an old car. I have been very happy with every aspect of this auto shop! The quality, the pricing, the workmanship, the customer service, the staff’s responsiveness to my questions and mechanical issues have always been met with positivity and a yes-attitude! So nice to see customers treated and valued! Barry rocks!!!!

I was so impressed with this auto shop. I was in town house sitting for my son and found out his car’s brakes were bad. I called this shop that was a block away the afternoon I got into town and they told me to just bring it right over. The car ended up needing front and rear brakes as well as new front and back rotors and they were able to get it all done for me to pick up the next morning at 8:00 am. Customer service was amazing- so friendly, professional and reassuring! Highly recommend!

Had an emergency repair. The next drive the car broke down. A new mechanic took a look at it and said they basically didn't fix the problem.

Nov 22, 2020

I had them do a lot of electrical on my old Chevy trucks also exhaust and they did a wonderful job. I would highly recommend them they are very honest and the work they do is very clean.

I just went to this place and i was told they do not install customer bought parts. But actually me and my wife has been to this place before and they installed a part we bought a few months back. So all i am saying is do not go to this place of business because they obviously lie to customers or they have favoritism. My name is Steven Bond and i just visited this place today 9/1/20 and went there around 11:30am to 11:45am so whoever was working between those times which was an older asian gentleman needs to be fired or reprimanded and i did get my thermostat that i bought installed today 9/1/20 from a good business and his name is HAIGS complete auto repair 3750 University ave. Please do not go to this shop and go to Haigs complete auto repair thank you

I love the preventive work they did to my car and my car runs great. It was a bit more than I expected to pay but the difference is having someone with experience perform the work.

Nov 22, 2020

I was in San Diego on a vacation with my son. My car started over heating and I called cliff auto and came right down and Barry stopped what he was doing to help my son and I get back on the road. Barry was very kind and very helpful. I cannot thank him enough for his help and honesty fixing my car. I highly recommend Cliff auto for your car needs. Thank you Barry!
