Dualtone Muffler Brake and Alignment

Nov 14, 2024

Don't bother going there without appointment. I got sent by Discount Tire for one stud and had to wait for two hours. Not their fault though!

Can’t say enough great things about this garage. There is no other place I will take my car to get serviced. Very knowledgeable and extremely nice staff who is very transparent with you, amazing prices and never looking to scam you out of money on repairs you don’t need. They seriously took such great care of me when I needed new wheel bearings. They also got my car washed at no extra cost which was a lovely surprise to me. They are the best.

Just got my car aligned today.. although my alignment was not far off, not requiring a lot of attention, my steering wheel was cocked slightly to the left thanks to work done by a previous shop. Dual tone test drove my car three times in an effort to center in my steering wheel.. they did an excellent work, took their time and did a very thorough job. 10/10 recommend

My #1 go-to spot for any car repairs. Even for advice to find other reliable mechanics or shops! One example is my 2011 car’s A/C which had a leak in the radiator. I got a bunch of recommendations with prices even and finally went to the best one: Eskimo Air

Had a good experience here having my sturts replaced and alignment done. Good waiting room with wifi to pass the time.

Can not express how happy I am with this shop. I had some crazy wear on the inside of my front tires just 3-4 months after an alignment at another SD shop. I called and was able to get an appointment for about an hour and a half later and worked with Greg, one of the service managers there. Greg was absolutely awesome. He took the time to educate me about general alignment procedures and thoroughly explained what was going on with my car and why the tires wore like they did. In a time where big corporate businesses rule certain markets, going to Dualtone and working with Greg made me feel like an actual valued customer. He was upfront, attentive, patient, and actually had a conversation with me. I'm not sure if the place I took my car previously botched the alignment, or if these SD roads really are that bad, but from here out I'll be taking my car to Greg anytime I need an alignment or brakes. I also forgot to mention that the price is unbeatable. I got a SOLID alignment for a third of the price the dealer would have charged me. Big city business with small town vibes!

Great experience with the guys at Dualtone. Michael helped me throughout the process to get the catalytic converter replaced on my Outlander. I got to watch the mechanic do his thing because the work stations are in the front, that was very cool. I drove 8 hours after that and the car did great. I felt confident / safe about the car for the first time in a while and I'm very grateful to you. I will definitely go back for any repairs needs.

Needed a wheel alignment on my Mini! Great work, great experience and great customer service. I’ll definitely be back!

We had an excellent experience here! We came for a vehicle inspection before a private party purchase and the guys at Dualtone gave the car a super thorough inspection and gave us a very detailed report. They were so nice and professional, and the price was very fair! Thanks so much!

Greg was a straight forward kinda guy. Didn't feel over charged or taken advantage of.

I thought my car needed a new muffler so I made an appointment. They checked carefully, took their time, and it turned out it was a completely separate issue. I did not get charged. They were so considerate of my stress (anything car related destroys me), showed so much compassion and humanity, even referred me to a place where they could help me. If I ever do need a new muffler or alignment, I know where I'm going.

I was referred to Dualtone by the Discount Tire up the street, where my wife’s Tesla was getting a crack in her wheel welded. As someone who typically works on my own truck, I was feeling lazy and decided to give Dualtone a shot. Best decision I’ve made this year! I had the great pleasure of meeting Greg today at Dualtone. I’ve lived in San Diego for the better part of a decade and am kicking myself for never taking my truck here. The staff did an amazing job at fixing the camber along with an alignment and balancing on my Tacoma. I was welcomed into the shop and immediately I knew I was in good hands here. I’d like to thank Greg for the great hospitality and conversation. Next up, brake pads a rotors!

These guys are great. Greg's the man. Did a great job on my lowered Lexus GS300. Shawn

This was my first time to the shop, and it couldn't have been a better experience! I'd like to single out the excellent customer service by Angel, who was my advisor that helped me put on a new muffler and adjust the alignment on my 1978 Fiat Spider. He was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, walked me under the car to show me how the installation would go, and answered all of my questions. They even worked on the car past closing time to make sure the alignment was dialed in perfectly. I will definitely be coming back for additional services. Thanks again Angel.

Angel thoroughly helped me with my car problems and guided me when I had questions. Thanks!

I love my truck (98 tacoma) bought it new and have travelled a lot with it. I have been fighting it pulling to the right since more than 6 mos. ago...since I have a lifetime alignment with Evans, I brought it in there twice and both times they failed to fix it. At my request they checked the front end and gave me a written estimate to replace the inner and outer tie-rod ends $2,004 labor and materials included. My tech advised against it, suggesting an alignment with shims instead. I got an appointment at Duatone for today and sure enough that's all it was, runs great! They also checked front end and found no such work needed! I'm not sure what is more surprisong, finding how crooked some people can be, or how honest others are. Gregg (the manager) explained thigns clearly to me, I plan on returning there in the future, I feel like these guys are honest and they have your back, and I like that feeling!

A very good shop for automobile alignment, brake, & exhaust work. The staff is very knowledgeable and honest. Angel & Enrique were terrific. Highly recommended.

Just aligned a Toyota Camry. Dualtone did an amazing job, 100% aligned. Very good customer service.

Feb 19, 2024

This place has been around for a minute and a half. That should tell you enough right there. Nice,honest, and professional staff.

Went in for an alignment and when I picked up the car something was off. Turns out an unrelated part had worn out and the mechanic (Angel) stayed past closing to troubleshoot and resolved the issue free of the charge by the next morning. Angel and the others at the shop were very helpful and friendly.

Feb 19, 2024

Went in for an alignment only for them to charge me for an alignment and tell me my cars front camber can’t be adjusted. Shortly after, started hearing knocking when going over bumps. Just got back from the dealer who said that someone had left a ratchet strap attached to my suspension. Never going to DualTone again.

One of the Mufflers on my 4Runner rusted and fell off. They were able to fix the problem the first time I visited them and while I waited. It also was very inexpensive. I also have them work on my 1966 Jaguar.

This place is a one stop shop for all of your automotive needs! Very competitive prices and awesome mechanics!

I called in the morning, and Angel was able to get me in on the same day. Had my exhaust removed and replaced with an after-market upgrade. The whole process was smooth and painless, very professional, highly recommend coming here for your exhaust needs!

Awesome

Dualtone repaired my tailpipe and muffler which had fallen and was dragging. They were polite and efficient, taking care of my car with minimum wait. Cost was reasonable.

Nov 19, 2023

Fast, friendly, all around great service!

We had our Subaru Wheel Alignment Serviced at 50,000 miles. Everybody was nice. Quick & convenient made our Saturday that much better!

Edit: a few months later I went into the dealership and turns out I need a second brake fluid flush - it was never done by Dualtone the first time. Complete lying frauds. Do not go here. Went in to replace brake pads and a brake fluid flush. The brake job seems to fine but afterwards, my cars alignment is massively off. I am on new tires so l'm not sure how a brake pad replacement changes my alignment so drastically. I can only imagine that since I brought my own parts, and the shop kept complaining how much money they were already losing, that my alignment was purposefully set off so I would have to come back for an alignment fix as well. I'm going to have to go in anyways but you can be sure I won't be going to this shop.

Nov 19, 2023

Friendly service, good documentation, did an alignment for half of what the dealership asked for. They've been around for a long time, you can definitely trust these guys!

They were really fast with my car's repairs. Pricing was also good. Angel (mechanic) explained everything to me and was transparent and timely with my vehicle.
