This shop has been around for some time and the reason… great customer service and honest recommendations. I can’t thanks enough the support of the shop after I dropped my VW Tiguan for an after market camber correction lift kit. They installed the kit and make sure the car geometry and end work was correct. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

Aaron and everyone are always super helpful. They explain repairs and services in a way you understand and provide recommendations for what is urgent and what can wait. They also will recommend other shops if they can’t do the work and prepare you for cost and how to vet other shops. Definitely recommend.

Had service done for a noise that initially was identified as the shocks/springs. When I got it home the noise was still there. Took it back and did a road test with Fernando and we were baffled so I left the car. They did more road testing and identified the problem as the moon roof!!! Who would ever have come up with that. After a bit of lubricant my car is now noise free. Can’t thank them enough for their perseverance and commitment to customer service. They really are top notch and have a very happy loyal customer.

my car crapped out on me last week so I called this place and they were able to take me in as they were closing. Aaron diagnosed it the next morning, called me to tell me all the issues and gave me a very fair quote. He told me it would be ready Monday and by Monday afternoon he called me back and had it running smooth again. This was the first time I've had to get my car fixed since moving to San Diego 1.5 years ago and Aaron will be my guy from now on. He's very nice and easygoing.

Excellent and very honest service My daughter took Hyundai in for car grinding sound, they did not even charge for the diagnosis which was a starter

I truly feel like I’m getting the service that’s required and not being upsold on things I don’t need. The price is always better than anywhere else I’ve looked and repairs done timely. They always call if the estimate given to me ends up being different, sometimes it’s lower and if it’s higher they clearly explain why and if it’s absolutely necessary or a recommendation. I trust them.

Awesome guys at the shop honest

Been using these fine folks to service our car since moving to San Diego. Speedy and fair, they also let me bring my own motor oil and replacement parts. A highlight was that a windshield wiper motor part they installed (but I provided) disconnected. I took it in and they made it work again free of charge (the part was not staying connected). Really kind of them. I keep coming back, happily, and will continue doing so.

Best service, best price, they do a great job and are honest! Family owned and operated. I will continue to take my car here. For regular oil changes and maintanance, George is awesome and everyone he employs, this place is great no complaints! Always will look at something if you have a concern like I did. Minor and didn't Rip me off like most places would have.

Dan, the mechanic is very skilled and honest. I highly recommend asking for him.

Nov 19, 2023

George & Aaron are the best! Very Professional, and the job gets done right the first time. Highly recommend!

Great family owned business, run a cool father and son duo. I've been taking my cars here for over a decade. I've come across 2 types of mechanics over the years: 1) fixes what needs fixing, checks everthing else out, tells the customer what to keep an eye on/expect in the future. 2) fixes what needs fixing and EVERYTHING else that it touches. PB Foreign and Domestic is type 1) - straightforward, steady, and honest - which is why I keep coming back and I suspect it's why the same guys have been working there for forever too.

Highly recommend! These guys are the best. I had so many issues with my car and they were so helpful every step of the way. I feel at ease knowing that I have someone I can trust to take care of my car. They are honest, knowledgeable, get the job done in a timely manner. Thank you so much for your help!

I was going back home to AZ had car issues, they got me in and out same day. Amazing service

I've been bringing various cars to PB Foreign & Domestic for over 30 yrs. Once agsin, on Monday they provided the best car & customer service I have come to expect from this shop. I highly recommend them for all your car service needs. '85 Honda Accord '97 Nissan Altima '03 350z '03 Lexus ES 300 '15 Hyundai Genesis

Aaron is the man! He’s honest, not looking out for more dollars at the expense of the customer, and he gave feedback that actually put me at ease. This is the spot if you want honest, experienced, and personable people to care for your cars. 5/5.

Came here for a check engine light. The code came up as a coolant issue so they replaced the thermostat. A week later the check engine light comes on again under the same driving circumstances. A different older guy was there this time who wouldn’t listen to what I said and interrupted me while I was describing the issues. They replaced the thermostat again which did nothing to fix the underlying problem. I told them about a constant whine from the rear of the car and they said they wouldn’t be able to fix it, they just added fluid to the power steering which again did nothing to fix the problem, which was in fact a bad gas pump. Lazy and rude would not come here again nor recommend to anyone

First off want to caveat that this service was early 2021 so essentially 18 months ago pre-pandemic. I've meant to write previously but pandemic well you know. Secondly, I'd likely give them an additional half star if that were possible, just because the way they took responsibility in the end. Anyway, on a referral took took an Audi A3 3.2L in there for a 155k service and thermostat replacement. The staff and manager there were professional and friendly. They seemingly, generally do good work and here’s my experience. After picking up the car at the conclusion of service, I got about a mile and a half away when coolant temp sensor came on. Pulled over, popped hood and coolant like everywhere; the reservoir and radiator pretty much drained. Called the shop, waited at least 30 minutes (granted it was a busy Friday afternoon in PB pre-pandemic) for mechanic to show up and add a gallon of coolant just to get the car 1 mile back to their garage. Essentially they had not fastened a coolant hose properly and well boom! And as one who keeps their car in excellent condition over time (read the engine bay was pretty damn clean)... just the mess alone was tough. Anyway, they kept the car overnight and then I picked it up the following afternoon. They had successfully remediated the problem on the repair and the manager reimbursed me for the Uber and gave me a sheet for a free oil change. While they had rinsed down the engine bay to clean off the mess, there was still that coolant “smell” for a number of days afterwards, not a huge deal but did serve as a constant reminder for a spell. So overall the shop took care of the problem, but it was a bit of a mess. I have another Audi now and while I’m generally on the lookout for a good all around shop, I’m not likely to take a car back to this one. Because while they ultimately resolved the issue, it really never should have happened. I mean coolant hoses... that could be a really bad thing depending on where this could happen, I was lucky I was just in a residential area. I never utilized the free oil change either but it’s likely just because of my experience, and not that they're not a capable shop. The takeaway here is if you need a decently good shop, give them a whirl just double-check the work.

Great Service. Great pricing for labor and parts for Audi's battery replacement!

I have to say a miracle happened in my life today, to coincidental to say otherwise ! More than half of the total cost for repairs was covered for me from the nicest man with a kind heart. It would have never happened had I not gone to PB Foriegn & Domestic. Amazing group of people over there!!!

If you want a local independent family owned car mechanic that is honest, trustworthy, reasonably priced, and not trying to nickel & dime you these are your guys! Aaron is especially a pleasure to deal with. He went above and beyond at my last oil change to help me on a few things that would have taken tons of time to figure out on my own, you can tell he enjoys helping people (when they aren't too busy) and is just a personable good natured guy which is so great to have in a car mechanic. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Nice people

Nov 19, 2022

No doubt the best auto repair business in town! Was referred to by a friend and have been there ever since I move to San Diego. I previously went to see other auto repair shops and they always seem to be pushy on adding on. PB Foreign & Domestic Car Repair are honest and will offer you the best price. I'd refer clients, friends and family! Thank you!

Nov 19, 2022

So accommodating! I called all over town and they were the only ones who would do the work the way I wanted it done. So nice and so earnest! Good people.

Took my Ford Fusion Hybrid in for an estimate on a gas fill problem. Told me to take it to dealer, might be covered since it's an emissions prob. Turns out he was correct, no cost repair! Could have milked me but didn't. Highly appreciated their honesty.

Nov 19, 2022

Very helpful

Nov 19, 2022

We really love PB Foreign and Domestic! They have served us well for years on 3 vehicles and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend over dealership or other local facilities. They don’t try to upsell you on things you do not need. Super friendly and can usually get you in within a day or two. It is best to call ahead and make an appointment.

Good prices & service
