Very Nice service, went there for several repairs already. The owner David is very patient, he inspected carefully and explained everything very clearly to make sure I’m well informed and understanding the issues before taking any repair or maintenance action. He put customer’s safety and real needs as top priority. Will definitely go there again for future repair and maintenance needs.

我的車子發生嚴重的故障，因此網路上隨便找了一間評價好的修車廠。 因為我是學生，我特別跟David說請他只修必要的部分，如果是其他還堪用的就先等一等。David 因此還給我了一個學生折扣，並也了解我的需求，在合理的價錢之內盡可能把所有的地方都照顧好。 修完之後車子比我剛買這台二手車的時候，開起來還要順，真的非常謝謝David

My family has been San Diego Auto Care Center many many years. David, the owner, always brings professional and knowledge service to us and everyone that we refer it. Highly recommend it.

This is the only shop I trust in SD. I’ve been here multiple times and they have been honest and always done a good job on my vehicle thank you guys for your work🙏!

Had a great experience. Did what he said he would found the problem quickly. Would highly recommend.

After we moved to San Diego 3 years ago, we always have our ours serviced and repaired by Dave. He is honest, always gives a fair price and won’t let you do unnecessary fixes. We are really satisfied with the work. And I always recommend this place to my friends.

I've been bringing all of my family's cars to David for years, and his work is always top-notch. He truly cares about his customers and takes the time to explain everything, which I really appreciate. David is not only incredibly helpful and fair, but he also ensures that we always feel well treated and in safe hands. I couldn't recommend him more highly!

I have visited the store twice for some small fixes. David is very patient and honest. He always listens to my concerns, takes the time to explain the process and all relevant details to me, and overall takes great care of my car. The price is fair and transparent - David makes it very clear what is urgently needed to be done vs. suggestions for future maintenance and care. I feel heard and respected as a customer. Highly recommend this place!

I was referred to David at San Diego Auto Care Center from a friend. Not being well versed in the auto world I emphasized that I wanted to go to someone that would not take advantage of me and over charge everything. David was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He not only had fair pricing but took the time to explain what he was doing and why it needs to be done. He broke it down for me to easily understand and wasn't pushy to get everything done at once like some other mechanics. My friend and his family have been going to David for years and I see why. I will be going to San Diego Auto Care Center moving forward for all my car repairs and up keep. I recommend anyone to go to him too. Thank you David!

The short and sweet: David’s pricing is great, he is incredibly knowledgeable, has great communication, works quickly, and is not only thorough but goes above and beyond for his customers. David’s shop is located in the back lot and not immediately seen when you enter, but is worth visiting. As someone who doesn’t know much about cars, getting work done is stressful and I usually have to call my dad frequently to avoid getting taken advantage of… BUT DAVID IS AMAZING. I actually felt comfortable and confident dropping my car off without calling my dad. David listened to my concerns about my car, explained possible problems, and explained the process of getting my car repaired. He explains everything clearly and in a way that makes sense to even me. His communication is top tier and is very honest. Not once did I feel like he was trying to up-charge me. He was clear in what should be addressed for safety reasons and what I could come back for in the future. He constantly tried to find solutions and the best deal to help me fix my car without breaking the bank. He was also willing to go on a side quest to get my wheel unlocked at a dealership since I lost my wheel lock key. He ended up finding my key and putting it in a pouch so I wouldn’t lose it again. He sent pictures to help explain why parts needed to be replaced but also provided alternative solutions if I couldn’t afford or didn’t want to repair it. My dad actually asked me to thank David on his behalf for taking such great care of me and my car. You can tell David is a family man and skilled professional who takes a lot of pride in his work. I never thought I’d say this about an auto shop but I will 100% be returning for any and all future car needs.

Amazing service and highly recommend! David broke down everything in detail and the communication was great. He is an honest man, extremely helpful and answered my all my questions. I will be definitely coming back. 10/10

San Diego Auto care Center is good business! I had a very honest transaction the pleasant owner David Daou. Answered my phone call when I was in. I needed help and even on a Sunday evening he returned my call. He diagnosed the issue within 12 hours of my car being delivered by tow truck. He really helped me out when I was stranded, my car had broke down.

Sep 19, 2024

Phenomenal shop, David got me in and out very quickly, and fairly. Had to get brake pads replaced, he explained the process very thoroughly and all my potential options, at very fair prices. No extra ridiculous fees, just straight to the point, and genuinely cares about his customers and professionalism. Also, came in from out of town and it was very clear that even not as a local, or returning customer that I was getting fair and honest treatment, something I have definitely not encountered other auto shops. Beyond impressed with this shop, David’s customer service and the repair work done!

Sep 19, 2024

Spoke with a guy on the phone and was very rude. I just needed clarification and he kept on cutting me off. Kept being rude and in the end, he didn't even answer my question.

Sep 19, 2024

Very professional attitude, very quick to solve your problems

Aug 19, 2024

10/10 would recommend! I was referred by a friend about this shop and it was an overall great experience. David and his team were quick to diagnose and repair my car. I appreciated the great communication and updates about the ongoing work. David was also able to soundly explain his methodologies and gave me advice for moving forward. This shop does honest and great work! Thank you David!

Aug 19, 2024

David is an awesome mechanic and truly appreciates the customer’s business. 09 accord was leaking coolant and David fixed it in a couple hours. Thank you very much Sir. Keep up the great work.

David and his team at San Diego Auto Care Center have been taking care of the vehicles in my extended family for years. They offer professional, quality service at a fair price. David is very thorough about letting you know what work your vehicle needs done, how much it will cost and if it is an urgent issue or something that can be done later. He is very communicative and will always let you know if they discover any issues with your vehicle that need to be addressed. I was recently in a minor accident and David was the first person I called to ensure my car was safe and roadworthy. My family and I all highly recommend David and San Diego Auto Care Center for your auto acre needs!

I was looking at a used, late model vehicle at a dealership. The dealer, however, wanted me to go to another close by dealer to have the car checked out. I did not want to do that. I found this place online, read some reviews, & took it in. David was very knowledgeable & thorough. For a reasonable fee, he checked it out & pointed out a couple areas I needed to be aware of. One was even unreported/noted undercarriage fender/bumper damage I hadn't seen that had been half repaired & was not on carfax. Thanks to David, we were able to negotiate a lower price & now plan to bring both of our vehicles to his shop for all maintenance/upkeep.

Jun 19, 2024

David and his team were very helpful and kind!

Jun 19, 2024

Great service. David broke down what they were going to look for before they started. Once they found issues he was upfront with what the costs and did not pressure me to do anything. Exceptional service and next-level efficiency. Its affordable too, with the final price I paid being about $400 less than what Firestone projected. This place is a must of you have any issues or questions about your car.

Jun 19, 2024

I’ve been bringing my car here for years. David always provides excellent service and advice re my car, giving me realistic timelines esp when I’m on a time crunch. My side view mirror was shattered and he was able to take my car in to give me a temp fix until a replacement arrived so that I could drive my car around.

May 19, 2024

I would really recommend this place. David was great and very helpful. He explained everything in detail, which was very useful for someone like me who isn't knowledgeable about cars. I ended up needing more repair work than I had initially intended, but at each step of that process David did a great job of explaining what he had found and what the implications of each issue was. Definitely I prefer this place to having to deal with a bigger auto repair shop where the mechanic won't be able pay as much attention to you.

May 19, 2024

Very friendly and great service! Ignore the two places in front, they’re just as expensive with not as good work. I’ve been recommended this shop by multiple people and I wasn’t disappointed. They’re so quick and nice. I was in and out in no time. Call ahead and they’ll get you in asap. Thanks again!

May 19, 2024

David has been very helpful for my 219K mile Toyota Corolla. I had to leave my car in the shop for over a day and was very communicative from my initial visit to the end. Also, he was direct with what I absolutely needed to be fixed and didn't give me any runaround. The prices he charged me for seem to justifiable and fair, when compared to other auto shops within the San Diego area. If and when my car has trouble again, I'll make sure to go back to San Diego Auto Care center.

May 19, 2024

David is my new favorite person! Stumbled upon this place when my car died near Montgomery airport, and so happy that I did! I will be coming back for all future services. My car was towed to David's shop and he stayed open late to receive my vehicle. The next day, he was super helpful and knowledgeable, explaining the issues with my car and provided a fair estimate on what was necessary, as I was on a tight budget. He also kept me up to date with progress on my car via text message which made communication very simple and quick. David, and his shop, were the silver lining to, what otherwise would be, a bad day.

May 19, 2024

David was a huge help in getting me situated for a smog test. Checking my cars monitors and going above and beyond every other auto shop I’ve been to in the past. Will always be returning here for future services!

May 19, 2024

Definitely a 5 star!!! David has been serving my 17 year old plus white outlander for the last 8 years (my mileage is --- drum roll--- at 357K and counting. He has done an absolute wonderful job in keeping my car in good running condition. He charges very reasonably. When multiple things need to be repaired and money/budget is an issue, he will let you know what repairs are very critical to be done first and how soon you should get the other repairs done. He is not like other mechanics who will use scare tactics wherein you should get ALL the repairs done even if some repairs can wait and won't compromise the running condition of the car. Best part of David's auto car service is his warranty and just his willingness to answer your questions to help you make a very well informed decision. My car is now back in the bay area and David told me to just call him before I get any mechanic to fix my car so he can give me good advise. I want to also give big kudos to his mechanic Oscar. He does a great job, too! Always smiling and very professional.

Had to take my Prius in to get a diagnosis on my hybrid battery due to a warning light that recently went on David immediately greeted me and got my car into the shop right away He was able to tell me in great detail about what happened during the diagnosis and was able to get me back on the road fast David was also extremely transparent with me about what I needed and what I didn't need for repairs and maintenance And I really appreciate. There aren't too many mechanics who will do that nowadays Thank you again for the superb service!

May 19, 2024

I've been coming to David for about 5 years or so. Always honest about his work and service. I trust him implicitly with my car! You can too!

May 19, 2024

I’ve been going to David’s shop for multiple years now. I’ve had a fantastic experience every time, I highly recommend this shop!

May 19, 2024

I’ve been taking my car here for a couple years and will continue to do so- David is great at explaining what’s wrong and how he plans to fix it!

Apr 19, 2024

David did amazing work on my car with a very reasonable price. I am happy with the results. I would highly recommend and will definitely come back if needed! Very glad I found David to repair my car!

Apr 19, 2024

Mr. David Dao is an educator at heart. He will take the time to explain everything that needs to be done or what was done to your vehicle. At SD Auto Care Center you will get what you pay for. David has been refining his craft for 25 years so he and his other mechanic are very reliable. I recomend them to you!

Apr 19, 2024

This is a real mechanic shop. David is 100% honest and will work with you to meet your needs. He will explain how to solve any issue, show you before and after, and keep you updated during the repairs. I recommend this place to anyone. You will not get ripped off. Best service
