Excellent service. Highly recommend. Shawn is great.

I have used Tune Craft for around forty years, and have never found a better repair service. Great friendly service at a reasonable price.

Okay so this review is over due.. but I needed brakes on my car. Called them up, spoke to Shawn and we made it all happen without even meeting. We work the same hours so the after hours drop off was great. He did great at communicating (they even text) and before you know it I had my car back. They do honest work here, I got my brakes before the flooding and that other storm we had earlier this year and my car handled like it always does. I would recommend them and I’ll be using them in the future if I need anything else.

Just had a great experience at Tune Craft! I’m new to the area. After reading great reviews about Tune Craft and Shawn (the owner), I decided to bring my car in for a brake inspection and possible brake service. Shawn informed me that I still had plenty of life left on my brakes. Other shops may have tried to take advantage of the situation, however Shawn was completely honest about the inspection results. On top of that, there was no charge for the inspection. I am so glad that I found Tune Craft. I will be back for any future service needs.

Perfect Service. Got me in 4 days faster than anyone else I called. Personable and very friendly service. Got the job done quick and very inexpensive. I came in for a window that was off track and opening like a Lamborghini door... LOL. It now works as good as new. They got me in and out and for about 1/3 of the price I expected to pay !


May 19, 2024

Super profesional, honest and knowledgeable. This is the right place!


Apr 19, 2024

Shawn has a great business that he runs professionally and efficiently, have used his services twice, was very satisfied both times.


Apr 19, 2024

Thank Goodness for Tune Craft! Tune Craft is honest, knowledgeable, and reasonable. I love having a mechanic I can trust. Finally!

They sold my phone number to telemarketers. Unforgivable.


Mar 19, 2024

I’m in awe of the fantastic job that I received from Tune Craft. We drove our PT Cruiser from Michigan 11 yrs ago and it is still in excellent working condition thanks to the mechanics and staff. I highly recommend Tune Craft to everyone who needs TLC for there car


Feb 19, 2024

Hidden gem and i will be back again


Feb 19, 2024

My experience with Tune Craft has been outstanding. Shawn's dedication to his customers is unparalleled, and his genuine care beats out any competitor or dealer. I wholeheartedly recommend Tune Craft and wish I could give them 100 stars for their exceptional service. In an era where authenticity is often elusive, Tune Craft stands out for its transparency and integrity.

Was fortunate enough to have the check engine lights turn on with a concerning amount of white smoke coming from the hood direct across the street from this autoshop (it turned out to be the radiator, which had to be completely replaced, an issue that occurred in the past. A total loss of coolant as well). Very nice people, as an Autistic individual with problems talking to people, they were very respectful and informative without needing me to state otherwise, both through call and text, invoices were speedy and notified of change, i thoroughly enjoyed this experience as it was my first major car problem. Prices were rather respectable considering the severity, I would tip if i had the capacity to do so, i was surprised and glad that there was no fee for overnight parking, one reason why i would recommend this place, for any neurodivergent individuals these are the kind of people these people that are able to help, due to the good reviews (4.7 out of 5 as of this review) it is apparent that they are often busy, but they are still able to get the job done in a quick and orderly fashion. As a final course of action, they recommended what other steps to take to ensure the maintenance of my vehicle. Personally this was a very positive experience and i will return to them if possible. Thank you for your services Shawn, I wish you good fortune Kevin T

We have been taking our vehicles to Tune Craft for years and he is literally the most honest mechanic I’ve ever met. We recently took our car to another local shop for an oil change and it was a terrible experience. The get you to their facility only to bait and switch you and attempt to charge over $1500 to replace the transmission. We declined and took it to Shawn at TC and he replaced the clutch only for $675 and took care of the oil change. He will tell you frankly what needs to be done and not try to upsell you like other shops. We now have 3 cars we have them service and encourage all our friends to utilize him as well. If your vehicle needs maintenance don’t delay and go see Shawn, you won’t be disappointed.

So happy we found Tune Craft! As many have said, Shawn and his crew are great! We've had a lot of bad luck with our cars lately and he's not only repaired them but fixed what other shops had not. Tune Craft fixed and cleaned what another shop in west El Cajon had done. Couldn't be happier!


Nov 19, 2023

Always honest and fair. Prices are great and they always show you exactly what they’ve done to the car before and after. Easy to pick up and super friendly! Seriously the place to go got any and all car trouble.


Nov 19, 2023

Fixed my air conditioner and a week later freely rechecked that it was working properly and there were no other leaks. Thank you for the great service provided.


Nov 19, 2023

Honest, knowledgeable, friendly, fast. Great auto center


Nov 19, 2023

Honest, professional, been coming here 20+years with several cars and various types of repairs. Family business, Shawn has his boys working there now. Always explains what’s going on, shows you the old/broken parts is AAA Approved and get you back on the road in a timely manner


Nov 19, 2023

If you're looking for an honest and professional car mechanic I highly recommend Tune Craft. I wish I had found them sooner to save me from the worry and frustration I had experienced before.


Nov 19, 2023

Knowledgeable, professional, and excellent costumer service. I highly recommend this local business.


Nov 19, 2023

My whole family uses Tune Craft, 7 cars in total. I don't trust anyone else with the maintenance of our vehicles.


Nov 19, 2023

Pleasant, professional and honest. I have nothing but good things to say. A very well run business!


Nov 19, 2023

Shawn and all the staff at Tune Craft are very professional. They explained in detail the problem with my Kia Soul and gave me options and estimates on the cost. I'm happy with my experience and I would recommend it for anyone who needs their car repaired or routine maintenance done.


Nov 19, 2023

Super friendly staff and fast service. Mechanic(s) is very honest and will tell you exactly what is up with your car, they won't try and sell you extra work or parts just to make money. Will be back again the next time my car needs a check up.


Nov 19, 2023

The BEST in San Diego. I have been going here for years to get my car tuned up. Today I popped a tire on those horrible potholes on Clairemont drive, and immediately pulled in. Once I have my spare, the very kindly fit me into their very busy day, replace the tire with the spare, all for free! They are incredibly kind, have candy for their customers, and a great attitude. I recommend them to EVERYONE!


Nov 19, 2023

This is the best auto repair place ever!! We have had repairs done on on our 2 cars over many years and are never disappointed in any way. Shawn and his crew know autos and trucks. Repairs are done properly and timely. Costs are always reasonable for the work done. I'll continue to bring cars their way without hesitation! Many thanks, Shawn!!


Nov 19, 2023

This repair facility is truly wonderful. From the moment I dropped my vehicle off, Shawn kept me fully updated on the estimate and repair status. This is a hidden gem in San Diego and I highly recommend bringing your vehicle to this shop. The prices are great and the service is fast. I couldn't be more satisfied with my overall experience. Thank you Tune Craft Auto !


Nov 19, 2023

100% Honest and Service Oriented since 1994 when I first took my vehicle to Shawn Meyers at Tunecraft at Clairemont Drive and Balboa Avenue. All those years and many vehicles later, Shawn and his team continue with excellent service, great expertise, honesty and fairness. Quite something in this day and age! Even a rating of 10 stars wouldn't be enough


Nov 19, 2023

About 1/2 the price of a dealership for quality work. Using TuneCraft for my automotive service needs is a no brainer.


Nov 19, 2023

Always reliable and honest.


Nov 19, 2023

I pretty much always deal with Shawn when I come in. We've had both my wife and my vehicles repaired within the last month. This is the place to go without a doubt. Honest, open and very clear on what repairs are needed. They don't squeeze you for a bunch of things that you don't need but they do let you know what should be looked at in the future. I truly appreciate the confidence I have in their work as we are frequently on the road and I don't have to worry if the repairs were done right. Thanks again guys we'll see you next time.


Nov 19, 2023

Worst shop I’ve ever been in San Diego ! Really rude person at the door pretended to charge 155$ then charged 1,500 to fix the air he is a scammer for sure what a horrible experience !


Nov 19, 2022

As always, I'm very impressed by the service provided by Tune Craft. Sean was very professional and direct when I took my car for repair. I like the fact that you can drop your car the night before. Also, there are no surprises on the bill.


Nov 19, 2022

Fair prices. And honest
