Son’s Auto Repair

My friend recommended Son’s auto repair for an oil change and I’m glad I came to check it out. I called in earlier right when they opened and they set me up for an appointment in the morning. I got here and found it right off of Clairemont Mesa Blvd, it’s a quick right turn before the Zion Market’s parking lot. The gentlemen working there were nice and quickly got working on my car for the oil change. They have a nice and comfortable seating area if you are going to stay and wait for your car. It’s right by where they work on your car, so you can see all they are doing to the car. I like the quick, efficient, honest service here and I will be back again next time if I need any maintenance on my car.

You know how hard it is to find a personal automobile mechanic that you can absolutely trust and depend on not just the first time but every time and that’s what I have found with Son’s. That’s why I have been coming here for the past 7 years. He’s not just a great mechanic but he is a great man! A man who really cares about your vehicle as though it is one of his family members cars. The great thing about this business is that they just don’t do oil changes and brakes they do everything i’ve had it all done coming to him first for an oil change and later for a complete engine overhaul as well as electronic work. He and his wonderful staff has taken very good care of me and my car over the years and I will continue to keep coming back and I highly recommend that for anyone who needs to have a great mechanic who will always be there when you need him.

Horrible way to treat a customer. I want to this shop @ 2:30 Saturday to remove one lug nut and this man says «sorry, we close at 3 and I am getting ready to close. go next door.» Maybe he just thought changing one lug nut isn’t worth it. I would not trust this man to fix anything with this attitude.

When I first moved to San Diego I was daunted by the thought of trying to find a good mechanic. All I needed was an oil change, but I read horrible reviews from other Unilocalers about those quikki places and decided to try Son’s: best decision ever.
I’ve been going there for four years now and he’s taken great care of my car. From oil changes to brake pads, he always gives me a fair price and a free estimate.
Definitely recommend!

Fair Price, Prompt service. Both of these things are fairly hard to come by in Auto Mechanics, but I’ve had good experiences every time with David. He doesn’t Hard-​sell on things I don’t need, and I’ve never once felt like I was being taken.
I tell my friends to go here.

I have been coming here with my car for the last 3 years and the service is always impeccably prompt, not to mention the reasonable prices. I’ve gotten my tires replaced here and had my struts fixed on top of the routine oil change. I would definitely recommend Son’s Auto for a no-​fuss, quality service.

I’ve been coming to Son’s Auto repair for quite some time and I wanted to write a review for his good work and honesty.
It’s not easy finding trustworthy mechanic and I would have to say this shop is it. I know I’m not going to be over charged for something here and I know he’s not going to recommend me something I don’t need. His prices are fair and his work in good.
I always come here for oil changes and for repairs.

Is this the best auto shop in San Diego? Probably.
Quick oil changes, low prices, and quality work? Yep!
Seriously. If your car has problems, ask for David. He will get the work done in an efficient manner, give you options, beam a big smile, and charge you the fairest price.
Win.

Came for an oil change (~$ 25) great and quick service!

My car failed its smog test. Another shop said I needed a catalytic converter and quoted a final cost of $ 800‑1500. My friend suggested David Son. He did a diagnostic and replaced my oxygen sensor. The final cost $ 297. He saved me big bucks.

My car was having problems starting, so I had planned to get it checked anyway. But one day I realized I could smell gas while I was driving, so I figured I should take it in right away. I took my car to Sons mostly because of it’s proximity to where I live, but from now on I’ll be taking it there because of the great service I received.
When I got there, it was pretty busy, and it was close to closing time, so I wasn’t surprised when they told me they would probably need to keep my car until the next day. As busy as it was, they still made the time to check out my car so that they could call me before end of business to let me know that I had a fuel leak at the top of my fuel pump. They gave me a quote for the labor, and an estimate on the cost to weld the leak. I ok’d the work, and they told me they would call me the next morning to give me an update.
When they called the next morning, fairly early, they let me know that the welding attempt hadn’t quite stopped the leak, so they would have to replace the fuel pump itself in order to replace the fuel lines that were attached to it. Even though they could have easily told me that it was too hazardous to drive my car with such a bad leak and gone ahead and done the work without asking (I’ve had similar things happen before), they waited until I ok’d the work before doing anything. They told me the price of the fuel pump, and the labor — which was exactly the same that they would have charged me for the «easy» fix. Even though they were going to end up spending more time on my car, they weren’t going to charge me extra for that time. I thought that was awesome.
I went to pick up my car a couple of hours later, and David insisted on showing me exactly where the leak was in the fuel line attached to my old fuel pump. I really liked the fact that he was so willing to show me exactly what was wrong so that I would understand the work they did.
I am extremely happy with the work I had done, and I am extremely happy with the service I received. I would recommend Sons to anyone who needs repairs or even just a tune up.

Wife brought car in for a fuel leak. They looked busy (lots of cars being worked on), but they didn’t hesitate and took care of the car right away. It didn’t take them long and when they were done they showed my wife exactly where the leak had been and the damaged component. They didn’t charge much for labor.
We were left with such a great sense of security that i went and brought my minivan in the very next day. I had a loooong list of things for them to check out. From struts, rear brakes to full-​on tune up. They took care of it all. And fast.
You know that warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you know you are well taken care of? These guys did a great job. We will be going back to them if we need anything. From wipers and oil change to complete transmission overhaul, they’ve earned our trust and business.

Just had an oil change done here the other day. ‘David’ was very friendly. There was no wait so they drove my car right in. Done in 10 minutes. Seating to read magazines, etc. right in eye sight of work being done (I like that). However, they didn’t do all the other tests that some lube places do (top off levels & other ’20-​point inspection’ stuff).
I got some other quotes for work that I need done and their prices seemed reasonable.
