Our story
Honest Auto Repair, Explained in Plain English
We're a full-service auto mechanic and body shop in San Diego, run by David and Oscar. Before any work starts, David calls to confirm the price and what needs fixing, so there are never surprises on pickup day.
We only fix what your car actually needs. When a repair is done, we line up the old parts and walk you through exactly what was wrong and what was replaced, down to the hoses and the leaks you'd never spot yourself.
Whether it's a quick diagnostic or a full inspection before a long road trip, we keep the shop detailed and clean and keep you in the loop the whole way through.

What customers say
“David's a great guy. Transparency is his forte. Quick easy service. I got my car to him at noon and was able to pick it up by 3:30 that same day. It's full service auto mechanic and body shop. Super helpful and efficient, I will come back if I ever need any car help.”
“Thank you David and Oscar for a good first experience. I was able to get my car in the next day for inspection and repairs. David was very transparent throughout the entire process. My car is driving like a brand new baby thanks to Oscar's skills and expertise. I highly recommend giving them a chance.”
“I don't know much about cars, but they explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and only fixed what was truly necessary. The prices are reasonable, and the service is excellent. We definitely trust this shop and will be coming back in the future.”
