Best brake shop in San Diego, California (CA) 2025

After getting a $10k quote from the dealer in Carlsbad for my transmission repair and a host of other repairs that were unnecessary, I took my 4Runner to Sam who diagnosed the issue promptly and gave me more than one option to repair or replace my aging transmission. He was honest, upfront, and on time with his quote and services, actually ahead of schedule on the repair. Sam charged me exactly what we agreed upon and was a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend anyone to him for any service he offers. Thanks again Sam for the amazing experience I had working with you and your team getting my 4Runner back into good working order.

I’ve been meaning to leave this place a review for a year now. I took my Prius here for 100k service + to fix my front window sprayers, which had stopped spraying for over a year. I’d tried my best to unclog them myself to no avail. So imagine my surprise when instead of just replacing both and moving on, they managed to unclog one without the need to replace it. I was so stoked — obviously it saved me money but also better for the environment not to replace something if it can be repaired. It was such a no nonsense and hassle free experience, honestly my first as a young female going for car service (example - the dealer has, twice now, suggest I replace my “dirty” cabin/engine air filter literally days after I replaced them myself). I just really trust the TLC team and look forward to bringing my Prius here for the rest of its life. Thank you so much! ~Brittany

I was hesitant at first, I thought it might be too pricey, but this station would be most convenient for me to get the work done at. I talked with Scott and he quoted me a price on a new starter motor. I called around to four other shops. All gave roughly the same price. Had my car towed in here late on Thursday afternoon. The tow driver said he has towed to this shop before and that they do good work. I was a bit worried it wouldn't even get seen before late Friday as I saw they were very busy, but they also had a lot of techs working. I dropped off the keys and went home. They called me before 10 am the next morning to inform me my car was finished and ready. It blew my mind with how fast the turn around was. Car is running great and I haven't had an issue with it since. I am very happy with my experience and I will be going back for any future needs. I recommend this shop. ~Coyote858
