Greg s Automotive was friendly and thorough. After a brake inspection on my Honda HRV I was told what did not need to be done instead of pushing me to have more work done. Quality parts, quick turn around, and a fair price. Hundreds less than the dealer.

Each time we visit, we get more and more impressed by the service. My sons truck had a coolant leak. We had it towed over to Greg's and by 2pm they had it all fixed up and ready for pick up. We appreciate the great service and turn around time.

When my car broke down, my neighbor told me how Greg s Automotive has been taking care of his and his family vehicles since 1979. He had all good things to say about them and his trust for them was an invitation for me to try them out. I m please to say my neighbor was right! Greg didn t just fix what was broken but assessed my car is such a at as to solve matters I hadn t been able to and to prevent future issues. They are knowledgeable, great at communicating and honest, which is highly valued in today s world!

***Edit - If I could give these guys more than five stars, I would do so. I had a different concern that turned out to be very minor. Rather than nickel and dime me for investigating the issue, they didn't charge for the time. I can't remember that ever happening elsewhere. If that doesn't tell you about their character, I don't know what will.***I was told Greg's was a reputable service provider by a couple of friends. Today, I tried them out for the first time.My son's truck had a code pop up, so I emailed Greg's last week for a rough estimate (which was very reasonable compared to other rough quotes). That same day, I set up an appointment for this morning.Mark was very helpful and was able to diagnose, fix, and get the truck back up and running code free the same day - within about $25 of the rough estimate.You know when you can tell that someone at a business cares about your situation and needs? That's the impression I got at Greg's. Amazing customer service.I will definitely use them for my other vehicles when issues pop up.

I scheduled an appointment online had to make a change, called and spoke with Mark, who by the way is awesome, and my new appointment went like clockwork. I waited for my car, easiest ever! Love Greg s Automotive. They do what they say they are going to do in an efficient professional way. The customer service is the absolute BEST!

I've only had my car at Greg's once for a front axle, oil service, and a full brake job. In and out in a day at the price quoted. In fact a touch under. Great people who I felt went out of their way to look after me.My previous goto shop closed and I've been looking for another where I felt valued. Geo and Mark certainly did that.

Gregs was able to get me in and look at my car next day. They identified the issue and got back to me within a few hours. Unfortunately the repair cost was beyond economic repair (failed transmission) but they offered competitive pricing compared to every other shop I have called.

Greg s Automotive is the best they have had my vehicle on multiple different repairs. They get me in same day and within one or two business days I m back on the road and always get a very fair price. The service guys will spot any underlying issues and even replaced something s for no labor cost since they had already had the old part off during their repair. Thanks Greg s I ll see you next time.

Took our van in for what we suspected to be transmission issues, told them everything we experienced that would point to that. They asked if we checked the transmission fluid lately and we said no. They ran some tests and gave it back to us and all they could tell us was the transmission was slipping.. we took it home, talked to a friend and he checked our fluid level and we had almost no transmission fluid. Any reason why a shop would send us on our way with no transmission fluid? That could have been very expensive for us. Don t know if I would trust this place, definitely won t be going back.

Great experience! We have a 1996 Volvo, and she needs extra attention and finessing to run her best. Gregs is willing to take the time to figure out exactly what is going on with our car and to do appropriate repairs with out over-diagnosing, or overcharging. They are true commonsense mechanics, repairing what needs to be repaired and not telling us we need a whole new whatever unit , when it is only one part that might actually need the repair or replacement. They use good judgment, employ skilled repair people and listen to us, the paying customer. We take all our vehicles here !!Services: General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Auto brake repair, Engine repair, Smog certification

Both La Mesa and El Cajon locations are family owned. I used the one in El Cajon, it's closer. Gio, John and Mark are some of the best in what they do. I have made Greg's Automotive my car's repair shop. Honest, clean, direct to the problem, no skirting around to upsell not needed repairs and/or parts, labor, etc. Great communicators. I recommend them above any Nissan Dealerships who have charged me for work not done in the past. My car is a Nissan.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Auto engine tuning, Tire rotations, Engine repair, Vehicle safety inspection, Auto maintenance, Oil change

I used this business to get my catalytic converter engraved with the VIN number to prevent theft. They offered this wonderful service for no charge. I think it s a very generous way to help the community. They were fast, friendly and efficient. My brother told me that they performed some work for him in the past and he had been very pleased. Not many businesses reach out to help like this. Thank you, Greg s Automotive!

I've been bringing my vehicles to Greg's for years. I believe that they are honest about any work that needs to be done and fair with their pricing. You might be able to find somewhere that charges less, but you get what you pay for. Marc especially is a pleasure to deal with at the front desk. He's knowledgeable and courteous, exactly the kind of person you want dealing with customers at a mechanic shop.Services: Smog certification, Oil change

I've had 3 vehicles serviced at this shop with somewhat satisfaction but the other day ended my commitment as a loyal customer when the service manager Mark attempted to refuse to honor a $10 coupon from Greg's Automotive's website. I showed the coupon multiple times with his response It's maintenance. Finally after reviewing the coupon several times he honored the coupon. Here's why I really stopped coming here. I brought in a vehicle for a transmission check and was told the transmission oil was dirty and had not been changed which was a lie. Transmission fluid had just been placed in the vehicle and I verified with other auto places who said the transmission oil was clean confirming what I knew and that is the transmission oil was clean. This dishonest statement and for $10 I will no longer be bringing my 3 vehicles to this business.

Took my car here to get it ready for smog, mark made me feel like choice was a no brainer, he said the problem would get handled and it did. My 1998 Acura Rl has misfiring on the whole right side of the engine, took it to acouple shops to handle the cylinders and 1500 in nothing. I took it to gregs, and when it was released the misfiring was gone. My cars been running pretty smooth, and the best part about this place is marks customer service, and the mechanic. These guys are great, my cars are coming here now Services: Electrical repair, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

Big thanks to the guys at Greg's for replacing my swaybar & links, and giving my older car a good once-over before I drive it across the country. Great customer service and pricing, they diagnosed and fixed everything super quick and efficiently, giving me peace of mind before leaving on my trip. Definitely recommend Greg's to anyone needing work done from a quality and trustworthy place.Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance
