While traveling from AZ to San Diego for a family vacation, the hood of my Ford Expedition started smoking. We pulled into the nearest gas station to evaluate and coolant would just pass right through to the ground, my car literally coasted into Proline Auto Care. While our google search said they were open, they were closed and by the grace of God, Lamar was there with his brother. Our family vacation was in chaos, but my Expedition ended up being in the best of hands. It ended up needing 'major surgery', but I was sent photos and communication was easy. My children had a great vacation while I worked on getting everything fixed. Proline replaced the turbo and made sure it was safe to drive and even helped with securing my Expedition's shipment back to Arizona.These guys are simply the best and I can't thank them enough for making my realized worst fear in driving long distances situation the best possible.

The guys here know what they are doing. Just ask them. From oil changes to engine work. They know.

I had my clutch upgraded to a stage 3 clutch at a shop in Chula Vista on my 17 Civic Si and that mechanic did more damage than actually doing the job. I had my downpipe and front pipe reinstalled incorrectly, my shifter kept locking me out of gears, metallic sound as I drive in low RPMs, and an oil leak from my turbo oil return hose! My knock control was staying very high since i received my vehicle from the clutch job. The mechanic couldn't fix what he damaged so I took it to Lamar at Proline.Lamar adjusted my front pipe and the sound was there but not as bad so he didn't charge me for the labor. I drove home then gave him a call an hour later and told him to do whatever it takes to fix it and that i noticed oil on the ground. His response was, "I'll figure it out don't worry about it".I dropped my Si at Proline and an hour later, He calls me and notifies me that was turbo oil return line was damaged. He ordered it from Honda that same day to fix that issue the next day.He texted me "civic is done"I told him that I'd be leaving work late and he waited for me after closing hours just to pick up my car. I received my car running absolutely perfect with no metal rubbing sound, no oil leak, and perfect shifting. The price he charged me was technically the price for the part. Just as he told me before he did the work and nothing more.I should have took it to Proline first. I would of saved myself a headache. I definitely recommend going here first if you want the job done correctly and in a timely fashion.Now just need to wait for springs to be released for my car and I'll definitely be back at Proline.

Visiting San Diego from out of state. My van started making noises and having steering issues when we arrived. A friend referred me to Lamar at Proline and he was able to schedule us for an inspection that day. He then took the time to completely look over our van and identify the problems with our bearings and suspension. He prepared a list of needed repairs that would allow us to get home safely as well as the other repairs that needed to be done that he could do or that my mechanic could do when I got home. He was honest on what needed to be immediately done and his prices were reasonable so we had him do all the work. He kept us informed of his progress and went the extra mile to make sure our van was repaired in time for my family to go home when we needed to. The van ran perfectly on the way home and it has been well over a week since the repair and we are still happy with Lamar's work. We would recommend him and Proline for anyone that needs repairs.Services: Steering & suspension repair, General repairs & maintenance, Steering & suspension replacement, Vehicle Inspection, Auto maintenance, Oil change

Went in to get lowering springs installed on my car and I spoke to Lamar. He pointed out from the start that my bushings were cracked. After he removed the wheels, he called me and informed me that if he would open it up, the bushings would break, forcing me to get the all of the control arm replaced. He was very honest with me and I ended up getting all the parts replaced as well. He gave me an amazing prices and did an amazing job! overall a happy customer, 100% would recommend to all my friends and family. Will be going back for all my automotive needs :)

Best customer service that was followed with even Better mechanic service. My car was up and running the exact day and time I was told it was going to be. Complete honesty and professionalism from Lamar, the mechanic who repaired my vehicle. There is no other place in town that I will take my vehicle to from here on out. I 100% reccomend Proline Auto Care to anyone who wants grade A service for their vehicle. Thank you Lamar and thank you Proline Auto Care.

By far the best mechanics in town! I went to the dealership earlier this morning and they tried to charge me $270 for a repair on my car and would take about 2 hours. Luckily, a friend referred me to Proline Auto Care and they were happily ready to take me in!! The repair only took about 15 minutes and he only charged me $40. What a steal!! He said "honesty is the best policy. You can't rip customers off." Needless to say, I will be coming back here for all future needs!!

These guys are awesome. I took my car in because it would shake every time I pressed the brake. Lamar inspected it and told me my rotors were bad and my shocks were leaking. After getting a quote from Toyota for $2600, I was going to expect something close. My entire care was fixed for under $1000 bucks! That included an Oil Change, Rotors, shocks and an alignment. My car will be going to them from now on.

Proline auto care is where I take all my vehicles and my family vehicles. Superb quality, and excellent customer service. Lamar, the owner, is splendid.I took my car in for routine maintenance, Lamar gave me a quote that was exactly 353 dollars cheaper than the dealership. He also accommodates to your time, usually finishing your vehicle in minimal amounts of time.I would recommend Lamar and the Proline auto group to everyone and anyone.

I would like to introduce my case for you guys.My car was broken in an accident and my insurance company paid me 3000 USD to fix it.I paid the 3000 USD for this auto repair shop to fix the car but he did not.He asked me to give him the amount in advance so he can buy the spare parts and do the repair. I paid the 3000 USD but he did only some minor repairs but he did not fix the main problem in car. Still I have problem in stern and wheels.First contact with the auto repair shop was in December 2016 and till now he did not accomplish the repairing. He was receiving the car each time but returning it with same problem.He was deceiving me all the time. One time, instead of fixing one air sensors, he took out the all air sensors from wheels for No reason and kept them for himself.Furthermore, he took out air bulb from dash board to prevent me to see the indicator of problem he made. I contacted his father who is working with him in the shop and complained to him, he asked me to bring the car and he only returned the sensors and bulb but they are not working plus he left other problems.
