I took a used car here for a pre-purchase inspection. Motec mechanics found over $1,000 worth of repairs that needed to be done on the car. I then took the same car to my usual trusted mechanic who charged twice as much for the inspection but found all the same problems, so I'm going to use Motec from now on.Also, this place has the nicest customer waiting lounge I've seen anywhere in San Diego, better than any doctor's office.

I came here last year (I believe) for an oil change with my own oil and filters, and they made it super simple and easy to get done. I've come back now to have them do the oil change again, and it's running smooth. You can wait in the lobby if you've schedule a time (do the mornings if possible), and can have some coffee they got available while you wait. Friendly service and they tend to know the right questions to ask.

These guys were very helpful and flexible with my schedule. I was able to leave my car there early and placed my keys in their drop off box. I also picked up my car after they were closed and they gave me specific instructions on how to do so. So accommodating! My car is running very well. They also gave me a good discount. Very personable.Services: Tire rotations, Auto emissions testing, Oil change

Hands down the best auto repair experience I've ever had, dare I say best customer service I've ever had. Raul and his team deliver quality work and do not cut corners in anything even when it would be much more convenient and cost-effective for them to just settle and do the bare minimum. Everyone is really helpful, professional and generous. I've already recommended them to all my co-workers and I'm so thankful I was referred to them. I trust them completely and if I ever have auto issues in the future, I will definitely go back to them.Services: Auto body & trim repair, Painting, Body & Trim, Auto body & trim replacement, Auto maintenance

Over the weekend, our SUV's tire was losing air and we were already halfway through our road trip so we used fix-a-flat. I called Motec and spoke with Adolfo and he was so helpful and friendly. I brought my car in and he was able to get it checked out and told me it was good and that the leak was fixed. He was very helpful and friendly. He gave me sound advice as well.Service: Tires

Absolutely great service and at a good value price point. The team showed me the used engine and suspension parts they replaced and explained the wear. They are cordial and professional from the moment you step into their business. I would recommend the Motec team for your auto upkeep...thanks Motec...Services: Auto body & trim repair, Steering & suspension replacement, Auto engine tuning, Wheel alignment, Air conditioning, Oil changeServices: Auto body & trim repair, Steering & suspension replacement, Auto engine tuning, Wheel alignment, Air conditioning, Oil change

The mechanic found a nail in one of my tires during rotation. They repaired it free of charge. They even showed me the nail. That s a personal touch you don t get at your average shop.Services: Tire rotations, Oil changeServices: Tire rotations, Oil change

I don t really write reviews, but it always good to recognize when someone has a good heart. My car broke down near the mechanics stop even though I was not planning on going there. I did not want to call towing nor deal with fixing the car by myself.I walked down to Adolfo, who was nice enough to listen to my inquiry first and then came to help me and got the car fixed as It was a minor issue with the battery.Thank you again Adolfo keep being who you are. We need people like you.

Thought it was the high pressure power steering hose that was leaking. Motec did a comprehensive look at the steering rack and power system. Found the leak was in the return line. Not expensive at all. I was getting ready for a track day so they made the car track ready and I had a great time. Great job Motec!Service: Steering & suspension repairService: Steering & suspension repair

This shop is great, i dropped in for an estimate to r&r the differential bushings on my genesis coupe.I met Raul ,he told me the book said 2 hours gave me a price.It took the dealer 2 days to replace 1 bushing the first time, and yes it was under warranty.This time they are not. I asked what they charge to install the bushing. They told me they didn't have the tool to do the job. Then recommended replacing the subframe at a cost of $3700.**. It come with the bushings installed.I still don't know what to think about that.I dropped the car off at motec at 8 am the next day , told them I'll be back at 1:30 after work.They said they'd call me when they finished.I got that call has I was walking up to the shop.Great job guys . I hope you don't mind if I keep coming back.Thank you.

Nice place! Very comfortable waiting area while they work on your car. I came in with a windshield wiper fluid reservoir that was leaking! Wasn't sure if it needed to be replaced completely. They were up front and said it could just be the hose. So I brought it in the same day, they looked at it, found out the hose was cracked, and replaced it. And for free since it was such a simple job! Very reasonable people and I'm very grateful. Thanks !

I have been taking my Mini to MOTEC Auto Care for the past year and will continue to do so for they have easily won my business with their professional work, honesty and reasonable prices. I have had a simple oil changes as well as having my my clutch replaced and have been more than happy with the work. This past week I needed to have a number of things done, including replacing something related to the turbo. The car runs really nicely now! The owner Debbie is wonderful and I hope others give MOTEC a chance. You will not regret it.

I just recently used Motec to get my oil changed and they were very friendly and had me in and out Quick. They offer very fair pricing and compared to where I went before the cost for a oil change was $50 less. They have a wonderful and very cozy waiting room. Nice couches, clean bathrooms, vending machines, a pool table, TV, etc. The gentleman who took my info was very friendly and answered all my questions. Its definitely my go to place now.

After the dealership failed to diagnose and repair the A/C leak in my 2006 GMC Sierra I was fortunate enough to find MoTec Auto Repair.I dropped it off at 10:00 am on a very busy day.Raul strongly suspected a leaking condenser.Within an hour he had confirmed the problem and had the new one installed, the circuit flushed filled and tested by 3:00 pm for a little over $600.I think we have probably all felt hustled by a shop or two in the industry!When I find an honest, competent auto shop I stick to them like glue! I am super impressed with MoTec !Service: A/C installation & repair

Motec Auto care is too good, so don't tell anybody else about them (otherwise we will all be at the end of a long line of customers if you spread the word). Here the customer is king or should I say family. Instead of expensive tests and explorations, they came up with a simple inexpensive sollution. Adolfo the third generation of this family owned business could not be more courteous and helpful. The waiting room beats any luxury car dealership. They are fast, fair and talented. So what ever you do, don't tell anyone. Thanks Aldolfo

Motec Auto Care is a caring, loving and professional environment. My experience with them was absolutely great. I just moved to SD bought a car that broke down immediately after purchased and I needed a reliable car and I needed one NOW. They generally cared about my situation and helped me in my time of need, by getting me the cheapest rate possible and still providing great service towards my car. I know they were doing and giving their best when they worked on my car to make it reliable. Others simply didn't care and where unaffordable. I love the staff and what they have done to my car; they have brought it back to life. They assured me when I left if I had any problems after their service to bring it back and they will take care of it and anything else that is wrong. I highly recommend them. They have me as a loyal customer in SD. Thank you very much for your kindness, help and for being there for me in my time of need and hardship and for continuing to help me if I have any problems. Thank you Debbie, Oscar and all the other staff members I didn t get to meet who help make this possible, I and my family are extremely grateful.

I was genuinely impressed by my experience at Motec Auto Care. Owner Debbie Wright is not only the cutest mechanic you'll ever meet, but she and her staff are also the friendliest. Rather than take my money, they diagnosed my issue for free, and actually advised against doing the expensive repair. Sean, one of her mechanics, speaks with a very heavy Irish accent. He not only told me the sad truth about my old car, but entertained me in the process.

We bring our work trucks here to get repairs all the time. The staff is always friendly (special shout out to Nick & Jessica who are always above and beyond with their helpfulness and patience). They don't mind when we shop around for other quotes, though there hasn't been a time when they weren't the best priced one.The repairs are timely, even when they need to order parts, and we're never made to feel like a drag on inconvenience, as we've felt at other places.Motec makes us feel like they're happy to see us and happy to hear from us, which makes us more than happy to go and hear from them!

I dropped in for their "new customer special" of an oil change and wiper blade replacements for a little over $40, and had them replace my brake pads as well. They also swapped out my air filter without charging for labor. I was out the door in just a couple hours. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, and I felt that my car was in good hands.
