Jake and team did a great job on our project. The attention to detail and perfectionism really shows in the final product. Jake went over the design plans meticulously and offered suggestions to ensure the finish was cohesive with the house and existing layout.

We love the consistent, quality service that we enjoy from SD Auto care. David provides superior customer service, and he is always willing to walk you through each part of his work. David works on all years, makes, and models, and his service bays fit my dully 3500. Lastly, his rates are fair and equitable. We will continue our service with David until he retires.

Mr. David Dao is an educator at heart. He will take the time to explain everything that needs to be done or what was done to your vehicle. At SD Auto Care Center you will get what you pay for.David has been refining his craft for 25 years so he and his other mechanic are very reliable. I recomend them to you!

2021 year - This shop is great! They replaced the leaking water pump in my acura MDX in a very short time. They offered the best price in San Diego. I recommend this shop if you would like to get the perfect service for a great price!2023 year - I recently had an outstanding experience with a car repair service for my Acura MDX. The car was making noises on small bumps and while rotating the wheel. After a thorough inspection, the technician recommended replacing the front shocks. I appreciated the honest advice and decided to purchase my own shocks to save some money. The technician was accommodating and skillfully installed the shocks I provided. Impressively, the job was completed in just 5 hours, allowing me to have my car back the same day. This prompt and efficient service was a huge relief. I'm extremely satisfied with the quality of the work. The car now runs smoothly, with no more noise on bumps or during steering. I highly recommend this service for any car repairs. Their expertise, efficiency, and customer-oriented approach make them a top choice for car maintenance and repairs.

David and Oscar are great! Very helpful, kind, and transparent about repairs and costs. My AC compressor and low side line were leaking and I needed to get them replaced - other shop quoted me nearly double what they did! Service was VERY speedy and unmatched. I will definitely be going back when needed and highly recommend! 10/10!Update: I d give them more stars if I could! Called asking if I could get some help replacing a headlight bulb, showed up within 15 mins and they got it all sorted out! These guys are the best!

David is an honest business man and mechanic! It s hard to find these days. He kindly accommodated me when I called a day before today for my AC condenser having a leak and just blowing hot air in this summer heat! He told me to come in 8:30 am and started on my car while showing me every detail of what went wrong with my car. He was honest about the price and gave me ample time to dwell on making a decision having all my other options weighed (like if there s a recall). I chose to proceed. He continues to update me on the wait time and price when necessary. He started on my car at 9 am and finished at 2 pm :)Great work! Will come back next time

David is an honest mechanic. Despite having to come in with a short notice, he made sure to look at my car and fix it quickly. He noticed additional problems with the car but didn t try to upsell things. Rather he explained the problems thoroughly and he let me decide if I wanted to fix the issues with him without giving me pressure. Thank you for your service and honest work! Really appreciate it!

David and his colleague did a great job getting my 2011 Outback ready for sale (changing fluids, rotating tires, replacing the battery, and cabin/air filters). It drove so well once they were done I had a tough time giving it up. David was transparent about pricing and never tried to sell my anything more than I needed. Would absolutely refer anyone here in need of a mechanic!Services: Transmission, Air & cabin filter replacement, Tires, General repairs & maintenance, Tire rotations, Battery, Oil change

I found David after Hyundai wanted to hold my car for 2-3 days for a Check Engine light. David took one look and was able to diagnose the issue and fix it. I have taken my Hyundai Sonata to him each time I needed anything changed or look at since then. He is very clear on the charges and the changes that are needed. He never upsells. He will also inform you of future maintenance needed 6 months or laterServices: Transmission, Electrical repair, General repairs & maintenance, Auto engine diagnostic, Air conditioning, Oil change

I was referred to San Diego Auto Care Center by a family member who has been a loyal costumer to David for over 10+ years. I was having major issues with my brakes and needed an Oil Change. After speaking with David on the phone and going over what needed to be done, I felt very confident leaving my vehicle in his care. David provided me with a very fair estimate, took my car in super last minute and was able to replace my brake pads, complete an oil change and replace a caliper all in the same day. He was very efficient and also very communicative and updated me throughout the process. I m so glad San Diego Auto Care Center was able to help me out with honest work and at a fair price.Services: Brakes, Oil change

David has been our family mechanic for over 20 years. My Mom, my Dad, my sisters and our spouses, and now our children all trust our cars with David. He does EXCELLENT work! Finding a good mechanic is something that everyone wants. He lets you know what work can be done later and what work should to be done immediately. He is honest and he genuinely cares about our safety and well-being. We're so thankful we have David.
