Sean and his crew are amazing! This was my first time at their shop, and from the very first phone call through the entire experience of getting my daughter’s 2020 Kia inspected, the communication was incredible. Timely, personal and professional. Everyone was friendly, funny, and made the whole experience easy.<br><br>They took the time to explain everything and helped me figure out what was most important to take care of now and what could wait. For the first time in years, I felt like I was back at my hometown mechanic, the kind of place where you feel like you’ve known and trusted them for years.<br><br>Everyone there was awesome. I’ll absolutely be back and highly recommend them!
My car was stopping and stalling over the weekend and ended up parked in a parking garage<br><br>Since A street auto was closed over the weekend, I decided to walk over to scout it out and how I would park when they were open on Monday in case my vehicle stalled again and I needed to Glide or push it in.<br><br>While I was there I met Scott the owner who just happened to stop by.<br><br>I told him my situation and he mentioned that even though my car being so old was not what they normally work on to come by anyway and they would repair it.<br><br>Because the car then wouldn't start I decided to get a mobile mechanic who was able to repair it.<br><br>But the fact that Scott was willing to bend their own rules in order to help me out was a great relief and much appreciated.<br><br>I will be getting a newer car soon and know A Street Auto is where I will be going should it need repaired.
These guys are the best. I truly feel like they're looking out for my best interests and they always seem to go the extra mile to get the work done efficiently and professionally. No unnecessary upselling, always looking to keep your costs down etc. Really glad they're walking distance

Derek- we appreciate you trusting us with your BMW time and time again and i'm glad you appreciate the service. Hopefully see you not too soon!
As a new resident of San Diego establishing new service providers can be painful however, I have been a repeat customer of A Street Auto and have been veey happy with the service and cost. I highly recommend them for any of your car maintenance and repair needs.

Thanks for the kind words Rachael and we appreciate you choosing us!
I needed a specific Battery and oil change on our Porsche Macon. Was a service light that came on! I used to go to the Porsche Dealership, but were much higher. Scott and his team are spot on their diagnosis! They also take care of our 1999 BMW M3 and our Volkswagon Tiguan! All are in excellent care with our friends at A Street Auto (should be called A+ Auto)👍🏻<br><br>We recently needed 2 back Pirelli Tires! We said go and A-Street sent a good quote and beat another quote from Discount Tire sale and they beat by $125. While they had the tires off, they saw the sensor for breaks was about to pop and gave us a quote. We looked at a quote previously from Porsche Dealership and was pleasantly surprised. They charged us $2100 for a break job on front brakes and we received a quote for 2 Pirelli tires and back breaks for under $2000. Savings of over $1000. They did a great job & dropped off at 8am and had back by $5:30p! AMAZING!! Have been with A Street Auto for past 15 years! Like Family now!!
Price assessment: Great price
