I’ve been coming here for about nine years, and I trust them completely. I even have my kids and parents bring their cars here because I know they’ll be in good hands. They may not be the cheapest in town, but they are the most honest, and their work is always efficient and thorough. Chris is exceptional with…

Awesome garage! Was trying to figure out how to pass smog to register my van and after 4 garages tried to scam me. I found A street Auto service from and old friend who recommended them. Shuan was really helpful pointing out what needed to be done. And the owner Scott and his son went in and did an excellent job.…

Since moving stateside 10 years ago Scott and His family are the only ones I have trusted with multiple vehicles. I can be reassured that the work will be minimized to just what is needed and communication throughout the encounter is always stellar. No reservations in recommending A street Auto for all car repair needs.

Excellent service from A Street Auto. I’ve always been skeptical on where I take my vehicles to when being worked on. I wouldn’t hesitate to take my vehicle back here to be serviced. Very straightforward and helpful.

If you live downtown (San Diego) there is absolutely no reason to go anywhere else. I took both of my vehicles to A Street Auto Service for different repairs and I couldn't ask for a better job. Extra shot out to Scott and the team who went above and beyond to get my car back just in time for our newborn.

Hands down the BEST mechanic I have ever been to. Scott was super helpful. I explained my situation and he told me to go buy a gas cap instead of trying to waste both my time and money. He told me to come back after I got the gas cap to make sure that is what was causing me to fail the smog test and sure enough, I…
