Trustworthy, fast repairs, fair prices - what else could you ask for.
I needed a SMOG check for my Porsche Boxster and happened to drive by TP auto repair which is close to where I live. They were open early so I pulled into the lot and asked if they had time to do the check. Phong, the owner, was familiar with my car, because he used to have one like it, started on the SMOG check…

I don’t know much about cars, but they always pinpoint exactly what’s wrong and explain everything clearly. TP Auto is reliable, honest, affordable, and always has a quick…
Great service!
Honest and trustworthy
T P Auto Repair was economical, professional, knowledgeable and customer-friendly.
The best and most trustworthy auto repair shop I’ve ever come across. Took my 98 Tacoma in for overheating issues and a check engine light that other shops couldn’t figure out how to fix. It was finished the same day and at a great price. I’m blown away by this shop and will be taking all of my vehicles to it in the future.
My family has been using Phong since I was a child and has become a trusted family friend and mechanic. TP auto is the most reliable, straightforward, and all encompassing auto service in all of San Diego. I cannot recommend him more!
Faster service than anticipated and reasonably priced! Great customer service
Came for a 2nd opinion. Glad I did! Communication was great, price was very reasonable, and was able to fix the issue right away. Will definitely come back for future work.
My experience was a very favorable one. The team is knowledgeable and provides very prompt service. They are thorough and very friendly. It was a great experience. I will return should other car issues appear.
Amazing mechanic. I’ll never go anywhere else. Thank you,
My first time here and I'm so impressed how nice everyone was, and how fast they were able to fit me in and how quick repairs were done ✅ 👏🏽 with diagnosis within a hour after drop off. I truly appreciate how authentic, efficient and helpful everyone was with me and the communication throughout the time my car…
Incredibly fast, affordable, and quality service!! Cindy gave me a warm welcome and Phong was very transparent with what my car needed. They took care of everything in less than 24 hours! I thought a lot of the reviews on here were too good to be true, but after my experience I really do believe them. 10/10 would recommend.
Had a really positive experience at TP Auto - they were extremely friendly and helpful. Everything was explained to me in a way I easily understood and the repairs were done quickly. The price was also reasonable. I'll be visiting again!
