My new favorite go-to for my car!! They took great care of my car and they even changed out my key battery for free which was so nice. 10/10 service!
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…

Friendly, highly competent, competitive pricing—TP Auto Repair has my highest praises
Quick and fair. Even told me, after inspection, that I didn’t need some of the work I was suggesting. Will be returning.

Super fast and honest service
A close friend of mine had recommended TP auto repair, I was due for an oil change and prolonged it for far too long. It’s off El Cajon blvd, extremely easy to find and enter, driving up Cindy immediately approached me so I had no confusion where to enter or park my car, which immediately made me feel comfortable!…

Thank you guys!
So glad I found this place! Everyone I talked to was very friendly and accommodating. The service was fast and I will definitely be coming here for any future car issues.
Best experience with mechanics shop ever. Felt very safe and satisfied with the service here. Turn around time was much faster than expected. I just moved to San Diego. After the first visit, I’ve already felt like I’m in a family. Highly recommend this shop.
Phong was friendly, personable and a pleasure to do business with. My smog check was performed with care and great follow up on the report to the DMV. Couldn’t be happier. Great price point too!
