These guys are awesome! I have been coming here for years and have had University City Service Center service all of my family’s vehicles. They are honest, professional, and the turnaround on their services is very quick.

Thanks for always being my go to guys. And I would advise anyone who sees thist to trust your wheels to these professionals
Fast, polite and efficient. I have been a customer for the past 30 yrs.
I had brakes and rotors replaced, a new TPMS sensor installed as well as repairs on a tire and a wheel. I appreciated the transparent communication and honesty of what was necessary to repair and what the cost estimate was before repair was completed. The repairs and replacements were satisfactory and met my expectations.
Came here to get my breaks fixed because I tore them up. But seriously, got there at 7am and my car was done in a couple hours. They were honest and transparent about everything and called to get my approval before doing anything. Checked my tires and everything as well. Thank you so much!

I've been coming to the University City Service Center for many years. They explain things clearly and are transparent about costs and time involved. I'm very happy with the work they do on my car.
This is our GOTO for auto service in UC. Scott and Brian make sure our cars keep running very well ...and WITHOUT breaking the budget. Highly recommended.
Great fast service with very transparent pricing.
Had a lot done to my 2016 Kia Rio. In addition to everything checked below, they replaced the brake and transmission fluids and replaced a bad tire pressure sensor. I was able to drop my car off before they officially opened and picked it up that evening.
Great place great technicians always a pleasure doing business with them
I trust Scott with the maintenance of My car !
Finally found someone we can trust with our car. Professional workmanship at a fair price !….
All the employees here are so helpful and friendly. My parents have been coming to Brian and Scott since the 90s and now I take my cars here even though my family lives in Rancho Penasquitos. They are worth the drive. Always honest and let me know when larger expenses may be in the near future. When larger expenses…
I’ve been bringing multiple vehicles here to Brian and Scott at University City Service Center for over 20 years because they always do good work and I feel that they’re honest in their assessments of my car and never try to upsell me on unnecessary parts or service. My most recent services here were last week for…
This is our service station of choice. They are great at diagnostics as well as being fast and friendly. Thank you again for taking great care of our CR-Vs.
Prompt attention to customer. Great upfront detail, concise recommendations, estimated completion timelines are met, promises, and honesty.
Overcharged, over-diagnosed, and the 'fix' was broken within a year.
