My family has been coming here for over 50 years and the service is phenomenal- always courteous, trustworthy and on time. Keep up the good work!
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.
Great service! Love the proximity to home and the neighborhood feel. Thank you Scott and team.
Fast good prices been a customer for over 25 years
We’ve taken our cars here for years. The service is efficient and reasonably priced.
These days it is really difficult to find a service, ANY, service, that you can trust. This shop is one such place and I could not recommend it enough. Scott took my car in for 60K service. Their team did a great job for a reasonable price and told me that I do not have to change the shocks and struts for a while…
Had professional consultation and repair service by Technician, Scott. Do really appreciate what Scott have done for the repair service.
Scott and the team at UC Service Center are honest, reliable, and efficient. There was a time I asked to get my brake pads changed due to squeaking noises, but they didn’t find anything wrong. Instead of changing them out anyways to get more money, they didn’t charge anything and sent me on my way. You can trust…
Great fast service with very transparent pricing.
Scott went out of his way to make sure my vehicle was correct.
Scott was absolutely knowledgeable and provided top notch service. I live in the area and now know why this workshop is always busy. Will return when more services required.
These guys work hard and always work to fit you in the schedule.
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…
Fast, friendly and honest service every time.
I have been bringing my vehicles here for the past 5 years. Honest prices and great work, the mechanics are always available to chat about your vehicle and what they can do.
Prompt attention to customer. Great upfront detail, concise recommendations, estimated completion timelines are met, promises, and honesty.
I have been going to shell auto care for more than 10 years. They are honest and do a great job.
I totally trust Scott when he works on my car
I've been bringing our two cars to University City Service Center for 5 years or so. They are great: the price is fair, the work is always excellent, and they are always totally honest and reliable. I've taken cars to dozens of garages over the years, and this is probably the best garage I've ever been to. They have…
