These guys really know what they are doing and they are honest and very trustworthy. I highly recommend for any type of automotive help, Friendly and their prices are very resonable. The owner was born and raised in the neighborhood and he is ready to service you...

As usual, honest good guys.No BS

These guys do a pretty good job. Prices are competitive compared to taking your car to the manufacturer. Its really easy to form a good relationship with them. I like how theyll offer alternative solutions to an issue your car might have instead of just telling you that you have to take the most expensive route. The genuinely seem to care.

This place is a scam. I was overcharged for the repairs that I needed and hustled for unnecessary part replacements. If you do decide that you want to test your luck at this place, DONT bring your vehicle in with gas in the tank. They will give your vehicle back on empty. I will not be going back here ever again.

Matt is absolutely fantastic. Extremely professional, knowledgable, and straight-forward. He really cares about his clients, and wants to make sure that their cars are going to be reliable for them. I was looking to buy a used car so I brought a couple cars to the shop for him to look at. He was very dedicated to making sure I ended up with something reliable and worth my money. This shop has extremely reasonable prices for the care and quality of work. This is a extremely trustworthy auto shop. Highly recommend. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love this place. Take all my cars here.

Matt is the best. Im so thankful for his expertise, availability and transparency. Hes generous with his time, very budget-conscious and able to pinpoint exactly what his customers need. Hes turned my car buying experience from a headache to a breeze. All around great mechanic and guy! Cant recommend this place enough.

Honest and professional people with an organized process to maintenance your car, keep you updated on their progress and get you back on the road. You feel good leaving and not ripped off.

Mike was super nice and very polite! Just my smog was done but if and when I need anything else done I will be back.

Had a wonderful experience coming here for a smog check. I needed to find a “star” station and pulled them up on my phone. Called first and talked to Matt who was easy to talk to and friendly. I came over right away and got in and out in no time, even though there were a bunch of cars being worked on. Never had a smog check go so quickly and easily, I will definitely continue coming here.

Went in for AC repair. True professionals. Very upfront and honest pricing. Military Friendly. I felt comfortable that they would actually do the repair unlike some other repair shops that are seeking cash and over inflated parts and labor cost.

I found this place by word of mouth, which is always the most reliable, and I was not disappointed. Matt and his team are friendly, professional and very capable with all repairs, from tires to tricky electrical problems. They explain whats wrong and the options for taking care of it. They have a great online appointment system and are always right on time, both with starting and finishing their work.Give them a try--youll be glad you did!J.

Matt gets me in and out of his shop quick. Great customer service and decent price for oil change. I like this place! They’re super honest.

Long overdue review here, but these guys have consistently helped me (and my boyfriend) out over the course of almost four years now! Always with the friendliest and most trustworthy service. It’s great to have these guys right here in Allied Gardens.

5 stars is not enough. Matt, Ryan and the team have been taking care of my car and my wife’s car for several years. Our now-15-year-old RX 330s have needed significant repairs and maintenance in that time. Their technical competence, customer service, professionalism and sincere caring have been remarkable! We consider ourselves lucky to be in the hands of these extremely conscientious mechanics who make our safety and our cars’ performance and longevity top priorities. By the way, prices are fair and reasonable. Get yourself some peace of mind in the often crooked and deceitful world of car repair. Trust this shop!

Everyone is friendly and super helpful. They never offer service I do not need, and their prices are not outrageous. I recommend them 100%

The service that I was provided with at Allied Gardens Automotive was impeccable. The mechanics are knowledgeable, friendly, and hard working. My car turned out great... and thanks to the suggestions that they made to put my car in better shape, I feel a great deal of satisfaction. I would definitely recommend them, and I would without a doubt, make this my go to auto repair shop. Thanks Guys.

ALLIED GARDENS AUTOMOTIVE is the place to take your car if you want a team of skilled, knowledgeable and friendly mechanics to take care of all of your car care needs. Smog check was done quickly - it took less than 20 min. Easy, painless experience. No need to go anywhere else.

I recently took both of my cars here. My Toyota needed AC service and these guys did a great job at a good price. My other car needed a new radiator fan and it was done on the same day since I used night drop off. They give you your options, explain things well and dont try to rip you off. The mechanics are friendly and extremely knowledgeable.

This is a place pretty close to my house Ive had repairs on here before. I called today to get an estimate and when I was a little surprised and said wow he hung up on me. I will not be going there ever again.

Went there for a problem with the AC and the gauges in dashboard and only to get a diagnosis they took my car for 5 days including a whole weekend . They charged me a considerable amount of money for this evaluation and they never disclosed they hour service fee . The associate said that they charge less than other shops but believe me I just asked to a couple now and they are at least 100 per cent cheaper than this one to get the evaluation they did . Also the project they quoted is pretty high compared to other shops around . Not happy

Awesome shop with great service and no frills. Have done two smog checks and basic maintenance here and have continued to be impressed with the service and efficiency.

The mechanics are knowledgeable. All are ASE Qualified. The business has fair and straightforward prices and a way of making you feel that they know what they are doing. They. Will help you out.

Great guys. One of the most customer service oriented auto repair shops I have ever been to. Thanks!

Top notch auto shop. It feels good knowing your not getting ripped off. Matt and Ryan are very nice do awesome work!

Always honest. Always fair and always on time. We have been taking our work there for years. Ask for Ryan. Ryan is the bomb.

My father in laws rav4 transmission broke down and these guys rebuilt it and got it up and running like new in just a few days. The guy helping me was friendly and kept me informed with updates on the service. It was expensive to rebuild the transmission but is was also very competitive.

Honest, reliable and they care about their customers. I take all my cars there. Never been steered wrong and I feel the work they do is a good value.

I really like this place. I dont like taking my cars to dealerships because they are so overpriced and treat you as just another customer. My chevy cobalt was shaking whenever I started it up and I had no idea what was wrong with it. The guys at Allied Gardens took a quick look at it as soon as I got there and did a free inspection. They fixed my car as soon as the parts came in and gave me a really good deal. They were quick and extremely friendly. They didnt press me to get anything else fixed. I would strongly recommend these guys.

I HIGHLY recommend this place and will shout it from the rooftops. Superb!!

Honest & reliable auto repair shop!

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.They stayed late to help me after work because I was stuck in traffic.Had some great ideas on how to maintain my car and minimize cost.

This is the place to go for car work in all of San Diego. Fair prices and fair people run this business. Its conveniently located near my home, but I would drive many miles to know that I am not being overcharged or taken advantage of. I love this little gem in Allied Gardens!

These guys are both friendly and efficient! After attempting to fix my battery on my own, I ran into a wiring problem a few days later. I took it to Allied Gardens and they took 15 minutes to inspect and fix the problem which was a faulty attaching piece. Im definitely coming back for future maintanence.

I dont give out 5 stars very often but these guys deserve it. This is the place to go for honest work with a fair price. They take the time to explain what the problem is and are willing to answer questions.

Ryan was polite and professional and honest, the work was well done, this is a good honest shop that performs well above the standard of other shops. I want to thank Ryan and his Mechanics for their assistance, and repairs, and I will be returning shortly for more work. I have a Hummer H2 2006.

I have been going to these guys for years, they are very honest and dont try to take advantage or sell me on unecessary junk. They are always very friendly and enjoyable to be around and work with. Their pricing is good too.

I cant say enough good things about this repair shop. They have always been completely honest and I cant imagine going to another place to get my car serviced. Matt and his crew are the best and you can count on them to do great work at low prices.

Im not a review person but have to give a quick thank you to Matt at Allied Gardens for going the extra mile when it comes to his honest opinion and fair prices.My car died across the street from his shop last Friday and I walked over there asking for help. After explaining the situation, Matt immediately offered to do a free diagnostic to determine what the problem is (he guessed the starter based on the circumstances I told him) and gave me a number a very inexpensive tow company.Long story short, he was exactly right about the starter and gave me BETTER than competitive pricing on parts and labor - including the option on a rebuilt starter if I had to go that route. His knowledge, honesty and fair prices make him stand out from the rest.Thank you Matt! I highly recommend Allied Gardens Automotive!Kevin

Thank you. Great job on my tuck

Very professional experience. Able to answer most questions right over the phone to save you the drive. Staff is very efficient at keeping you up to date on the progress of your vehicle repairs via email & phone.

I dont give 5-star-Excellent to anyone. I trust these guys, I believe their intention is for your benefit, but nobodys perfect. New auto breakdowns are not as simple as change out a part & fix you problem. Theres still some trial n error as there was before computers only now its more costly. I believe they will do the right thing first, not after youve spent your last dollar trying to save the car you love.

Good plCw for car repsirs. Never had a problem. Very nice to work with but they price from a book and are usually prices higher than other garages in the area.Its kind of worth it thats way I keep going back. When they fix something it stays fixed and I dont ha e a y other problems when I leave their shop.

Nice center! I like this place/ Recommend

The owner of this business its awesome great service!!!

Best mechanic shop in SD. Call ahead and ask about a loaner car if you are expecting major repairs.

After a dissapointing dealership experience I was recommended this shop from a friend. Im comfortable with performing basic services on my own cars but this issue was beyond my comprehension. They were able to isolate the problem and get it fixed the same day. they even had time to check to see if a manufacture warranty was applicable. I was so impressed by the way Matt and Doug run thier business I now bring all my vehicles in for service. They would give you the shirt off your back, unlike the pushy, production based dealerships. Thanks guys for making a difference

Great costumer service and very honest.

Weve been there several time with our older cars. They do great work and really know what they are doing.

The best place to take your car!!

Prices were a little High for the work. I would recommend the dealer if you have anything other than the basics

A small, honest neighborhood auto repair shop.

Knowledgeable and informative. They tell you whats wrong, what can wait and whats important

Taken my car there twice now, happy with the service both times.

They are knowledgeable and honest.

Thank you for service and being a honest!!

Great shop. Fair and honest

Super honest and always helpful.

Great service by Ryan and his staff at Allied Gardens Automotive!

Staff is friendly. Does not warranty work. Engine replaced and still had water in the oil. Had to sell my vehicle for almost nothing.
