I always come here for repairs to my car. It’s always such a smooth process. David is amazing and will work with your insurance so you don’t have too. Also, if you’re paying out of pocket they make sure you have the best deal and always are exceptional and make car look brand new when you get it back

I love this place and I’ve been coming here for about 20 years at this point. I’ve had everything done here including tinting windows to replacing major car parts and they have always been amazing. I can’t recommend this place enough. Always awesome service at a great price, and always very quick.

A friend referred me to Qwik Auto Center. My rear window tinting came off. Glad he did. It was a perfect experience. David greeted us and was super helpful in explaining everything, and immediately provided a quote. He informed us that it takes about 3 hours. Yes, and after 3 hours we received a call that the car was ready! Saiid was super friendly as well and did a very good job in replacing the tinting. We will definitely go back there and recommend this place to others!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place, recently got my windows tinted with the ceramic for one of the best deals in the area and best service you can ask for. They are honest and genuine which makes the process a lot smoother. Highly recommend stopping by here for any auto advice/ service

I drove all the way from LA to San Diego to see my girlfriend and my clutch went out as soon as I got there. I towed my car to Qwik Auto Center and they gave me an honest assessment and probably the best price in the area. Qwik was able to replace my clutch on my lowered civic and did so within a decent time. My civic now feels like a new car and drives great. Thanks guys!

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CAR AUDIO INVENTORY!!I walked in looking for a sub/amp combo and these guys instantly gave me their time and attention to help me decide on the right sub, amp, and box specifically for my vehicle. They had everything in stock and a wide variety of options. They also gave me sincere advice and tips for installation. They took extra care to make sure that I was getting exactly what I wanted and offered to help out if I got stuck on anything or needed any help dialing in the system. I couldnt be happier with the set up they recommended and when I rolled back in to get help tuning they treated me like a friend!

While driving on our way to Sea World our vans transmission gave out. Called up Qwik Auto and they were extremely pleasant to deal with, especially David. Told us our transmission is shot and needed to be replace. They replaced and they were done the same week. I took a little longer to take time off of work and returned 2 weeks later. I noticed a gouge on top of the hood and I couldnt figure who was responsible... tow truck guy or mechanics - they both denied the scratch. Figured Id let it go and get out of Cali fast. Started the drive to San Bernardino, transmission started leaking, a clanking sound, and I had to return it to Qwik Auto. There were more issues with the van than when we dropped it off. Turns out our motor mounts were broken. The turn around was quick again, about 3 days. Got the van and left, crossed our fingers and made it back to AZ. Very costly in Cali, I wouldnt suggest getting stranded there. But when we got home the van was still leaking transmission fluid, service warranty was only 6,000 miles. Replaced the CV axials, and still clanking and leaking. A few mechanics checked our vehicle and asked us to just take it back, I didnt like the uneasy feeling (again) of getting stranded in the desert. So our vehicle became highly unreliable, so we just traded up. Now we are the new owners of a brand new pickup truck. I figure an explanation is necessary for the rating I gave, its the least I can do. Sorry Dave.

Im pretty late posting my review since Ive been busy, but a few weeks ago I took my car in to get my evap system fixed because i couldnt pass smog and no other auto shop that Ive been in before couldnt get the job done and didnt do nothing about it... and then until I decided to come here to qwik auto to give it a try and tbh it was a great service there and David really helped me out and was very honest to me about what was wrong, and then gave me a good price on the cost to get it repaired and then after they fixed it, I took it to a smog shop right after I left and it finally passed after months of trying to get it to pass. Thank you David and qwik auto for your fantastic service. You guys are awesome. Definetly will come back here again for future repairs.

I was visiting from AZ and had a dead battery. I got a jump start and took my car to Qwik Auto Center. David (?) told me that my car battery was probably covered by warranty at dealership. I called dealership and sure enough it was. David restarted my car and sent me to the dealership. He told me if I had problem to come back and they would replacebattery. Car Care Center saved me almost $200.

Seem to do a quality job at an acceptable price. They do a good job at explaining your options and not pressuring you into maintenance you don’t necessarily need. Customer service is above average.

I came here on a whim to have my brakes and rotors replaced and they took me immediately. The price was fair. Shortly after I dropped my car off, I realized I lost my cell phone ... picked the wrong day to skip out on my coffee! Well, these guys went above and beyond and not only let me use their phone to locate my phone, but they also offered to drive me to go get my phone while my car was being worked on. They are so kind! 5 stars for customer service! My new brakes are working great!

I’ve been shopping around for window tint and audio shops for my car. I didn’t want to set up multiple appointments at different locations so I tried Qwik Auto. They were able to get me in on a short notice to get both done. We went over a few options for my aftermarket head unit/speaker setup and I picked out a nice % of tint. Everything was smooth and easy. Car sounds better and looks great with the tint! Thank you Qwik auto, I will be back!

Took my car in for a tune up after realizing I had been neglecting maintenance for a while. The guys at the front were pretty friendly and took the time to go over my options with me. It went by quicker than I thought and my car works great. Thanks!

The owner goes above and beyond what customer service is. I brought my car in because my husband has always been please with their service. The price was fair and the service was detailed.I asked if someone could help me get an Uber and the owner must have gotten word I needed help. At 8 months pregnant, I need all the help I can get ! He brought me home while they worked on my repairs and picked me up !

These guys definitely hook me up. I got full service by them. Hooked me up with window tint and new stereo system and to top it off an oil change. Very nice and easy-going people. Quality and fast service definitely recommend using them. Window tent is exactly how I want it no air bubbles. Stereo system sounds beautiful loud bass. Come on down to let these guys hook you up

I want to Thank Peter for an awesome job. What I thought was wrong with my car I was totally off. He found the problem and I did take it to a well known place but they were way off and wanted to charge me for what didn’t even need fixing. I’m so glad I decided to check this place out and this is now where I will always take my car. And it wasn’t to expensive... Thank you Peter.

I wanted to get my windows tinted today so I called around 3 other places but nobody answered the phone. I saw the advertised $98 window tint sign so I called Qwik Auto Center and they answered immediately. I got my windows tinted in less than 2 hours...Great service!

Came to get my oil change and wipers changed out. Not only did they do a quick job, they showed me other things that were going to need to be replaced in the near future. I even got a deal cause they have a special going on right now. Helpful and friendly, I recommend this spot if you need quality service. They do it all!

I got a new stereo system that I purchased on Amazon installed in my 07 Mustang. They did a great job and had a low installation price. They also threw in a discounted window tint, which was a great decision living in sunny San Diego.

I had a very good experience at this shop. Saied and Peter are very nice and helpful- they replaced my headlight and tinted the windows. They did a perfect job and charged me a very reasonable price which is lower than other shops nearby. I also like the waiting room where they set up Big HD TV and comfortable sofas for customers. It’s hard to find such a nice auto shop on The busy garnet ave. I will definitely come back for their services in future!!

Stopped at Stereo outlet because I needed a ballast replaced on my hid lights. They were very quick about getting my ballast replaced for my headlights. They gave me a great deal on the replacement. And because of that, I had my headlights cleaned because they were very foggy. After they cleaned them. They looked brand new. I just wanted to thank everyone there for there customer service and helping me out so promptly.

I got into an accident and this place was extremely helpful. They came to my car and put the bumper back on to get it across the street. Then they fixed it for a very fair price and did not try to sell me anything I didnt need. It was all done within a few hours too even though they were busy. I definitely recommend this place.

I decided to come here to get the brakes done on my ’12 Nissan Altima, but had been considering getting my windows tinted as well. I worked with Peter, and I ended up paying less for the brakes than I had originally planned and got a really good deal for the tint! Before I left I talked with John a little bit about what other things I may want to do with my car, and he gave me some great advice. I feel like I found a place I can trust, so thanks guys!

DO NOT COME HERE! SHADY!! Went here to get a simple HID lights installed. I had already a set installed but the ballast failed on one of them. So i went to this place to get the entire package re done brand new!. I was quoted 1hr installation time. 2 hours later the guy asks me if i wanted to i could keep my bulbs and just replace the wiring and ballast for a cheaper price. i sad no i want it all installed new!. so it took them 2 hours to tell me what i already knew. Another hours passes by i have been here for 3 hours now. I ask if my truck is ready they said yes in 5 min i went outside after they gave me my keys and immediately i notice that the lights are 2 different colors. How are you going to say my truck is ready with different color lights. Just to show how educated/trained there workers are. after another hour if them trying to fix it i hear them mumble to each other maybe we should put the new ballast instead of the old ones. WOW i could not believe my ears! I asked the guy inside who was the person in charge i guess and he says to its supposed to be new and gives them a new set after i had been here for 4 freak in hours! was late to work and everything.. This is the worst experience i have ever had. Pay extra somewhere else, this place is not worth the waste of time and headache.

I will Never go back here!!! They install audio equipment and manage to damage other audio components. Had a cd deck installed and they blew my speaker then tried to say it was a coincidence and that they would sell me a used speaker for $70. From there they gave me back my car and all the electrical components on my door no longer function. Came to the realization that for anything you install here they destroy something else on your vehicle. I don’t trust them, worst experience I have had to date with an audio shop.

Review №43

Tl;dr- went qwik auto to fix broken cassette- got quote for $70 just to take device out- installed new device for $250- found driver seat speak didn’t work- guy in the office gave $70 quote for old speaker- techinician guy checked his work and tried to make it right by replacing it what they had without extra charge- now the speaker works but driver side door does not work (window and lock button)The technician was nice but the person who was working in the office was very dishonest, rude, and unprofessional.Based on my experience I’d advise not going here to avoide unnecessary headache. Note that their positive reviews are mostly based on tint jobs not, electrical works...Went there to fix cassette player, they only gave us 2 options - pay $70 just to take out the cassette player (CD and raido worked fine) or pay $250 (discounted price) to replace with new device.Noticed right away that audio balance was off and later realized the driver seat speaker was no longer working.Went back to the shop next day and this person we were dealing with said they can replace our blown speaker for theor old one for another $70.

Review №44

Worst car parts place i’ve been to EVER. extremely unprofessional staff. Peter charged me $40 for warranty and the tint looked like it was done in the autozone parking lot. When i complained PETER was charging me to get them off for $29 a window and when i brought up that warranty he charged me for he was confused as he**. I paid for the high end tint and received trash bags on my windows! The man Peter will lie to your face and try to take every penny from you because he sees his customers as one time customers that he can rip off. SAVE YOUR MONEY. I really wish i could give this place 0 stars they don’t deserve any.

If you have a old car yeah they give you a fair price, but if you have a decent car they will try to rip you off. $300+ for window tinting? lol I had my BMW, Lexus, and Acura all tinted before for $150 and came out way better than this place. All the kindof tints they offer are literally the same, the difference I price for tints is based on their 2 year 5 year or lifetime warranty on the tints. I had bubbles all over my tints and on top of they told me it will take 3 hours finish and when I went back when they told me it was all done the front two windows werent tinted. Trust me look on Groupon before you go to this place. Youll find much better deals!!!
