DRIVE AutoCare (Hwy 101 Solana Beach)

Brian and his team are true professionals. Thanks to them my Land Rover is driving and running like a top. Thank you very much for getting me back on the road. Will use the shop again for certain and recommend it to others. Onward & Upward. Peter J. Loehfelm

They did an excellent job! I got the appointment quickly and my Mercedes was fixed in a few hours. The dealership couldn’t get me in for an appointment for 4 months.

Extremely satisfied with the check I got for them right before I left on a trip. Was able to get an appointment within a couple of days over a holiday weekend!

Bringing my other family cars here

Brian and the staff were incredibly helpful replacing my car’s battery while on vacation in the area. Would highly recommend this business for anyone in need of car repair.

My vehicle broke down on the road and I had it towed to Drive Auto Care. I called Brian before I arrived and let him know I was bringing the vehicle and what the issue was. It was late so he called me the following day with the diagnosis which I agreed to have the work completed. The next morning my vehicle was ready to be picked up. Thank you to Brian and his staff for the great service.

Brian, Service Manager, was great. His timely communications and clear explanations helped me understand the needed repairs. Workmanship appears excellent. My only concern was length of time needed to complete work.

Wonderful service with Michael and his team. Very prompt. I was able to walk in with my DMV letter stating that I needed a smog check this year. Pretty much a pain for me to do but I literally went down the street from where I live, asked a few questions and they took my car in. Took under 30 minutes and they processed the DMV report directly. Nothing more for me to do. Great service, prompt, friendly. I will use them again for other car needs. PS, I drove a BMW 428i.

Great experience. When the job was going to take longer than they had initially thought, I was given a ride home and then back to pick up the car when it was finished. I am new in town and live alone so that was a tremendous help to me!

I've taken my car to Drive several times now. Hands down the best shop I've used, they are honest, their work is quality and they get things done quickly. Couldn't recommend them higher

Our family has been using Drive for 20+ years. It's really a no-brainer for us due to their level of care and the wonderful people that work there. We have 5 cars that get serviced at Drive. There's a reason they have 5-stars!

The team at DRIVE is great. It's my new go to service and repair shop for my Jeep Cherokee. Wish I new about them years ago.

I have been coming to this shop, originally California Import Auto, for more than a decade, with multiple vehicles. They have always taken great care of me and my vehicles, so much better than going to the dealerships! They even give you a ride home if your car will be in the shop for most of the day, and then come and get you when it's done. I highly recommend them on every level.

Left truck overnight because it broke down nearby. Couldn’t have picked a better repair shop! The entire team there is professional and kept me updated on the repair process.

Best Autoshop in the business! Super honest and fair. Wait time was less than predicted. So professional and kind. I had pre-paid maintenance on our Tahoe, but we used Drive instead because of their timeless and professionalism. All around great palce

I was referred to Drive Auto by Torrey Pines Collision, the owner of which I know well.
When I called Drive Auto, Brian the manager was very welcoming and made an appointment quickly.
When I arrived for my appointment, Brian explained everything to me and told me they would look at my problem (stuck hood latch) and get back to me soon.
I got a call the next day that the latch on my hood now could be opened, but they could not get a replacement part because it was no longer available. They said they could continue to try to get a used part if I desired them to, but since I could now open the hood, I decided that was enough.
When I went to pick up my truck, one of the mechanics showed me what was done and made sure I could open the hood.
I asked how much the bill would be, but they said since all they did was bend the hood latch a little, there would be no charge. I was so grateful!
In these times when costs are so expensive, it’s so wonderful to work with people who don’t “nickel and dime” every chance they get!
I will certainly take my business to Drive Auto and send my friends there as well in the future!

The work took longer than originally anticipated and was pretty pricey, but they are so professional and always offer a ride to and from their shop.

Absolutely the best auto care I have ever had. No problem is too small. They have a yes attitude with everything. I am never stranded. Brian, Lora and crew are top notch pros!
