Morena Automotive, San Diego CA

Bubba and Brian have fixed my car up multiple times now, the last time when I was in a pinch, and can't be more grateful. They are always kind and accommodating and I feel like they are truly honest with me. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy and friendly mechanic. Thanks so much!

I hired a mobile mechanic to change the pads on my wife's car.the guy did something stupid and broke the piston and rear caliper. The next day I took the car to Bryan at Morena Automotive, according to him, they removed the air from the system and ran the scanner. I paid $302 for this service. I took the car and drove to OB the first time I use the parking brake the lights all came back on the dashboard. They asked me to take the car back to the shop, they plugged in the scanner and obviously nothing happened as they just erased the errors. They sent me away and I lost $302 for nothing. So unprofessional. To our neighbors in Clairemont and Linda Vista, I do not recommend this workshop.

Amazing place! Great customer service:). This is now my new favorite place to take my car into. Very reliable and trustworthy staff! Thanks guys

Great service for a great price! Brian was awesome to work with and got my car in and out of the shop within a few hours

Brian and Bubba are tremendous! Found them on Yelp and they delivered! I had a Volvo going in for a smog check and it was failing so I needed a mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem. These guys are super friendly and honest. They ran their diagnostics and found at least one problem that was fixed with a simple remedy (new gas cap). Then they had me run through some exercises with car before making sure the car was ready for the smog test. 20 mins later went to a smog station and it passed! Thanks guys! I was pretty anxious about this and you made it easy and affordable. You’ve earned a client for life!

Needed brakes for my Kia and dealt with Bubba, who was great! He managed to get the brakes done in a very short period of time, and at less than the estimate. This is the second time I have used this business and they have been honest, timely and perform great work. I trust them, and you should too! Go Bubba!

My friend Bubba has helped me out multiple times. Great friendly shop.
Bubba explained everything that needed to be taken care of now and what future repairs to expect. Pedro is a super mechanic. Thanks Morena

Bubba is the best…. Him and his crew took great care of me. It also helps he’s originally from back east, like myself. Definitely the best! Thanks!

Work done on 2001 Chevy
Informative about needs and prices. Very personable service and work done on time.
Highly recommended

Great experience with Brian & Bubba over here! I thought I needed a new alternator or battery from some bad advice. The guys helped test my battery and alternator and it turns out I did not need to replace either one yet. Thank you for your guidance fellas, I'll be back when it is time to replace them:)

These guys went above and beyond in acquiring difficult to find parts for my car. I had some components under the car that were rusted and the mechanic kindly walked me through the process he was going to take to remove and replace them. Very clear communication.

Absolute quality! I brought my Subaru for a CEL here after getting them recommended by a fellow Subaru owner. The team at Morena automotive diagnosed it and found a quick solution after I had brought it in. They even recommended a smog shop as I needed to register my vehicle in state and followed up a few days later. If I ever run into other issues I'm definitely coming back.

Reputation is paramount in the auto repair business. Bubba, Bryan and the team at Morena Automotive work to provide a transparent customer experience. They provide an honest explanation of repair scope, costs and timelines. Great job Morena Automotive!

2nd time here. Love this place. Good communication and quick diagnosis and repair. Don't see myself going anywhere else.

There are a lot of amazing reviews about this place… so I decided to give them a call about my car dilemma. It is a very simple issue that involves my cooking fan. When I called and was explaining the issue (keep in mind it is 9am on a Friday) he literally CUT ME OFF asking “Have you been here before? ” And I said no… then he says very rudely “We’re all booked today and closed Saturday and Sunday. We can’t do anything for you” No “Sorry” no “We can get you in sometime next week, sorry you have to wait. ” No “We can try and take a look between customers. ” NOTHING! Lost a customer before you even had one… attitude is everything!

After reading his exceptional reviews, I called Brian at Morena Automotive for a problem with my 2005 Prius. What a wonderful family business! So professional and helpful, Brian knew my problem called for a Prius expert named Will at SD Hybrids (also on Morena). Will took care of my car the same day, and I couldn't be happier (see his review). However, I would not have known about the specific Prius skills Will had, without the great referral by Brian. If you have a difficult issue on your Prius, call Will first. And if you need a skilled, honest and responsible mechanic for all your other cars, please give Brian a call. What a super experience finding two of the most experienced, honest and nicest mechanics in the business. Thanks Brian (and Will).
