Ron's Auto Clinic, San Diego CA

Honestly just knowing this place exists for me to go to for car stuff brings me genuine mental peace. Ron and the guys are extremely on point and efficient, they are very honest, genuine and down-to-earth. I had a weird noise that kept coming up, and Ron and I went for a drive on the spot to square it away - never seen this kind of service anywhere before. Having interacted with them previously it was made known that I personally am very receptive to as much information/knowledge as possible, and Ron happily explained to me everything, that too very intuitively. Cant say enough great things about place - my go to spot for repairs in the San Diego area. Its not a swanky/flashy location, but they get the right job done quickly, honestly, and at really fair prices + they take care of their customers - I genuinely couldn't care for any more than that.

Long overdue review but my truck is holding up fantastically,

Came in with a broken power steering module, they had fair estimates and replaced more stuff on my car I needed to get done I knew about beforehand- meaning they really did search over my truck, everything checked out perfectly!

3 days I think to totally replace everything and I couldn’t be happier, highly recommend this place:)

I've been to Ron's a few times for oil changes/maintenance and absolutely love it here. Every is nice, professional, and upfront about the costs. I highly recommend this place and am taking in my wife's car soon!

Ron's really helped us out. Found all the problems and worked with our budget so we could get the necessary work done. We recommend Ron's to everyone.

They are amazing! I've been going to Ron's since I moved here over 3 years ago because they came highly recommended. They are honest, incredibly fair, and kind people. I just moved further away but make the 45 minute drive because of how much trust I have for their work.

I would highly recommend Ron's Auto Clinic for their honest and reliable service as well as affordability. I've been bringing my car to Ron's for over 3 years and I always trust their assessment and know that the work has been done correctly and at a fair price. In the past, I have definitely experienced the pain of taking my car to a shop that either felt they could take advantage of me or didn't resolve my car repairs the right way. I am always assured that the mechanics at Ron's are truly taking care of my car with my safety in mind. I really appreciate that.

Ron's is on top of their game for sure. Very communicative, even though they are really busy (which is a good thing). I feel good bringing my truck here because I know they won't overcharge and will do everything needed.

Ron's Auto Clinic has fixed two persistent problems that I was not able to get resolved at other shops. They really know their stuff, they're very thorough and they take the time to explain the details to you. Great quality work.

I remember my first time going to Ron's.my truck was only starting intermittently and I had no idea why. He popped the hood and basically called me back to say "Your battery terminals just came loose. Come pick up your truck. " Haha! I knew right then I found an honest place.

I've gone to Ron's for a good few years now. Thankfully I haven't needed him much! But in the few times I've had him service my vehicle, it's been a great experience. Ron is very direct, but I appreciate that about him. He isn't afraid to say "This is what I would do if it were my car", but in the same breath hold you accountable for making a decision. He doesn't have a crystal ball, so all he can do is give his best recommendation and then prioritizes with you if you can't afford all repairs. He is huge on your safety though, and some things he is not willing to make an exception on. I can respect that.

Speaking of affordability, Ron's prices are incredibly reasonable. He quoted me about $500 for a pretty big brake job. Just to do due diligence, I called around and even shopped the parts alone, there was no way I could have gotten another professional mechanic to beat his estimate.

Every time I have gotten work done here, I walk away feeling good. Both about the money invested in my vehicle as well as the quality of work received. Finding a good mechanic is like finding a good dentist.when you find one you like, you don't go anywhere else!

PS. His staff is awesome as well. They are super efficient and very communicative!

Amazing service! Highly recommend. They even took their time to call my dad and send pictures of my car to explain what was wrong with my car.

I have been going to Ron's Auto Clinic for a few years now. They are friendly people to speak with. Ron is great about informing you of issues to be worked on and he will tell you what is critical vs can wait. This is why I am happy to have them work on my vehicle.

I probably first met Ron around 99 when I needed work done on my 89 Firebird. There were so many issues including one no one else had a clue for the cause. He figured it all out and got the thing running so well I never went to any other mechanic again after, and recommended him to everyone I knew.
Definitely a miracle worker, hard worker, and very fair, affordable, and brilliant when it comes to his craft.

I doubt anyone looks forward to going to the dentist or the mechanic, but I trust Ron. He knows cars. For many years, he's been giving me good advice - what needs to be done now, and what can wait. Try Ron, you'll like him.

I had brakes installed on my FJ cruiser last summer at Rons. A few months ago they started to squeal when I backed out of my driveway. There wasnt alot of wear on them and Ron replaced them free or charge. I appreciate their kind, honest, and speedy service with reasonable prices. Go there!

Very responsive and helpful, nice detailed invoices explaining what work was done. We have been there multiple times and always great service.

I brought my 2004 Subaru Legacy to Ron and his team when it was in need of more than a few repairs, I had just towed a trailer from Seattle to San Diego with it and there were a lot of noises to be diagnosed. I dropped it off in the morning and by mid day was on the phone with Ron and he was going over the list of repairs, I couldn’t afford all of them and he took the time to actually think about my vehicle and my situation and helped me decide what was a top priority and what could wait. The next day I picked my car up and it was running like a dream, drives like its brand new! Thanks so much Ron, Danny and JJ!

I’ve been going to Ron’s for about five years and highly recommend. They are honest, fairly priced, accurate with time estimates, and extremely courteous. I absolutely trust them and go out of my way to bring my car there since I no longer live in the neighborhood.

I've been going to Ron's for over 5 years now and recommend all of my friends here. Ron is straight to the point and fair which I apprecaite!

His staff is friendly & always accommodating. Prices are great as well! Thanks Ron, JJ & Danny!

A friend recommended Ron's to me and Ive had several good experiences bringing my cars to them, 1st with my 2001 Toyota Rav 4 and now with my 2013 Highlander. I generally bring my car to the dealer for scheduled maintenance and then the dealer lets me know what issues my car is having or may have. I bring my car to Ron's for those services (brake replacement, fuel line cleaning etc.) and that saves me quite a bit! I feel Ron's Auto Clinic prices are fair and they make the process of car repair pleasant. Plus, I recently messed up my bumper a little but and it was flapping around a little and they fixed that without me even asking about it at my most recent visit. That was super nice!

Ron’s is the best! Ron and his staff are so very kind, professional and reasonably priced. Their communication and quality of work is fantastic and they have their clients’ best interests in mind.
