SD Auto Repair & Body - Small Diesel Engine Repair, Manual Transmission Maintenance in El Cajon CA

I have a 2011 335i BMW and came in on a tow truck due to a snapped belt. Not only did these guys replace it but looked way deeper into what caused it. Something 2 other shops missed. And even after that the car broke down again due to some faulty parts under warranty at the other shop. These guys helped me get the car towed back to LA overnight. These guys went way above and beyond what is expected from any shop or dealer at this point. The price was fair and to the point. They didn't bounce around or leave me stranded. Got the car back to me as soon as they could and honestly if I lived here I would come back for standard work. Without a doubt would go back to these guys again if I need to

Very honest and experienced people, John and Sam are the best, My wife has Honda Accord 2017 with the Ac not working and needed a specific part to be replaced that requires the whole dashboard to be unassembled and put back together. The dealership asked for literally triple what those guys asked for in-spite of the fact that I bought the car from the dealer (Honda of El Cajon) and drove it 40 k only, the dealer said warranty ends by 36k.

Anyway dropped the car in the morning and picked it up by 3 pm. They put it back like original. I was so happy with the repair. They did not even accept any tip. Now the car is back like new!

I got lucky finding this place through a recommendation and they did a 300zx timing kit for less than anyone else I talked to and did it way quicker than I had hoped for and made sure their work was solid. If you're on a budget and need something done then quick this is a great place to go and I'll be back for more services soon. None of my usual small complaints are worth noting. Sam was so accommodating and clearly earns the business of all customers who come in contact with him.

Where can you find a shop that will give you a five year warranty for a 2007 MB C280. I am lucky to find one with a reasonable price. Look for Sam and you will have peace of mind after tslking to this honest to goodness guy. Thiugh

Recommended by a friend for my older BMW i was afraid of how much this would cost and it was such an excellent experience! Quickly diagnosed i was out in less than an hour and the cost was so incredibly reasonable. SAM and his crew were so professional and courteous. Definitely a shop to recommend and go back to if needed!

It's funny to see all the positive comments but everyone I know that had work done said that they were unprofessional, rude, and did poor work.using parts from a junkyard and claiming it's new

Best auto shop great service unbeatble prices very honest, sam will check your car and wont charge you untill he fixes the issue. I an glad I found this place

This is the absolute best place to get serviced for everything your car needs from collision, paint, repair and everything in between! The staff are very professional and friendly and most of all, HONEST! I have been coming here for years and I have never been disappointed whatsoever. To me honesty is everything! If my car doesn’t need a certain service, they will advise me not to get it. If you think this is too good to be true, give them a try and you’ll never go back to your mechanics. San Diego Repair and Bodyis amazing for all your automobile needs! Thank you Sam for being simply awesome!

I choose SD auto repair due to their consistency on excellent service and unbeatable prices. They treat you like a family and always honest about what's needs to be done. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have been coming to Sam for years. We were highly recommended to Sam and SD Auto from another mechanic we trusted was too busy at the time to help us and we never looked back. He's honest and will always try to give you the cheapest deal in town. We have done so much work with him from oil changes, to tire changes and even major repairs. Sam and his crew are knowledgeable and always do a great job. My wife and i have recommended so many people and they all agree he's the best in East County.

SD Auto Repair & Body Shop is the best out here, best customer service & Trustworthy, no lacking they get the job done when you want it to be done, I don’t think any other shop can beat their prices for parts and labor, Sam is a really cool dude been going to him for years best in SD, highly recommend

Everyone at this shop that I have come in contact with has been very helpful. Sam goes over and above to make sure my car is running properly, I have always been very satisfied with their service. Their lot is always full of cars and people dropping off and picking up. If you want to go to a repair shop that will fix the problem, charge you fairly and treat you professionally try this shop.
