T P Auto Repair & Smog Center

I relied on reviews to find this business, and they did not steer me wrong! I am extremely impressed with the excellent and speedy service, as well as the professional and friendly approach of both mechanic and office staff. The owner fit in the minor repair my car needed to get smog certificate, and completed it quickly and at a fair price. I will definitely use this shop again.

Awesome experience at this neighborhood spot. They were very friendly and honest off the bat (hard to find in a mechanic these days) and didn’t try to sell me on anything more than I needed. They even let me know I could probably squeeze another month out of my brakes if I really wanted to. I asked if the work could be done by a certain time and they were able to prioritize my car on top of everything so I didn’t even need to get a rental. You don’t find businesses with a 5-star review on Google, and this business has one with over 1600 reviews, so that should give you an idea of the type of service you will get! This will be my go-to spot going forward.

So happy I found this business. Was looking for an oil change spot in the area and didn’t want to go to an “express” oil change place. During my search I happened to drive by this business (it’s a little hidden and tucked away) off El Cajon Blvd. They were super friendly and accommodating as I was able to easily make an appointment. The oil change took about an hour as quoted, and their text notification system makes it very convenient. Service was affordable too. I support independent and local, and I highly recommend this business.
