Great people and great repairs. Have had many things done here over the years here and trust them with my vehicles.

Called them up and let them know my catalytic convertor had been stolen. They advised me to call my insurance and see if it was covered, it is, but they dont work with insurance companies. Thats ok, they advised that since 8t is covered I can just have ut towed to my local dealership.Thanks Aiwa, as always a pleasure doing business with you!

Love this auto shop. They’re inexpensive, quick, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I definitely trust them and their services. These guys let me know that I didn’t need a service (when they could’ve gone ahead and done it and charged me quite a bit and I wouldn’t have known otherwise). You know it’s a good, honest, trustworthy shop when they tell you you dont need to spend more money on something!

I got my both headlight replaced. They originally quoted me $50 after “seeing” my car in person, knowing exactly the year made and model. When I arrived with headlight assembly, the front recipient said it’s $90 since they need to remove front bumper.When I paid the labor, I requested a receipt for work was performed in case light didn’t turn on or the front bumper didn’t install back correctly. He quickly said if it didn’t work it’s not our problem because you bought the parts. He did not consider there are other possibilities the light can go wrong i.e. improper connection upon installation and front pumper may not put back correctly.Sure enough, one light didn’t work after they returned to me. I asked him didn’t the mechanic checked all the light, the recipient respond “we check the front ones not the side one” that doesn’t even make sense to me you don’t CHECK ALL LIGHTS??? The owner was nice to explain to me after he fixed the light with a better connection part from my original part. The guy works in the front probably has one of the worse customer service I experienced, very rude and don’t hold accountability.

Lee is awesome. I took in my Toyota Camry to have the gas tank removed and fix the purge valve. He got it done with confidence and extremely good customer service. Highly recommend this establishment. 3 thumbs up.

Apart from being deep in the hood this place is awesome, I used to take my used cars here all the time. Lee and the guys are honest people and dont charge you a leg and an arm.

Ive been getting all our cars serviced at Aiwa for years. They are honest, go above and beyond at every turn. They charge very fair prices, call with updates, and always estimate time to repair accurately so you can plan around the services your car needs. As an example, my Infiniti dealer wanted to charge me $3K for a major gasket repair. Turns out, that gasket wasn’t even the problem. The Aiwa team found the actual issue, called to inform me and confirm estimate/repair. My final bill was 1/3 the cost and my sweet G35 is zooming again. I cannot more highly recommend them for all makes and models. Very happy we found them.

This auto repair shop continues to be my go to when something is wrong with my car. I started coming here when i was a starving student, and their honesty to me has continued to confirm my trust of them. Today, it was the engine light turned on,. They told me up front the diagnosis was 80.00. The problem turned out to be my son not turning the gas cap enough. No charge for my trouble. Whether I have lived in Mira Mesa or now in Chula Vista, Aiwa will be my go to place for my car, and i reccomend it be yours as well.

Aiwa is the best! I always bring my truck in to Lee at Aiwa. He is a great guy and runs an honest business. Trust Aiwa, they will get your vehicle in and out quickly at an amazingly affordable price. I always leave happy and never have any anxiety about bringing a vehicle in to the shop. I will remain a customer for life.

Review №27

Really appreciated that Robert didnt try to force me into anything. He told me what could wait to be done and even helped me decide what I could do myself based on my previous experience. As a young woman, its rare for me to be treated with that kind of respect at an auto repair shop and I really appreciated it.

Review №28

Aiwa is a fantastic place to take your car for any and all repairs. They are extremely thorough and explain what needs to be fixed and whats needed. I have been a loyal customer for 10+ years now and I wouldnt take any of my cars anywhere else.

Review №29

Love this place. Last time they worked on my car, my bill was UNDER the estimate they gave when I dropped off the car. Its wonderful to be surprised in a *good* way by your trusty long-time mechanic. Ill definitely be bringing my cars back for all their maintenance from now on. Thanks, Jhon!

Review №32

I have been going to Aiwa since my former mechanic retired about 3-4 years ago. I initially selected Aiwa because of their 5 star rating on Yelp. Being a non mechanical women, this was very important to me. Ive never had reason to regret my decision. Aiwa has always been honest, dependable, certainly reasonable cost-wise and just great to work with overall. Service reminders and cost estimates have always been appreciated and extremely helpful. I would highly recommend them!

Review №33

Whalen is a CLASS ACT! On a cross country road trip I had a leak inside the car and he squeeze me in last minute. There ended up being nothing wrong and he refused to let me give him money to check it out. Everyone else in the shop was kind and courteous as well. Good service, honest people- definitely patronize this business.

Ive been going to Aiwa for almost 5 years now and I pretty much wont take my car anywhere else. They have a talented group of mechanics and the staff has always been honest and friendly whenever I have to bring my car in. Lee does a great job managing the shop and hes always straight-forward when it comes to estimating a repair. Just be sure to make an appointment, because they are usually very busy!

Lee and his team are fantastic. Since I moved to SD in 2011 I havent been anywhere else. Lee will always suggest the most conservative solution and is only interested in making it right for his customers.

Review №41

I will never take my cars anywhere else. I cant say enough about how honest and trustworthy they are. I could write a ton of positive superlatives and paragraphs of great experiences where Lee has bailed me out ... just take my word and go there. It isnt fancy when you see it, but they do the job the way it should be done.

Review №44

Ive taken three cars to Aiwa over the last six years. The service has always been reasonable and outstanding. I constantly recommend them to friends and have never had anyone come back disappointed. The prices are very fair and their diagnostics are accurate. My advice is to call ahead and schedule an appointment. Because they are so good, they can get busy. But its usually a matter of picking the best time to bring your car in, not a matter of waiting an excessive time for service. Five stars.

I have been taking my care to Aiwa for over 10 years. Having tried different shops in this area over the years, it was my lucky day when I found Aiwa. They are first of all trustworthy, but also accurate, friendly and fast. I would not take my cars anywhere else and have recommended them to my family and friends.You will not find a better repair place to take your car.

This place is amazing. Very cheap and affordable. Changed out my oil at the fraction of the price of the Acura Dealership as well as performing key maintenance on my car. Recommend to make an appointment because theyre usually busy, which shows you how many loyal customers they have.

Aiwa Auto has been my go to mechanic for years now. I no longer have anxiety when I need repairs as they are trustworthy and actually very well priced. I regularly take my 2002 Audi Allroad there and my 2010 Mini Cooper S. This takes a huge stress off my life trusting a mechanic.

Great repair shop! They looked at my car so quickly and were in regular contact with me. My truck had broken down on the freeway. They found the problem right away and didnt try to add all kinds of extra repairs, replacements, etc. like a lot of other places do. They are also friendly.

Awia Auto Repair has been doing a great job servicing and repairing our vehicles for the last 13 years. We are always confident we will get a fair and honest diagnosis and quote when bringing our cars in for repair. Additionally, they stand behind the quality of their work. Awia is a trusted member of the community.

A very happy 2005 Audi A8L will not go anywhere else!I went to Lusti Motors for an estimate. My car was overheating and leaking coolant. They wanted over $3,000. I expected to spend some money, but this time around - forget it!!I went to AIWA Auto and I kick myself for not going there in the beginning. The staff is amazing and ALL they care about is getting your car fixed and you on the road!They are a life saver and God bless each and every mechanic there! I love you, AIWA Auto!!!

Brought my car in to get my breaks fixed on my 2008 pontiac grandprix. That did a good job of getting it done in time but charge be $311 to change my master cylinder. Got someone to pick it up for me because they was closed on the weekend and i didnt get off until after they closed. So when i go pick it up my headlights are not working. Then i call the guy back on monday and he says they didnt touch the headlights. Then he tells me that there are some other things wrong with my car but since i only came in to get my breaks and i would have to pay a $85 to diagnostic test
