If you have a car thats not covered by a warranty, you need Tony.Tony and his team are honest and fair. They dont take advantage of their clients or sell them services they dont need. Without a doubt, he is the best mechanic I have used ever.

Ive been taking my vehicles to Tony since 2015 and will never go anywhere else. I recommend him to all my friends and family and have never been disappointed.

If you want an honest, knowledgeable, affordable and friendly mechanic, go to Tonys!!! We just came back to San Diego after moving 7 years ago. I had to take my car to Tonys and hes just the best, plain and simple. Its great to have an honest and trustworthy mechanic again!

Best place to go for automotive needs. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Doesnt waste your money.

Tony is super responsive and gives you all the information on your vehicle. He is quick to get work done and really looks out for his customers. The entire crew is very helpful and want to make sure you are taken care of.

We love Tony. My husband and I have been coming to his shop for sometime now and we dont know of anyone else who wont charge us an arm and a leg for car service and repair. On the contrary, he makes it a point to get you the best deal on car parts when needed. We are now lifetime customers.

Tonys old school and very trustworthy! Go see him and his staff.

Great honest service. Great communication and tony was thorough with updates on the vehicle. Would recommend to anyone.

I was in OB on vacation when I had unexpected car troubles. I was lucky enough to find Tony’s shop and instantaneously trusted this man. He is as the other reviews depict him; honest, trustworthy, and fair. He went above and beyond to help us out even though he knew we weren’t getting the work done at his shop. I only wish he and his crew were in arizona so he could be my mechanic! Shout out to Kelly for being such a joyful and incredible receptionist, she represents the business well!

Excellent service, and the extremely knowledgeable across many vehicles. Nice to have a trusted place to take my cars.

This is the only place that I will take my car. Tony is top notch and honest and you always know that you’re going to get a great price and great service.

I got an appointment same day, was in and out, and for a very reasonable price. Will 100% come back!

Tony is a reliable mechanic. He will be honest and concern about the issues your car has more than making money out of your problem. I HIGHLY recommend his shop.

I love these guys and front desk women they are the best all good prices and Tony honest with you always respectful

I went here 5 years ago and my brakes are still good as well as my belts. I will be going here again within the next month for struts and shocks. Very friendly and good prices!

Tony and his crew are the BEST! I took my truck (2014 f150 3.5L) yesterday afternoon ( 2:00 pm 10/15/2020) with a loss of power upon acceleration to his shop. By that afternoon (5:30 pm) I was able to speak with Tony and he told me exactly what the issue was. A electronic throttle body code was the culprit. By the next day, Friday ( 4:15 pm 10/16/2020), my truck was good to go. The out the door price was FAR BElOW what I thought it would be. Tony really takes the time to explain what the issue is and what you can expect to pay. My only issue is with leaving your vehicle outside his shop. Recommend taking it there during business hours. Tony saved my fishing tournament weekend from disaster. Highly recommend 10/10.

Most trustworthy and best service hands down in San Diego area every time all the time. much respect

Tony is the nicest, most honest mechanic Ive ever dealt with. He is extremely accommodating and goes the extra mile. Very knowledgeable and is happy to share this knowledge. I will refer my friends, family, and be a life long customer!

Will definitely take my car back. Im new to San Diego. This place has good reviews so I went. Needed oil change and tune up. My check engine light was on but I totally forgot to ask them to look at it. They checked it before giving me my car back and fixed that too before I left.Parking and waiting room are basic and small. Tony does offer cold drinks and coffee and water. I couldnt work from here like Ive done at shops back home with larger waiting areas and WiFi but Tony will get you in and out as quickly as he can.

Tony and his employees are pleasant and helpful.

I am new to San Diego and tried out Tonys for the first time and was blown away! Victoria handles the front desk/phone and she is the sweetest person ever. She made me feel so welcome and was so nice to talk to. Tony and his crew fixed some serious problems with my car and he had a fantastic personality to boot! Not only that, but they took my car to a local car wash and gave me back my car freshly washed as a little surprise! I have never seen that kind of service before! Thank you for taking care of me and my car so well - I will be back :D

Personable, professional, affordable, efficient and quick! Wont go anywhere else!

Tony is a great mechanic and a great guy, he is the most honest mechanic I have ever met. I highly recommend Tony and his shop for anyone looking for a very honest and great mechanic.

Cool ppl lots of subi knowledge

A fantastic place to take my car for service. An owner/manager whose honesty is beyond belief. Prices Very reasonable. Just a good place to take my car.Now, if your looking for a place with a beautiful waiting room, comfortable fancy stuffed chairs and maybe a bit on the expensive side. This is not the place for you.Tonys just has good prices, friendly people, excellent service and good suggestions for keeping my car running for a long time.

Best auto mechanic in San Diego hands down. Most honest for sure

The owner is a great person with many years of experience. He treats both his employees and customers like family and he and his team go above and beyond in the quality work they do.

No parking and its full a lot of cars

Tony is awesome! He is very knowledgeable and honest when it comes to fixing your car. I have taken my cars here forever and never been disappointed. He has helped all my friends and family too. I call him the Car-Whisperer. If you need a genius in the auto industry and need for a repair in all aspects of your vehicle. SEE TONY!

Best mechanic shop, highly recommended. Tony has always done a good job on our cars aswell as treat us like family. Always communicates with us and always hard working and honest. Thank you TonyAlex & amber

I always test my mechanics with an oil change first. Tonys price was unbeatable. Next when my check engine light came on he changed my air flow meter and its fixed! His team is fast and friendly so when it came time for my 100,000 mile maintenance theres no one else I trust. My truck runs like a dream with my new spark plugs! Thank you! Highly recommend to anyone!!

Most honest mechanic in town

I trust nobody else with my Subaru. Absolutely fantastic work, excellent pricing, and extremely friendly.

I am so lucky that I get to live near Tonys lube and tune. I have been going here for years and Tony has never steered me wrong. I refer him out to all of my friends and I highly recommend that you go check him out.

Good service, changed spark plugs with them for my Honda. Fast, minimum waiting time. Asked them how much they would charge for a new wiper that also needed to be replaced, the owner told me they dont have them, but if buy one they will do it free of charge.

Tony has been our go to mechanic for years. His knowledge about the cars in next to none. Over the years the has taken care of my wifes Cadillac Catera, my sons Hyundai Elantra, my Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK), and my Huyndai Santa Fe and for all of these different vehicles he pretty much could pinpoint the problem. Naturally he had the diagnostics done but they always just confirmed what he told me in his office before. I can highly recommend him. His place is always super busy so give him some time and youll get unparalleled value.

Cannot thank Tony and his crew enough. He took care of my 19 WRX when it sadly broke down on the freeway and solved the issue for absolutely nothing. Completely honest guy and Im 100% certain that him and his crew can fix any car. Will be my go to mechanic for the years to come.

Great friendly service

This place found the problem and saved me about 1700

I went to several auto shops and called around different ones and they gave me Outrageous prices. For A tuneup for my f150 V8 until I called Tony. Even though I accidentally gave him wrong information. I thought I was driving a V6. He still didn’t try to over charge me when he came back and said “you’re truck is a V8” He made sure I understood everything he was going to do to my truck. He took his time with me and explained step by step what needed to be done and also what might go wrong. Like a spark plug breaking while trying to remove it. I felt safe and confident in his shop and around his staff. Now my truck runs smooth. Honest and friendly. 💞 Highly recommend.

Tony is the American Turbo Yoda. The man knows his stuff.

Love the place! Fast, uncomplicated, always helpful!!!

Honest and very reasonably priced. Been coming here for years. I take my car here for oil changes as well as anything mechanical. Always the best deals and Tony stands behind his work.Even if he cant help you, hell send you to someone who can. Been more than satisfied with all his recommendations. For example, he sent me to a tire shop to get 4 new tires on a Mercedes c250. Paid $200 out the door including installation.

Tony is the best, if you looking for a honest reliable mechanic this is the place, great customer service.

After expressing the frustration I had been experiencing with my break lights to Tony over the phone he told me to come on in. He realized that my line for my back lights was cut ! He fixed my line, hooked me up with new bulbs, and fuses! When I was preparing to pay him, he said it was no charge I am so thankful and Tony has a lifetime customer with me. WE NEED MORE GOOD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, like Tony!

Tony is honest and very friendly, the guys at the shop are also very professional and friendly. Its really convenient and genuine of them to give rides to those who will have their cars in the shop overnight. Dont know any other place that does that! Saves me money from ubering!:) Took my Subi here several times for different reasons and they get the job done everytime!:)

Cheap. Quick. Easy. Great work. Boom!

Tonys candid and professional advice is something remarkable. Consumers are well treated, no bias. A good team of workers, friendly and knowledgeable. Not rip-offs but considerate. I recommend Tonys lube n tube & brakes.

Ladys better stay from this place, if you dont know about cars they will cheat you, send 2006 toyota prius with lady and the quoted her $700 for timing belt but actually the this car dont have timing belt was only trying to get money from the her cause she doesnt know nothing about cars, bad place dont waste your time with this unprofessional place

Best Mechanic I ever had.

Tony knows his craft well and is very helpful!!

We needed help and Tony helped! My wife and I bought a car and thought we should have it checked out before we gave the owner a check. We dont live very close and called all around. TONY said, Sure I can look at it but weve have to wait a bit because he was busy. I called other places and went to one place but thought, I will wait for TONY. We or I felt very comfortable with him and we decided lets let him look at it, so we waited. Tony throughly checked out the car and explained and showed me things I had concerns about. My wife and I left from Tonys place saying, he sure is a good guy. Really, we both said that. I told my wife, we need to write a review. He is honest and a great guy. My wife said, she would take her car to him someday. This is true.

I brought my first car to Tony back in 2014, when I used to live in San Diego. Now I live near LA and I still drive down there to bring my cars and my parent’s cars to Tony. There is no other mechanic I trust here in So Cal. He’s honest and treats you right, and of course he can fix any car.

Tony is Awesome I value his word of expertise and he got my car driving safe!!!

Words cant explain how awesome Tony is as a mechanic and as a person. It blows my mind on the things he does for his customers. Ill come all the way from southbay just to be one of Tonys regular customer and no other because of the great work hes done for me. I also want to give credit to his crew for doing an awesome job. Tony hires the best for his customers. Brian is also cool.

Tony is the best & most honest mechanic I have ever been to. I have had all of the family vehicles serviced by him for over 10 years & he always treats me like family. Many family members also bring their cars and refer friends. I never hesitate to refer anyone to him and everyone raves about what a good job he does. I wish he had a bigger lot because he is always super busy, but he also always manages to squeeze you in & take care of you. He can diagnose any issues and he never up-sells you anything you do not need. Awesome guy!

Ive been taking my Audi here for years. The customer service cant be topped, and once its fixed, Ive never fails. Once and done every time. Tony is honest, and incredibly smart with engines. He will tell you exactly how your car is, and tell you exactly how to avoid future model problems (specific to your model of car). His crew is top notch, and everyone there works hard to insure everything is done in a timely manner. I recommend no one else, ever!

Always a good experience

I took a Ford Ranger here because it had a bad coolant leak. Tony the owner did a preasure test on it and showed me where it was leaking from, it turned out to be the water pump so I had him replace it. Tony seems like a very nice honest guy and will go out of his way to satisfy you. Oh by the way the diagnostic was free, Firestone wanted $79 just to do something that took Tony three minutes to do. Firestone was also double the price, so I would stay clear of Firestone for anything unless your buying tires.So far my experience with Tonys Lube N Tune & Brakes is very good and I will be taking my other vehicles to them. Finally, I might have found someone I can trust!

Tony is great and honest. Would highly recommended

This is a great place to get a oil change, brake job, or even more serious automobile service or repair work. Owner Tony Sawaya is a really cool guy he will see to it that your car gets back to you in Tip-Top shape. Dont be afraid to visit and use Tony service. Ive been going there for over 10 years and always get good treatment and my car is always running good. A complete oil change runs about $27 for an average midsize or Economy Car such as a Toyota Corolla.

Ive used Tonys twice for my 2013 Subaru WRX. First time was a clutch replacement - price was great and clutch works. Second time, I hit an animal and an ABS sensor got ripped off of where it connects to the ABS computer (and AWD needs that.) Tonys guy remade that connection instead of replacing the whole computer and saved me a ton. It took a while but worked out great.

Took my car to Firestone for ac said to bring back in 4 days. Tony did my ac same day in 30 minutes. Thanks tony. Ac is super cold. Tony is a great guy

This place is great, Tony is the man! I came here to address a self-inflicted vacuum leak with an aftermarket part. The guy at the counter was really nice and professional. I admitted it was my first visit, but their shop came highly recommended. Without any delay they introduced me to Tomy (owner) and even gave me a ride to and from my office. I cant say this en9igh, these guys are great, professional, and dont play games. I highly recommend taking your car here.

Tony is amazing. I just moved to San Diego from Ohio and, as he says, he treats you like youre family. I took my car to Firestone and they claimed my brake lines and calipers were completely rusted out and needed to be replaced. Tony cleaned the lines and found only the front brake pads and rotors needed to be replaced, for a third of the price of Firestone. Im a customer for as long as Im in San Diego.

This is the only place In San Diego where you can trust them. They are never going to rip you off. Great service and fair prices

Tony always makes time and checks my car out asap! fair pricing and fast reliable service!

Amazing customer service! Tony is THE Best hands down. He has ALWAYS taken care of me and no matter how crazy the shop is hes always so calm and so nice. He is very honest and knows pretty much everything about every vehicle Ive brought in from Subarus, to Ford fiestas, to classic Mercedez. He has a large network of shops that provide services that he doesnt like stereo work and tires. Hes the best.

NO BS!!! I have been in the military for over 14 years and moved all over the country. Ive had several different cars and several different issues. Everything from timing belts to oil changes. Getting ready to move across country and have only been here a few times however this place is no joke. Tony will break down every cost of your vehicle and show you exactly what theyre doing. Ive only been here a short time. But Tony has already saved me hundreds of dollars and completed the work faster and any dealership in the area. When local dealer ships were giving my the run around Tony personally took the time to get me the answer I needed.If you want quality work with a friendly atmosphere and a more personable experience I highly recommend come here.Thank you TonyNissan Pathfinder/GMC TERRIAN

Very knowledgeable with a large range of vehicles. Honest and hard working shop. This is The place to go if you need a tune for your Subaru or Mitsubishi in San Diego.

Tony always is honest and explains why the problem exists and answers any questions. Great customer service at all times no matter how hectic they may be. Im from out of state, feels great to have a trusty mechanic !

Tony is so helpful! Place is over flowing with cars but they do a good job and dont price gouge you

Tonys is the only place I take my cars. The guy builds race cars and knows his stuff. He is super honest and very helpful.

I have spent about 10k with tony over the past years and I feel that I have enough experience with this shop to provide a review. I took my Evolution into this shop due to having a positive experience with my STi back in 2009. My car was removed from storage after about 8 years and needed a good once over. A month after I dropped it off and 2k later, it was on the road. I dropped it off again a month later to get the inner and outer tie rods replaced which again took them a month to replace. This is an afternoon at best and an overnight after it goes into the alignment shop. I had to call about 3 or 4 times to get an update (did once before while the timing belt and other odd and end jobs were getting done) and usually didnt get much. I drove to the shop this time and was told it was at the alignment shop. Got a ride over there and picked up my car. My tie rod ends were still in the back seat. The car tracks strait but Im kind of wondering what took 28 days. One of the techs wanted the stock wheels that came with my Evo and I dropped them off with the car for the tie rod ends. We agreed upon a very reasonable price and it has been about 2 months and I have not heard anything back about getting paid for those. I have asked Tony in person (made a special trip there) and he has not called back. It is fine, if that is how transactions are completed at Tonys Lube n Tune I consider the loss of those wheels an investment, as I will not visit this shop with my other cars.Long story short: if you dont mind an insane wait, nobody knowing what is going on and nagging them for updates, you may or may not get your work done.I cant recommend this shop.

Ive gone to Tony for all my mechanic work for years. He always been honest and done the work as inexpensively as possible. In my experience hes as good as they come.

I was referred to Tony by a friend, and I am so happy with the service that I receive! Tony goes out of his way, I refer all my friends and family! I have had a lot of different type of work on my volkswagon passat and it is very reassuring to have a trust worthy person to deal with!

The best mechanic Ive been to. Been going here for years. Very honest about what you need/dont need, and gets the job done quickly and inexpensively.

Was super busy on a weekend before a holiday and overbooked. He was super nice and allowed a few people to come in on the Holiday! Oil change was a little spendy at about $40, but the service was fast.

Tony is awesome and he doesnt care if you buy your own parts. They also seem to do a lot of jdm cars

I love him Tony great mechanics as well great work very nice loving customer service

Honest person.Love working with him.

Looking for a no kidding honest mechanic? Tony is the real deal. He will never try to do work you dont need or ask for, and he will fix things if he makes a mistake. He once spent 4 hrs trying to figure out why my battery kept dieing, when he figured it out, there was no charge because he could not repair the cars security system that was causing the drain. I tipped the mechanic for his time.Down side: location. Hard ro get into, hard to find parking, and its too small for his quickly growing loyal customer base.

Fun but took a while

Best Server

They are very friendly and the customer service is professional.
