Had an issue with my car overheating on my way home from work one morning. I called the owner and he said hed take a look. I was worried it wouldnt drive again, but with the help of this mechanic I am able to drive my car again. They showed me what exactly was wrong, and showed me the busted parts on my car that caused it. Very honest and would highly recommend to anyone else that needs quick repairs.

Owner is very accommodating going so far as to share lunch with us. Service with a smile and a slice! He honored a Vet fallen on hard times and did it with class and dignity.

Friendly and fast service. They made me feel comfortable right away, and didn’t try to sell me on service that I didn’t need. I’ll definitely go back to them the next time my car needs anything. I would recommend them to anyone.

I came in for an oil change/ possibly leak and Kamal and Vince were very friendly and helpful. They inspected my car diagnosed the issue and explained everything in detail. They did not have the oil type my car needed and Kamal the owner went out and beyond to have it delivered here and gave me a real good price. I strongly recommend Magic Lube & Auto Repair. My husband and I always come here to get our oil change.

Lets just say that 5 stars isnt enough! I have never been to a mechanic where I felt so at peace knowing theyre taking great care of my car and that they will be totally honest about what it needs, every step of the way. What knowledgeable, practical, and kind service! The owner clearly takes pride in being a businessman with integrity and it is a rare and wonderful thing!

New to town and totally helpless when it comes to cars, but Kamal and his team were so kind and understanding to me, didn’t have to wait at all and everything was laid out and explained very transparently. Oil change was done in 5 minutes, and they even helped patch up some other rough areas free of charge. Such a great experience, coming out of a garage with my “second dad in San Diego”! These people will look after you!

Needed an oil change, I used to go dealership for service. Came in and 10 minutes later everything was done. The mechanics are very friendly and professional. Even got an air filter and all for a price less than dealership. Highly recommend! Found my new place. Thanks

Best Auto Repair Shop Ive found in SD yet!! The employees and manager are super nice and fair when it comes to pricing and the customers needs. What I thought was a transmission issue turned out to be a faulty sensor. Thanks you guys for repairing the gas sensor in such a timely and efficient way :) I will definitely visit in the future!

These guys helped us out and were the best. We were on a road trip and they made sure we stayed with them until they figured out the problem. They didnt want to just call and say how much we owed them but instead wanted to figure out the best and cheapest way for us to get our car fixed. 10/10 would recommend!

Ive had one of the best experiences working with these gentlemen. They are very honest and helpful with any questions or concerns you may have, even if you dont plan to get things done right away. When I finally did return to have my car fixed there, it was fixed in a matter of a couple hours and fixed correctly. I always go directly to them for any questions or concerns. I cant even explain how much money they have saved me just by being honest and getting the job done quickly and efficiently...

Review №21

These guys were honest and straightforward. They replaced my clutch for a reasonable price and it functions perfectly. I was able to have my old parts back to inspect and see why it needed replaced. They went out of their way to find a lug nut key (since I forgot to leave mine in the car), so I wouldnt have to make another trip to the shop. Also, they went ahead and topped off my manual transmission fluid for free. Thanks, and I will return with future car repair needs.

The gentlemen here were so kind and were willing to explain everything to me without being the least bit condescending. They changed my oil and filters in an extremely timely manner. Ive never had a more pain free experience when having my car taken care of!

Review №24

Not only are they genuinely concerned with the health of your vehicle, but they also take the time to educate you on how to take care of it yourself, as well as on some of the subtleties that make your model different or special. They also tell you the things your dealership doesnt want you to know, which is a plus. Great hospitality too.

The owner, Kamal is very friendly, thorough and fast. Ive been here three times and each time I leave knowing that they did exactly what was necessary and no added sales pitches. I trust these guys, they will treat you like family. Very fair prices and very speedy service. Magic Lube is the only mechanic Ill see in all of San Diego.

I was having trouble with my car and a friend suggested I go to this place. He said they did a great job taking care of his Ford when he had a problem. I went ahead and gave them a try, and was very happy that I did!! They are very friendly, very professional, and very HONEST, hard to find these days. They dont charge an arm and a leg either. I feel very comfortable coming here in the future, having established a relationship with these guys. Thanks again, car is running fantastic!

Honda completely messed up my air filters. They wanted to charge 90 plus dollars to change it, which also causes me to run out of gas fast. I came to magic lube and and the owner kamal was so helpful and prices are very reasonable. He told me the truth about how Honda takes money from innocent people, they honestly do. I am coming to magic lube from here on out thank you so much to kamal and the team ❤️

I didnt have any work done on my car but the guy was great. I needed him to look at my suspension because my car started pulling real hard to the right all of the sudden. He had me pull up and inspected it and said everything was fine and all I needed was an alignment. (He referred me to another shop because he doesnt have the equipment to do alignments.) I would go back to him because he seemed like a person that was very honest and ran a good shop. Everything was clean and everyone was very nice. I would go back if I needed something done for sure.

This place was a godsend. Oil light came on and I knew I wasnt due for an oil change. They were busy and I was prepared to wait. Jamal, owner, came out and he said he would take care of me. Less than a cup of oil and very black even though just had my oil changed 5 weeks ago. He checked for leaks and found none. Precision, in El Cajon, has always done my oil and filter. They changed the filter but not my oil. I was told had I driven much longer my engine would have siezed. Jamal showed me the oil he drained and explained all he did. If you want excellent service a fair price and people who really care, go to Magic Lube at 1759 Euclid Ave and talk with Jamal!PAMELA J.

Just moved from LA to SD and found magic lube & auto repair one day when my car was due for an oil change. Kamal and his team are so kind and honest. They don’t try to rip you off or up sell you on anything you don’t need. I love that, especially being a female who doesn’t know too much about car stuff. Thank you Kamal! I will keep returning here for my car services!

Fantastic place to go and get your car worked on. They were able to fix my 93 Corollas radiator and fixed the position my alternator (I had placed it wrong and that caused my water pump to blow up my radiator). I took my 04 Mustang and the owner taught me basic car maintenance which I really appreciated. Im defiantly coming back to get my transmission and engine leak fix.

Exactly what you hope for when working with a mechanic shop. I have used this place three times now. Amazing transmission work, smog check repair, and brake work at a fair price. I strongly recommend this place and intend to go back if I ever need another repair.

Review №48

Guy sold me a used battery saying he guarantees it 3 months that it wouldnt fail. Later, the battery couldnt hold a charge after a 20 min run and so not even 24 hours I go back to return the battery and bossman here said he was only gonna give back 2/3 of what I bought it for. Scam.

Review №49

First time coming here today and was surprisingly very pleased with the service ! I called to get a quote and the owner answered and told me it would be $40 for my 2001 Honda Accord LX. Already less than the place I would go to by Point Loma Midway. I could tell my car needed the oil change already, it even felt rough so I needed to do it today and he said bring it in! The mechanic and the receptionist guy couldnt get their names but are very nice and greeted us right away and got started. I told them I had all the necessary stuff I bought at auto zone already since my dad was going to change it for me but hadnt had the time and so they only charged for the labor! About $25! I will be coming here all the time now as its much closer to my house! Its right across the Arco. Really recommend this place!

I called after 3:45 for a smog certification, and expected to be told to try tomorrow. Vince told me to come on in and that it only would take 15 mins. I arrived at 4:15 and sure enough I was out of there in about 15 mins. Vince was very personable and the other guy was too. It was totally painless, I didnt even feel like I was waiting on my car. The service was fast, accurate and efficient. I will definately return and highly recommend their place to others!

Review №63

Took my Audi to check out the engine light warning. Since I was there, I decided to do my 55K maintenance as well. Kamal (the owner) said he would charge me $45 for the minor maintenance and $120 for the diagnostic. Unfortunately, they were unable to find the cause of the problem because the Audi is a newer car. Kamal didnt charge me for both the $120. He didnt even charge me for the maintenance service even though I would be happy to pay it. Needless to say, I was happy with the experience. Kamal and his crew were highly honest and professional. I would definitely recommend my family and friends to this shop.

Review №65

About 6 years ago my 4runner transmission would just stop tranmissioning at the worst times. Very intermittent. So my buddy and I removed the tranny which included the transfer case. I found Magic lube and brought the tranny down for Vince to repair. We installed it and had little issue that Vince fixed.Flash Forward to 11-2015 (about 90K miles later), the old 4runner crapped out, but you know what, the transmission was working perfectly, no issues for 6 years (no preventative service at either).So Vince does good work that lasts.

This guy charged my 94$ to change my spark plugs I though I was getting a tune up and all he did was change the spark plugs then they tried to charge me 127.00$ for just a diagnostic. I went to D Mar auto repair it cost 25$ for a diagnostic. This place is a ripppppp offffff!!!!!
