Honestly just knowing this place exists for me to go to for car stuff brings me genuine mental peace. Ron and the guys are extremely on point and efficient, they are very honest, genuine and down-to-earth. I had a weird noise that kept coming up, and Ron and I went for a drive on the spot to square it away - never seen this kind of service anywhere before. Having interacted with them previously it was made known that I personally am very receptive to as much information/knowledge as possible, and Ron happily explained to me everything, that too very intuitively. Cant say enough great things about place - my go to spot for repairs in the San Diego area. Its not a swanky/flashy location, but they get the right job done quickly, honestly, and at really fair prices + they take care of their customers - I genuinely couldnt care for any more than that.

Ive been to Rons a few times for oil changes/maintenance and absolutely love it here. Every is nice, professional, and upfront about the costs. I highly recommend this place and am taking in my wifes car soon!

Long overdue review but my truck is holding up fantastically,Came in with a broken power steering module, they had fair estimates and replaced more stuff on my car I needed to get done I knew about beforehand- meaning they really did search over my truck, everything checked out perfectly!3 days I think to totally replace everything and I couldn’t be happier, highly recommend this place :)

I would highly recommend Rons Auto Clinic for their honest and reliable service as well as affordability. Ive been bringing my car to Rons for over 3 years and I always trust their assessment and know that the work has been done correctly and at a fair price. In the past, I have definitely experienced the pain of taking my car to a shop that either felt they could take advantage of me or didnt resolve my car repairs the right way. I am always assured that the mechanics at Rons are truly taking care of my car with my safety in mind. I really appreciate that.

They are amazing! Ive been going to Rons since I moved here over 3 years ago because they came highly recommended. They are honest, incredibly fair, and kind people. I just moved further away but make the 45 minute drive because of how much trust I have for their work.

I remember my first time going to Rons... my truck was only starting intermittently and I had no idea why. He popped the hood and basically called me back to say Your battery terminals just came loose. Come pick up your truck. Haha! I knew right then I found an honest place.Ive gone to Rons for a good few years now. Thankfully I havent needed him much! But in the few times Ive had him service my vehicle, its been a great experience. Ron is very direct, but I appreciate that about him. He isnt afraid to say This is what I would do if it were my car, but in the same breath hold you accountable for making a decision. He doesnt have a crystal ball, so all he can do is give his best recommendation and then prioritizes with you if you cant afford all repairs. He is huge on your safety though, and some things he is not willing to make an exception on. I can respect that.Speaking of affordability, Rons prices are incredibly reasonable. He quoted me about $500 for a pretty big brake job. Just to do due diligence, I called around and even shopped the parts alone, there was no way I could have gotten another professional mechanic to beat his estimate.Every time I have gotten work done here, I walk away feeling good. Both about the money invested in my vehicle as well as the quality of work received. Finding a good mechanic is like finding a good dentist... when you find one you like, you dont go anywhere else!PS. His staff is awesome as well. They are super efficient and very communicative!

Rons is on top of their game for sure. Very communicative, even though they are really busy (which is a good thing). I feel good bringing my truck here because I know they wont overcharge and will do everything needed.

Rons really helped us out. Found all the problems and worked with our budget so we could get the necessary work done. We recommend Rons to everyone.

Rons Auto Clinic has fixed two persistent problems that I was not able to get resolved at other shops. They really know their stuff, theyre very thorough and they take the time to explain the details to you. Great quality work.

I have been going to Rons Auto Clinic for a few years now. They are friendly people to speak with. Ron is great about informing you of issues to be worked on and he will tell you what is critical vs can wait. This is why I am happy to have them work on my vehicle.

Amazing service! Highly recommend. They even took their time to call my dad and send pictures of my car to explain what was wrong with my car.

I’ve been going to Ron’s for about five years and highly recommend. They are honest, fairly priced, accurate with time estimates, and extremely courteous. I absolutely trust them and go out of my way to bring my car there since I no longer live in the neighborhood.

I probably first met Ron around 99 when I needed work done on my 89 Firebird. There were so many issues including one no one else had a clue for the cause. He figured it all out and got the thing running so well I never went to any other mechanic again after, and recommended him to everyone I knew.Definitely a miracle worker, hard worker, and very fair, affordable, and brilliant when it comes to his craft.

Excellent AAA+ service with a smile. Ron is there every day from dawn till dusk and beyond making sure each person and their vehicle gets treated right! Extra hard working and accurate. Simply the best auto shop around!

A friend recommended Rons to me and Ive had several good experiences bringing my cars to them, 1st with my 2001 Toyota Rav 4 and now with my 2013 Highlander. I generally bring my car to the dealer for scheduled maintenance and then the dealer lets me know what issues my car is having or may have. I bring my car to Rons for those services (brake replacement, fuel line cleaning etc.) and that saves me quite a bit! I feel Rons Auto Clinic prices are fair and they make the process of car repair pleasant. Plus, I recently messed up my bumper a little but and it was flapping around a little and they fixed that without me even asking about it at my most recent visit. That was super nice!

I doubt anyone looks forward to going to the dentist or the mechanic, but I trust Ron. He knows cars. For many years, hes been giving me good advice - what needs to be done now, and what can wait. Try Ron, youll like him.

Ron and his staff have always been great. Ive been going there for about 2 years now. Ive always felt like Ive been treated honestly. Its a little hard to find. The garage sits down in a hole off the street . Its easy to miss when looking for it. We have 3 cars and the service has always been good.

Ron’s is the best! Ron and his staff are so very kind, professional and reasonably priced. Their communication and quality of work is fantastic and they have their clients’ best interests in mind.

I brought my 2004 Subaru Legacy to Ron and his team when it was in need of more than a few repairs, I had just towed a trailer from Seattle to San Diego with it and there were a lot of noises to be diagnosed. I dropped it off in the morning and by mid day was on the phone with Ron and he was going over the list of repairs, I couldn’t afford all of them and he took the time to actually think about my vehicle and my situation and helped me decide what was a top priority and what could wait. The next day I picked my car up and it was running like a dream, drives like its brand new! Thanks so much Ron, Danny and JJ!

I took my wives Jeep here to get a water pump replacement. We made an appointment for the first available hour they had of the day (8am) . They were late (about 40 minutes), and then when they finally got the vehicle we were told it would only take a few hours. Fast forward it is 4pm I call because I am concerned about how long it is taking (they close at 5pm) and said that they needed to get a part and that they were going to go send someone to pick up the part. We ended up not getting the car back until about 7pm. My wife ended up picking the vehicle up and came back home. Later when I asked her how much it cost it was over $600 for a water pump. The receipt showed that the main cost was the labor (which was expected), but what wasnt expected was the time frame it took. They charged us for 5 hours of labor and said they gave us a discount.I personally have replaced water pumps before, but couldnt work on our Jeep since moving to San Diego we werent familiar with a place to diy repairs for vehicles. I am not an experienced mechanic, but know that I could accomplish the task in 5 hours. The reason to pay for someone else to do these types of jobs is because they should be able to complete the task quickly and professionally. They didnt call us to let us know there was issues getting a part. They didnt update us at all. We had to call every single time to pry information out of them and then at the end of it all they charged us for the labor time it would take to teach an amateur to do the work. We live right around the corner from this shop and if we had a good experience we would love to do more business with them. It would be incredibly convenient and mutually beneficial, but due to the horrible communication and poor pricing ethics we wont be taking any of our vehicles here again.

My husband and I found Rons Auto Clinic after hearing recommendations from our neighbors. My teen daughter had been given her grandmothers old car and it had a lot of problems. Ron was very open and honest about what was worth fixing and when it was time to cut our losses and get a newer car for her. We now bring all of our family cars to Ron, even just for basic oil changes. The place is not fancy, but more than makes up for it in service. Everyone who works there is polite and absolutely professional in everything they do. They even call two weeks later to make sure everything is still good with your car, even after something so simple as an oil change!If I could give more stars than 5 I would.

Rons Auto Clinic is exactly the type of mechanic shop that I have been looking for all my life! Seriously, the days of honest mechanics who take pride in their work and care more about the customers instead of a profit are long gone....so I thought, until I met Ron and his amazing staff. He was honest about my situation, explaining to me the common defects in the car I drive, and the recommendations on how to best correct the issues. It will be a sad day when I move away from San Diego because finding a new mechanic wherever I end up will be extremely difficult considering the big shoes they will have to fill.

Very responsive and helpful, nice detailed invoices explaining what work was done. We have been there multiple times and always great service.

Ive been going to Rons for over 5 years now and recommend all of my friends here. Ron is straight to the point and fair which I apprecaite!His staff is friendly & always accommodating. Prices are great as well! Thanks Ron, JJ & Danny!

He is honest. Does the work on time, most times before the what he tells me. His staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with the work. Danny and JJ always seem to have a smile.

I recommend this auto clinic to everyone!Their rates are low and the staff is very friendly. You do need to book an appointment almost a week in advance because they are so busy.They lack the newer computerized systems for newer cars but for an old school mechanic this place cant be beat!Thanks Rons Auto!

Had a wobble while accelerating, I thought it was an engine mount but I was wrong. Both of the front axels were bad and needed replaced. Ron took the vehicle in at 830 and had it back to me by 5. Everything is working well and while doing comparisons online I found that the total amount charged (parts labor and other maintenance) was less than the expected rate for a single axle replacement alone! Prompt, courteous, and friendly! Would recommend! Probably going to bring my girlfriends car here in the near future as well.

Rons is simply the best. Ive taking two cars to him over the years and I always get great service and a fair price. I wouldnt take my vehicles anywhere else.

I used to go to Express Tires to get my oil changed and every time I did, they would come back with a whole list of things my car needed. I have a friend at work who referred me to Rons and I took it in for an evaluation. Ron did such a great job of explaining what my car needed, what could wait until I could afford to have done and called me with an estimate on the brakes. I did have my front brake pads replaced, rotors turned, and he adjusted and cleaned the back brakes and hand brake too. The cost was so reasonable I couldnt even believe how great Im feeling with the work he performed on my car. The other projects are a bit costly, so I have time to save aside and have them done in about 3 months. I would recommend Rons Auto Clinic to any and everyone who likes an honest place to take their vehicle. Thank you Ron, Danny and team for such a great job.

I had brakes installed on my FJ cruiser last summer at Rons. A few months ago they started to squeal when I backed out of my driveway. There wasnt alot of wear on them and Ron replaced them free or charge. I appreciate their kind, honest, and speedy service with reasonable prices. Go there!

Ron and brother are awesome. I have been using them for years and love them. Fair, Honest and reliable. If something aint broken, then it dont need fixing.

They are truly honest mechanics who look out for the best interest of their clients. That alone would be good enough for a recommendation, but what sets them apart is their thorough investigation of the problem with your car and the quality of their work in resolving it.

Best mechanic in San Diego. Place is super friendly, knowledgeable and efficient.

Ron is patient, knowledgeable. Staff is all very nice and helpful! Service was top notch!

Have used these guys for five years running. Honest, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. If you like to be on a first-name basis with your mechanic, this is your place.

Ron & Danny were extremely helpful. Great people to work with.

Great service. Cares about the customer and what can be done now or wait. Thanks Ron

Ron is a trustworthy and gifted mechanic. I wouldnt take my car to anyone else.

Trustworthy family operated business, would not trust going to any other business.

I’ve been going to them for years, highly recommended. Don’t give me the run-around, and they do not try to sell me something I don’t need.
