Mechanics sent from god, hands down the most honest men I have ever met. Stopped me from spending 900$ on a part just to do me a favor. You want these two working on your vehicle
I have an older model Honda Pilot that I have literally taken to 4 other mechanics (to include the dealer!) and no one could sort out an engine issue. These guys did it on the first try. They also did it on a last minute basis, spent extra time explaining the situation to my wife who took the car in and then actually followed up several times to make sure things were okay still. I have NEVER seen that. Simply the best shop Ive ever been in contact with. Anywhere.
I cant recommend these guys enough. If you have any question on where to go for auto services and are seeking someone professional, trustworthy, and fair, youve found the spot. Ive had an issue with my car for years, took it to various Pep Boys locations across the US, and the issue was never solved and I paid more than double for Pep Boys not to fix the issue than I did at S&R to not only fix the problem but also with a faster turnaround time and with high quality, American-made parts. I was recommended S&R by family and was assured theyd take good care of me so I drove my car out here from Texas and while on vacation, S&R got it done.
Great Service, honest & trustworthy. What a relief to have found a mechanic like Nico.
Great shop! As a first time customer I could tell immediately that Niko and his crew were honest mechanics.
Absolutely incredible! I wont take my car anywhere else. Nico is very professional and knowledgeable, he provides excellent service in a timely manner with fair pricing!
Trash service and trash owner. Typically I don’t do this… but terrible place to bring your vehicle.
Niko, the fairly new business owner of S & R, is hands-down the most honest and reliable mechanic Ive had the pleasure of working with.Niko is the best in the business; a young mechanical genius whose capable of repairing and rebuilding any vehicle. All of my vehicles are maintained by S & R as Niko works on all years/makes/models.He is awesome at engine/transmission re-builds and Ive witnesses him re-build some amazing classics. Niko always provides honest/fair advice at a reasonable price.
Wonderful service center with the kindest staff and mechanics. Would recommend them to everyone!
It was the rudest place n customer service was the worst I wait 2n a half hrs in a driver it was the worst experience I had my car stolen wrecked n then s&r tow wants to steal my car from me again
Its always a pleasurable experience when getting my car serviced. Niko has been working on our cars for years. Hes honest, dependable, and fair. All around quality service. I couldnt ask for anything more.
Niko provides professional service and practices least cost troubleshooting/repair options. He carefully explains the details of the issue with expert level knowledge. His level of communication is top notch! He was able to rectify an emissions issue that I was having in a much less expensive way compared to what the Honda dealership quoted me. I was so impressed that I took my wifes car there for emissions work as well. Both cars passed the smog test without issue. I highly recommend!
Honestly I dont know why I never gave a review until now. I have a 2013 Chevy silverado 1500 and my wife has a 2006 Chevy Malibu. Niko is probably the only mechanic I have ever been to that didnt try and upsell and tell me I need to replace more than what is actually needed. I completely trust him and basically whatever he suggests is what I go with. He has never tried to lie, coerce, or convince me into doing anything I didnt want done. Probably the only mechanic in california that really cares more about taking care of people rather than making money.
Was having some problems with my back door on my 2006 Acura TL. All the dealerships and a lot of places were charging me an arm and a leg to get just a simple piece replaced. I came in to S and R service Center and Nico took care of me right away. Super knowledgeable guy. Took the time to help me out with no one else would. Definitely bringing all my Hondas and Acuras here for life. Thank you guys so much!!!
Nico and his staff are straight arrow guys. Hard to find. Mechanic that you can trust. My timing belt and Valve adjustment was perfect.
Top notch service. I bring all of my vehicles exclusively here. I recommend this shop to all of my friends and colleagues as well. Everyone I’ve recommended has become a return customer as well. The owner is honest, diligent, and thorough. 5 stars for sure.
Its hard to find a reliable mechanic... Niko and his guys are awesome! You can easily just schedule maintenance or repair by giving them a call or even texting Niko. They do get busy, of course, but its for good reasons! If you want to get the job done correctly and efficiently, go here!
Absolutely fantastic establishment. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledge. Niko specifically is probably one of the best mechanics I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.Very knowledgeApproachableWell-Mannered and kindProfessionalAnd, unlike other auto shops, this establishment doesn’t even attempt to rip you off at all. They’ll work with you, despite how your budget is working. 5 out of 5. This really is the spot if you want to get the work done on your car without having to worry about them scamming you like other auto shops. If you live in the loca area, this is the place to go.
Excellent work, great communication with clients, and believes in providing exceptional service. Ive found my new regular car servicing place. I would go back for any auto concerns without question.
I recently took my car here to get my brake pads and rotors replaced and I couldnt be happier with the results. Niko is very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only is he outstanding at his job, he takes the time to explain what exactly it is hes doing. I will be going back soon to have more work done on my car.
Best service ever! HONEST, really truly honest. Very knowledgeable
Niko an His Crew Are The Number One Outstanding Mechanics You Can Come Across In The North County! Looking For An Honest Shop to Get Your Car Or Truck Problems Out Of The Way Really Look No Further S & R Service Is The Place For Youhh! !!
I was searching for an honest mechanic for a while as it’s hard to find trustworthy auto shops and I came across S&R. I have to say this is the best shop I’ve ever been to, Niko has to be one of the most knowledgeable and friendly mechanics in San Diego.He took care of me right from the beginning and never hid anything from me and kept me informed the entire time. I needed a new clutch for my Subaru WRX, and he helped me pick one out that fit my driving style. He told me it would take 2 days and I dropped my car off, and sure enough 2 days later he gave me a call and told me I could pick it up. He even showed me my old clutch and why it needed to be replaced, which most mechanics won’t do, and my car drove perfectly.I would reccomend this shop to anyone looking for reliable work on your car and I will be going here for every repair
Niko and his staff at S&R are the most honest and trustworthy mechanics Ive ever met. Your car will be in good hands with them.
Just had my altinator replaced by Niko and he did a great job and saved me hundreds $$$ from the dealer quote. He is very knowledgeable in his business and I highly recommend his work.
Called a few weeks ago asking about installing my roof racks. Was told they would have to see them. Brought them down this morning and the guy said lets see....showed him the racks then asked what kind they were and if I had the instructions! They were Honda racks bought from Honda. You should know how to install Honda racks if you say you work with Honda cars. They the guy said oh we have to take everything apart and it would be $300! Say what! What a bunch of frauds. Dont go this place. Went to Honda in Carlsbad and it cost $120 to install.
Good, honest service from Niko and the guys at S&R. They will really give you the best deal on your auto work.
Niko is the real deal — plain speaking and looking to develop long-term customers.
Niko B. The owner is the most honest and trustworthy mechanic you will ever meet.My brakes were squealing and screeching excessively while driving and stopping. I originally went to another shop in the same center. I made an appointment the day prior. When I showed up I was told that no one would be able to work on my car for at least an hour, and he was rude. I called into another shop that had 5 stars on yelp and they were not taking any buisness for the day because of Christmas Eve. The owner referred me to Niko.I’m super glad that he did. Niko not only inspected my brakes but his attention to detail helped entail the safety of my car. My brakes were about to fail and he even showed them to me afterwards. Niko is one of the rare, trustworthy mechanics that I trust with any automobile.
Nice guys, have serviced my cars for years now. Always been fair with me, would recommend!
Needed to get my clutch fixed, price was on par with most other shops. Richard was who I delt with. He was the owner and operator, didnt notice any other staff. Richard was very straightforward and polite. He told me he was going to need a full day to diagnose and mabey another to fix the problem.He was very informative and professional, by calling me several times to update me on his progress, and he also gave me over the phone quotes on other suggested services. I told him no, just finish the clutch job. That was the last he said about any extra work, no hustle.. a major plus to me. On the secont day Richard called and said Your all set, you can come and get your car when your ready. Work was excelent, couldnt be happier. Thanks Richard. Well done
I had what I thought was a very big problem and was prepared to spend a lot of money but he was honest and told me it was a cheep fix. A truly great mechanick
