Honest auto repair, done right the first time.

“I'm so glad I was recommended this place. John was able to fix a problem with my truck that nobody else could figure out. I won't take my vehicles anywhere else.”

“Ive been looking for a mechanic I can trust ever since I moved from LA 7 years ago, I was involved with cars for a while as a inventory manager for car dealerships while living there and I was shocked how hard it is to find someone that is transparent here in SD. I found John by accident and I stopped by to chat with him and I instantly knew I could trust that man with my truck. He gave me a day to stop by so he could inspect and 40 minutes later he already had the issues showed to me and a few minutes after that he had two separate estimates for me and he is fixing the truck as I write this review at 11am and I’ll be picking it up around 3pm. I didn’t even got the car yet and I know it will be alright! So don’t waste your time if you need a mechanic. Your money and vehicle is better off in his hands.”

“I brought my 2012 kia to Genesee Auto Care to fix 2 cylinders that were misfiring. He listened to the engine and asked detailed questions. He diagnosed and gave me a truthfull and fair estimate for the parts and labour for a master mechanic. The time of service and parts were exactly correct. The car is now running great, my gas mileage improved markedly. The entire process was very professional, quick and exactly the fixes needed with no added charges. I am very happy my car purrs again and feels like new. Give highest recommendation of the master mechanic John and his repair facility.”

“I've been working with John for almost 10yrs now and I'm writing this review as a reminder of how lucky I am to have found him. Everyone knows how hard it is to find a trustworthy mechanic and I can tell u first hand John will always put ur safety and ur wallet first. He's super knowledgeable and will always give u honest advice on the most cost effective way to address whatever car issues u got. Look no further, he's the best.”

“I came in with a serious brake issue, found out that my caliper was missing bolts and it could’ve ended in disaster if I kept driving. Without hesitation, John took the time to diagnose the problem, explain it clearly, and then fixed it on the spot. It’s rare to find someone who’s not only experienced but also genuinely kind and honest, who clearly cares about keeping people safe. If you’re looking for a trustworthy mechanic in San Diego, John is your guy. I’ll definitely be coming back here for all my car needs. Thank you again, John! You truly saved me today ❤️‍🩹”

“I bought my first car in 2019 and had no idea what basic maintenance was required. I came here for my first oil change and John was so kind that while I waited for my car to be done, he walked me through the different maintenance I would have to keep an eye out for. For 2 years, I only brought my car here, then I met my partner (who happens to be a mechanic and now services my car). John is very fair and transparent with his prices and when I was having an evap error (constant check engine light due to something wrong with my gas tank), he walked me through the different repair options and let me decide if I wanted to try the cheaper options first before doing the more expensive diagnosis and repair. I really recommend Genessee Auto Care for an honest, trustworthy, and thorough mechanic.”
