Del Mar Automotive in Del Mar

I've used several automotive repair shops here in San Diego, but I've settled on Del Mar Automotive, going forward. They work quickly, provide updates on their progress, complete the work in the time promised and are very experienced. Most importantly, I trust them and they provide sound advice.

Todd is professional and handles transactions with an expedited and friendly manner. Thanks for such a positive, pleasant experience!

Cool shop. Great friendly service. Went in for an alignment as my car had a slight pull to the right. My car now drives absolutely straight was also finished ahead of time. Been at this shop in the past. It's hard to go wrong with Del Mar Automotive.

Del Mar Automotive is the most reliable, friendly, honest, and helpful place to bring your car or SUV for top notch service. Todd, Chris, Josh, and Rob are all great guys who do an excellent job fixing the cars/SUVs and helping with all of your automotive questions. They are all very knowledgeable about various makes and models of cars so they can assist in almost all of your car care needs. Plus, they all have a great sense of humor and are fun to chat with when I come to visit. I have been coming here for almost 30 years now since I was 16 years old and I cannot believe I will be 46 this year! ;-) I have brought my Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota 4Runner, Mercedes ML320 SUV, and Mercedes E-class they helped with for all 235,000+ miles. I would not take my cars anywhere else for car service, unless Todd, Chris, Josh, or Rob cannot help me.

Best in town! Been bringing all my vehicles here for years and won't go anywhere else for top notch and trustworthy mechanics and service. Thanks DMA!!!

Excellent Service My brakes were in need of replacement. My mechanic Dave had moved to this shop and although it’s a bit more of a drive I followed. What a pleasant surprise from the last place. I got an appointment within 2 days first thing in the morning. The repairs were gone quickly and I was on my way home within less than two hours. Dave is the best! Todd is welcoming and pleasant. I never felt rushed or that I was just another customer. If you need to wait as I did. There is a picnic table in the back by the river. The view is beautiful and perfect as my office for a little while. My car is perfect and the price was very reasonable. Give them a try I think you will be very happy you did!

My car broke down on the freeway and I needed a mechanic to tow it to. That is how I found Del Mar Automotive Service Center, they were able to get my car running within two days. They recommended a list of repairs but I explained this car was purposefully running until it died and they understood. I have had trouble arguing with mechanics in the past about what services I would like to perform or not. No problem here, these guys listened and understood my reasoning. Shortly thereafter I bought a newer used car, and took it to DMASC for maintenance. Again they were great, took care of everything quickly, and checked in with me before doing extra services. Price was reasonable especially considering how fast they are. The people there are friendly and respectful, and communicate clearly about timing and any details related to the service. Definitely my new regular mechanic!

These guys are the best. They are honest about what your car actually needs and don’t try to sell you something it doesn’t need. They are prompt and professional. I work on my own motorcycles, but I trust my car to Del Mar auto.
