Coastal Motors Auto Care is a San Diego Auto Repair Shop that treats every car like the one in its driveway. We built this shop on a simple idea: explain the problem in plain language, charge a fair price, and stand behind the work.

Our customers are Local car owners aged 25-65 looking for a trustworthy mechanic with honest pricing. People who don’t want a sales pitch, just an honest answer and a vehicle that runs the way it should. Whether it’s a routine oil change or a stubborn diagnostic that three other shops couldn’t figure out, we take it on the same way.

  • REPORT #4471
    I had been to two other shops who couldn't figure out a vibration in my truck. They diagnosed it in twenty minutes, fixed it the same day, and charged less than the dealer's estimate. I won't go anywhere else.

    Honest, fast, and they actually explain what they're doing instead of throwing jargon at you. Sent my parents here and they had the same experience. That's rare.

    Brought my old wagon in expecting a long list of expensive problems. They told me it was fine, did the basic service, and sent me on my way. That kind of integrity gets you a customer for life.

    Quick service, fair pricing, and they explained everything in plain language. Came in for an oil change, left with a clear inspection report and zero pressure to add anything. Will return for sure.
