San Diego Auto Repair

Been going here since my girlfriend (now wife) turned me onto them 12 years ago. We take ALL of our vehicles there for brake and alignment service, as well as other services.I have always felt that they were upfront an honest - even though they could charge for things that did not necessarily need to be done, and I wouldn't have known the difference. On several occasions they had recommended some type of service - but told me that I could probably postpone that service for a period of time in order to save money.The last time I took my LandRover in, they said it needed a new Brake Master Cylinder ($700). I was bummed - and told them to do it. Danny called a couple of hours later and told me that they had taken the old Master Cylinder apart, cleaned it thoroughly, and gotten it to work perfectly - thus saving me almost $700.That, to me, is going above and beyond what is expected for the customer.If they can't do something, they are quick to refer you to someone who is an expert in that particular service.

I brought my 2004 325i for an alignment after putting on new tires. It was easy to get an appointment, everyone was super friendly, and I walked around the thrift store next door while I waited. The price was very fair. This is the 2nd time I've taken a car there & I'll go back.

Ive been to BeeLine twice now and I am sure it is the only place I will go from now on for my automotive needs that are more involved than an oil change! Ihave a 2007 Saab and I took it in becuase my brakes were squeaking and I knew I needed my alignment adjusted.. Being a female and not being particularly car saavy I am nervous when I need automotive repair- I have seen so many people over pay for services not needed. I called on a Monday afternoon and had an appointment for first thing Tuesday AM. When I checked in I waited less than 2 minutes to be helped; I let them know I thought I needed new pads and an alignment but I was sure my rotors should not need replacement.. I left and a couple of hours later got a call saying they had completed the alignment and I had a solid 10,000 miles left on my pads and not to replace them until after that! I was SHOCKED! I could easily have been told to and I would have just replaced the pads- that is a very high level of professionalism and integrity for them to not oversell me! These guys are great!! I will reccommend this shop to everyone I know! Thanks Bee Line!

The guys at Beeline are the greatest. I had an issue with my Volvo this week and they stepped up to the plate and had it fixed for me and even went above and beyond to make sure I was happy as a customer. I've worked with all the guys there and they are all great but this time I worked with Danny and he was excellent. I cannot recommend this place enough to everyone. They are honest, courteous and nice guys and they are not out to overcharge but rather do a good job for their customers. I recommend this place to all my friends so if you are looking for a new place, check out beeline, you will not regret it.

I have been into tuning cars since Highschool. I have taken lowered cars, trucks, and sedans to get aligned many times for family members. Most of all the other places i have gone to have recommended additional work or the car never drives safe. One shop in East San Diego did my alignnment and my brand new tires wore out within a year. I bought new tires from costco and came to these guys after searching the internet. These guys snuffed out the issue. All the readings were off to one side (indicating) that the Computerized alignment i recieved from the other shop was probalby not calibrating it right. Thing is, i didn't tell them that my previous set of tires had worned down so fast. The new set is still running strong today and I will continue to bring my cars and refer people here. Thanks BEE LINE! This is probably the most competitive price you will get in town! Honest guys.

I made an appointment and brought in my car to have the brake pads checked and possibly replaced. We waited about only 7-10 minutes before our car was looked at. The technician drove the car briefly and brought it back in to have it lifted for checking the brakes. After about 15 minutes, the front desk personnel (the owner's son, I believe) explained that my pads still had sufficient wear left, and didn't need to be replaced. They also rotated my tires, since they had the wheels taken off already. Great experience, and I'll most likely be a repeat customer when the pads need to be changed. The location is difficult to get to, so be sure to loot at Google Maps before making the trip.

Great service here, got my car aligned in no time. I had a bad wheel pull so after getting some new wheels the guys realigned it again. I can drive straight now. Thanks Beeline!

I have a '01 Toyota Solara Camry 4cyl. For the last 6 months, my car has been drifting to the left while driving on the freeway. Me being a girl, I thought maybe it was just the road causing my car to drift to the left. It was not until my husband was driving my car did he notice it was an alignment issue.I can get lazy about car maintenance. My car has not gotten an alignment for 73,000 miles. However, it recently got new shocks and new tires. After my husband told me my car had an alignment issue, I finally decided it was time to invest $60 for my car to drive straight.But who do I go to? I'm actually a frequent customer of Mira Mesa Auto Techs, who does much of the major work on my car for a decent price. But they don't do alignments. I also have a roommate who does autocrossing and said he goes to Lutz Tires in Grant Hill. I did not want to drive that far for an alignment (I live in Mira Mesa). Also, the last place I got an alignment years ago went out of business...most likely because they were not all that good.So here I went onto Yelp to research alignment shops. I thought I would go to Dualtone, but some of the 1 star reviews scared me. But after reading numerous reviews on Beeline, I thought it would be a decent decision to take my car here (The only 1 star reviews was on the customer service aspect...I think I could handle a bad customer service experience).I came here about 1 PM on a Wednesday. It was a pretty old school auto shop I had to admit. And it felt somewhat cold going there and being a female. But hey! If they can fix my car wandering to the left, why would that matter?I also noticed they did not have the usual full-on car rack that most shops do alignments with. But I still decided to take the risk in trying this place out.The customer service guy (forgot his name) was very polite to me and asked me about my car problem. Told him it drifts slightly to the left consistently on the freeway. He told me that while I was waiting I should go next door to check out the estate sale (there was really nothing else nearby).I went to the estate sale for maybe 30-45 minutes and came back. It was quite interesting watching them work on my alignment from the distance not that I know much about cars. They first drove my car in and worked on the rear part of the alignment. Then they had to drive my car out to the front and drive my car back in to do the front alignment. It also turns out that they do old school mechanical alignments versus the modern computerized alignments most places have now a days. However, I can only imagine a tech making adjustments based on non-calibrated laser equipment. My roommate also told me that mechanical alignments, if the tech is experienced and good, can be just as accurate if not better than computerized laser alignments.Considering that this place has been here literally forever, they must be good right?Well after about 1.5 to 2 hours of waiting, they were done with my alignment. The customer rep told me the tech found that my front toes were both outward, and rear toes were both inward. This was most likely the source of my poor gas mileage.I also asked their quoted price for a timing belt to get done on my car. To my disbelief, their price for a timing belt (and a water pump replacement) was lower than the price I got quoted from the other auto shop I usually go to....HRMMM (even though they charge somewhat more for labor).I don't plan on getting my timing belt and water pump replaced until 3 months from now. But knowing that they can do it for less than the other shop I usually go to seriously has me thinking about taking my car here for them to do it. This is definitely a motivation to see if I can convince the manager of Mira Mesa Auto Techs to match their price and get my water pump replaced at the same time. If not, this place is getting my business in 3 months.After paying them my $60, my alignment issue has definitely been solved. My car now goes straight instead of left.All I can say is that I would definitely recommend this place for an alignment job. Not sure about other car issues since I am still thinking about my timing belt replacement. I just hope Beeline is here to stay so they can do their top-notch alignment jobs on my car in the many years to come.Also, just a warning. They are located off Garnet, which is a busy street. So be careful if you are going there for the first time.

Can't say enough good about these guys. I took my Jeep Wrangler in several months back to have the breaks replaced which they did at a reasonable price compared to what the dealership wanted to charge me. I then had a starter issue about a month ago. They replaced it and when I still had issues had me bring it back in to test the relay. If it had been the relay they told me they were going to refund my money and put my old starter back in and charge me only for the relay, which really impressed me. I am pretty much the stereotypical woman who knows almost nothing about what goes on under the hood. :) The fact that they take time to explain things to me is an added bonus. Long story short, the problem did turn out to be a starter and connection problem; it is now fixed. They never charged me a penny after bringing it in the first time and even replaced a tail-light I was having trouble with for no extra cost! They also had a very nice man (I'm sorry I can't remember his name) take me to work twice when I dropped my car off for repair. They are a family-owned business that's been in SD for over 30 years so needless to say I trust them and that's important when you're a woman with car trouble.

Beeline is great! A family-owned business (currently owned by the son of the original, and his two sons work there), they have a guarantee that the person who works on your car will have at least five years experience. They clearly know their stuff. While the work ended up being 10 times the original quoted price, this was because of problems with my car (which has 128k miles on it). My tires had worn out prematurely with a lot of exposed metal on the inside - a sign of bad camber. The last time I bought tires, I went to another shop where they told me that this was a known problem with Siennas, and it couldn't be fixed. Well, it *can* be fixed. The Beeline people told me that the camber was right at the outer limit of the specifications for the car, but that they could fix it for about $200. Then when they got into it, I had a bad wheel bearing on the left side (another $200 - this is a front-wheel drive car and the bearings alone are $100, and have to be pressed into the wheel). Anyway, for the FIRST TIME since I have owned the car, it no longer vibrates between 70 and 75 mph! I am really happy about this!!!
