Absolute shock and surprise to say the least. Long story short I was told by another shop in town that will remain unnamed *cough* west escondido *cough* that my alternator died, they quoted me close to $550. My roommate suggested I check out Bens, so, reluctantly I did. Turns out my alternator belt slipped off! Turns out that was all that was wrong, I ended up replacing it and my serpentine belt, since both were old and they were so honest, for around $120, they even topped off my oil and fluids at not extra charge! While I was waiting for repairs, this guy from Texas came in with issues he thought was his Jeeps suspension. Complaints of bad sounds and vibrations while he was driving. Turns out the people who did his last tire change didn't tighten the lug-nuts! These guys are honest, there is a reason why so many people bring their cars here. Just got a customer for life from me. -D.Rose

Ben's Auto Repair is a good place to repair the cars of Vietnamese. In this place, you can speak Vietnamese anything about your car with the owner of Ben's Auto Repair. And after that, he will help you check and fix your car perfectly at an affordable price. On Monday, I drove my car to Ben's Auto Repair to change the brakes, the oil, the air filter, etc. Ben has done it very well. And now, I am very satisfied with my car.

Ended up coming here with a Jeep that had two bad catalytic converters on it. Believe I met with the owner and he was very straight up and honest about the prices and what he would recommend doing. Very nice guy & would trust him with my car again

I have been going to these guys for years I can’t say enough good stuff about them . Honest and trustworthy. I brought my car in for a gas pump replacement and the tall guy that worked on it saw that I had a side mirror in backseat and he put it on my car . I didn’t even mention it to him but he went ahead and did it anyway. That’s just one of the examples of how great this place is .

One more great visit to Ben’s auto repair, Andy and this great guy going by the “Tiger” it’s just amazing work and professionalism. They go straight to the point!! Cost is competitive to other places tho big difference is at Ben’s auto repair it’s more personal. This is my third time coming from Las Vegas going to Mexico this is my pit stop for anything from a flat tire to engine problems. Great job Ben’s team!!!

I use these guys for all my work trucks, they are awesome, always fair, and easy to work with! Very thankful that I was recommended to them by my grandmother, and will always refer them as well.

Honest, reliable, and fair priced. I had my break job done here in Dec2019 and they did a really good job at it. I checked the work that was done on the car after the breaks was repaired and they did as I asked. The break was responsive after they flushed it. I had the break fluid flushed and all the breaks changed out but the panel on the driver side before the master cylinder was not put back, which was ok, I could fix it. Minus one star for that and the hood bar was not placed back to the holder, causing a lot of rattling when driving. Would definitely recommend coming here to get your car fixed.

I've been coming to Ben and Andy since 1995. Wow 25 years!!! I've moved with them in all 3 locations they've been. Ben is like the Car Whisperer. He can diagnose pretty quick. I've never felt ripped off or like he was too aggressive with repairs. I'm not super thrilled with the location of their shop but I like and trust them so much that I'm willing to drive into that yucky lot.

Honest and cost efficient. Brought my cars here for years before moving to Sacramento. Recently was on a visit in San Diego and started having unexpected car issues. On short notice, I brought my vehicle in. They diagnosed, fixed and had me back on the road quickly. My drive from San Diego back home to Sacramento was smooth after new tires and wheel alignment. Andy, Ben and crew are amazing.

Been going here for as long as I've lived in San Diego. My family has always been treated well and given fair pricing on our car service and maintenance. They're very straightforward about what your car has for options, don't be afraid to ask what they recommend. If you're looking for fast service, try to come earlier in the day. As soon as they're open ideally because certain weekdays are packed for them lately.

One of the best shops in San Diego County. Highly recommend if you are looking for one of the last honest places to take your ride. They have highly skilled mechanics and great owners who know what is important. I have been taking multiple cars here for over 6 years and have always been impressed with their stand up service and very reasonable pricing.

Ben's Auto is the BEST. Ben and Andy run it. They're honest, experienced, reliable, very fairly priced and HONEST. All the mechanics do a great job. I've been going to them for 6 years, and I always meet people in there who've been coming there for 10 years or more, and some who bring their fleet cars there. Also, they respond quickly, and they're very professional and friendly. They're the best auto shop I've ever used. Bring your car to Ben's Auto. You won't be sorry.

I have moved in this area since the 2003 as Ben and Andy have been my go to guys for all my vehicles I have bought and still do as of today in Sept 2025. There I was taking my kids to Kumon and parent recommended Ben’s Auto Repair on mission. My adult boys now in their 20’s know where to take there vehicles👌 from learning from their parents. The team Ben has are ASE certified packed with knowledge. The same service that we take to the dealer can be performed by Ben’s Auto Repair as he uses OEM fluids that are recommend by the manufacture of your vehicle.🚗🚙🚕🚘🚖🏁
