They are amazing! I've been going to Ron's since I moved here over 3 years ago because they came highly recommended. They are honest, incredibly fair, and kind people. I just moved further away but make the 45 minute drive because of how much trust I have for their work.

Ron's Auto Clinic is exactly the type of mechanic shop that I have been looking for all my life! Seriously, the days of honest mechanics who take pride in their work and care more about the customers instead of a profit are long gone....so I thought, until I met Ron and his amazing staff. He was honest about my situation, explaining to me the common defects in the car I drive, and the recommendations on how to best correct the issues. It will be a sad day when I move away from San Diego because finding a new mechanic wherever I end up will be extremely difficult considering the big shoes they will have to fill.

I used to go to Express Tires to get my oil changed and every time I did, they would come back with a whole list of things my car needed. I have a friend at work who referred me to Ron's and I took it in for an evaluation. Ron did such a great job of explaining what my car needed, what could wait until I could afford to have done and called me with an estimate on the brakes. I did have my front brake pads replaced, rotors turned, and he adjusted and cleaned the back brakes and hand brake too. The cost was so reasonable I couldn't even believe how great I'm feeling with the work he performed on my car. The other projects are a bit costly, so I have time to save aside and have them done in about 3 months. I would recommend Ron's Auto Clinic to any and everyone who likes an honest place to take their vehicle. Thank you Ron, Danny and team for such a great job.

I’ve been going to Ron’s for about five years and highly recommend. They are honest, fairly priced, accurate with time estimates, and extremely courteous. I absolutely trust them and go out of my way to bring my car there since I no longer live in the neighborhood.

My husband and I found Ron's Auto Clinic after hearing recommendations from our neighbors. My teen daughter had been given her grandmother's old car and it had a lot of problems. Ron was very open and honest about what was worth fixing and when it was time to cut our losses and get a newer car for her. We now bring all of our family cars to Ron, even just for basic oil changes. The place is not fancy, but more than makes up for it in service. Everyone who works there is polite and absolutely professional in everything they do. They even call two weeks later to make sure everything is still good with your car, even after something so simple as an oil change! If I could give more stars than 5 I would.

Ron and Danny are the best. They have great customer service, truly explain everything, and never make me feel like they're pulling something on me. We've been going to them for years and our cars run great (13 year old and 6 year old cars).

Honestly just knowing this place exists for me to go to for car stuff brings me genuine mental peace. Ron and the guys are extremely on point and efficient, they are very honest, genuine and down-to-earth. I had a weird noise that kept coming up, and Ron and I went for a drive on the spot to square it away - never seen this kind of service anywhere before. Having interacted with them previously it was made known that I personally am very receptive to as much information/knowledge as possible, and Ron happily explained to me everything, that too very intuitively. Cant say enough great things about place - my go to spot for repairs in the San Diego area. Its not a swanky/flashy location, but they get the right job done quickly, honestly, and at really fair prices + they take care of their customers - I genuinely couldn't care for any more than that.

A friend recommended Ron's to me and Ive had several good experiences bringing my cars to them, 1st with my 2001 Toyota Rav 4 and now with my 2013 Highlander. I generally bring my car to the dealer for scheduled maintenance and then the dealer lets me know what issues my car is having or may have. I bring my car to Ron's for those services (brake replacement, fuel line cleaning etc.) and that saves me quite a bit! I feel Ron's Auto Clinic prices are fair and they make the process of car repair pleasant. Plus, I recently messed up my bumper a little but and it was flapping around a little and they fixed that without me even asking about it at my most recent visit. That was super nice!

I have been going to Ron's Auto Clinic for a few years now. They are friendly people to speak with. Ron is great about informing you of issues to be worked on and he will tell you what is critical vs can wait. This is why I am happy to have them work on my vehicle. UPDATE: I have a new car and Ron's is where I will continue to take it for maintenance and repair. They are still aces in my book.

Another great experience. Had a lot of work needed, and they finished ahead of schedule. They didn't try to sell me on work that wasn't required, and actually didn't replace something they originally quoted since they realized if didn't need to be replaced. Kudos to Ron, JJ and the team, once again.

I remember my first time going to Ron's... my truck was only starting intermittently and I had no idea why. He popped the hood and basically called me back to say "Your battery terminals just came loose. Come pick up your truck." Haha! I knew right then I found an honest place. I've gone to Ron's for a good few years now. Thankfully I haven't needed him much! But in the few times I've had him service my vehicle, it's been a great experience. Ron is very direct, but I appreciate that about him. He isn't afraid to say "This is what I would do if it were my car", but in the same breath hold you accountable for making a decision. He doesn't have a crystal ball, so all he can do is give his best recommendation and then prioritizes with you if you can't afford all repairs. He is huge on your safety though, and some things he is not willing to make an exception on. I can respect that. Speaking of affordability, Ron's prices are incredibly reasonable. He quoted me about $500 for a pretty big brake job. Just to do due diligence, I called around and even shopped the parts alone, there was no way I could have gotten another professional mechanic to beat his estimate. Every time I have gotten work done here, I walk away feeling good. Both about the money invested in my vehicle as well as the quality of work received. Finding a good mechanic is like finding a good dentist... when you find one you like, you don't go anywhere else! PS. His staff is awesome as well. They are super efficient and very communicative!

Ron and his crew are fantastic. I've been bringing my car here for the last few years and they are, by far, the most honest, knowledgeable, and skilled shops I've ever been to. I always encourage my friends and family to pay them a visit for their automotive needs and so should you!!

I would highly recommend Ron's Auto Clinic for their honest and reliable service as well as affordability. I've been bringing my car to Ron's for over 3 years and I always trust their assessment and know that the work has been done correctly and at a fair price. In the past, I have definitely experienced the pain of taking my car to a shop that either felt they could take advantage of me or didn't resolve my car repairs the right way. I am always assured that the mechanics at Ron's are truly taking care of my car with my safety in mind. I really appreciate that.

I'm a women and I don't trust mechanic shops well you can guess why. But rons shop was so helpful and informative. I went in to check on my a.c and front rotors. Ron discovered some concerns with my car and I was able to get them fixed and now my car runs like new. Quotes are great and fair price I got my car back within a day and a half. They were so nice and made me feel heard. I would and will recommend rons shop to all my friends.

So glad I found this place for my daughter’s car. I’ve tried other places and this is my favorite. Great communication with JJ answering phone and Ron answering email. They explain everything and only do what’s needed.

Ron is amazing! He makes you feel like you have a trusted mechanic in the family. I was a loyal patron of his services when I used to live in San Diego and when I had car trouble on a recent trip over he was obviously the first one I thought of. I was over for my Grandma's funeral and on the last day my clutch was completely obliterated rendering me unable to drive back to Phoenix. Ron was able to give my car some priority given the situation and got it done in 2 days! Amazing! Ron is always honest and does his best to give you an appraisal that will both save you money but also give you a great reliable outcome for your vehicle. Only negative is that I can't clone him and bring him to Phoenix.

Ron and his crew have been the absolute best for our multiple cars for well over a decade now! From new to high mileage, and city to commuter cars, we have a place go to for all the service Ron’s clinic offers- regular oil changes to engine repairs! I continue to return especially because trust is hard to find in auto care, returning regardless of moving out of the neighborhood. The service is high quality and thorough, the communication is transparent, prices are very fair, all staff is kind, and it’s supporting small business. This place is a very rare gem to find. We are grateful for Ron’s Auto Clinic!

Ron and his staff have repaired 3 different cars for me over the years. Every staff person is kind, friendly, and sincerely eager to help. Specifically, Ron was great at answering my questions and explaining my options. I strongly recommend Ron’s Auto Clinic if you want QUALITY SERVICE from knowledgeable mechanics and administrative staff who are honest, hard working and focused on getting your car repaired as soon as possible.

Extremely fair prices, great service, easy after hours drop off. I can't say enough good things about this place. Ive had my truck serviced here a few times, most recently just an oil change. When I picked it up, I noticed they didnt give me a "next service" sticker on the window. No problem, I usually take it off, I don't put too many miles on my truck and just change the oil annually. Well, the next week I found it in my mailbox with a friendly note. No other auto shop in the city would go to that length, most probably wouldn't even have noticed they forgot. Ron's is the best.
