I can’t say enough about SDS Automotive. My Malibu had brake problems that another shop misdiagnosed, but SDS got it right the first time. They fixed the issue, gave me a full printout of the work, called me with updates, and explained any adjustments I might need down the road — all clear and professional. What makes it even better is they’re right here in my neighborhood. I dropped my car off, rode my beach cruiser home, and came back later to a car running phenomenal. That kind of trust and convenience adds real value, especially as a homeowner. The shop has expanded, which means business is good. Everyone’s smiling and I see familiar faces every time — proof they’re doing honest work and taking care of the community. I’m truly grateful and highly recommend SDS Automotive.

Juan was very informative about the issue with my vehicle. Quick turn around and was VERY accommodating with a loaner vehicle while mine was in the shop. I could not recommend this place more, especially for women! Thank you Juan and Kyle. Much appreciated.

About a year ago I brought my work van to get serviced at Pepboys but that particular location was closing down and no longer staffed a master tech on site. The associate highly recommended SDS Automotive which was located not too far away. The SDS staff was welcoming and friendly. They promptly created an estimate and serviced my vehicle with no appointment despite plenty of customers and vehicles that were already on site. My work van ran amazing after the repairs. I then brought in my personal vehicle which I botched trying to fix myself. Not only did they fix what I broke, but they did a courtesy visual inspection and provided an estimate for the repairs. Upon getting ready to pay the bill for my botched DIY job, they showed me an invoice totaling "$0.00" I couldn't believe they did all that for me at no cost. I've communicated with SDS through email, text, phone, and in-person and they've always been responsive and maintained professionalism throughout all interaction. I must say my experience has been all positive with this team. They are a very honest and fair business which I feel is rare these days, especially in the vehicle service repair industry.

Got an oil change done here and they did an amazing job. They finished up pretty quick, which worked out perfectly since I was heading out to San Francisco right after. My babygirl (my car) ran like brand new afterwards! Definitely recommend this spot for fast and reliable service.

The customer service counter quickly prepared my work estimate, inspected my vehicle and repaired the problem very fast; I was completely satisfied. They did outstanding work. I will return again for more work if needed. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

It took me a while to shop around and read reviews for a dependable and reasonably priced shop. I’m glad I found it in SDS Automotive. Juan helped me and was professional and cordial. They told me exactly what the problem was within a couple of hours. They were fairly busy but were able to get my vehicle out by the end of the day despite the suspension damage they had to work on. This will be my go to shop from now on. I highly recommend SDS Automotive.

Very friendly, fast response and did the oil change in about an hour. Price was reasonable, and i got a coupon off their website and saved about $40-50. Also, did a vehicle inspection and thoroughly explained everything. Highly recommend!

I came for a smog and no appointment. Intake person was very nice. Took my information and told me it would be half an hour. As soon as it was ready he informed me my vehicle was all set. I will recommend this this place to my friends and relatives.

I’ve used SDS for over a decade. First for Smog certification and then for repair. In my experience, the team at SDS has been courteous and professional. I’ve received great service with confidence in the repair. Juan has been my point of contact throughout. I trust him to be fair and straightforward.

Easy Peezy. I service my car every six months and it’s so easy at SDS. I make an appointment, I come in and the service is done while I wait in a very nice lounge area with coffee. Oil change is less than an hour. I totally trust the technicians. Highly recommend this place.

So glad I found SDS.Automotive! I called and spoke to a very kind person at the front desk, who was able to help me. I figure out what my problems were with my car and asked me a lot of questions. I felt very confident in his ability to help me and for his team to fix my car. When I arrived, we went over the same questions and filled out some paperwork. It just took a couple of Minutes. After analyzing my car with diagnostics testing, they were able to tell me what the price would be and when I could pick my car up. They actually finished sooner than I thought and everything was working perfectly. It’s nice to have my car back to 100% again. I feel the price was fair. I don’t know what it would cost, but I haven’t had it worked on in 10 years since I got it so I was expecting this much or maybe more. They won’t clean your car for you like the dealer might but you’ll also pay double at the dealer. Very courteous and very kind the shop was neat and tidy I would definitely feel comfortable waiting in their very spacious waiting area if I needed to for hours. We’ll definitely do business here again.
