I have been coming to Diko since 1996. He is my father's mechanic, my whole family uses his services. Diko is honest , personable and he's family for us all. He will always do what's right for you and tries to keep cost down. He has serviced My Jaguar, My land rover, My Lexus and my Saturn SUV for my Daughter. Nothing he cant work on! And if he feels it cant be done he will tell you take it to the dealer he wont just try for the money$$. He's GREAT!!!!!!!

If you want a mechanic who is highly skilled at fixing your car issues AND is super honest with pricing AND is an overall kind and happy human who genuinely likes his job and his customers, Diko is your guy!! I needed my brake fluid changed so I called on a Thursday, made an appointment to drop it off the next day and it was ready to be picked up in 2 hours. I love supporting business owners like Diko, people who seem to inherently understand that success and prosperity is often built on cultivating a trusting relationship with their customers. He wisely said “I learned early on to make the customers smile. It builds trust.” 5 stars. Will recommend to everyone :)

Diko is the best mechanic I’ve found in San Diego. He is honest, transparent, and will take his time to check and inspect exactly what you think could be wrong with your vehicle.

Diko is the best! If you’re looking at a mechanic that you can trust to take care of your vehicle. Diko is the man. I’ve been coming here for over a decade, never been disappointed. I highly recommend this business!

My Wife and I live in Rainer WA, We have a 1987 VW Vanagon that we had purchased , spent a lot of money bringing it up to snuff and took our Maiden Voyage to San Diego CA. Learned a lot about VWs on that trip LOL. Anyway we meet up with our son and no sooner had gotten there and the radiator blew two hoses ,on a Saturday. the Tow truck driver ( awesome) recommended Diko, he was only two miles away . We left it there and he hopped right on it first thing Monday AM and had us on the road by that afternoon. Very reasonable labor cost and super friendly and Nice guy , A real asset to the community. I would highly recommend him to anyone for any auto issue. He is honest and his work held up. We would give him 6 stars but they only go to 5. Thanks Niko for everything you were a life saver :) Steve and Carmen Crawford, and a shout out to the tow truck drive that recommended you as well :)

DIKO is more than professional, caring and understands his clients and the importanceof getting the cars ready right and as soon as possible... always honest on how long, how much and if it just can't be done. The most important is that he respects his trade and his reputation.... it shows. Cleary his days are full so call in advance for an appointment. Diko I can't thank you enough....and thank you for all the tips you share to keep my cars in good shape.

Diko is the real deal. Great mechanic that solved a steering column lock problem that had been plaguing my 2004 Range Rover for YEARS! I live in LA but my truck wouldn’t start on me while in San Diego, so I looked up who might be able to help and I found Diko. He waited on a Saturday while my truck was towed to his shop. Diagnosed the problem because he had seen it before and had fixed a similar issue before. Even the Range Rover dealer couldn’t fix the problem before. He found a great used part for a thousand less than new, and installed it for a reasonable price. He’s the owner of the business and works on everything himself. So you know it’s being done right. Thank you Diko! Amazing!

Great service from the bottom of the ❤️

He is a really good guy! Called on a Saturday and was able to bring it in and he stopped what he was doing and took the time to look at it on the spot. If I was from the area I wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

Very kind and helpful

My car broke down-completely shut off while driving-very scary, my car got towed here and at first I was told I would have to replace the alternator by the towing company-next morning I get a call from Diko saying it was just a wire, not the whole alternator, and he stayed later the night before to fix it (which I did not request) to get it done. Hands down the most honest mechanic I’ve met besides my family and friends. Highly recommend. Thanks Diko!

This is my 2nd time coming here and again had a great experience with Diko. He is such a thoughtful man very accommodating. He is the most helpful and kind mechanic I ever known. He always offers honest advice regarding my car needs. His assistant is genuinely nice and friendly. I highly recommend this professional Auro repair . I will definitely use again in the future. Thank you so much for fixing my car!!!.👃👃👃😀😄😬👍👍👍

The best of the best, have not seen an honest person like him , know I wonder why have been doing it for 40 years

Amazing place! Diko and his team gets the job done!! Once I found out about his shop, I never went anywhere else. I will be a long time customer.

Feb 07, 2019

Diko is awesome! My brakes went out in my truck, luckily I was doing some work there. I left my truck with him and he had it fixed the next day at a reasonable price. He also checked the fuel line because the brake and fuel line are right next to each other. He went above and beyond by putting some rubber tubing on the brake line to make sure it has an extra layer of protection! Plus he is amazingly kind! Stand up guy. Definitely recommend him!

I have been a loyal customer since 2007 and there is no one better out there! Diko is an exceptional mechanic, but more importantly he is honest, has integrity and truly cares about his customers. He regularly services our Honda Oddessey and Hyundai Sonata and keeps them running flawlessly. After the fire we weren't sure if he would re-open but he did! His new location is behind the Sports Arena on Hicock St.
