Honest service, nice people. I brought my 2010 Toyota Prius for Tire Pressure Sensor, Oil change, and torn Stabilizer Link. Tire Pressure was just more air needed so they didn't charge me for it. Oil change and Stabilizer replacement were fine too. When I mentioned the car makes noise in certain situations, they were eager to assess what the issue is and help me any way possible. It is my third visit here and every time, I am greeted and given fair expectations on the issue along with reasonable time window for the services required.

Kwon's has serviced our Subaru and Ford for several years. They are diligent, thorough, and transparent. Going above and beyond is their norm.

I found Kwon's Auto while looking for a shop to get my brakes done. They worked on it and got it on the same day. Amazing job. Reasonable price too. Thank you!

Great service, super helpful. Fast, reasonably priced, and no frills. This is what an auto repair shop should be.

Just had a great experience with Kwons! Janice was super helpful and listened to all my thought on trouble shooting what was going on with my son’s car! Janice Even went above and beyond with my warranty and suggesting another repair that was needed and that would he under the same warranty deductible! Overall great experience. The only feedback would be that it did take a little while because of the limited about of racks they have to work on cars. I would definitely go back though! Thank you!

Last year i bought a somewhat vintage car without doing proper research, and was struggling on taking care of it. A family friend told me about Kwons and I am so glad they did. They did a wonderful job on the vehicle and best of all they were always honest, telling me what needed to be done and even ways to work around the problems before they got the ok from me to fix it. I eventually sold it, in which they were able to smog it and make sure it was good to go. Great mechanics and great staff!

hmm. This is a slightly different opinion from other people's reviews. I visited due to a breakdown related to my car's cruise control. The staff were friendly, but I didn't feel professional. Above all, I was surprised that it cost over $600 just for inspection and battery replacement. In the end, the problem with my car was that I needed to replace the camera, and they asked for $1,700, but I ended up replacing the camera somewhere else and spent $600. I was a visitor, not a resident, and was very disappointed to be asked for a large amount of money, which was contrary to what I expected from a place where Koreans could speak Korean. I don't know about those who live there, but as a Korean, I do not recommend leaving it to Koreans who come to San Diego for a short period of time with high expectations.

Friendly staff. Location allows walk-ins and honors appointments. I had my alignment completed and it resolved my issue.

Fantastic face to get your car worked on. People are very knowledgeable and explain things very well. Would go back again anytime.

Best repair shop I have ever been to! The people who run this place are very helpful and will work with you whatever state your car is in. I appreciate them finding a simple solution and not overcharging me for anything!!

This has been my go to car shop for years. They are honest and reliable every time. Thank you Janice!

Grateful for this place. They are transparent with pricing, do great work, and communicate very well to ensure you know what’s going on. I appreciated all the updates and am thankful I had my car in their care. Highly recommend!!

Ive been coming to this place for 4-5 years now. They tell you only the truth about your car, and never try to overcharge when there are tons of auto repair shops tryna rip off of you. I truly appreciate it and highly recommend this place.

My appointment was for 8am the day before Thanksgiving. I got there early, while they were setting up their signs and opening up the bay. Another person arrives after and was served before me. The elder woman there told me he was a 'backup appointment'? Then told me I had to wait... there was only 1 mechanic. They seemed like nice people, but the service made me feel treated unfairly and no one likes that.

Excellent service! Janice was great to deal with!

I arrived at Kwon's Auto Repair unexpectedly because my go-to repair shop was closed. I made the mistake of purchasing a car prior to a car inspection (don't make this mistake). After noticing a few things with the car, I decided to bring it in for an inspection and was blown away by their attention to detail and customer service. While I was there, they noticed that my alternator needed to be fixed and they were able to get the job completed right away. Prior to leaving they gave me a report of the current issues with my car so that I can prioritize my repairs and not have any unexpected surprises in the future. Super thankful that I had gone there and I will be going there from now on!

I have visited Kwon's a number of times and I am always very pleased with the service I receive. My last visit was for a smog check which was done quick and efficiently. While there, a vehicle inspection was also done and it was identified that I needed brakes as well. I new I needed brakes but I didn't realize that they were a 5% of wear remaining. When I spoke with Janice, she was informing me and not necessarily recommending that I needed to get them done immediately. However, I did asked them to proceed if they could have the truck complete by 4pm. Kwon's had it completed at the promised time and for a very fair price for labor and OEM parts. I will continue to bring my vehicle there for service and recommend them to anybody looking for a quality repair at a fair price.

I was visiting from LA when my my engine started making some weird screeching noises. Kwon’s were able to accommodate me at short notice and their manager, Janice, was highly communicative throughout the process both in-person and by text. Aside from relying on diagnostics, the technical team carried out their own test to locate the issue and gave me an estimate straight away. It took a few days to get the parts and complete the repair, but totally understandable given the issue. I am moving to SD soon and Kwon’s will be my go to place for auto repairs for sure!

Place is a joke,over price on just about everything. Might as well spend the $35 less at the dealership to have your car serviced

Feb 07, 2023

Very nice!

Good

Had my car smog check done. Wait time was reasonable and there's few seats for waiting inside.

This place is a literal NIGHTMARE. They charged me $550 for fixing a door, but then broke my other door which was working PERFECTLY before I left my car with them. They said it happened in the mean time while they were fixing it, so were not liable. WHERE DOES THAT MAKE SENSE. They wanted $350 MORE to fix the door they broke. These people are SCAMMERS. Stay away from this place. Literally in shock, I’ve never had such a horrible experience with an auto repair shop in my life.
