Over the years I have owned a Volvo 960 and two Volvo XC-90's. Lusti motors has serviced all of them (many different issues.) Not only did I love my Volvos, but I loved Lusti Motors service! Always friendly, professional, honest, with excellent service and reasonable prices. Finding a trustworthy auto repair shop is invaluable. They receive my highest recommendation:-)

RYAN THE MAN THAT TOOK MY ORDER AT THE FRONT DESK WAS VERY MANNERABLE AND PROFESSIONAL. HE TOLD ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW CLEARLY AND TO THE POINT. WHEN HE I GOT MY 2004 PASSAT BACK IT RAN SMOOTHLY AND PICKED UP MORE SPEED THAN IT HAD WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN. I DIDN'T GET CHARGED AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE. I GOT A GOOD PRICE. THATS WHERE I'M TAKING MY CAR FROM NOW ON ! I'M REALLY HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE.

I like the Way they don’t pressure me into additional services that are not serious problems. They are always professional and friendly.

I was having a tough time finding a good repair shop for the year and make of my 2004 Audi. And thank goodness that I found Lusti! Ryan was so patient with me, and giving me peace of mind with repairs for my car. I highly recommend this place! A big shout-out and thank you to Ryan!

I've used Lusti motors for over 20 years! My first car was a 1980 Volvo DL in 1993 and I've taken multiple cars including a Honda Civic, BMW 325i, Saab 95, Volvo S60 and now my Audi Q5. They do reliable and affordable work of all kinds on all makes and models. They recently really helped me out and saved my about $500 on the last repair versus going to the dealership. A+ and highly recommend!

It was excellent customer service

My Audi had an engine issue and they got it fixed in the same day! Fantastic service and they get it done quick. Highly recommend.

Overall I am very pleased with the service I received at Lusti motors and would recommend them. I only have one complaint. I understand that car maintenance is a dirty job, however, I am very picky about the cleanliness of my car and expect that precautions are taken to ensure that oily hands do not touch things like my steering wheel, etc. Obviously this can be achieved by the tech wearing fresh gloves or washing hands before maneuvering the car, or, having an employee move and test the car who is other than the primary mechanic. Ryan apologized that they did not have time to wash my car because of the late checkout time and offered that I bring it back for a wash, though I stated that the car was pretty clean and I thanked him anyway. Upon getting home, I realized there were plenty of oily handprints in numerous places on the exterior, and as my car interior is black, it is difficult to determine if the same lack of care was used when moving or test driving the car. I would say it is fair to reason that the oily evidence was on plenty of surfaces inside as well, and I spent considerable time detailing and cleaning any interior surface that may have oily residue. Generally I have not had this problem with other repair shops and will make it very clear when I return to Lusti motors my specific preferences.

Professional and friendly staff, easy scheduling, quick drop off and pick up! My second oil change in my new Audi and this was much easier than the dealership! Thanks so much!

The mechanics and service at Lusti are second to none, I’ve been coming here for 8+ years and they are always very honest and reliable, going above and beyond what I’ve asked of them.

Feb 06, 2024

They did good work and weren't pushy, Their prices are competitive and were able to schedule me in on short notice even though they were short people.

Feb 06, 2024

Very good happy with service Ryan was nice seems like a honest shop good experience al around would recommend

Feb 06, 2024

We love this place. They are always accommodating and helpful. We have been taking our cars here for over thirty years. We also purchased three used cars from them that have been great cars. We highly recommend!

We took our 1999 Lexus RX300 to a San Diego Lexus dealer because the Check Engine Light was on. The dealer identified two major repairs that needed to be made with an estimated cost of more than $15,000. We paid $200 for the estimate and took the car home. A friend of ours has been taking his 1999 Mercedes to Lusti Motors for more than a dozen years, and he recommended we take our Lexus there instead. We did. Ryan Lusti was super helpful and kept in touch with us all through the process. We agreed to Lusti's diagnosis and recommendations, and the total bill was less than $2,000 - about 10% of what the dealer had estimated. Ryan also gave us a loaner car while the repairs were being made. Our friend was right and we've become new permanent customers of Lusti Motors. Our RX300 has 120K miles on it and we hope to keep it going to 200K miles, with Lusti Motors' help. We are very happy and recommend the firm enthusiastically and without any reservations.

I had my Volvo serviced Lusti for the first time. Their customer service and mechanical repairs are fantastic! Ryan the service technician was very helpful and knowledgeable about what service my car needed. I am very happy to now have a an excellent service company for my Volvo repairs!

I'm fortunate enough to drive a wonder from the Black Forest and I cannot imagine anyone but Lusti Motors looking under the hood. I've been with them through a few iterations ( Autohaus Stuttgart on Balboa anyone?) because they've never disappointed and for every service visit, I believe the cost per visit is fair. My service advisor Ryan, has been nothing but efficient, personable and professional and will keep you informed between drop-off and pick-up.You'd be hard pressed to find a full service service center for imports other than Lusti Motors.

Feb 06, 2023

Lusti Motors has been my repair shop for many years. Over the years I have found them to be skilled, helpful, friendly, truthful, and courteous. I have always felt that when I left my car with them, it was in good hands. I have recently moved out of town and miss them a lot. Good service like theirs is hard to find.

Feb 06, 2023

Lusti has been my go to place to get my cars serviced. Their trained mechanics give me the confidence that the diagnosis and repair was valid. I've been going there for 15 years and the feeling is the same.

Feb 06, 2023

Lusti is great, from the friendly service advisors to the mechanics. They are fair, don't sell things you don't need, and finish when promised.

Feb 06, 2023

They charge me for evaluation to tell me that my tire is flat

Feb 06, 2023

Our engine light came on and the car was running rough. Dealer said they could look at it in 7-10 days😵‍💫. I called Lusti because they were close to my home and I was desperate. Turned out GREAT. Ryan got us in that day and diagnosed the problem by late afternoon. We had our car back by noon the next day. Estimates were honest and Ryan took the time to show us the part and what went wrong Highly recommended
