Everytime I come here I get great service. Year after year, mission Bay automotive consistently delivers quality, timely service, and at a competitive price. Look no further!

Have taken my Jeep here since 2020, suddenly they refuse my business because my Jeep is modded, though they’ve worked on it before. Ok fine bro, deny the business.

I've gone here for years. Always professional and prompt service. I trust them will all repairs and maintenance for my 1995 Ford Bronco.

MBA took care of us quickly and efficiently. We had to get on the road asap and our van needed a new starter. They got us in right away, got a starter over to the shop immediately and had us back on the road in less than 2 hours. 10/10 service.

My mother had her vehicle misdiagnosed and once we paid to have an extra part replaced they mentioned that the compressor was the reason and that it was 1200 to replace. On the way home from the shop the belt popped off. When I called to let them know they had no remorse they said "we can put it back on for you but it's going to keep coming back off" would have been nice to know before having it replaced. When bringing it in to have the serpentine belt replaced we let them know that the compressor was not working and that the AC had not been on for a while. But instead of letting us know that the compressor was the reason for the belt popping off they said that the reason the belt came off was because the tensioner was bad so of course we had to replace the tensioner and the belt. More $. Whatever they can do to turn a profit.

Paid 7k for a engine swap and new engine blew less than a year later! They only gave me a 3 month warranty. I will never go there again..

They’re very nice here and do a great job. I’ve been coming for years and never felt like they are ripping me off.

they broke my car more to make me spend more money to fix it! Marcos is a bad manager and he is not responsible and reliable

Both times I’ve been here have been poor experiences. Both were diagnostic issues, the first time the issue ended up being fixed by a different shop after this place failed to fix it completely. This recent time was just a diagnostic check after having some engine issues. I was told by the shop that my issue was far more severe than it was. Once I got it home on a jack for myself it took w 3-4 hours to fix, and was completely inaccurate to what I was told. The check itself took less than 10 minutes and I was charged $150 for an incorrect diagnostic. They’ll take advantage of you or fail to fix your problem, don’t go here

Good staff. Helpful.

Great customer service! Marcos helped me with one of my back lights and checked my oil levels per request. He told me that the levels were good and I loved his honesty. Other places could have lied to change the oil and charge for that. I will definitely come back for an oil change next time and use their services again. Thank you!

I called Mission Bay Auto to ask about bringing my car in for a brake service. They told me they weren’t busy and to head over and they could take me right away. They did the assessment, told me they’d call me within the hour (which they did) and gave me options to fix to my brakes. Once we decided on what I wanted to do, they got right to work and fixed my brakes same day. All within a 4-5 hour window of me calling. Highly recommend. Amazing experience!

Strait forward with pricing and work. Thank you!

These guys are great. I come for regular maintenance on my car and always get great same day service.

These guys are the real deal. I have a 1988 Chevy K5 Blazer that needed quite a bit of work done. I called around to about five different mechanics before I found one that was comfortable working on my older vehicle. Chris was super responsive and transparent throughout the whole process. One of the things I've been trying to get fixed for literal years is a mystery coolant leak that four other mechanics couldn't locate. MBA automotive figured it out right away and I'm happy to say I haven't had to add coolant to my vehicle since I got it back! Honesty and transparency are so hard to find in a mechanic these days, so I can't recommend these guys enough.

They were professional, polite, and were on it, when I needed it done. Thousand thanks. Would recommend them to anyone.👍

Took my van to have a simple oli change and they overflow with oil. See picture. Took back so they could fix it and the guys told me they will not help me. I paid $170 for the oli chain they should be wiling to fix it their mistake.

We were from out of town and ended up going to Mission Bay because of their excellent review rating. We also want to add our high praises for this mechanic shop and for Marcus. If we could give it a higher rating then 5 we would. They worked with us, our unique situation, and all of it in a timely manner. They made the necessary repairs, were honest about needed to be done, and got us on our way. I highly recommend this shop and want to thank Marcus publicly for all his help and kindness!

not satisfied at all. paid for an hour of "diagnostic" at $142 and all they did was check the fuel pressure which an amateur mechanic can do in 10 minutes. will be writing a letter to the manager. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Could not be happier with the service here. Fast and friendly services, reasonably priced, and most importantly they are very honest and won't recommend anything you don't need. Love using this local business.

Great service by great people. I will be referring family and friends there.

Honestly finally an auto shop that genuinely shows they care not only about people but most importantly the issues with your vehicle.Mike informed me every step of the way including me in the process so that I understood exactly what the issues were and what was needed to be done.but what really stood out were the words "I WILL NOT RELEASE THIS VEHICLE TOO you TILL I AM 110 PERCENT SATISFIED THAT THEE ISSUE YOUR CAR IS EXPERIANCING IS SOLVED.Since then no more problems.Mike and his team of experts in my book are thee best around.Thank you Brother!

I had the engine in my Jeep replaced and then it started having issues. I took it in to get a diagnostic. Mike was very honest and professional and charged me less than the estimate. 10/10 will go back here next time I need a mechanic.

Mike and the team at Mission Bay Automotive are a friendly group of professionals who do great work, they are reliable and trustworthy. We are in our fourth year taking our vehicles to them. Even though we no longer live in the Mission Bay area, and some distance away. These days when one finds a company this trustworthy, one dose not want to leave.

Very down to earth and honest about pricing.
