Morena Automotive cannot have any better custumer service.
Bubba helped me out greatly. I went due to an electrical problem that I couldnt find. Changed battery two weeks before and car would be dead every day after. Pedro checked the car and could not find what was wrong. They didnt charge me anything. Not even fornstoring the car there for one night. They recommended an electrician and they resolved the problem the next day.
Thanks Bubba and PedroHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - E C.San Rafael, CA01Aug 26, 2024
My son is new to SDSU and needed electrical work and brake lights fixed ASAP. As his father and 500 miles away, I found Morena Automotive on Yelp. Matt took great care of my son's car and was very reasonable and professional. Its a great feeling to have a mechanic to trust and know my son will be in good hands while living in San Diego. Thanks again guys.

I have been a San Diego resident for over 50 years and never heard of this establishment. I am disappointed that I didn't hear about them in years ago. They are honest, friendly, efficient and inexpensive. I used to go to Hunt tech but now that they're

I always get anxiety when my car breaks down, because I know the next step is visit to auto repair shop and I am going to be paying out of the wazoo! Well NOT here! You are in good hands with Brian and his staff. They are HONEST! Finally a repair shop I can trust. My car is 2007 ACURA TSX 140k miles and I really don't want to invest in a new car! I feel like if I just keep up with maintenance I can keep it for few more years. I have been here 3xs and first time they wouldn't even charge me because they found nothing wrong w my car! How more honest can you be!
For all those that need a repair don't be scared! Thank you Brian, Harry, Bubba and rest of staff!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Robert Z.Scottsdale, AZ05512Jul 1, 2024Updated review
We have been using their auto repair services for years and have a high level of trust with any recommendation they make. We have serviced both American, Japanese and German cars with great results. Always reliable, always fair. They are the best! Highly recommended!!!

I needed my AC repaired, oil change and emissions tested. Brian was honest and fair. I appreciate the communication during the repair process. Highly recommended! - Troy M.CA, CA041Jul 2, 2024

Came in because the people working at an oil change shop said I was going to need a gasket replaced. Instead of taking advantage, the mechanics at Morena Automotive checked it out and said the oil change people were wrong and my car was actually fine. Didn't charge me for anything (e.g. an "inspection") other than the oil change I still needed anyway!

Fastest service I've ever had when it came to servicing my Jeep. I'm glad I came!
Had a few issues with the spark plugs and a cylinder, Brian and Bubba were able to diagnose the root of the cause and get to work on it.
I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for quality work and NO UPSELLING. I hate that upselling s***.
They really look out for their local community members and military families. Thanks again guys!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0
