SHOUTOUT TO MIKE AND HIS FINE TEAM!!
I really appreciate that I can take my 2013 Mini Cooper to 1st Ave. European and when I pick it up a few days later all of the annoying "warning" lights are off and she seems "good as new"... I find the entire staff helpful, professional and highly competent.

I found this gem randomly when my daughters newly purchased used car broke down near this shop. I drove down from HB to find out what was wrong and say Michaels shop and went in to find out if he could help us. I had car towed there and he was amazing and got us rolling again. Truly blessed to have found our new mechanic in San Dieg!!

Terrific auto repair. Staff attentive and helpful. Your car is carefully reviewed and you are informed of all things requiring service. However - you can decide what to repair and what to live with. Staff is top flight. Repairs are well planned. Things are well explained.
What could be better is an understanding of the repair needs - most consumers need to know what is Urgent (Red Light - repair now), Important to monitor (Yellow Light - important but can wait and monitor), No rush but monitor ( Green Light - normal wear and tear - comfort/drive-ability repair).
Thanks 1st Ave European!
