Solana Beach Auto Repair

very pleasant to deal with. quick appointment. fast service. very thorough in evaluating service needs.

I NEED TO APOLIGIES from my last review i did. it was not directed to Drive Auto care at all. I by accident clicked 3 stars which i meant to select 5 stars, i was upset with my truck, so i selected the wrong quality of service by mistake. Drive Auto care has done absolutely nothing wrong. I think my first review has sent a wrong impression. The management has suggested against putting money, in to a old engine I do agree. i also need to clarify Drive Auto has the man power to rebuild the heads that's not the case. its because i have a old tired engine which down the road i may come across other issues it could not be more true a 1997 Toyota Tacoma is a old truck but if you see its condition that changes the whole story . I had 156,000 miles on my first engine, and my head gasket blew. I then had a Toyota dealer place a new engine block, because the old block, was not flat damaged by the leaking . After only 80,000 miles the engine has attained a small leak in head gasket again. I think its because i have a supercharger is why i have head gasket problems. . Only the transmission gears, have 240, 000 miles on it but not the engine . I drive it lightly my friend has the same truck and has a supercharger on his and it's pushing 350,000 miles its very strange why i have this problem with my 97 Toyota. I have given Drive Auto a ton of business, and I bring business, to them with out them knowing it's from me . I must say Drive Auto, did a great job, in replacing my clutch. I thank the crew, and all the personnel, you guys do top notch quality work and are very professional in fixing and giving proper advice. So hopefully this clears things up . PS i decided to buy a extra engine with new heads sitting wrapped up in my patio so when its time to have another blown head gasket all i have to do is switch the engine fix the bad one . I will keep the truck because its the last of the true mini pick ups its in great shape, i get a lot of offers and looks, i think ill keep the beast, and deal with its little problems use it as a toy, problem solved . Thank you sincerely Jim A

I came for a smog check on NYE -- it was prompt and very quick. Excellent service. I love my hometown autoshop!

Drive always does an excellent job of servicing my Cadillac. I've been using them for eight years, and will continue to do so.

A perfect auto-repair experience! Excellent service and kind and knowledgeable staff. They are so good we drive over from LA to get our cars serviced. Thanks guys, always a pleasure doing doing business with you!

The place is wedged in the Solan Beach community. I worked with Brian and found him to be very professional and knowledgeable. I was impressed with the work and service.
