I’m so glad to have found at Coastal Auto Repair! Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I needed a clutch replacement, and they got everything done in just 3 days. My car is running perfectly now and I couldn’t be more happy with the service.
Ian and Kevin, owners, are the best. They are honest, knowledge and we've taken our cars there for many years. My hubby had an issue with the computer on his e-car and Ian spent a great deal of time trying to figure out and didn't charge us. Ian is more concerned with helping. Highly recommend.
This review is long overdue! I own a 2015 Jeep Wrangler and after trying a couple other shops, I knew Coastal Auto Repair was going to be my go-to. Ian gave me a great first impression - honest, polite, and professional - and the entire staff works together like a solid team.
My main tech has been Jose, and he’s truly a master at diagnosis. He delivers quality work with a quick turnaround and has handled just about everything my Jeep has thrown at him. Over the years, they’ve serviced and repaired:
- Tie Rods, Drag Link, Shock Stabilizer
- Power Steering Pump, Drive Belt
- Valve Cover Gaskets
- Lifters, Exhaust Camshaft Bank 1
- Spark Plugs
- Front Driveshaft
- Power Steering Oil Cooler
- Regear 4.88
- Rear Brakes
- Rear Wheel Bearings
- Auxiliary Fan & Aux Beam Switch Install
- Front & Rear Bajas
- Aftermarket Fenders & Fender Cover
- Shocks & Springs (Front and Rear)
- Rear Left Axle
- Rear Hinge Reinforcement Install
- Reflashed Transmission Control Module
- Computer Tune to Proper Tire Size
- WeBoost Install
- Custom Muffler Install
- Frame Chop Front & Rear Bumpers
- Replacement Wheels & Tires
If you know Jeeps, you know about the infamous death wobble and lifter ticking noise - they took care of both without issue.
Bottom line: Coastal Auto Repair has earned my full trust. Quality work, great service, and peace of mind knowing my Jeep is in the right hands. Thank you guys!

Ian and his team of highly capable technicians took fantastic care of my Subaru Forester. From the routine (brakes, battery and oil) to the unordinary (diagnosing and addressing a throttle body malfunction), they fixed it right the first time, and for a very affordable price. The shop was quite busy, but also very orderly. I received ample updates on the status of my repair, and a rundown of costs in parts/labor upon pickup. I will absolutely be taking my vehicles to Coastal Auto Repair moving forward!
Ian explains clearly and patiently and gives me a good price. The job is always well-done when I get back my car. And Kevin in the office is always friendly and courteous when I drop off or pick up the car.

Absolute stellar service, family owned, genuine, kind and accommodating. I brought my old Honda in without an appointment, they were able to accommodate me same day-they called with a diagnosis and price a few hours later and confirmed she'd be ready for pick up that same afternoon. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back for car help in the future!
Amazing customer service. Knowledgable staff. Received my car the following days as promised.

Ian and his team are amazing. We were setting out to drive home from San Diego to northern CA when our alternator went out at 4:00 am. We had our vehicle towed to his shop and got checked in at 8:00. They were able to get us serviced, despite being very busy, at a great cost and in time for us to still be able to drive home that day. This would be our new shop if we lived down here. Thanks Ian!
Super honest about my check engine light, which ended up being nothing. Bill was zero. I’ve heard horror stories of other mechanics that would have done otherwise. These guys are trustworthy and that’s big in auto repair.
