Blades Automotive 5225 Riley Street, San Diego, CA 92110

"My son was driving my truck in San Diego and the engine began knocking. We live 2 hours away so I called around to get someone to check it out before he drives home. Nobody could look at it. I got ahold of Blades and he understood the urgency and told me to have him take it in, even though they were busy and couldn’t work on it today. He checked it out and diagnosed the problem quickly and my son was able to drive it home. Great customer service. Thank you!"

"Gary shot you straight from the beginning and wasn't Pushy. Would definitely recommend people go to him. No one could own a dog like bella and not treat you right ;)"

"Gary is the man! He is by far the most selfless and honest mechanic I have ever had. He is a Soulful guy and goes out of his way to save you money. He does not do frivolous work or make recommendations that financially don't make sense. Even my most seasoned friends that I've sent there with their own experiences have called me to thank me as well as compliment Gary for all the same reasons and experiences that I've had with him over the years. His new shop is a little challenged in space so be patient but as long as you talk with Gary he will work it out and he'll shoot it straight as he always does. I do recommend speaking with Gary directly regarding any of the planning or management of your repairs. Give him a chance and you'll be happy that you did!"

"Two things I look for in Automotive Repair Shops 1. Are they honest 2. Are they reasonable. I found Blades Automotive through a friend of mine and decided to check it out since my mechanic moved away. Gary, the owner, was beyond reasonable with his prices, which is smart to keep his customers coming back, but he's also honest and this is very important to me. I was tired of going to mechanics and being told things were wrong with my car that weren't and the prices always seem to skyrocket for me then if my son or dad went with my car. I'm grateful to have found Blades Automotive I recommend them to all the women out their that don't know much about repairs because Gary is honest mechanic."

"I bring all my family cars here. I've known Gary for over 30 years - Dependable, Reliable and Fair Pricing. He knows cars and gives you an honest evaluation of the situation. But even better is the great work that is done on your car."
