Extremely disappointed, brought my car in for a basic alignment in December. TAKE YOUR CAR ELSEWHERE IF YOU VALUE TIME, MONEY and SAFETY!!!! Was quoted a reasonable price and it was a local business so I thought I would give it a chance for a simple job. Upon receiving initial quote and scheduling time, about one hour after I dropped off my car I got a call saying that they needed a unique part in order to align my front right tire. The additional service fee and part brought the total price from just over 100 to 300+. When asked, turns out the this basic adapter part was only a few dollars but they didn’t have it in stock and tacked on a ton of labor and service fee. My gut instinct was this was a major red flag but I gave them the benefit of the doubt since I had already invested all this time bringing my car in and took time off work. Few weeks later and whatever they did seems to have exacerbated the problem so the one tire is now VISIBLY JUTTING out. Will likely have to pay someone else to fix their mistake. I did reach out my text to give them a chance to make it right, but am hesitant to trust them with my vehicle. Not sure if they are competent to fix this or will try and surprise upcharge me again, likely will take elsewhere.

Needed some service on the 370z but I also needed to get a smog done for the first time since I’ve had it. I’ve got to say, car stuff is stressful and can be expensive, especially when you are trying out a new auto shop with uncertainty of everyone’s attitude and/or honesty but then you meet some real calm, and friendly fellas. This was probably the most un-intimidating, pleasant experience at a shop I’ve ever had and as a woman myself, it was cool to also see a woman (Alyssa) in the shop working on cars, taking their time with a thorough overview of the car, gathering photos and useful notes/information that I wasn’t aware of or expecting. Had a plan to get a few things done *alignment, wheel/tire balance, smog, and belt replacement* but I wasn’t sure if everything would go smoothly, however Ben, Justin and Alyssa went above and beyond to make sure things did go smoothly, where it seems that kind of effort and helpfulness just isn’t as common at a lot of places. I appreciate what you guys do and the work and care you guys provided to my car. Feels way better to drive and I’ll be calling for another appointment soon, thank you thank you!

My experience with Wentworth Auto has been unparalleled to any other mechanic shop I have ever taken my car to. From the very beginning Justin and Ben were very helpful and listened to all my concerns and were very knowledgeable in their responses. I bought a used car without knowing any previous maintenance history and they not only addressed my main issue but completed an inspection of the entire vehicle. I received a detailed list with pictures describing future service recommendations and ranked them in terms of priority. This level of transparency and customer service is something I have never experienced at a mechanic before and I will be recommending all future business to their shop with confidence. Not to mention the M&M’s they included when I picked up the car!! Thank you Justin and Ben for the fantastic experience!

I’ve used wentworth a few times to service my truck in the past. This time I had a crank no start issue with my duramax diesel. Not sure if they’re that familiar with diesels but this time they were terrible. At first they called and said they didn’t know what the problem was but they though maybe it could be the fuel filter housing leaking internally. They said that was $800 to replace. Which seemed odd because the part is only a $120 part and not that difficult to replace. I didn’t think that was possible so I asked them to keep troubleshooting it. The next day they said we think the fuel pump which is under the intake manifold was bad. They said that was $3300 to replace. I ended up taking the truck back and troubleshooting it myself. Turns out it was a $5 piece of fuel line that was dry rotted and letting air in.

Been going here for a while. I trust them to do a great job, which they always do and they have great prices. The owner and staff are all friendly and knowledgable. Just came in for a smog check and was in and out pretty in a reasonable time. Just got my car out of the shop again. My starter died on me at the grocery store. They were able to get me in the next day and once again, they did an excellent job. I highly recommend this place for all your services. Just got my car back again, 8-15-23. Had several things fixed. I took my car in this morning. Didn't think I'd get it back so soon. They had all the parts ordered ahead of time. Got my car back in like 4.5 hours. Really appreciated it. I highly recommend them. I've been going there for quite a while and have gotten nothing but great service and prices.

Great family owned business. My agency has been taking our fleet vehicles to this location for years. Great work! The owner and staff are awesome! Something that is extremely above and beyond is the owner understands my extreme fear of Lyfts, which is used as a 'shuttle service'. The owner takes time out of his busy day to personally do a drop off and pick up to my office location. It's cool because you get to know these folks on another level. This place is just awesome! And they make cookies every morning for their customers, they have sodas coffee ☕️, tea and the newspaper while you wait. Again, such a great business! Thanks everyone!

  • Dolyn Hall

Wentworth Auto took care of everything for me in great time. The communication is amazing, I love the texting system and the fact that everything is laid out on your phone and you choose wht to get fixed rather than having the pressure of someone telling you. Man, the employee who helped me, was very detailed in explaining what i needed and why, the things i can hold off on and when i will need them, and never made me feel like i was pushed to get a repair. This is definitely going to be my go to stop. Great to know they do SMOG checks and tires as well. Seems like you can get everything done there and the prices were great!

  • Herb Mattos

I picked this repair shop based on previous Google reviews. I was a little concerned at first with the cost of the initial inspection and then the cost of the brake repair. After completing the brake repair, the inspection cost was absorbed into the total cost which was very fair. The service was fast and the communication process was definitely impressive. I will definitely use them again for future repairs. As for the quality of the work, I will need to do a separate review in a few weeks to give a true review. Thank you for completing the work so quickly!

  • Brenda Hull

My vehicle needed thorough checking and maintenance. Having moved to San Diego recently, I had asked for recommendations. Wentworth Automotive was the first referral. I checked their reviews and found most favorable. Maintaining positive, reputable reviews for 20+ years speaks volumes. I appreciated the detailed, color-coded maintenance overview and associated costs for each. Everyone was so friendly, and their shuttle service is definitely a welcomed plus.

  • Mike S

We are taking our company vehicles here after the dealer did us wrong one final time. This is a small but capable shop, so you get attentive and thorough service, both as a customer and for your vehicle. I am taking another one of our vehicles down there tomorrow for an oil change and inspection. I know it will done competently and I will be informed through the entire process if they have found any other issues that may need attention.

  • Mario Ibanez

The technician is very profesional!. They know exactly what they are doing. The service is outstanding!. Friendly environment. Very friendly environment, which it’s a great experience when to take your car for a repair, most places aren’t as welcoming. This place is welcoming. Good overall repair and laboring prices as well!.

  • Nicholas Rowell

Very friendly staff, kept me up to date with the maintenance process and let me honestly know exactly what's needed and what could wait for preventative maintenance. Fair prices and when additional work was required they did the work without charging any additional costs. Will definitely be going back.

Great service, friendly and professional. I brought my truck in thinking it needed wheel bearing replacements but I was informed they were fine. These guys could have charged me for a preemptive repair but chose to be honest.
