Nu Auto Repair

Great service! I’ve been coming here for over 20 years with no complaints. I recommend NU Auto rather than paying high prices at the dealership.

Best bang for your buck! Me and my family have been getting our cars serviced here for over 20 years!

Definitely recommend this place. These guys are honest and charge fair prices. I was recommended to this place by a friend when I had an issue with my mini cooper. They did an oil change for a great price too.

I know absolutely nothing about cars. I was hesitant to take it to a shop after my car failed the smog test because I figured the cost of repairs would total the car. But I got a referral to this place from a co-​worker who said he’d been going for a number of years so I gave it a shot. I ended up needing a new catalytic converter and they replaced it and re-​ran my smog test for $ 400 bucks. The service was great and they were flexible with my schedule and when I could drop off/​pick up my car. A few weeks later, my turn signals went out and since I had a good experience the first time I went back and they put in a new flasher unit right then (even though they were really busy) for $ 20 bucks. I will use them again for any other repairs I will need.

I took my car here before and they said it was my starter. spent 300 for a new one plus service but car still didn’t work. took it to another place and it wasn’t even the starter. got rip off and Nu auto repair didn’t even change the starter. they lied that they did.

My family has been going here for years. They are quick, good, and inexpensive. The news did a test of auto shops years ago with a minor car problem and Nu’s was the winner. They found the problem right away and didn’t charge anything for the minor repair. I have gone here for everything from an oil change to engine mounts. All their work has been great!

Great place recommended by my aunt. I pulled in and they hopped right into my car and drive it around. Came back and said the test drive was solid but wanted to look at the brake pads. But other than that everything was good. After inspecting the brake pad they recommended replacement and one hour later swapped out new ones. Only $ 300.00 for all four and labor.

Since I am new to SD, and a single female without much of a social support system, I was wary about taking my car in for long-​overdue repairs. I was going to take it to a place on Adams that had stellar ratings, but then I thought I’d check out Nu’s since it’s right down the street from my place.
Based on ratings I read here, I gave it a shot and I had a great experience. I walked in at about 1:00 and they had my car up on the rack within 30 mins even though the parking lot was packed with other vehicles. This was an excellent surprise because I was expecting them to tell me to leave it overnight. The repairs cost much less than I had anticipated and they had me out of there in about 3 hours, which has never happened before with me walking into a place in the middle of the afternoon.
While I was waiting, I had conversations with two older women who both had wonderful things to say about Nu’s. An elder African-​American lady said she’s been coming for over 20 years and loves them. That in itself is testimonial enough for me!
They zipped through the people who just needed oil changes extremely quickly.
Fast, friendly, and efficient.
I will be back, even if I move to another part of the city.

Nu auto is the best they are very trust worthy… and i couldnt go to any other repair shop

Just took my Lexus GS there for a timing belt, water pump and was very happy with the service. Andy and team did quality work at a price that couldn’t be beat. They took the time to show me the parts that they replaced afterwards. It is so hard finding a garage that you trust these days. I would highly recommend these guys.

My husband and I have been taking our cars to Nu Auto Repair for over 20 years with excellent results. We don’t take our vehicles anywhere else. They helped us maintain several vehicles that ended up going for 100K, 150K and even 200K miles! They are fast and never try to sell you a service or part that your car doesn’t need. We trust them implicitly and their prices are very reasonable, always lower than anywhere else. I highly recommend Nu Auto Repair for your car needs. My husband just had his truck transmission rebuilt there.

Really pleased with this place. My check engine light was flashing so I called up another place that wanted to charge 100 bucks to do the diagnostic reading. This place said they’d do it for 60.
I came in the next morning and they were able to do it right away and said that it was a problem with the fuel injector and it would be about 200. About a half hour later the guy came back and said it was just a loose wire and charged me 80, which is less than the cost of the other place just to run the diagnostic.

I got a 10 year Ford Pick Up and they did a great job fixing my Pick Up.
They are Honest and very Reasonable, from now on I will only bring my Pick-​Up
n car only to Nu Auto Repair.
Thanks u guys are great.

This is a small shop, but big and fast results. These guys fix everything, and from experience the costs are usually half the amount of other shops. When you here from a mechanic that no one can beat their prices, call and check with Andy before you break into your wallet. You might be pleasantly surprised. Thanks Andy!

Andy is soooo damn cute!
I found this shop via Unilocal and liked what I read about this place. Honest and reasonable.
My car had been acting up for some time… thought it was the battery but it turned out to be the starter. Had it towed into the shop and Andy jumped in the car and started my car with a lil’ trick he used and a big smile. «It’s the starter you can pick it up tomorrow morning.»
As my Boyfriend & I drove home he said…“This place is legit and this guy seems pretty trustworthy” More older men working there than younger men… old skool mechanics bigtime. OGs
Don’t be fooled by the way it looks from the outside… this is the real deal.

So I had a weird noise with my breaks the other month and I came in to get them changed. I loved how they actually took the time to take a look and told me that it was fine and didn’t need replacing. I’ve been a local for many years and not only is it great to support local businesses, they are also great at what they do. just read the reviews below.
they’ve been in this area for at least 15 years (since I was in elementary school) so they must be doing something right.

Nu Auto Repair is the ONLY mechanic I trust. I have been taking my cars there since I moved near there in 1991. I live several miles away now and they are still the only mechanics I will take my cars to, and the only repair shop I will recommend to my friends. I am convinced that you could walk in with a radiator cap and he could have everything underneath it replaced by 3pm, and at a very fair price. I have only had to leave my car there overnight once, and that was for a complete engine rebuild. Every other time, the car was ready by 3pm.
One of the greatest luxuries in my life has been to have a mechanic that I can trust implicitly.

What can you say about mechanics, you never really know. But I have been going to Nu’s for several years now. My in-​laws and my brother in-​law also go. They seem to be very fair and have not ever done anything «extra» — in fact, they frequently tell me what I DON’T need to do. Every time I’ve been in there, something else tiny has been fixed without even asking me or charging me. I like them and would recommend them. I don’t live that near, worth the drive.

NU’S AUTO REPAIR IS THE BEST IN SD!
Talk about a mechanic with Integrity!
I have been going to Nu’s Auto Repair for five years and have had the best experience! Andy, the owner, has always been upfront and honest ever since I met him. His prices are super low and he never tries to sell things that your car doesn’t need.
I have referred so many people to his shop and they are going to be with him for life. Don’t let the exterior fool you… the shop is older and doesn’t have all the fancy exterior or interior, but this keeps what you pay for repairs to the MINIMUM!
A little story to tell about how honest him and his employees are (I have many)…My good friend’s car was making a loud clicking noise and it kept wanting to die on her and she thought it might be the alternator. So I went with her to Nu’s and we were expecting him to say that it was multiple things and that she was going to have to pay $$$ for repairs. He listened to the car, took a look at the oil and said your oil is 2 quarts low. He put in two quarts, charged her $ 5 for the oil and that was it! So amazing! I feel that if she were to have gone anywhere else they would have tried to rip her off. On top of that we were two females, who seem to be easy targets for mechanics!
IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING DONE FOR YOUR CAR… I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING TO NU’S! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! I am definitely a lifer!
Thank you for reading!

One of the fastest and most reasonable mechanics I’ve found in San Diego. I will still drive (or get towed) all the way from La Jolla to Nu to have him service my car. Never overcharges for labor and does great work.
If you can get your vehicle in the lot by 9am, he can typically finish repairs by noon unless he has to order some special parts. They’re not great with electrical stuff, but they can refer you to a specialist if need be.
A+++ Highly recommend!
