Henry’s Auto Repair

I have taken several cars (and referred several friends and family members) to Brian and his guys and have always been happy with both the repair and the price. They complete services fast and are honest and fair. I will never trust another mechanic with my car! Henry’s is the best!

Brain and his team are awesome!!! Thanks

This is a place that when you have an old car you don’t have much to worry about. Just have it towed in and they will find the most effective way to fix it. They are so busy yet sweet, and they don’t have time to inflate the work and prices like the ph.d.‘s at the dealers, nor do they create more harm. Mechanical, electrical… whatsoever! I had electrical problems that other places cannot handle, but they fix it all in one day. The people working there are so straightforward and honest. The location is also good… plenty of good places to eat up the next block if you want to wait for the car while being fixed.

Every since they repaired my wife’s car I have been going back since. I will never go no place else.

The sister named Twin at the El Cajon Blvd branch told me I don’t need to smog my 2005 Prius when the DMV Renewal Notice said I did. So I took off work lost 1.5 hours pay only to find that my vehicle DOES need to be smogged. Her brother at the 47^th St. shop told me he would «remind her». So who is going to pay for my time? I’m DEMANDING A FREE or discounted smog when I return. FRHOCK! Do your homework people! That is just unprofessional to the MAX.

Had my 97 Sentra towed there. I thought it needed a new alternator and was quoted a price of $ 250-​ish parts and labor. Brian called pretty quickly to let me know that it was the belts and not the alternator and it would be $ 170 parts and labor instead. I asked him how long it would take and he said a few hours.
About an hour later Brian called to let me know my front brake pads were low and it would be something like another $ 150. I asked how long the pads had left on them and Brain said they were ten to fifteen percent and I could get another couple months out of them. I declined having the brakes done and Brian said he would call me when the car was ready.
About two hours later Brian called and said my car was ready. Went down there and it was waiting as promised. Paying was effortless. Service was speedy. Car is running again.

Brian and his crew are incredible. I live in National City and I make the trek to his shop whenever my truck is in trouble. Service is fast, well done and less expensive than anyone else I’ve come across.
I simply can’t say enough good things about Henry’s. A+

Don’t get fooled by the fact the place looks like, well, looks like it is in a mess. Brian and his staff know exactly what they are doing. You can trust them with your beaten up car or your Beemer. They DO KNOW what they are doing. They do care and they will warranty their work. Go shop for prices elsewhere then go see Brian, you will get your repair done at half the cost. Again, don’t worry if it looks like they don’t know what they are doing, THEY DO KNOW and do it well.

I have been going to these guys for the last 10 years, and they usually seem to be able to figure out what’s wrong with my car and find a cost effective solution.
One thing to be careful of is the wait — they are extremely busy and it can get pretty chaotic.

I was referred here by a coworker. This was my first time EVER going to a mechanic shop by myself. As a female, I could have been taken advantage of. Brian was absolutely honest. I came in to have my brakes done and let him know that he can make the call on changing the roters if needed. He only charged for the pads at a very decent price. My husband even said that was a great deal. I will definitely come back for future repairs needed.

Cheapest, fastest, and friendliest car service I’ve ever encountered! :) This place is always busy, but Brian always makes time for everyone! Go here!!!

My girlfriends car kept making a loud click or pop noise every time the wheel was turned all the way to the left or right while the car is sitting idle. We had the axles replaced at the dealership while the car was still under warranty. Well mt girlfriend’s car is no longer under the warranty, so we took it to the auto shop I trusted from past experiences. They did some test and diagnosis to the car to find out what was making that noise. After they repaired the problem, Brian, the shop manager, told me that there were some loose bolts that had to do with the lower control arm and rack and pinoin which most likely was caused by the Honda dealership. The guys at Henrys auto fixed our problem and there is no more noise. On top of it, Brian did not try to sell me any bogus story of repairs. He did not try to rip me and my girlfriend off like what most shops would do in a situation like ours. We did not know the cause of the problem so other shops can sell you parts that you might not even need. Brian gave me a sweet price for fixing the problem and it saved me a ton of headache and did not hurt my wallet one bit. I recommend this place not only because of their affordable prices, but because of their honesty, top of the line work, and reputation. Thanks again Brian.

Brian is the best. I’ve been taking my car here for years and have always received great service. I’ve referred family and friends and everyone says the same thing. Reasonably priced, honest and straight forward.
Can’t go wrong with Henry’s!

First mechanic I ever wen t to. My dad recommended him to me when I got my first car over 10 years ago, and I’ve been coming back ever sense. He’s always been straight up. Reasonably priced, and relatively quick. What more can you ask for from a mechanic, but honesty, quality work, and a sense of urgency.

Ive been to Henrys about 4 times and never had a problem. While waiting for my brakes done Brian the office manager helped two people with price knocking a few dollars off the labor for one of them and working out a payment plan with the other. I know he doesn’t normally do that but it told me a lot about him and his business. Hes pretty much a straight forward, honest, no nonsense type guy. So many people come to him that parking just sucks. All in all I recommend.

A rare great place. Brian is honest and doesn’t jerk people around. Prices are low. Quality car repair. They’re always busy. Plain and simple — go to this place.

DON’T TAKE YOUR CAR ANY WHERE ELSE!!!
Brian has been taking care of my families cars for over 10 years! I trust him beyond any level a mechanic should be trusted!!!
The best part about Henry’s is their pricing… usually 40% or more discounted pricing compared to any dealer.
FYI…i am reluctantly leaving this 5* review because i fear it getting too busy… but the boys deserve it!

As a girl I have serious trust issues when it comes to auto repair places. It’s almost embarrassing how clueless I am about my car! At Henry’s I didn’t feel that way for a second. I was referred to Brian by a friend and I’m so glad I was! He never once tried to sell me on something I didn’t need. The service was quick, the prices seemed more than fair, and my car’s not doing weird things anymore! I’d refer anyone to these guys in a heartbeat. Thanks Brian!

Look! I’ve been coming here since I’ve been driving my whole family knows Brian! He has hard workers and will always give you a great deal. Who needs the dealership when I have an Asian guy in the hood! (LoL) but real talk! This shop is very trustworthy and will always look out for you! I’m not saying it cause Im Asian I’m saying it cause it’s the truth!!!

I was referred to Brian by one of his many loyal customers of many years.
I can only thank her for referring me to Brian. Honesty, Competency, Integrity.
Competitive prices. What else can you ask?
