Tri Automotive

Great price, quality work. Thanks Tri for keeping Lolla running!

This place is great! This is the first honest mechanic I have ever dealt with. He tells me what needs to be fixed in order of priority and cost rather than try to trick me and have me fix everything at once, knowing full-​well I can’t afford it. He does a great job and explains to me in full-​detail what he did and how he fixed the problem. And his rates are affordable.

I hate it when my car breaks.
I don’t change the oil, or water or whatever and I am always months overdue on the tune up thing.
That said, mechanics can easily take advantage of me. I’m a target for sure.
When I moved here from San Diego, I left behind a mechanic that was a friend and always about 30% less than everywhere else. All my friends saw my guy in SD.
So when I did have car troubles and found Tri Automotive, the first few times, I called my mechanic in SD and said, «Hey, Tri said this needs to be done to my car and for this much, does that sound right?» And every time, Mikey, my mechanic in SD said something along the lines of yes this sounds right, and that is a great price, about the same as I would give you.
So yes I love Tri Automotive. He explains things to me, more than I usually care to know. When he changes a part, he shows me the old parts and the new parts and what went wrong, even though in reality it goes in one ear and out the other. He answers my questions. And he never is too busy for me, yet his shop is always packed and with people.
