I chose La Mesa Auto Care because they were a member of the BBB and had been in La Mesa since 1986. What I found was that I was misled as to the cost for repairs and then charged more for a used part then I would have been charged to buy the new one. I was quoted an estimate of $600, called my husband for agreement on spending it, then when I told La Mesa Auto Care to go ahead and do the work the owner said he was... view more mistaken about the cost of the parts and that it would be $800, but that he might be able to get the $300 fuel evap. canister for less used, if I wanted him to try. I said sure and then called around to see if I could help find a used part to save them time finding one. When I called back to let them know I found a part they said they had found one for $50, so not to worry, it was being delivered. When I went to pickup my car it cost me $700, which I expected to be less with the cost of 2 of the parts being lower. I was told that they had to drive to get the part (which I would have been willing to get myself) at $85 an hour for 3 hrs and then they charged me $140 for the part instead of the $50 they paid, some markup is reasonable but 3x the original price, so I paid $395 for the used part instead of $300 for a new one. Being a military member on a tight budget I am greatly disappointed and feel taken advantage of and will never trust La Mesa Auto Care with my automotive care needs. The only service I was satisfied with was the girls that were employed at the front counter. They were wonderful.
