I love, love, love these people! Dave explains everything & wont perform services unless needed.I needed some minor attention this time, but I found my new auto shop...finally someone whos reasonable!
We have used Hontech for years. My daughter first recommended them, now both my daughters use them. My wifes 2003 Camry has been taken there for years. They are extremely honest, reliable, never oversell. Understand the cars they work on and can explain why you need something or dont in simple terms. I highly recommend them as they have always done the great work and stand behind it. Thanks!
Love this place. Top tier customer service, not over priced, and Top tier quality work. I couldn’t wait to take my car back here once I moved back. I know my Honda is in good hands here.
Hontech made it easy to schedule and determine what services were needed. They were flexible about drop off and pick up. It was helpful that Dave texted with detailed recommendations and was honest with what services were a priority. I will be coming back!
A friend recommended HONTECH and I’m so glad he did! Everyone was super cheerful and nice, quick service, and great customer service. One employee even offered to wait for me to arrive on her lunch break. Definitely will be using this business in the future!
All it takes is one bad experience with a dealer (and lets admit it: its never just one) and a follow-up appointment with Hontechs Dave & Sue, and you will find that mechanic/home/trusted friend & advice-giver you always wanted.I have an old Honda. Beat up but still running well, and thats because of Dave. Stuff happens. I call on the fly with an issue, right before a holiday, hope for the best, and Sue sneaks me in under the wire (cant always happen, folks, but when it does, you spell it L-O-Y-A-L-T-Y)They know what theyre doing and so do the folks that work for them. If you want to know whats going on, Dave will explain. If you just want it fixed, his wife Sue—right-hand gal/knows-nearly-as-much-as-he-does—will help you out. Its a family. And now youre part of it too.
Fantastic service at a great price and friendly, attentive staff. Highly recommend Hontech!
So thankful to have an auto repair and maintenance shop we can trust. Owners Dave and Susie are honest and their entire staff is professional and friendly. We will never take our Honda anywhere else. To drive a well-maintained vehicle with Hontech behind you = peace of mind. Thank you!!
I love Hontec! They are friendly, professional, trustworthy, and well-priced. I definitely recommend them.
Hontech came recommended to me when a vehicle being used by a family member in San Diego recently needed repair. Dave and his crew were easy to communicate with, instilled confidence in their knowledge and made it one of the more convenient and transparent experiences Ive ever had with an automotive mechanic. We will be back for our next service needs and I would confidently recommend their shop.
I am new to the area and the Acura dealership is totally different than the one I had in Virginia. I was desperately looking for a new garage for my car and HonTech was recommended to me. The owner Mr. Dave was very nice, welcoming and professional. They took their time with my car and wouldn’t sell me anything just to make a sale. That alone is a great feeling. Safe to say I found my car a new mechanical home
The staff is always so friendly, prompt and efficient. I bring my cars here and will continue bringing them! Thanks Dave!
The service is awesome, Susie was very helpful, I dropped my car off she returned my call for an update and said if she was able to do it she will let me know, she made me feel comfortable called me back and said my car will be ready by the close of day, I recommend their services if you are looking for a good auto repair service
Outstanding repair shop, Dave and his staff are true professionals and cost a lot less than the dealerships.
Owner Dave has been outstanding literally for decades-my first repair there was in the 80s. I have had 3 different cars serviced at Hontech over the years.Dave knows cars inside and out. Every repair there was done successfully the FIRST time. And Daves recommendations for preventative maintenance have given me very reliable transportation over the years.Prices for work at Hontech are less than dealer service prices. Daves prices are very fair, especially given the dealer-level quality of work provided. Actually Hontech is better than the dealer-service is more personableI highly recommend Hontech!
Good people who I feel I can trust. Very comfortable atmosphere. Kind to my dogs! Great work. I am confident in taking my Prius on a road trip. Thanks!
Let me first start off by saying that I called 6 automotive repair shops to get a quote for my car’s alternator and they were the most friendly shop that I spoke with.I gave them my info for a quote, and within 20 minutes, the owner Dave personally called me to chat. He let me know his quote included a factory brand new alternator, and that he could get me in ASAP for the replacement. Every shop I spoke with didn’t offer genuine Honda parts, and some were too busy to even let me know when I could come in. To top it off, their quote was $477 cheaper than the quote I got from my dealership.I left my car with them overnight, and the next morning the owner called me again to tell me it wasn’t the alternator, but the battery - and that I probably had it under warranty, so he didn’t want to take my money until I spoke with my car dealership’s mechanic. They went above and beyond to make sure I didn’t have to spend any extra money out of pocket, and wouldn’t even take a $20 tip I offered! These guys are seriously first class. To top it off, my dealership covered my battery replacement, so I spent money on the diagnostic test they ran.Another thing - his lead mechanic has been there 33 years. That’s an amazing testament at just how well the owner treats people.I highly recommend these guys, especially since they use genuine parts and have so much experience!Hontech just earned a lifetime customer.
Dave is always so kind and they never make you feel like they are doing work that doesn’t need to be done.
The team is friendly and helpful. I love supporting a local shop.
Im a single woman and I needed to find a mechanic for my 2008 Honda Accord. From the minute I met Dave and his team, Ive never had a problem with my Honda. I take my car in once a year for major service, he goes through my car from bumper to bumper, and he tells me what needs immediate service, we talk about future repairs and preventative maintenance. Its very rare that I have unexpected car repairs because Hontech has already anticipated the problem.I highly recommend Hontech and their team.
Very efficient and communicative with updates, questions and readiness-great business!
Dave & Susie made a customer for life. I stumbled in because my used, new to me car needed some love.Very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable and fair.
It was a great experience. Honest and very knowledgeable and friendly. I will recommend it to everyone.
They did a great job. Shop is clean and neat and owners are friendly and knowledgeable. I will use them again.
Great Customer service and Honest people! WHICH YOU JUST DONT FIND ANYMORE!!!!!
This is probably the best shop I have ever been to! And I have been to many many shops all over the country, and beyond... And especially as a woman, it is very hard to trust mechanics. I have even learned how to do a lot of things myself due to the corruption out there...Then theres Dave! He explained absolutely everything. He goes over options, hell even show you parts. And the prices are very decent! And their work just looks beautiful when theyre done. I am getting more MPG since I found this great shop! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my baby :)
Very professional and family feel as well. They care for your car as well as your safety.U been coming to them for over 30 plus years. When they moved the shop from a small garage place to a bigger then the current place.I respect them they repect my car and me.This is the greatest place to take your car in and I trust them.Thank you.
Just took my Honda in to HonTech for the first time yesterday. It was my first time getting my car serviced not at a dealership, and it was such a good experience. Dave and his staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to speak with. Within a couple hours of dropping it off for a major check up, I got a comprehensive text message with all the recommended work and pricing, as well as “upcoming work” to think about. I’ve never had this experience where I did not feel pressured and sold into the work needing to be done. I was able to do my research and get back to Dave with what I wanted done, and they had everything ready when they said they would and even gave me a loaner car for the day nearly for free. When I came back to get the car, Dave took his time to explain everything and asked me to obtain the full history of my car maintenance so he could make better recommendations. It was a great experience and I will not be taking my car into a dealership again. HonTech has a lifetime customer in me.
First time customer with Hontech. Highly recommended by a friend. My 2009 Honda needed the Service B oil change. Rotated tires, checked break lining, tested battery, wheel alignment, power steering pump. I know this due to the very detailed notes indicated on invoice. Then clearly noted recommendations for future upkeep based on work performed or not, previously. Very appreciative of the notations and suggested priority. Very appreciative of friends recommendation. Plan on using them in the future.In this day of the coronavirus, I was very appreciative of the clean facility and their practice of masks and social distancing.If you are looking for a trustworthy place to have your vehicle serviced, I highly recommend Hontech Automotive, Inc.
Honest evaluation of my cars condition. Just bought a new car and will gladly use them to keep my car running in peak condition
Always friendly, professional, honest, and prompt. I will never go to anyone else!
The Hontech people are absolutely the best car shop folks around. They’re always nice, courteous and professional. They give me honest advice about my car and are always transparent. Highly recommend to anyone!
HonTech’s personnel and services offered are the BEST!!!I would recommend and do to all my friends!
Excellent experience from start to finish.
I have been going here since I first got my car amazing people, business & just quality of service. They never fail to keep you informed on the most important services your car needs and always gives the exact rates!! My parents have been going here for years and we will never go anywhere else. Love hontech
Excellent and reliable service.
They are the best. They work on all our family cars.
This is one of those places that just treats you well right from the start.I recently purchased a new to me cargo van. Took it to Hontech to get it checked out and create a plan to keep it going for years to come.From the moment you walk in the feeling is much different than your typical auto repair facility. I never felt like I was being sold. They create a plan of repairs based on need. Its wonderful to be able to budget repairs and maintenance.They have a lifetime customer in me.
Very bad service. I dont recommend them at all. Here Im talking about a bad experience that happened a few months ago, not this month or today.
Dave was very friendly, knowledgeable and very detailed in explaining what he thgijjt might be the issue I was having, was right on point and gave a great detail of the process ahead.Come to find out dave is actually the owner of hontech, which to me says alot about the importance of not only his shop but his customers equally . Kept me up on the progress through text message, which also says alot.If you have a honda or toyota that needs work, give dave a call he will give you a detailed discription of what might be wrong, how long it might take and keep you updated during the time your vehicle is in his care. Dave will make you feel assured youre not gonna get ripped off like most shops usually will .If your a north park native or even a new comer to the neighborhood, cant go wrong or too far for quality work.
The perfect mix of dealership quality with small shop attention and price. Customer care and professionalism is top notch.They will also call, email or text you the full details of your service which was super convenient. Quick and easy!
This shop is incredible, there’s nothing like this place anywhere on the west coast. I will always bring my cars here!
Amazing, honest crew. Very professional, organized shop. They provide fair prices and are very considerate. Im very happy to find a Honda specialist I can stick with for a long time.
Always a great experience at Hontech! Everyone is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They take great care of my Honda Civic and treat us like family. I won’t go anywhere else!
My Honda Civic appeared to be leaking something, so I took her in and it turned out the oil plug had come loose. Very simple fix and they were incredibly nice about it, and the price was fantastic. I will definitely be back.
Fast. professional and courteous
The owners and staff here are wonderfully attentive, explain things to the level of detail that you want them to, and are ethical and professional. It’s good to have confidence in a business that works so hard for their customers.
Hontech is an incredible repair shop. Honest and well run. My whole family and all our friends in the San Diego area go to them. I live in Los Angeles and bring my truck to them for service when I can - because I know it will be done right. They are thorough and pleasant. Cant say enough good stuff about them!
Very friendly and professional. You can tell they really know Honda tech. I definitely recommend them!
I had a small problem with my Scion xD which I could not pinpoint. They were able to locate it in half a day. My time is important and they understood that. Dave and Sue were amazing in explaining the pricing and their process. If I ever have an issue they will be the only place I will take my XADDOW to. Thank you for a great initial visit. GO NAVY!!
Dave & Joey are THE MOST genuinely helpful and trustworthy guys I’ve ever handed my car to. I recently moved away from my dad, and trusted their kindness and advice from the first phone call! Thank you for making a dependent 26 year old feel like an independent big girl! 💪🏼
Ive always avoided auto dealerships when it comes to car repairs and I had a great repair shop in Atlanta but when I moved to San Diego I was afraid I would have to go down the dealership repair route for my 2013 Honda Civic. Imagine my pleasure when I found Hontech Automotive in my neighborhood. From the car drop off, to the estimation of costs to the actual work and pickup the entire process was easy, straightforward and fairly priced. I highly recommend these guys and Im happy to have found them.
I love Hontech. They do better work than the dealer and they are right in the neighborhood.
The Hontech team is fantastic! Dave and Susan are always courteous, competent, and fair. I scheduled a wheel alignment in conjunction with my Prius’ last oil change, and after checking the alignment they saw that it did not require adjustment, so they did not perform it nor charge me for it. They could have gone ahead and done the unnecessary alignment, or simply not done it and still charged me for it — as I believe some of their competitors might have done. HONTECH = INTEGRITY. If you own a Japanese import and do not go to Hontech for all of your servicing needs, then you are making a mistake. THEY ARE THE BEST!
Hontech employees were so helpful and gave me several options for my ailing Prius. They had it running in one day, even with having to order a part. Great people to work with and absolutely no pressure to do additional work.
Great place for auto service/repair. Honest and trustworthy.
Great experience ! friendly & honest service !
Hontech has taken such good care of my automotive needs. They’re stand up people with a wonderful company. Thanks for everything guys!
Amazing, quick and professional. Second time there and I highly recommend taking your car to this shop.. Definitely, coming back.
Great value and professional all around. Everyone I interacted with was courteous and very knowledgeable.
Best car shop I have ever been to! They Don’t try and sell you stuff you don’t need or anything like that. Will go back anytime I need my car worked on.
The team at Hontech has treated me extremely well from day one and have certainly earned a lifetime customer. Im very grateful to everyone there for taking care of me and my family for 5 years now!
Did a great job on my Scion xB with routine maintenance in the very professional way explain things clearly went beyond the Call of Duty in dropping me off at home and dropping my car at my house because I had to work and also communicated very clearly about what didnt need to be done and what did need to be done another place might have just done a brake job even though I didnt need one so that was also great thanks very much
They did a great job. Kept me informed. Worked with my budget. I had an annoying noise they hunted down and eliminated. That really made me happy.
When I left the car lot and drove my car, it felt like I was driving a brand new car! Smooth ride and humming along! The price was very reasonable for the work done. The staff is very professional. I didnt have to wait at all when I went to the counter to pick my car up. I got waited on right away and there must have been 3 more people just checking to make sure I was being helped. That made me feel very special. Later in the day after I got home, I was reading NextDoor, the online neighborhood blog. Someone ask for a Honda repair referral. Guess whos name came up over and over.......Hontec! Weve been taking our Hondas and Acura there for years. This time I brought my Lexus in. Perfect service! Im a happy customer!
I have been using Hontech for car service for years. They are friendly, always helpful, and get things done in a professional manner.
Dave and his team know Hondas inside and out. I’ve been going to him for almost 10 years and they’ve always been up front with me about what’s wrong with my car and if I should get it repaired immediately or if I can save it for later. Their prices are reasonable, especially compared to the dealership.🧐
They are the BEST!!! They let us know what was most important to get done right away and what wr should be looking at next. Recommend to all with their vehicles!!! Thank You HONTECH
Great service and communication, hope Joey gets well soon. Thank you
Great place to get your Honda serviced! I started going there about 6 years ago when on recommendation by my neighbor. Loved them instantly. It is family owned and you can feel it when youre there. Dave and Susie and the staff are so friendly. They remember you and your car and take care of you like no other place Ive been.
Honest in the checking and services. They tell me what is recommended versus what is needed and lastly, what is upcoming in the future. They are transparent about their prices and the compares parts pretty accurately. They give me a call before performing addition services - no surprises. Prices are mentioned first upfront and clearly indicates the services that were performed.Friendly services both from Mike and David.Mike always addresses me by sir even though Im young enough to be their son.The waiting area is spacious, tidy and comfortable. The bathroom is also clean.Advice is to make an appointment and your car will be in and out in no time.Lastly, cafes and restaurants are within a block so you can spend your time working or relaxing while waiting.Overall, the service is good; the location is convenient; the price is reasonable. Im returning to get my Prius serviced.
I have been a customer of Hontech since moving to San Diego from San Francisco. They are simply the best. I had a 1989 Honda Civic SI and 2005 Honda Civic SI. They are thorough, honest and reliable. I know when I get in my car, that everything is going to work as they check all the important things. Tires, pressure, window wipers, fluids and I dont have to tell them what to do. They know. I cannot imagine anyone ever saying anything even remotely negative about Hontech. It is not true. They work on certain cars. Period. I am lucky I own one. I am thinking of buying another and they will check it out for me and give me their best advice. I give them a 20 out of 1-5!
I wouldn’t take my CRV anywhere else... simply the best.
After last service my 19 year old MDX runs like new. The 20 minute drive to get there is worth the effort and they are one of the best auto service places I’ve used in over 70 years of driving.
I will never take my Acura to another place. The people here are so personable and they talk you through the entire process so you make sure you know what youre paying for.
Love the place! We always take both our cars there The people do not up sell you things or services you dont need. They always explain what they did and why. The price is comparable to other shops. Great place.
Great customer service! Very friendly and trustworthy.
I am really happy to have found Hondtech: our 159k miles Prius had a tingling on the valves for years that no mechanic was ever able to fix it. With a special overnight cleaning they fixed and the car is no longer producing this scary sound.Daves team is very experienced and honest and on top of this they offer an exceptional customer care. Strongly recommend it!
If you live in the greater North Park area and youre still getting your Honda serviced at the dealership, stop the madness! Drop off your car at Hontech and its in good hands. Youll get great personal service from the owners and like me youll wonder why you didnt always use them.
We have been using Hontech for 4 or 5 years and are impressed with the Friendly fast service. Great employees who seem to really enjoy there jobs. It can be difficult to find a shop where you feel you can trust them and I have always felt good about bringing my vehicles here.
Hontech did a great job again ! Dave and Sue are the best.
I’ve driven by Hontech a number of times, but was having my service work done by the dealer where I bought the car. That stops now!! Hontech is my new service location from now on!! I had an emergency situation & brought my CRV here. It was an incredibly positive experience....and the price is right!!!
Love this place. Joey will 100% take care of you and your vehicle. Highly recommend!
These guys are the real thing - - honest professionals who genuinely make your life easier. Everyone in this establishment is friendly and efficient. They present you with all your options and walk you through big decisions with dignity and care.
And friendly staff. Already recommended to friends. Thank you
Friendly and thoughtful experts! I have taken my car to Hontech for both regular services and maintenance and Ive always been happy with the results. I dont feel pressured into dubious services (as I have at dealers), and if anything Hontech has tried to save me money wherever possible.After a recent service I had a few follow-up questions that I emailed to Hontech. The next day Dave, the owner, sent me an incredibly detailed and thoughtful response that addressed my questions and gave me a lot of useful background information into the issue my car was experiencing. I was really blown away at the level of customer service I had received.I am really glad that I found Hontech and I prefer them to a dealer shop hands-down. I recommend them without reservation.
Great, detailed service by an organized crew and an attentive staff. Theyre very popular for a good reason!!!
Shops like Hontech are becoming obsolete. You aren’t just taking your car in for service, here, you become friends with the owners and staff.
Family ran and family environment. Exceptional service on my Honda and Lexus vehicles. My cars are almost always parked inside the fencing or building.
Great service
Honesty, friendly, and reasonable prices. You cant ask for much more these days. Ive taken my car in for basic service to more serious airbag issues. Theyve been straight forward and friendly.
My 2012 civic si bent a valve and broke a spring. Dave and his crew had my head removed and fixed. They replaced all the associated parts after installing the head and gave me a very good price for the work they performed. They also provided me with a loaner car during this maintenance period. The turn around time was fast and Im very pleased with their work. Dave gave me minimum 3 time a week updates on what was going on.TL;DR - Great prices, great service, great people and they warranty their work. Couldnt have picked a better place.
These guys over at Hontec are the best. They walk you through the issues, tell you the right, cost effective plan to get your car on track. In my opinion they are better than the dealer. If you have a Honda/Acura/Toyota/Lexus just go there, you wont be disappointed!!
Awesome crew. These guys do a good job and wont rip you off.
The staff is friendly, prices are reasonable.
I trust this shop to provide excellent service. Dave, Sue and all their employees are always helpful. I depend on them for taking good care of both my vehicles, an 84 Honda Prelude and an ‘04 Acura TSX. Highly recommended.
Your slogan should be Dealer service without the Dealer price.I am totally happy with the service and courtesy that I received.Crusty(my Camry) has always run great and I think that even Crusty was happy with the work.So glad that I heard about Hontech Automotive.I will be back!
Dishonest ServiceI called them to ask for a price for service/repair, and the sales representative and/or manager told me that he will call me back in a few minutes to give me an estimate of the price. I waited for him to call me back, but he never called. This is a strong sign of dishonesty and poor customer service. Im so glad that I discovered their dishonesty before taking my car there for service, because the worst could happen. Never go there or recommend this place to anyone. Eventually, they will lose customers and money, but not me.
Dave, Susie and team exhibit honesty and integrity beyond reproach. They provide exemplary service with every interaction...no matter who youre dealing with there. I should know; Ive been a customer for 15 years. Whether its saving me money by advising only essential services or providing feedback on all things automotive related, Dave and Susie provide an incredible peace of mind regarding my vehicles.A few years ago, I brought my 2001 Acura TL in due to a perceived gear slippage at 40+ mph. Dave identified a faulty transmission. He couldve sold me a new one and I wouldnt have known the difference. Instead, he told me exactly what to say and how to say it when calling the dealer. Hontech saved me $4,000 on this issue alone!
Just tried out on pre-purchase inspection. Fast, upfront, communicative, no tricks. Ill be returning.
