Ozzie’s Auto

I recently went to get my car checked at Ozzie’s, since it was not running well. My car had problems that they were not able to fix. Dan told me to go elsewhere to get it fixed. He charged me $ 100 dollars for the diagnostic, and they left the car worse off than it was when I brought it in. I had a hard time getting the car into gear and had to drive it in the 2^nd gear just to drive it home. I have been going here for over 6 years, but this is the last straw. I will not be returning. Steer clear of this place if you value your time and money.

I’ve been coming to Ozzie’s for about 5 years with both my old Jeep Grand Cherokee and now with my Audi A4.
Ken did a great job recently fixing my car trunk. It was stuck closed and the new part (only available from Audi, in Germany!) was going to be $ 600! He did an amazing job using his electric skills. I highly recommend Ozzie’s and specifically Ken!

I had such a good experience here! New to the city, I turned to Unilocal when my *brake pad indicator* light came on. I called around and not many local shops would work on BMWs but here they told me to bring it down for a free inspection. After multiple $ 300-​$ 500 phone quotes from different shops, I was terrified of the impending cost. In the end, it turns out that my sensor was broken and no expensive pad replacement was necessary. They could have easily charged me for something unnecessary but I’m so thankful for their good and wholesome service! Thank you!

I’ve been going to Ozzie’s for years. The very first time I walked in the door, I immediately felt comfortable. I was greeted by a big smile from Patrick who works the front desk. I knew at that point I’d be taken care of. Car problems are really freaking stressful. I’ve brought my cars in for something simple like an oil change, to a no start messed up shaky engine hot mess. They have never failed me. They always have the job done within the quoted dollar amount, and the quoted time frame. I have never been upsold for something I didn’t need. Most places give the car a good once over and try to make more money for stuff that isn’t necessary. Not Ozzies. They have integrity, and will have my business for years to come. This past visit, they even added gas to my car bc it came in on empty! Wow. Who does that? I’m very happy to have someone I can trust, and would recommend them to everyone. :)

Had to come in while traveling (always scary), due to an unsettling noise under my Subaru. In and out in 40 min, everything fixed, only 32.50.
Thanks guys for saving my stress levels.

I bring all 4 of my families car to Ozzie’s. Always good service above and beyond.
Thank you Ozzie’s for being not only good at what you do but honest too!

Ive been working with Dan and Patrick at Ozzies for years now. These guys do a great job and follow through with their word. They are pros at stereo installation, mechanics and tinting. I have used all of these services and each service i give a 5 star from start to finish. Thanks ozzies!

I can’t speak highly enough about these guys.
My first experience with them was when my daughter had a mishap with her car and I brought it in for repair. It would have cost me *thousands* of dollars legitimately. I would have gladly paid them to render the repairs but they suggested she file a claim through her insurance company knowing full well in doing so they wouldn’t get the work. Sure enough, her insurance covered the damages and I saved a ton of money.
After that I started bringing in my vehicles for maintenance. They have always been thorough in their assessment and explained to me in detail what needed to be done immediately and what could be put off for a bit. Also, I find their prices to be very fair.
Last but certainly not least, I had them install the mother-​of-​all sound systems on my street legal golf cart. What can I say. I am in awe. The installation was very stealth in that you don’t see most of it but trust me — you certainly hear that 500 watt amplifier and 12″ sub bumpin. So yeah. If you see a black golf cart in OB shattering windows — that’s me!

I used to love this place, till my wife caught them vastly overcharging her for some work. They handed her the bill and when she balked, the guy started backpedaling. She asked him to pull out the parts book and when he did, he had tried to mark up every single part way beyond what he was supposed to. He acted like it was an accident when it clearly wasn’t. He tried to overcharge by about $ 250 on what should have been a $ 600 bill. Super bummed, actually, because we really used to trust these guys. I’m told that overcharging women is a very common practice with mechanics…

I brought my car to Ozzie’s after deciding to get a bluetooth radio put in my 2003 BMW. I knew that I would have to purchase an after market radio and Dan at Ozzie’s helped me pick out one that was within my budget. When I picked my car up, I thought the radio he installed sounded great but was unhappy with the kit installed to fit the radio and the appearance. Dan immediately told me that he wanted me to be happy and that if I wasn’t to come back and he will exchange it for another radio. I called him the next day and told him I was unhappy and he discussed different radio options and I went back the following week to exchange out the radio. Dan replaced my radio with a NAV system. I had to spend more money but ultimately got what I wanted. I am very happy with my new NAV/​Bluetooth radio system and it looks great in the car and fits the space perfectly. Dan’s customer service is unlike any other place. I highly recommend Ozzie’s!

I took my car to Ozzie’s for a window tint and they did an amazing job! For $ 249 I got the perfect window tint and a lifetime warranty included! But that’s not all. Dan and (I forgot the other gentleman’s name) are IN FACT, total gentlemen. As I was walking in to pay for the tint and drop off my keys, the halter top I was wearing decided to become untied and fall, exposing a breast. Yes, everyone saw. This is what happened next: Dan went and got me a small sewing kit and offered me the employee restroom (WHICH WAS TOTALLY CLEAN!) so I could sew my top. WHO DOES THAT? So nice, so polite, such gentlemen. Unilocal is having a technical difficulty with the rating system so please know I give 5 stars to Ozzie’s.

I have been going to Ozzie’s for years and am always pleased by their work and customer service. I recently got a stereo installed and DJ went above and beyond to help me out and get it fixed after I messed it up a week after installation! I highly recommend Ozzie’s!

When I moved from Phoenix, everyone asked me what I was going to miss the most about the city. In all honesty it was my mechanic: Randy Bayles @ 480−200−6152. I’ve only been in the OB/​Point Loma area a month and have been looking to get my 2002 Jeep (40k miles) back to 100%. I’ve passed Ozzie’s several times and loved the neighborhood feeling. After getting my Jeep serviced this week I am glad that I stopped in. The prices were ¹⁄₃ of the dealership, their work was thorough and accurate, everything was shown to me, options discussed and there were no unnecessary repairs suggested. They listed out all the repairs that were necessary and the onesI could wait on. I ended up doing everything for a fraction of the price and am very pleased with the results. This is my new shop!

One of the best auto shops I have ever worked with. Honest and dependable. They really go out of their way to help. They stayed open and extra hour for me to pick up my car. They have great service!

Wonderful service!!! I had bought a car and needed to put a stereo in it that would work with my smart phone before we drove to Vegas. We were not going to take a bunch of CDs with us and keep switching them out the whole trip. Instead we wanted to listen to Pandora and podcasts. We needed the work done in short notice before we left for our trip. It wasn’t a problem at all. They hooked us up with a great Bluetooth stereo, good price, and got us in and done very quickly. No damage done to the car and we are very happy with the work that was done. We highly recommend this place for all your stereo installation needs.

Always great service and excellent prices! I would never go anywhere else.
I have received service from them for everything. From getting a new headlight, to repairing the whole front end of my car after a collision.
Before I discovered Ozzie’s I would find myself paying loads extra because I drive a VW, never the case with Patrick and his team!
Save yourself time and money, and go to Ozzie!

I recently bought a is 350Z and the sound system was shot. I took it into Ozzie’s and Dan diagnosed the problem right away. I was ready to change the amp but he told me it could be required. Dan quoted me a good price for a complete system with JL speakers, a Pioneer 12″ sub, and a DVD double din head unit. They sound proofed everything with dynamat, no rattling, vibration of the hatch, etc. He also had his mobile dent guy do the door dings and a scratch on the rear quarter. They did great work and even detailed the interior after. I would recommend them to anyone.

These guys are stand up guys who are real straight shooters. Dan and his team have always held true to their word. I bought a keyless entry system from them a couple of years ago. Since I have had it I have had nothing but problems with it. Even though it was a problem with the product and not with the installation they have always fixed or replaced parts free of charge or a very minimal cost. Recently I brought in the car for the same problem with the keyless entry and instead of up selling me or trying to pull some money out of my pocket they simply said they would replace it for a top of the line model. I can’t say enough about these guys. Honesty and a premium level of service go a long way in my book. Thanks for being awesome guys!

Writing an update just to acknowledge the owner’s comment that I haven’t been back… he’s right, and I probably won’t be because I’ve found another mechanic better suited to work on my car (and who took apart, re-​soldered, and reinstalled my wiper switch for less than Ozzie’s diagnostic). But I do appreciate the follow-​up, and as I originally noted my experience seems to be the exception rather than the rule. So I’m bumping them one star and I’d like to retract the «worthless douchewads» part of my previous review… again, I hope your experience with these guys is better than mine was.

Yea, these guys are the bomb. Fast, knowledgeable and real audio pros.
When I bought a new Subaru WRX they were my first stop. 5ch amp, new speakers in all four doors plus a compact sub in the rear, holy crap it rocks!
Initial install brought some problems with it but they took care of it (at no cost) and the end result is awesome and clean. Not just installed but fine tuned.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else and came all the way from Ventura just for their work.

The name Ozzie has yet to let me down. Whether it’s the Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen and his outlandish yet entertaining behavior or Ozzy Osborne’s on stage antics, any person place or thing rockin the title is usually the business.
This place was no exception to the rule. I got an oil change, tires rotated, and a nail taken out of a tire for about $ 60 bucks. I had also been cruising around with a broken mirror for the last couple of months that some d-​bag took out his frustrations on. They specially ordered a replacement and installed. All of this was done in a timely manner and didn’t suck the life out of my dwindling bank account.
They do stereo installations and can even set up an I-​pod hookup so you can rock out to Pandora radio or a Hannah Montana mix in your car if you want. Might have to come back soon and get this for myself for Xmas.
Getting repairs done to your vehicle can definitely be a pain in the butt, (Especially when your fixing senseless acts of vandalism.) but this place makes it as painless as can be.
