I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Trux, especially for women who are looking for a safe place to take their vehicles and feel safe. This is the place to go. Everyone there is absolutely wonderful and they have taken extra time explaining and showing me the answers. These guys are super cool and very thorough. They will take of your car/s the right way. Peace of mind when taking your car in to get serviced is incredible. It is so nice to know my 4Runners are in good hands and they are totally trustworthy when I need my cars worked on. Trux is the place to go!!!!!

I purchased a 2010 Toyota 4 Runner 4 years ago and brought to SD Trux to do an inspection to make sure I didn’t buy a lemon. They provided a detailed inspection sheet with pictures and status of particular portions of the vehicle that were either in good condition, needed repair, or would need service within a specified amount of time/miles. I was beyond impressed with their professionalism and mechanical and technical proficiency. I’ve now been bringing my 4Runner here for every service and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I drive to LA a lot for work and I’m almost at 200,000 miles and my vehicle still runs fantastic thanks to the service provided by everyone at San Diego Trux. Thank you.

Honesty, integrity, and pride!!! Darell and his team are quality technicians and will give you HONEST feedback. They stand behind their work. They have my highest recommendation!Update: Took my car for routine maintenance, Engine and inverter coolant flush and transmission fluid flush. In and out the same day, great price and once again quality work. Only car repair/service shop I trust.Update: Took my car in for ABS actuator install. I didn't hesitate to call Darell. This is difficulty job and I didn't trust anyone else to do it. Darrel and his team crushed it in a day!!!! Car runs and feels great!Seriously, if youre looking for an honest, high quality, and fair price, this is the place.

Been a customer for over 10 years! These guys are honest, capable and always have your best interest in mind. Darrell and team will take the time to explain your options, give advice and ensure you're taken care of. Worth buying Lexus/Toyota just to take it to these guys.

I recently had the pleasure of taking my Lexus UX to San Diego Trux, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Darrel's friendly and professional service. The team at San Diego Trux is incredibly personal, making you feel like a valued customer rather than just another appointment.What stood out to me the most was their reasonable pricing. Car repairs and maintenance can often be costly, but San Diego Trux offers competitive rates without compromising on quality. I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable their services were, especially given the high level of care and attention they provide.I only wish I had taken my 2019 Lexus UX here sooner. The expertise and dedication of the staff are evident in every aspect of their work. If you're looking for a reliable, reasonably priced, and personal automotive service, I highly recommend San Diego Trux!

Took my 98 4Runner here for some weird road noise no other shop could diagnose and had an amazing experience. This shop diagnosed and fixed my 4Runner. They really take the time to explain what is wrong and what services are recommended moving forward with your vehicle. Will definitely be coming back!

I can't believe I just now heard of these guys. AWESOME service. Can't recommend enough. I see why people have been taking their vehicles to this shop for a long time. They got my 2007 4Runner diagnosed and repaired very efficiently. Kept me updated the whole time including an email of the full inspection report prior to installing parts. They were never pushy about doing extra work as they saw needed, just brought up extra issues they saw and asked me if I wanted to address those areas or not. Very fair prices and I will be going back to them for any future work.

I highly recommend SD Trux for taking care of both maintenance and repair for Toyota vehicles. John and team have kept my 4Runner running incredibly well for several years and I’m now happily over 310,000 miles!

John, Darrell and the crew have been taking excellent care of our family's 4Runners for over 10 years (since moving to San Diego). Our first one was still running at over 300k miles when totalled. They're servicing our newest addition 4Runner since after the free service through the warranty ran out and will continue to be the only people we trust with our service needs.

Bought a used Tacoma that had a squeak under acceleration and some serious road noise. Did their overall $65 inspection. Best $65 I’ve ever spent, they gave me a full report (with pictures) highlighting the issues and severity of each. I usually do all my own work (because nobody else can seem to do the job properly) but am very glad I took the chance on this place, the attention to detail was VERY good. They even caught a brake caliper pin inserted from the wrong direction (no functional problem but different from factory direction)They are very responsive, honest and I never felt pressured to do anything. Per their recommendation I had them do my front wheel bearings and a new driveshaft. Drives like a whole new truck. I asked and they only use Toyota OE parts for their repairs.Truly impressed with the shop and process as a whole. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

Used SD TRUX from 2011-2015 for our Sienna prior to a move to Wisconsin. Having worked in the automotive industry for 10 years, I'd like to think I know a little bit about vehicles, car service, and customer service. SD TRUX exceeded all expectations. Personnel turnover in the automotive industry is extremely high. Associate with someone who has roots and will be there for you time and time again (and save a little cash too). You'll find John personable, honest, and a pleasure to work with. His operation is a blessing for San Diego Toyota & Lexus owners.

John and his staff are awesome, I had two good friends who recommended him and am thankful they did! I have the utmost confidence that when I bring my car to him that he will always be honest with me, give me a fair price, get the service done in a timely manner and treat me like I am a member of his family. A few years ago when my mom passed away, I took in her old car for John to take a look at it to make sure it was in good running condition (we were going to sell it to a family friend) and after spending about 30 minutes checking it out and saying it was in great shape, he would not take any type of payment and made sure I was ok in dealing with my mother's recent passing - needless to say, he got a customer for life.

An honest Toyota and Lexus shop. These can be hard to find. I have taken my car here for the past 8 years or so without any issues, ever.

I have been taking my Lexus to San Diego Trux for many years , they are the best in San Diego, Honest and trustworthy.In fact one of the reasons my wife purchased a Lexus IS 250 so that we could take both of our cars to San Diego Trux!

This is the only Toyota specialist in San Diego that I trust with my '04 4Runner and my wife's '08 Camry. It is an absolute pleasure to deal with John on the phone- he actually understands the specifics of each of the vehicles he deals with, as compared with a service writer who may have no experience with mechanical issues.After absolutely PATHETIC experiences with multiple Toyota dealerships in the region, I needed a trustworthy shop and couldn't be happier. There is no pressure for unnecessary services at SD Trux - any legitimate issues are well described and, in my experience, repaired to factory or better than factory condition using OEM parts.My 4Runner has 175k hard pavement/off-road miles, and I fully expect it to crack 300k with the assistance of John and his team at SD Trux.
