Services
Keep your vehicle running longer and stronger by keeping its transmission unit in top shape. The importance of the transmission is paramount to the longevity and condition of the vehicle. The transmission is made up of hundreds of parts and components, and the overall health and condition of the transmission depends on the wear and tear, as well as the care and maintenance on the unit.
As a trustworthy, full-service auto shop, Miramar Transmission is here to take care of your car. We give the utmost care to each car. Our expert technicians employ the latest technology in order to diagnose, repair, replace, or fix up your vehicle. Our San Diego auto repair services help get you back on the road quickly and safely, finding the problem the first time and providing you with reliable services.
Your car's brakes are an important part that needs constant attention. There is a thin line between brakes that may need replacing and a failed break. Help keep the road safe by making sure to maintain quickly functioning brakes. Come in to Miramar Transmission to have your brakes inspected or call (858) 549-3777 to have your questions answered and to schedule an appointment.
If your car strays off the road, you may dealing with alignment issues. These issues may be troublesome over time because they can wear out your tires quickly and because it is generally unsafe to drive with alignment issues. Uncorrected alignment issues can lead to costly tire replacements and suspension repairs so an alignment check should be scheduled about every 6,000 miles.
If you are in need of an oil change, we can help you in maintaining your car to be in good working order. The oil in your car lubricates the engine and it functions to keep all of your car's parts running smoothly. Once the oil gets dirty, thick, and sludgy over a period of time, this oil becomes a hindrance to your vehicle.

Brought in a 2015 Kia as it was running very poorly with an intermittent check engine light and what felt like the transmission slipping. They said it was just the catalytic converter and did great in finding the best value converter available instead of a high priced Kia unit. Did not try selling me on any unnecessary transmission or other repair. All this during the difficult holiday season. Highly recommended.

We brought our 2002 Mustang in for clutch repair. They notified us of other things they found with the car that needed immediate attention and cleared everything through us first before proceeding. After all was said and done, the car drove like new again. You couldn't beat the costs of parts and labor there. The service was phenomenal where we felt like we were treated like family. Highly, highly recommend this place. Thank you Miramar Transmission!

These guys have saved me money. One of my vehicles that they serviced lived for over 330K miles. Note - they do more than transmissions.

Very disappointed with the quality of their work. I will never recommend this shop/ mechanics to anybody, and the way they abuse your vehicle during the road test, I'm so disappointed. I had to pay more money to a different shop/ mechanics, to fix it and get me back on the road.

Miramar Transmission earned my trust when they corrected some terrible work from a different mechanic, and has continued to provide exceptional work ever since. They're the only shop I take my truck to, and I highly recommend them.

They did a great job rebuilding my 94 Silverado transmission as well as working on my spongy brakes. They stayed true to their intial quote. Very professional and worked with me along the way. Only issue was some dirt and grime on the floor mats.

I had my jeep towed there because I thought it was broke. About an hour later the front desk called me and said "good news it's not broken just a line popped off". I said OK cool how much for the diagnostic or to put the line back on? They said "no charge"! This kind of honesty and service is hard to find from mechanics in Southern California. I later had my rear main seal fixed by them. Long story short, excellent fix, amazing prices, and outstanding customer service. I was quite impressed and will surely use them again.

Took me awhile to find a shop that would tackle a loud noise upon acceleration in my 2002 Subaru Outback. Miramar was recommended by Mike (owner) at Wolf Motors. The diagnosis was meticulous and, from what I can tell, accurate. The repairs needed were pricey (approximately 3k) but the car has only 65,000 original miles and so was worth the investment. Communication could have been a bit better, but that's a minor issue compared to the quality of the repair. Transmission is now quiet, the car drives "tighter," and the gas mileage has even improved. Would not hesitate to return to

I have absolutely nothing positive to say about this super shady business. I took my car in as my automatic transmission was clunking when putting into gear and also hesitating on gear change. It's was under warranty so I got these clowns and they said they'd "take a look" and provide a "free estimate". Next thing I know they said they took the transmission apart and there was "major" issues and I needed a new or reconditioned replacement, right away! They hit me with a huge estimate so I said I'd have to think about it as I was broke. This is where

THE BEST!
After Synfast oil change in Point Loma (on Gaines St) put the wrong fluid in my car and burned up the transmission, Frank and his guys did a fantastic job of repairing/rebuilding it. They were very professional and the work is perfect. I will go to them for ALL my mechanic needs from now on.

I went to Miramar Transmission back in June for a simple Transmission Service. They found a small leak and repaired it with a transmission kit, I just to pay for the part, free install. Not only was the service great, but Frank had the best pricing as well. Dropped my car off around 8am and it was ready by noon! Now that's dope!

So the other day I noticed some transmission oil in my driveway and feared the worst. I called Frank thus morning and he said bring it by so they can check it out. Called a few hours later and Frank told me they had to re-torque the transmission pan. He also informed

700th review - too bad I wish the circumstances were better on why this is my 700th review, though...

So, after 5 years of owning my 2007 Mazda 3 (got her used in 2009), and driving her up to L.A. County and back the last couple of years, the dreaded check engine and transmission lights came on over Labor Day weekend. After going on Yelp and looking for transmission specialists in the area, Miramar Transmission stood out.

Yes, they're expensive (then again, a transmission repair, even used, is expensive; after everything was said and done, I paid $2475), but their work and professionalism
