BMW Serviced
Customer Service !! My experience with Ray Frey has been exceptional every time I need my problem child (2013 BMW 740i) serviced - from reception to the actual mechanic working on my vehicle to the call(S) that the owner Ray makes himself .. always keep me coming back. Definitely someone you can trust.

Honest & Trustworthy
So this is not the least expensive place to go, BUT an honest mechanic is worth a bit more. Sadly, my baby could not be repaired because she's just old. Ray told me not to waste more money "putting lipstick on a pig." As hard as it was to hear that, I get it. He could have taken $2k from me, because I love my car, but he really convinced me it was a bad decision.

Sorry about having to part with your "old" car. We do tell it like it is and don't want you wasting your money. We look forward to seeing what you decide to buy. We can take a look at the vehicle before you buy and give it a complete check out for around $60.00. We appreciate your trust.

Amazing, reasonable & quick
I have gone to Rey Frey for the last 10 years. It is always the best customer service, and Rey is always in the shop talking to his customers making it feel like home. I once couldn’t afford to pay for the service of my vehicle in one lump sum, and he worked out a situation to where I was able to. It helped more than he knows during that time. I will always take my car here, it’s affordable and they are the best in San Diego!

Fast, efficient, reasonable, friendly, great service by a lovely group of people, who treat you like a friend.
I have been taking my mom’s car or my own, to Ray Frey’s for years and I can’t imagine having to go anywhere else. He and his staff are simply remarkable. I actually look forward to seeing them. I know that I can trust them to say what they mean and mean what they say. They are honest and totally dependable!

Problems solved
I bought in my 1995 Ford F150 for a smog , to have all fluids changed, and to fix a vacuum leak that caused the A/C vents to shift to defroster when accelerating or going up hill. They did the smog check, changed the fluids (apparently the radiator fluid had never been changed) and found and fixed the vacuum leak Very happy

Honest and Competent
We have been coming here for many years. Ray is an honest, knowlegeable owner. Concern to bring to Ray's attn: an employee was talking on the phone on the side of the lobby not wearing his mask. Not safe for other employees who also use the phone.

Ray F. from Ray Frey Auto Center Inc responded on 09/21/2020

Thank you for your loyalty, we appreciate your business. We understand your concern about the mask issue, once in a while especially when talking to elderly customers on the phone we may need to pull down our masks to help them understand us. We also try our best to not share phones. We do clean the shop floors/countertops/phones, etc. 4 times a day to keep the environment as safe as possible for our employees and customers.

Trust Worthy Car Center
We have been going to Ray Frey for years. This time it was my daughters first car and the check engine light went on. We were notified all that need to be taken care of and they made sure to call with updates. They always go above and beyond. This shop is no where near our home however it’s always worth supporting small businesses who take care of their customer.
