Why San Diego Lexus owners come to us

Looking for a Lexus specialist in San Diego who will treat your car right and give you a straight answer? At Frank Honda & Toyota Auto Repair, Lexus is one of the makes we know best. We are an independent, family-owned shop on El Cajon Boulevard, and our team brings 40+ years of combined Honda and Toyota experience to every Lexus that comes through the door. Because Lexus is Toyota’s luxury line, the same expertise that keeps Toyotas running for the long haul is exactly what your Lexus needs.

A lot of our customers are people who plan to keep their Lexus for many years and would rather not pay dealer prices to do it. Others just want a second opinion from someone who will explain what is actually going on. That is the kind of shop we are. Our goal is to keep your car running safely for the long haul without breaking the bank, not to upsell you on every possible service. When we look at your car, we tell you what needs attention now and what can wait.

We show you the work, too. When we replace a part, we can show you the old one next to the new one, so you can see exactly what you paid for.

  • Scheduled and factory maintenance

Honest, up-front pricing

Every job gets a written quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises. Our labor rate is $150 per hour. Many inspections, like a brake or maintenance check, are free. If your car needs a diagnostic to pin down a problem, that is $150, and we credit it back toward your repair when you have the work done with us. Air conditioning and electrical diagnostics are the exception: those are $150 and the fee is not credited back, because tracing an A/C or electrical fault is the work. A full pre-purchase inspection is $150. Our work is backed by a written warranty; just ask us for the details.

Visit us or bring it by

We welcome walk-ins, and honestly we like them. Early drop-off is available if that fits your schedule better. Whether it is a warning light, a strange noise, or just time for maintenance, we would be happy to get your Lexus healthy again.
