Ryan Mode is everything you want in a mechanic: honest, knowledgable, and personable. I have been bringing my 2002 RSX to him since I moved to SD from LA about 7yrs ago. He has kept it running smoothly and efficiently all this time. He is very good about bringing down the mechanical lingo to the plebian level so that you truly understand what is wrong and how he will go about to fix it. Also, if there is options, he gladly points those out to you as well. If it isn't immediately pressing, he will tell you to hold off and maybe repair it at another time. The RSX was in pretty decent shape when I first brought it in, but he has managed to make it run even smoother and I hardly have to visit unless it's maintence such as oil changes. Im so imcredibly lucky to find an intelligent and honest mechanic -- bring your cars to him, you will not be disappointed! .

Best mechanic I have EVER found. You won't go wrong going to see Ryan. I've been taking my 2010 Ford Escape to Mode for a few months now. He is very honest at telling me what needs to be done; what needs to be done now and what can wait. He also doesn't do things that aren't needed. When does that ever happen? He's great.

New customer and decided to check it out. BMW 650i. Took the time to let me know what needed fixed and the order of importance. Never pressured me to pay for services not needed. I felt comfortable with his diagnosis of my used vehicle and what to expect in the future. Great price on a large BMW oil change and allowed me to use the coupon. Will be back for additional fixes.

Great Service! Great price

Ryan is probably the most honest, trustworthy and professional person that we have ever known to work on our cars. He manages your expectations by letting you know what upcoming services will be needed and the estimated cost. This sure helps to avoid "sticker shock" and allows you to budget. We take our cars in for maintenance service thanks to the reminders that he sends. He is very reasonably priced, too.

The guy who works on your car is the same guy who talks to you about what's wrong with it. Owner and operator/mechanic, Ryan is the man to see for my BMW. Open and honest about what state your vehicle is in and what you should consider wether you want to keep your vehicle 2 more years, or until the wheels fall off. Any apprehension you tend to have when going to have your car worked on will disappear when you meet him. Get what you pay for and more

Seriously, this place is awesome. I had trouble trusting certain auto mechanics or shops. Ryan is hands down professional and truly honest. I definitely will be back for more services. Subaru owners shouldn't be going to any other place but this one. I never had to refill more oil when my vehicle was showing the low oil light and I had another thousand miles to go before an oil change service.

Ryan is the best. Honest, skilled and hardworking. You can't ask for more.

Probably one of the most stand up honest mechs out there. Doesn’t push you to repair this or that. Just gives you a quote and says when ever you want to do this just give me a call. Excited to have found a good mech in a big city.
