SAN DIEGO, CA's AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP
In 1946, Vince Hoffman had a vision for the kind of auto repair shop he wanted to run. He wanted his auto repair shop to be known as being honest, trustworthy, dependable and provide quality repairs at affordable prices. To Vince, he wanted everyone who came in the shop treated as family rather than just a customer.
Seventy years later, Vince's vision is alive and well. Dualtone Muffler Brake & Alignment in San Diego, CA has been keeping cars on the road safe and sound and is still family owned and operated. Check out our current specials below!

"I couldn't be more satisfied with my trip to Daultone. My Jeep had a bad exhaust leak that was triggering a check engine light. I tried to fix it with a new exhaust clamp, but the pipe needed to be replaced. I called Dualtone in the morning and they told me I could just show up any time and they would put it on the rack and weld it up. They quoted me $75 and 45 minutes, but had it done in half an hour. The exhaust is all sealed up and the welds looked perfect. Thank you Dualtone for being quick, inexpensive, and professional!" - Jacob
"I had a great experience at Dualtone. The staff were knowledgeable, honest, and efficient. They quickly diagnosed the issue with my exhaust system and provided a fair estimate. The repair was completed on time, and my vehicle is running perfectly now. I highly recommend this shop to anyone in need of muffler or exhaust work—excellent service from start to finish!" - Jacob
"I use to go to Dualtone all the time years ago, but then I moved away. I'm back in SD now, and a friend of mine recommended, that I see Justin, who I think is an assistant manager. Justin listened to my needs, made suggestions, then special ordered the parts I needed and my car is running amazing. I trust Dualtone with all my brake work, as well as any muffler upgrades or oil changes etc.... Dualtone is awesome! Thanks again guys! My car is running like the beauty she is." - Brandon
"Two Words: TOP SERVICE!!! We were recommended by a friend and we are so happy we came. Greg is very friendly and offers a wonderful service. They are honest and don’t ever try to push unnecessary service. We will absolutely be back and recommend. That’s how you do good customer service." - Crissy
"Has anyone ever "enjoyed" getting an Alignment on their vehicle? I DID and so will YOU!!
Discount Tire referred me and I can see why!!
These guys are Top Tier!! Amazing pricing, highest quality service, funny, friendly and informative!
From my first call to Angel, to Michael checking me in to Frank and George, to the nicest cashier young lady, her name is escaping me.
Haven't been to such a quality establishment in quite some time. Keep doing what you do there and give everyone a raise
I'll refer everyone here and be back the next time I need service.
There is a waiting area, along with a convenience store steps away and a few restaurants while you wait.
I live in N County and the drive is worth it 100x's over.
Thanks to you all!!" - Rhonda
