“As a college student, mechanics unfortunately tend to be dishonest and try to upsell on a bunch of unnecessary things. Went to the Toyota dealership where I purchased my Rav 4 XLE and prices were extremely inflated. I came in today a few minutes after they opened for a 60,000 mile service which included an oil change and transmission fluid change, Jeff and his team were not only very professional but also very welcoming, straight to the point. My car is running really well, the technician and Jeff himself were very polite when I was asking questions such as how dark the transmission fluid was, what comes next etc. Reasonable pricing given what inflation has unfortunately done to businesses. Very clean and comfortable environment to wait for your vehicle, overall family owned environment, guys who are passionate about their job's & above all else individuals who want to go above and beyond to help others with their car needs. Be sure to call in advance to book an appointment as today was a very rare and lucky occasion for me to come in without one. Thank you Jeff & the technician, as a business management student this hits all of the categories of what solidified, driven and consumer oriented business looks like. I will definitely come back especially since they specialize in Toyota, Lexus and Scion. Thanks guys, second to none experience and service!”

“The service at KB Motorsports is exceptional. I know absolutely nothing about mechanics. As a woman (most men know nothing either) i feel extremely comfortable with the work that has been completed on my new gle350 4 matic suv 2020. I would never trust a dealership service dept. To service my car ever. Vladimir the owner and Tim the manager treat me like family. They are kind knowledgeable and go out of their way to find the best and appropriate parts to always keep the price of service down. I'm so fortunate to have found this shop three years ago. I would not bring my Mercedes anywhere else.”

“One of the best auto shops I've ever been to. Brought my 2014 Subaru in for a potential turbo issue, which ended up being fine. Recommended replacing spark plugs & did a carbon cleaning for me & it was ready the next day. Super friendly atmosphere. They are now my new auto shop!”

“A friend recommended Fix Auto in Oceanside, but I found this shop 4 minutes from my house.Interestingly, there is a Maaco auto shop down the street (Maaco guarantees the lowest price). However, after being greeted by Jose, explaining to him that I'd prefer to not use my insurance, and obtaining a quote pretty close to my price range, I felt comfortable my car would be in good hands. I checked reviews prior to going to any service & this shop's reviews are high.I was well informed during every step of the process. There was a very reasonable delay due to excessive amounts of rain, but I was advised and had no problem with the minimal wait. Since I live so close, Jose arranged transportation for me after drop off & when my car was ready for pick up. Any customer would appreciate those little extras!If I had one critique, it would be that since the paint on my hood, fender & door had to be blended to match, it would've meant the world to me had they painted the 2 speck sized chips on my door edge (visible from the outside).Overall, visually, my car looks great! I haven't had time to examine the repair or drive it far since I got it back, but from what I see, this shop does quality work. I will gladly recommend Fix Auto.”

“Very good service and work. A little disorganized on the customer service side, I suspect their computer can't deal with two people looking at the same service order.”

“I went to Mission Repair today for the first time today after going to the dealer for years. My sister recommended me this shop. I was highly impressed with the service I received and Richard's honesty. Richard and his employee explained to me in detail what my car need it. I'm staying away from the dealership from now on and taking my car to Mission Auto Repair from now on. Thank you Richard and staff!”

“They tried, for two days, but ultimately they could not determine the root cause of my transmission problem. They did speculate about a particular part however the cost was exuberant. All in all they did what they could!”

“Amazing place, went there based off reviews and recommendations when I bought a 2000 Cherokee XJ with some known serious issues. He gave me a thorough and detailed list of issues and what needs to be fixed and did not at any time hold back or d*** it down because I was a young woman (let's say I have had many issues with this in the past). Extremely respectable, honest and would 100% recommend.”

“My last mechanic passed away in 2019 and it's been very difficult finding someone else to work on my 1967 Cadillac convertible. I finally found the right place and it's Jim at R&D Automotive. The motor for the top stopped working and I've been calling around trying to find someone who was even willing to look at it. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I called at least a dozen different shops until I found R&D and spoke to Jim. Jim was very upfront with me and said that he hadn't worked on this before, but was willing to take a look. Jim did what you expect a good mechanic to do: figure out what's working and not working. And then be able to fix the problem. Unfortunately, the motor for the power top was the problem and needed to be replaced. It wasn't cheap, but the power top works now and I can finally actually wash the car! Jim is what I look for in a mechanic and anyone I do business with. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to those in need.”

“I have a Nissan 1986.5 hard body 4x4 pickup. The guys at Coastal Car Care in San Marcos have been a godsend! They were able to get my truck smogged last year by working their magic. In the time since then they have kept me on the road and been very courteous and provided top notch service. It's hard to find a quality shop who will work on older vehicles. And on top of that they are family owned! My thanks and gratitude to the team at Coastal Car Care!Services: General repairs & maintenance”
