    VanLife Roadtrip with our new exhaust pipe on our OLD 2006 Dodge Sprinter!
    L G.

    We bought an old Dodge Sprinter Van and had Juan and the guys do some work on the exhaust and check out the Van before we were to dive it cross-country home. We were far away in Michigan coordinating the work. It felt like we could have been easily talked into unnecessary work and a much bigger bill. The work got done in the timetable we needed. They even let us leave it parked there in the lot until we caught a flight out! Minor miscommunications happened but it was our issue, and these guys are super busy.. so in retrospect, we are thankful for how helpful they were to clarify some details on how to pick up the van on a Sunday when they were closed. Thanks for your great work, your financial honesty and tolerance for all of our special needs that came with this service!

    These guys are great. This is the only place I'll bring my truck for service or repairs. Knowledgeable, friendly, and fair.

    Edit: The manager made right for curbing the wheel and compensated me for the damage. Thank you for your time My reviews started off amazing, Juan was fantastic with communication, and I enjoyed their service until I realized them messing up, mainly the false finish dates, wasn't a once or twice thing.... One of their employees curbed my rim and didn't tell manager or anyone about it until I called them out on it, they used a napa oil cap (known for messing up 6.0s), kept my truck for WEEKS passed due (not just once, on multiple occasions), found one of their tools hanging out of the bottom of my engine bay, truck came back with a loose wheel(lug nuts not even hand right), how does someone do an alignment when the wheel isn't even attached to the hub? do I need to say more? if you wanna get over booked, go ahead and go here

    Bought a 1997 F150 Lariet a couple years back and CSC was the first place I brought it. As mentioned by the other reviewers - Juan is awesome. Both in customer service and communications. That being said the actual work is the issue. The amount of re-work and botched work is why I am giving this review today. Originally had the distributor looked at the the work involved there was pretty significant, however after the "complete overhaul" it continued to misfire. Why the plugs and wires were not replaced. Originally I was going to be charged for this "fix" however had to work with Juan to show that this actually was part of the original repair and was not charged. The final straw was today. In addition to the work around the distributor, I had the power window switch, power seat switch and shocks replaced. The window continued to have glitches. Because this is a work truck I just overlooked it as I could not be fussed to bring it back once again. So why this review today? Today I brought my Truck to another shop for brake work in Escondido as was asked if "I forgot to put the left front shock mounting bolt in. Because it was missing or fell off". Whether it was not put on right or not put on at all, this is a huge safety issue, and these shocks were not touch since CSC did the "repair". Because of all of these events leading to finding this information out, -- enough is enough and giving this review, as this become and issue of safety not just a miss around attention to detail.

After a lot of Yelp research, I found Escondido Auto Tech. I brought my vehicles for a smog and got great service each time. Found them easy to work with too. Next, I brought in my car for maintenance and a list of repairs and items to check on. Let me not bore with the mundane details, just know: -they took good care of the car, addressing every item on my list. -Frank, the service manager, took the time to discuss the list of repairs with me and explained what they would do-to make sure we were on the same page with everything. He listens! In fact, when he received the list (which I'd emailed ahead of time) he immediately spotted a safety issue and reached out to me to get it addressed promptly. -they finished the work AHEAD of the promised completion time -took the trouble to score parts at a lower price than quoted (and passed on the savings!) -provided a detailed completed work order with information I about my vehicle that I found valuable. Like I said, call me a fan!

    Escondido German Auto - The EGA Team looks forward to providing you with our 5 star service. We are your dealer replacement.

    I would rate Escondido German Auto more than (5) stars!!!!…read more I've been taking my car to the same Porsche dealership, where I bought it, for all of its maintenance services in the past 10 years. I knew I was paying more because I thought I was getting the best service and care for my car. I was wrong. A couple of weeks ago, my Boxster needed a clutch/flywheel replacement so I had it towed to the Porsche dealership for repair. (The clutch would not engage.) Porsche quoted me a ridiculous amount; 60% more than what they initially quoted me a few months prior when my transmission was just beginning to act up. I stopped by Escondido German Auto for a second opinion. (I've read about their excellent reviews on Yelp.) Austin, the service advisor, provided me his best guess of the possible issues, without seeing my car, based on what I described to him about my car's behavior. He sounded credible and was very professional, and he also gave me a more reasonable estimated quote. I was also very impressed by their clean, open service bays. I took a chance and had my car towed from the Porsche dealership to Escondido German Auto. Escondido German Auto did a thorough inspection and a detailed breakdown of the proposed work on my car; way better job than the Porsche dealership ever did. They also discovered a rodent nest and damage to the wiring harness of my car that the Porsche dealership missed. Brandon, the technician, did an outstanding job repairing my clutch/flywheel, documenting (including photos) the rodent issues for my car insurance claim, and cleaning and fixing the rodent damage. Austin, on the other hand, updated me daily regarding the work progress. He was always accessible via email, text, and phone. The job was completed in a timely manner; within a few days of bringing my car in. They even cleaned my car prior to returning it to me. Additionally, they emailed me a copy of my CARFAX report a few days later; unexpectedly. (That was the first time I've seen a CARFAX report of my car.) Overall, I am 100% satisfied with my experience with Escondido German Auto! Customer service, quality of work, professionalism, trustworthiness, and price are unmatched!! They've definitely earned my business and I will no longer be taking my car to the Porsche dealership. My Boxster now runs, sounds, and feels like a new car again, and I can't help but grin each time I get behind the wheel; thanks to Austin and Brandon! They were awesome! My wife will also start bringing her BMW X5 to them instead of the BMW dealership for service.
