    My car parked in a handicap spot.. like they want me to get a ticket...
    Elijah M.

    TLDR: They killed my battery, didn't want to take responsibility, and then left my car in a handicap spot... I came in for a diagnostic check for a check engine light. They had it for 3 days and didn't find anything wrong. I get the car back and the battery is DEAD, from them leaving the light on. My remote for the car wasn't even working, we couldn't open the door. They had us drive my car around for "15 min so they can test the battery after that." They didn't test the battery anfter and just told me to turn it off and on again, and it didn't start up again.. SO they kept the car to 'charge it' , but now they need to keep it for the weekend.. LOU tried to tell me that 'their technician didn't have a reason to turn the light on cause it was day time , so it wasn't them" I said "you guys had my car for 3 days and admitted it was running fine 3 days in a row, now my car is dead" .. Lou did not want to take accountability.. it made going to work extremely difficult.. ONE WEEK later , they say my car battery and alternator are fine and the battery is charged... *LOU* was Unwilling to make any sort of compromise and I will be speaking with a manager.. oh yeah, and they left my car in a handicap parking after the week of 'repairs' .. STAY AWAY

    I took my Range Rover into Complete Car Care Encinitas because they could look at my car more quickly than the dealership and they were closer to my home. The problem was diagnosed as an engine coolant leak and I paid about $1800 for labor and parts for the replacement of a few different hoses. I was initially very happy with the service. About 2-months later I experienced another engine coolant alarm and returned to Complete Car Care. This time they informed me they were concerned about doing additional work on my engine as they thought the dealership could do a better job and that the leak was some where behind the engine. This was a head scratcher as they supposedly guarantee the work but I followed their instructions nevertheless. Upon taking my car to the dealership a few days later and as I was waiting for my loaner car, the service manager popped off the engine cover and showed me one of hoses repaired by Complete Car Care had popped loose (see picture). These things sometimes happen, but when I mentioned it to Complete Car Care they denied this could have happened due to their work suggesting that someone at the dealership did it which is absolutely ridiculous. If Complete Car Care was not comfortable working on my vehicle to fully resolve the problem they should have said so from the beginning. In this case, I'm not confident that their original work was done adequately.

    Had a transmission rebuilt here about 3 years ago, i owned the van for 8 years at this point,and…read moretrans lasted 160k after the rebuild it never seemed to shift right into second gear, if throttling at a normal speed going up a hill it would shift into second at about 10 mph and the rpms would rise and fall with throttle position, and wouldnt really gain speed, would always have to manually shift it back to first until a higher speed, 20-30. Took videos of rpms and speeds sent to them. They scanned it and no codes. Test drove and they said it was fine. Well. It lasted about 50k And second gear started to shudder pretty bad. It also would shudder in reverse on steep inclines. Not sure if related. I get it. No codes = nothing wrong but then again when it went out last time there was no codes either, and it was barely drivable. I have owned this since new and am pretty aware of how my vehicles operate. Do majority of my own vehicle repairs since dealers and other mechanice seem to use parts cannons and not truly diagnosing. Got a new factory trans installed and now it feels like it used to, same hill starts easy throttle holds first until about 25-30, second is solid. Little to no rpm swings with throttle position except it goes better up hills now. 3 stars only because the trans lasted only 50k, under heavy use, original 160k. But this time i made sure they knew i wanted it to last another 150k and opted for new factory not rebuild. Cost way more this time but i feel it is right now. I do highly recommend them but i am upset it didnt last longer, either due to them or the rebuild shop.

Working with the people at DRIVE Autocare was a great experience from start to finish. I spoke to and worked with 3 different people in the N. Cedros office and all were very friendly, kind, professional and honest. I felt like they actually wanted my business. I dropped the car off, (they drove the car to their Hwy 101 garage), they shuttled me home, Paul called to let me know what needed to be repaired and told me the car would be ready the next day. The next day Paul called, sent a car to pick me up and let me know there is a 2-year warranty on the repairs/work that was done. The pricing is not cheap and it is not expensive; it is reasonable and fair for both parts and labor. In fact, Paul even suggested that I try to ask if the previous place would replace the oil pan gasket under warranty to cut the cost by 50% even though it would mean less money for DRIVE Autocare. This experience was a simple, easy, efficient process. I will be going back to DRIVE Autocare from now on for all my car maintenance and any needed repairs.

    The quoted price for a transmission fluid change was one of the best I received. Two other…read moremechanics I got quoted from were charging close to dealer prices. They had the change done in about 3 hours. I noticed a small leak after taking my vehicle home. I watched it for a day and asked them to check it the next day. They did so no questions asked and did a second check. They stated it was residual and assured me everything was good. They cleaned up any residual and topped me off a second time. No leaks since. I'm satisfied with their work and will likely take another vehicle in for the same work in the future. Didn't realize they also do other repairs here so I may keep them in mind for that as well.

    As someone who used to be a fan, it is sad to see the fall of Rome. Especially with as many people…read moreas I had personally and digitally pointed to this place.. I can no longer. Why the two stars because what they did for my other cars transmission was great, They went above and beyond. They actually saved our cars's life as it were. Unfortunately, there is no way I would tell anyone to go there outside of transmission issues. Specifically, if your transmission is still under warranty from the dealership for the manufacturer yes bring it here. There previous work was so stellar that I'm still shocked but as true will all. All good things come to an end. Time , greed, no longer looking out for your people and Just like Rome, this place has fallen.. If you're on the fence, keep looking around you will a place. If you have been bringing your car back over and over again it is time to cut bait.
