I can't recommend European Autocare and One Stop Shop highly enough…read more I was first introduced to European Autocare when AAA towed my Porsche Cayenne there after a strange issue where the audio system kept shutting down and draining the battery. The AAA driver recommended the shop, and I'm so glad he did. George, the owner, is a genuinely kind and honest gentleman. He spent about 20 minutes carefully diagnosing the problem and told me, very transparently, that it wasn't something his shop could fix--that I would need to go to the dealer for a replacement part. He didn't charge me a dime for his time. That level of honesty is rare. Since then, I've been going to him for regular maintenance on my older vehicle, and every experience has been excellent. The team is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Pricing has always been fair--no pressure, no upselling, and absolutely no price gouging. Recently, I needed help with a bumper issue on another car and found out George also runs a body shop in San Marcos. Even though they're normally closed on weekends, he made a special exception to meet me there. When I asked if I could pick up the car at his Rancho Bernardo location after the repair, he didn't hesitate to accommodate. On top of that, my car was extremely low on gas, and he told me not to worry about it--he'd take care of it so I could get back without any issues. That kind of above-and-beyond service truly earns lifelong customers. It's rare to find an auto shop that combines honesty, skill, fairness, and genuine care for customers. George and his team set the standard. I wholeheartedly recommend European Autocare in Rancho Bernardo and One Stop Shop in San Marcos.

Two recent experiences. First a 2017 Mercedes 320E $1,900. 14 Days…read more An Active Light was replaced. The replacement took 10 days. Two weeks. I was disappointed Johnny did not point out the hood was scratched, so I had to go to the owner, George to get that repaired. The repair took a long time for a simple item then the car was damaged. When I complained they were not easy to deal with. Repair #2 Valve Gasket Covers on my 2005 ML500 $780. The job was done in less than a day, but when the car came back it smelled of gas so badly I called European Auto Care back but was advised they would not be able to review the problem for at least a week. The recently repaired valve cover still leaks, my new mechanic found a stripped screw among the at least five (5) loose screws - whilst re-securing the cover. European Auto Care needs to address some important issues.

Katie was so kind and friendly and Juan was so quick and efficient. Can't say enough about this place and I will def be returning the next time I need anything done to my car. Thank you Katie and Juan!

Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Aaron was incredibly friendly and took the time to…read moreclearly explain what was going on with my car, even showing me the issue so I could understand it. Kassandra was also very welcoming and thoughtful, she even recommended a small bakery nearby if I wanted a comfortable place to relax while waiting. As a woman, it can sometimes be difficult to find a mechanic you feel comfortable with and can trust not to take advantage of you. This was absolutely the best place to go,I felt respected, informed, and completely at ease throughout the whole process. Overall, an AMAZING experience. I truly appreciate the great customer service!

Are you going to warranty issues that arise to the switching to an oil that would void a mfg…read morewarranty? I bet not! Higher viscosity leads to higher pressures which lead to seals leaking and failing. I'm really surprised you haven't researched this. How about the leaking oil filter a day after install? Seems like a sure way to get more money outta a customer once their engine gets starved of oil. How about the sloppy work with oil left all over my car? Lack of care and integrity. How about the scratches from resting my tires on the paint of my car? Lazy and inconsiderate. Pulled from the article that copied and pasted "Engine Design Changes: Newer Toyota engines are designed with tighter tolerances and specific lubrication needs that necessitate these thinner oils, such as OW-16 or OW-8." Exactly my 2019 Lexus ux250 is a newer Toyota engine if you weren't aware , so why are changing it?

Highly recommend for road trip prep!…read more This is an amazing place to get your vehicle inspected before a long road trip. I booked online, noted my concerns in the text box, and dropped my car off the next day. After checking in at the office, I walked Joey through my concerns and opted for a Post-Purchase Inspection. Joey sent over the findings quickly and gave me his honest, upfront opinion on what needed immediate attention before my trip versus what maintenance could wait until I reached my destination. He also provided a clear copy of the inspection quotes so there were no surprises. In the end, they completed the full inspection, replaced the car battery, and fixed a coolant leak for around $550+ (including taxes). I definitely recommend this shop! Pro-tip: Try to get there early in the day, as on-site parking and road traffic can get a bit hectic later on.

Bottom Line Upfront: Miramar Auto Repair is one of the best values of any auto shop in San Diego…read more Jason and Pedro were exceptional in taking care of me, and finding a solution to a very technical challenge. I brought in my Honda Ridgeline for an issue with my AC. Jason worked with me at the front-desk and went above and beyond to understand my issue and the troubleshooting I had already done. He explained to me CONCISELY what the feasible issue may be, and how they were going to approach a diagnosis. Jason was extremely knowledgeable, and followed up promptly to discuss the fix. Pedro was also exceptional. He found the issue (rodent-chewed wires) and repaired it perfectly. When I picked up my car, he was as excited as I was to have helped me. Before Miramar Auto, I took my truck to the Honda dealer, and they charged twice as much for a diagnosis, only to tell me that I would need a new compressor (incorrect diagnosis) and that it would cost twice as much as I ended up paying out the door at Miramar auto. I couldn't believe how easy Miramar Auto made it. To say that Jason, Pedro, and Miramar Auto are honest, fair, and made me feel taken care of... would be an understatement. They have rightfully earned another lifelong customer. Thank you Miramar Auto!

Boy, I really wanted to give this place 5 stars due to the energetic front desk lady. Very upbeat…read moreand friendly. I dropped off my car at 9. Asked for two new tires. Got a quote and said it would be ready by 2 or 3pm.... but if it got done sooner id get a call. 3pm comes, I call and to see if it were ready... same front desk person told me, not yet but should be ready by 5pm. So I mentioned, "ok, I'll be there before you close". I got there at 4:45, hoping for the TWO new tires. But no, still not done. Frond desk looks over her shoulder as if the car was in the garage and says to me "its not done yet, almost". At 4:55, I look outside and realized that my car hadn't moved from.when I left it at 9am. I asked her, I dont think my car moved... she then replied, ohh yeah we haven't started it yet. Knowing they were gonna closing in 5 min. I dont know how they would get to it in 5 min. As i asked for my key, she asked "are you sure, we can get it done in 30 min".... hmmmm, I ended up taking the car home still needing two front tires.

We were on our way to Temecula for my son's soccer game when we realized we had a tire issue. Amy came outside immediately to assist us and made us feel taken care of from the moment we arrived. The entire process was fast, professional, and stress-free. I walked down the street to grab a coffee, and by the time I came back, my tire was already finished! Thanks to Amy and Skyler's efficiency and excellent customer service, my son made it to his soccer game in Temecula right on time. Their kindness, urgency, and professionalism turned what could have been a stressful situation into a great experience. Thank you both for going above and beyond. I highly recommend this Firestone location!

After calling several different mechanic shops for quotes, Miramar H&A Mechanic gave me the best…read moredeal by far. I've been going to the same mechanic for the past five years, so I was surprised when they quoted me $840 just to replace a coolant bypass hose. I decided to get a few other opinions, and Miramar H&A Mechanic quoted me $430 for both the coolant bypass hose and an O2 sensor, which was a huge difference. They were honest, straightforward, and never tried to upsell me on repairs I didn't need. They got everything done in about two hours, and the work was completed quickly and professionally. It's hard to find a shop that's transparent, fairly priced, and efficient. I really appreciate their honesty and quality of work. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic that won't overcharge you, I highly recommend Miramar H&A Mechanic. They've definitely earned my business going forward.
