Excellent auto repair shop. The staff was friendly and took the time to explain what needed to be fixed. The work was completed quickly and with great quality. read more

My son is down there for college and he found this shop for his car and this auto shop was very honest and nice. It was a simple fix and only charged the diagnostic. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you for being honest mechanic to my son! :) read more

Very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and most importantly fair and honest. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Wouldn't provide a quote by phone, even after I explained the issue, they said the car had to be brought in before giving any numbers.

Best customer service, Great availability, and pricing. Fast services. Clean and nice waiting area. My runs and sound great. I'm happy I took my Mercedes here. read more

I've been going to Chris since the dealership left a bad taste in my mouth, he's honest, up front and stands by his word! I've had to go back to the dealership since for something strange my vehicle was doing and went back to Chris for the actual work. I trust that he and his team will keep my car at tip top shape! Chris, Carol and the team there will take the best care of you and your vehicle(s)! I'm looking for a new vehicle soon and I'm looking for something that will still fit the brands they work on because I don't want to give another shop my business! Pricing is very fair for the brands and I work in the industry so I am very aware of costs etc You won't be disappointed! read more

European Autoworks - Auto Repair Near Me - Vista, California

B1 Service came up on my 2017 Mercedes GL-450. I had gotten my A service here, which was a great price (no air filter) at $130. B1 service came out to $615. This included an oil change, brake fluid flush and new air filter. I'm not sure how much cheaper this is from the Mercedes dealership but I'll assume they are much higher. Staff was great. No loaner cars - maybe the only drawback to not using a dealership but I live close so no biggie. read more

After wasting my time at a few other shops in the past I've found a new home for my vehicle maintenance and repair. Smart thoroughmechanics and professionals up front is hard to find these days. You get what you pay for. I've got no reason to go anywhere else to keep my vehicles running right. read more

Did not want to offer any quote over the phone unless the car was driven there even after they were told what the car needed.

These guys are awesome, first time I've ever used them and I love everything about them They went above and beyond my expectations and I will always be using them Highly recommend them read more

Chris and the team looked after me at short notice, diagnosing and fixing my stressful CEL!! Now all ready for the weekend!! Great customer service and location couldn't have been more convenient! read more

Very reasonable for what services are agreed upon. No hidden charges . I recommend this business.

I came into the office and asked the two people at the front deak if they work on mini's they said "yes they do" I said I have my 2012 cooper s n18 r56 they asked what's going on i told them a small list of little things I'm noticing trying to get a diagnosis on these little issues to do prevenative maintenance. and they told me its going to need a new engine without even taking a look at the car.... I have no check engine lights what so ever I'm not getting loss of power or boost not loosing oil no leaks there's some small noises I'm trying to narrow down. There were other little issues I wanted fixed that weren't engine related. They told me take it to a dealership that it needs a new engine that they saw another mini recently and it was low on oil... not every car is the same or has the same issues. You're company name is European autoworks. Mini is a euro car... Its obvious they didnt want my business. probably because they Dont want to diagnose and fix they only want to replace so you can pay for labor. If you want lazy customer service take your car here. other wise go to b&d auto repair across the street where they will always try to resolve your issues and are willing to always take a look at any Car you bring. read more

I started bringing my Audi SQ5 to European Autoworks a couple of years ago, and have been thoroughly satisfied with everything. Easy to get an appointment, friendly and honest staff. Services completed on time and fair prices. I love taking my car here! read more

Walked in to see if they could work on my daughters 2010 Volkswagen bug. Simple job to just put the passenger door back together and check the speaker that's not working and the receptionist said flat out we can't help you Chris wont let me take that in. if you've already touched your car. wouldn't take the time to look at it after I asked again. I guess business must be booming. If they're turning away work or they don't even have the time to give me five minutes to maybe suggest an alternative. Horrible customer service. It's a pity because I had other work to be done on the Volkswagen as well like a power steering flush, transmission service, a tune up as well. They will not be getting my business or any of my family anytime soon and I just live down the road. you know the saying, take care of a customer get five referrals. Piss one off and they tell 10 or more people their experience. I just dropped off the VW beetle down the road with a garage that took the time to look, listen and take care of me. Cheers read more

Good auto shop. Decent prices and good delivery on services. Everyone here us very friendly and helpful. Recommend if you're looking for auto services near by. read more

Carol was a dream to work with! She has a great sense of humor and was extremely efficient. My car was dropped off for a full service and was ready for pickup before lunch time! read more

I started bringing my 911 Turbo S to Chris a couple years ago when the warranty expired. They have been doing the regular service interval work and bring anything to my attention that is needed. Recently a window switch and A/C blower motor went bad. My dumb a** thought I could watch a couple you-tube videos and do it myself. Boy was I fooling myself. When I called Chris and told him my mistake, he was more than generous to tell me of course he would help me out. I cannot thank them enough. The work is technically proficient, always at a very reasonable cost and I am more than happy to compensate them for their expertise. I picked up my car the same day (which probably would have taken me a week to figure out, get the right tools, find parts, read over and over to makes sure, and on and on.) Learn the lesson I did, take it to European Autoworks, even for the routine stuff, you will be glad you did. Stellar work! read more

I called on Friday with my car making a loud whining noise. It s an older Model clk 350 I have driven for many years. Chris answered the phone very early before opening time.. Chris was great he managed to fit my car in that morning. He ordered parts and had my car ready very quickly. His price was very reasonable and he made it a pleasant experience. I will definitely be returning. read more

What a great find!!! I was super worried about finding a reputable mechanic that had expert knowledge on repairing my 1987 VW Westfalia Camper Van. Ben, Javier & Tanner were very knowledgeable and set my mind at ease. Looks like a very well run shop owned by Ben. And despite Covid staffing setbacks they work their butts off to satisfy their customer, this is clear. Thank you for taking great care of my beloved Westy! read more

These guys did a great job on a tough repair for my AUDI SQ5 and came in under the estimated cost and on the day they said it would be done. What else do you need? They offered a list of work that could / should be done and then worked with me to identify what needs to be done. Once I save up some more I'll take back my car to them for sure and knock out the other items on the list. Good work, honest estimates, met the deadlines, and prompt communication. That's a win for me. Not the cheapest but I've gone the cheap route and it's only led to more expensive repairs in the long run. read more

Ugraded my Mercedes couple years ago and first time back for service at my favorite family owned shop in Oceanside. I had my spark plugs replacement and brake fluid flush for the first time since I bought my Mercedes E350. Their prices are always very reasonable compared to the dealership and Carol can give you a ride if you need to. I have been satisfied customer since 2009. I look forward in seeing you guys on my next visit. Thanks again Chris and Carol for job well done! read more

I thought these were nice guys and I do believe they were honest about what they could do and what the 'right repair' was, but here is my experience for the doit DIY folks out there: BMW 2004 CIC with front right light out. Took it in and for $65 was told the wiring in the assembly looked chewed up and it would cost $2500 for a new assembly installed. Fair enough. Brought it home, had the assembly out in 5 minutes, popped the access cover for the halogen lamp and wires looked pretty bad. Found a youtube video showing a guy with the exact same issue on an E46. Replaced parts of 3 wires and put it back together, works great even turned off the lamp warning dash light. Total time 30 minutes, material cost 0. No doubt had I taken it to a dealer they would have probably wanted to replace the entire assembly also. read more

I went back to have a BG Fuel System Clean to help with minimizing carbon buildup. Though I had just done a full walnut blast carbon clean roughly 40k ago, it was suggested I do this as a preventive maintenance every 25-30k to help prolong ur the life of the car. I noticed a slight bump in fuel efficiency and the car is running like a champ! Thanks again Chris for the outstanding service! read more

I brought my Mercedes in for a service B and a couple other tweaks. Everyone I interacted with was kind and friendly. They were able to resolve my issues and Chris even text a couple days later to ensure I was happy with the service. It's rare to experience a business that cares beyond the initial visit. Fairly priced and kind- definitely recommend. read more

Bring your vehicles and have them worked on by experts. Thank you Chris for the personalized service, congratulations on your staff's performance. read more

Have taken my Grandsons car there two time, professional, knowledgeable and reasonable pricing v/s dealership

Shopped around for pricing to replace my brakes. They were mid range. The office manager was very professional and the office was extremely clean and comfortable! If the garage is this well maintained... my car would get a very professional repair! The repair was exactly as quoted - no were extra's pushed - no up-selling! Refreshing! I highly recommend them. read more

Chris is an amazing mechanic, trustworthy and very reasonable. We take all our European cars to his shop.

Took my Mini here for first time. Service was impressive. Easy online scheduling. Scheduled oil change, additional issue was identified and thankfully they were able to resolve same day! Office was very clean and staff was friendly. Complete on time, reasonable cost no hidden fees. They took time to follow up with me after to insure expectations were met. I will definitely be back. read more

I just picked up my Mercedes from being repaired as scheduled. Work performed was the Oil Level Sensor- Oil Sender, Oil Filter Kit Drain Plug Gasket, Sealant, Degreaser, Synthetic Oil. A total of $701.36. I noticed my car was not the same after arriving back home in Carlsbad. I called European Autoworks Chris, the owner answered. He was defensive and not accepting responsibility for the fact that my car was not running normal after having it repaired by his shop. I told him it was clearly from the work they had just done because the car felt night and day. He literally laughed in my face and said it's a 20yr old car and it's probably my transmission slipping. The temperature gage went between 80 and 120, it has NEVER had this problem before. In all the years I have properly maintained my Mercedes Benz I had never seen the oil gage higher than at the center where it should be or less. The red light came on with an explanation point- another item on my dashboard I had never seen lit. I called back Chris and he pushed back saying it was not his responsibility to fix new problems with my car. I told him I had just picked up my car a few hours ago at his shop after paying $700.00 for an oil level sensor! Clearly these were related! Talk about denial and not taking responsibility!! Lastly I want to say he tried to push me back till NEXT Tuesday before he could "look over" his work. Five entire days! I am a Realtor and count on my car daily. I really had to demand he view it first thing in the morning. In closing I'd like to say everyone deserves a second chance and I am willing to give Chris/European Autoworks a chance to make things fair. However I did not appreciate his cockyness of laughing in my face when discussing my disappointment on the quality of work performed on my car. #iworkhardformymoney #whatsfairisfair #2yrwarranty #respect #viral read more

I recently had extensive work performed on my vehicle by Chris's team. The work, cleanliness and completion time exceeded my expectation. Chris has a very organized process of giving you a quote, scheduling the work and keeping you informed of the process. He and his team patiently explain what needs to be done and the options and costs involved. I never felt rushed or pressured, I will return here for all of my future maintenance needs. read more

Professionable, knowledgeable and pricing is fair. I will continue to take my Macan to them for service.

2nd time I had service done on GLE 350. Chris and his team provide excellent service at a fair price.
