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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

Do you work on 1998 Porsche box ? The airbag light is on I bought it that way. Maybe a sensor under the drivers seat band engine light on diagnostic states a simple fix and the convertible top is stuck it's a new top

Hi Katherine, I'm sorry but we don't work on vehicles older than year 2000

Do you work on non-European autos? We're a two car Chevy family new to Vista. We just need the basic maintenance: yearly oil changes, check fluids, tire rotations. Thanks!

I’m sorry but we don’t. There is a good shop nearby called GM Exclusive that we would recommend.

Do you have a night drop key box?

Yes. There is a black box on the wall next to the side door.

How Much do you charge for just an estimate? I have an 2016 Audi Q5 I want to keep my car in good condition but the dealership is ridiculous. Looking to find MY mechanic, she's having some issues, my door won't open from inside or out few other issu

Hello. We would be happy to give you a second option and could definitely save you a lot of money compared to the dealer. We would need to get more details about the other issues and the door. If you could please call us at 760-726-2100 we could… Read more

Do you do pre purchase inspections?

Yes we do.

Do you repair/replace sagging headliner? 2008 VW Passat

I’m sorry but we don’t do upholstery work. We do service, repairs, diagnostic, etc.

Do you do walnut blasting on non-European vehicles?

No, I’m sorry but we do not.

Do you do Rim repairs?

I’m sorry but we do not repair wheels.

Do you do any resonator deletes?

No we do not. I would recommend Richard’s Performance Muffler for that.

My thanks to Jaime for taking the time to place a new wheel cover on my back tire for free. I had…read morejust had 3 new tires installed at another Discount Tire while the 1 tire that did not need replacement (since I replaced it 1 year ago after a flat) somehow found its wheel cover missing after I just drive the car to another appointment. My guess is that in re-airing & re-balancing the tires, perhaps the Discount Tire in Escondido did not put the old wheel cover on the 1 year old wheel back on as tightly as the 3 new tires that just used the same wheel covers from the old one. Anyhow, now I have 3 back up wheel covers from O'Reilly in case anything else mysteriously flies off, and many thanks again to Jaime for the complimentary service even triple checking my new tires and their wheel covers too!

I made an appointmet for a tire rotation for today, 1/10/2026 at 1:15pm…read more I was greeted by Jorge and he checked me in around 1:18pm. I was told car should be out in 45mins, since I had an appointment. That's the usual wait time I got from my previous appointments. I chose to wait for the car. I got the link to the status at 1:23pm. 2:00pm had passed, and I still didn't get a text saying my car is ready for pick-up. My car was still on the lot. Gave it 15 more minutes, and still nothing. That's when I talked to Patrick. I showed him the status of my car, and that it pushed out my drop off window to 3:00pm(image attached). He checked what happened, and he told me somehow my paperwork was not put(or flagged) as an appointment. He said as soon as they're done with one of the vehicles(Tesla), my car would be next. Around 2:25pm, I saw my car on the bay already. Then at 2:40pm, the car was ready for me to pick-up. Now, I'm hoping the correct tire rotation procedure was done, with how quick it was done. I just hope this gets corrected, as luckily, I didn't have anything important to get to after the service.
