5 STARS Felix was great, he certainly earns and deserves all of the 5 star reviews he has received over the years. He was prompt, on schedule, easy to work with, fully transparent with the costs and did excellent high quality work. I am going to use him for all of my backflow inspection (and should they arise) repair needs. THANK YOU!!!! read more

This is my experience with Felix. Judge for yourself if he deserved a rating of 5 or not. Or if deserves a 6 (?) FIRST OF ALL: When I found his existing Yelp page and saw there was ONLY 5-star reviews, I was suspicious. One time I rented an AirBnb and after the rental was over the scam was "I'll give you a discount for a 5-star review". Was this the case with Felix Backflow? ANSWER: not at all. SECOND: My purpose in getting my irrigation backflow device tested is that I had ASSUMED that the device doubled as a pressure reducer. By email, when making my appointment, Felix advised that no, backflow only does backflow prevention. Just now he told me in person "there might be a 10% reduction in pressure as it goes through the passages, but it's not designed to reduce pressure". THIRD: He arrived on time, and on a Saturday afternoon (his preference, I think because he had a nearby appointment earlier anyway). He had previously advised me by email that a backflow test was $65.00 and a rubber kit installation was $230, if repair is needed. FOURTH: He tested my backflow. He said it functioning normally. He answered my questions about irrigation pressure and gave me some reasonable advice. FIFTH: I asked him as he picked up his toolbox and work order clipboard, "how can I pay you? Do you take check?" HIS ANSWER: "Oh, no charge. I was in the area anyway. If you want to, just put your experience online... what is that site? I can never remember..." (It was YELP!) He shook my hand and I said I felt like hugging him! (No hug actually took place). So there you go... THIS WAS UNBELIEVABLE! He made a housecall, tested my backflow, and DID NOT CHARGE me! Of course he'll probably charge you... and I am not sure why he didn't charge me... but he didn't. So now I have my opinion of Felix BackfloW Prevention. With NO negative reviews, and all 5-stars, it's well-deserved. Honest, knowledgeble, kind. read more

Received an "Annual Backflow Assembly Test Report Due" letter in the mail. After confirming this is a real thing and not some scam, I looked at the sandiego.gov list of backflow test providers and crosschecked some company names with Yelp. Felix was the third place that I contacted and the only one who responded. The rate was great and he came out the following week to do whatever a backflow test is and sent the paperwork to the city on my behalf. Fast, easy, painless, cheap, perfect. read more

I received notices from the City of San Diego that a Backflow device had to be installed at a small apartment complex. After reading the previous Yelp Reviews I contacted Felix Garcia who answered the phone (usually you have to leave a message). In less than a week, the job was completed. Mr. Garcia emailed photos of every step of the process. The job was done flawlessly. The work and the process far exceeded my expectations. From now on I Intend to use Felix Garcia's very professional services for the annual Backflow Testing as well. His prices were very fair as well. Sincerely, A satisfied Client read more

I received a notice from the Otay Water District informing me I had to show my backflow equipment was up to standards. I went to Yelp, found Felix and that evening he came to my home and performed the test. Felix was very professional and took the time to explain to me the process. He did not try to sell me on any unnecessary parts or repairs and let me know this test woudld be required again in a year and that he would put a trace on his calendar to remind me. A true professional! read more

I thank Felix Backflow for his speedy response and quick action in getting my annual backlfow testing. He was able to squeeze me in and completed submission to Sweetwater within a day. Thank you, Felix! read more

2nd time using Felix for annual CalAm Water Backflow test. Felix provides not only excellent customer service, but performs test within a few days, handles all paperwork filing electronically to CalAm, including a test copy for your own file, and is priced reasonably. Highly recommend read more

Felix offers excellent and prompt service, very helpful. I highly recommend his services.

I would give 10 stars if I could. Felix is great. Simply great. A couple weeks ago our backflow device had really bad leaking issue. It was Fri around 4pm by the time we noticed it. Me and my husband both got on our phones calling numerous backflow companies but no one could come out the same day till we got in touch with Felix. He was able to come within an hour with all the tools needed. He found the issue and fixed it. He was very knowledgeable and his price was reasonable. After that, I texted Felix a few times with backflow related questions and had no problems getting my answers. I would recommend him to everyone. read more

100% Give this man a call. If there were 10 stars I'd give him that much. Every year the city requires I perform a backflow test and I have used Felix for a few years now and I can't rave enough about him. He's very responsive, has high standards of customer service and customer quality. His prices are very reasonable. And he is a very nice and patient person!!! Strongly recommend for anyone who needs his service, I can guarantee he will not steer you wrong. read more

Felix offered a great price on an annual certification and was able to work with the water district to prevent my water from being shut off! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! This guy really knows his stuff! read more

Felix Backflow is absolutely excellent to work with. We have completed multiple commercial back flow test and repairs with Felix. Typically the requests we have for him are extremely last minute and he always makes us a priority and gets the job done within difficult time constraints. His work is flawless, he has contacts with the Otay Water District which is extremely helpful for our specific situations. He complete rebuilt an old rusted assembly on a building we purchased in record time. He sent us photos of the work along the way and our Commercial Contractor stated that his work was impeccable. He is easy to get a hold of, always pleasant on the phone/email, beyond knowledgable and his price is not just fair, it is LOW for his quality of work. I cannot recommend Felix enough. read more

We put out an RFP with pictures of the exposed pipe area and within an hour we received a very reasonable estimate. Being that this valve is a city requirement, we were pressed to have it installed within a month. We called Felix and asked if he could get it done within a week and he said, "I can be there today or tomorrow." We scheduled for the next day. Felix and Mike arrived within 30 minutes of the designated time. He then explained the low-theft benefits of the valve model that he installs, and how the valve actually works. Meanwhile, Mike set up their equipment. When the install was complete, Felix explained his pipe reinforcement technique which doesn't require concrete of the subterranean 90 degree pipes. There was no mess left behind. The whole job took less than 3 hours and the water was off for only a short time. Felix took pictures and submitted them with the paperwork to the city. Before he even left, the invoice was in our email. Felix and Mike were polite, organized, neat, quiet and quick. GREAT JOB!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

Sorry for the digression but I really don't like that the city makes us do these tests each year. It should really be part of our water taxes which are high enough. Onto Felix... he's fast, reliable, and charges a fair price. What else do you need to know? read more

Received our annual notice from Sweetwater Authority that it was time for our backflow recertification. I like to do business with local folks and found Felix Backflow in Bonita. He answered the phone right away and scheduled us immediately. When he came out he was early, answered all my questions (backflow 101) and was in and out very quickly. I cant say enough about his polite professionalism and by highy recommend him! read more

Felix had finished the job for us in the most professional way, best price, easy communication, highly recommended!!!

Excellent service! Received a notice from the city for back flow valve inspections. Coincidentally, I received a postcard mailer from Felix Back Flow just the prior day so decided to call. I am so happy I called him! His response was prompt, he showed up on time, conducted his tests and emailed me and the city the results and made the process seamless! I would recommend this company to anyone needing back flow services read more

Our local backflow tester said we had failed our backflow and I asked the local backflow to retest it; they refused and the only option they gave us was to repair the backflow device. I then called Felix Backflow for a second opinion. It was amazing. As soon as I posted my yelp for a quote, Mr. Felix Garcia called me back that night right away. Felix and his crew came out on Saturday morning and went through the retest with me, explaining to me that the previous retest was not properly performed and that's why it had failed. He took the time and effort to come all the way from San Diego and we really appreciate his time and effort. Excellent contractor to work with. I would definitely recommend Felix Backflow Prevention to anyone in need of a backflow test. read more

What a wonderful experience! Professional, prompt, reasonable and easy. I will definitely use Felix Backflow again, and recommend them to anyone else that needs backflow service. I was truly impressed and highly recommend them. read more

We found Felix Backflow after using another backflow company for years. Felix Backflow blows the other company out of the water in regards to scheduling & invoice turn around time. Wish we found Felix Backflow sooner. We'll be a customer for life! read more
