Wow, from start to finish this transmission shop was wonderful to deal with!…read more I had noticed my Buick would shudder every now and then and was thinking it was the transmission, so i took it in. They diagnosed it quickly and informed me it was actually the rear differential. They were so nice and showed me the part that was causing all the problems and explained what had been happening. It drives so smooth now and no shudder!! Thank you for fixing my non-transmission related issue, Transmission Pros!

James has been very communicative all along the way, and the shop accommodates my need to leave the car there for an appraisal. Even though I haven't been a paying customer, the way they treated me has been for my own interest all along the way and I really appreciate seeing honest helpful businesses which is rare nowadays!

If I could put more than 5 stars, I would! The guys are…read moresimply the best. They work on your car like it would be their car. They are my dream comes true, exactly the way I was looking to get new mechanics for my car. Did I mention about good price for the job? It was. I got new battery just for price of it; the installation was free!!!

This place is a joke! Hear me out and save yourself quality time, money and the hassle…read more (You will be coming back more than 3x for EACH occasion because of unfinished work, trust me..) This is not the same place it was 2 years ago! I never thought I would have to re-consider my review for this place. Initially, I first came here in 2018 for an alignment on my truck. ONLY reason why I came back and continued to be a returning customer, not because my alignment went out of place (Steering wheel almost in a full left turn steer to be able to drive straight!) as soon as I got on the freeway from this shop after having a 4 wheel alignment done! I called since it was close to closing and Raul offered to check it out for free the next day. Found out, a bolt was loose! Fixed and sent me on my way! FYI, printer has not worked for 2 years or more and they will not show you the before & after. I asked and they sent me a picture through text . Yeah.. not legit. On another note. Zeke was the man and straight forward! No bs, no games, just there to do work! Unfortunately, he's not there no more. He was very transparent with his customers! Anyways, cool I can trust these guys since they fixed it for free Fast forward to 2020, I had 3 cars dropped off ever since 2018 and within those two years, I kid you not, I did 8-10 RETURNED visits! I finally gave up after the new employee and Raul wanted to play stupid with me within these past few weeks! Let me share one of my experiences. First and foremost, these guys don't know what they're doing and are just taking in what they can to give themselves work (especially during COVID-19) and when they do take work, oh man, they take their sweeeeeet time. First and foremost, out of all my 8-10 returned visits to this shop for separate occasions since 2018, alignment, sensor install/programming, unfinished maintenance work, the job was never fully complete! You think this is nothing? Well I am just glad I never had engine builds/costly work down here. I can't event imagine! I am all for supporting small/local businesses, but people running a business thinking they know what they are doing, not being transparent that they really don't have the "know-how's," and not understanding that time is much more valuable than money, the business will definitely forsee a huge reduction in customer retention and customer loyalty. I like to recommend my peers and networks, I am simply just trying to save you the hassle, nonetheless, your time. Future customers, are you thinking about going here? If you are second guessing, your gut is telling you no!!! Take my advice and my full transparency. I am all about giving back, but the guys at this shop are playing the "milk the clock, delay the time, and kick out the customers 20 minutes before shop closes and let the customers know, if the issue returns, just come back tomorrow" game. There is no tomorrow when you can't even figure out today. 100% would not recommend.

We bought an old Dodge Sprinter Van and had Juan and the guys do some work on the exhaust and check…read moreout the Van before we were to dive it cross-country home. We were far away in Michigan coordinating the work. It felt like we could have been easily talked into unnecessary work and a much bigger bill. The work got done in the timetable we needed. They even let us leave it parked there in the lot until we caught a flight out! Minor miscommunications happened but it was our issue, and these guys are super busy.. so in retrospect, we are thankful for how helpful they were to clarify some details on how to pick up the van on a Sunday when they were closed. Thanks for your great work, your financial honesty and tolerance for all of our special needs that came with this service!

BUYER BEWARE…read more Unfortunately I had to come and replace my once GLOWING TESTIMONIAL with a now, regrettably revised version, now that I have all the facts. Fact of the matter is that after having spent $4596.39 at this place that OVERLOOKED MAJOR COMPONENTS during my vehicle service as verified by Encinitas Ford I was obligated to update my review accordingly. The facts are as follows; 1) I am on disability and only get $1200/monthly and these people totally extorted me by not servicing my vehicle correctly 2) I trusted them to take care of my vehicle and they didn't (BUYER BEWARE/Careful who you trust) 3) I had to incur EXTRA COSTS as a low income person to inspect their work that substantiated this place overlooked key components related to the service requested (TRANSMISSION SERVICE) 4) After spending FIVE MONTHS OF MY INCOME my truck is STILL NOT UP TO PAR. I will be paying off this debt for the next year and a half of my life all while my truck is not even repaired correctly.

Tony introduced himself and was very thorough with his inspection. 21 year old Vette with less than 18k miles on original motor. Made his recommendations and didn't try to upsell anything. Respectful staff, fast, efficient, and takes care of you. Like any place, be kind and you'll get that in return. Very experienced shop with loyal customers. They gained another. Should be all you need to know. Just listen to the recommendations they give. Not an ounce of rudeness from anyone at the staff here. If you experience that then I would question your own character. See you guys again! Update: Went back for rotors and brakes. Was welcomed kindly and took me in right away (appointment of course). Full replacement of rotors and brakes took less than 2 hours with top quality service. Great place with a family atmosphere. Will return again and highly recommend them to all in the future.

Call me a fan! After…read moreover 30 years, my trusted, go-to mechanic closed his shop. I was at a loss for where to find another honest, reliable, knowledgeable auto mechanic shop. After a lot of Yelp research, I found Escondido Auto Tech. I brought my vehicles for a smog and got great service each time. Found them easy to work with too. Next, I brought in my car for maintenance and a list of repairs and items to check on. Let me not bore with the mundane details, just know: -they took good care of the car, addressing every item on my list. -Frank, the service manager, took the time to discuss the list of repairs with me and explained what they would do-to make sure we were on the same page with everything. He listens! In fact, when he received the list (which I'd emailed ahead of time) he immediately spotted a safety issue and reached out to me to get it addressed promptly. -they finished the work AHEAD of the promised completion time -took the trouble to score parts at a lower price than quoted (and passed on the savings!) -provided a detailed completed work order with information I about my vehicle that I found valuable. Like I said, call me a fan!

I have neglected my Kia Sportage a bit, and GG is helping me get it back on track, one thing at a time. I wanted an oil change but I knew it was far more than that. The complete electric diagnostic showed me areas I suspected needed help but I was fearful of finding out (you know, out of sight out of mind?). Whatever the case, I had my oil flushed and cleaned out and taken care of. I can FEEL and HEAR the difference in my engine. Over the next few months I will tackle other things as I get paid. Bruce was a gem. Friendly and up front. When he says he's gonna call, he does. The quote stays the quote. No pressure to get anything done. I like that.

AND even though I live way out in the boonies of Escondido, they will take you home after dropping off your car and pick you back up for FREE when your vehicle is done. They always call to make sure you're satisfied with their work after and even send a handwritten thank you card. That is truly top notch customer service!
