My son's 2020 Kia Soul GT started having transmission issues, so I took it over to Full Throttle Automotive. Scott diagnosed the problem quickly and got right to work. Thankfully, we had an extended warranty, and within a week Scott had submitted a detailed inspection to the warranty company, got approval, and completed the repairs. My son was back on the road faster than I expected. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, with great follow-up and transparency. It's hard to find an honest, reliable local mechanic these days, but Scott and his team absolutely delivered. Highly recommend! read more

The best honest place to take your car. Went to another shop told 4 grand . Came to Scott and the car was misdiagnosed. Saved me 4 grand Great service! read more

Scott at Full Throttle Auto was a pleasure to deal with! I had my spark plugs and wires changed out on my 2016 GMC Sierra and they had very competitive pricing! Scott is a very honest mechanic. Thank you read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Scott put his day on hold to inspect my 18 year old's Tacoma truck. My son had been driving with no headlights (only parking) and didn't realize it until this week. Scott inspected his truck for electrical issues, confirmed it was the light bulbs, ordered the replacement bulbs, installed them, fixed a couple other things (not related). Scott is honest, quick, professional and reasonable. We will now use him for all of our auto mechanic needs. read more

I have been having issues with my Dodge Durango. I brought it to the dealer and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. I brought it to Scott and he figured it out and repaired it within an hour. He was very professional and reasonable. I will not go anywhere else for my automotive needs. I highly recommend Scott at Full Throttle!!! read more

I took my Toyota in after the dealership told me I needed breaks. Scott let me know that I still had a few months before I needed them replaced. When it was time I took my Toyota back and got a fair price and it only took a few hours. I will definitely be back. read more

I have been going to Scott Spahr with Full Throttle for years. He always gets me in right away, and never tries to up-sale me. He is honest and takes care of the problem in a short and timely manner. He has even let me watch as he fixes whatever the problem is with my car, showing his integrity. My Honda Accord 2005 has been kept on the road in new running condition all thanks to Scott Spahr. I highly recommend Full Throttle!!! read more

Took my older Ram 1500 in for front end work (which it needed badly) & received excellent service & price from Full Throttle Automotive! They came highly recommended & so we decided to give them a try, even though there are many other auto repair shops closer (we live 20 miles away). We feel it is worth the extra miles for great work & service, which is what we received! Definitely returning for future repairs Give them a try read more

These guys are awesome. Reliable and honest. Great work Scott and team. Will continue to bring our cars to you. Thanks for doing right by your customers! read more

*Response to Scott- your response is totally false! I have all the texts between us stating you would fix the oil leak etc for well over a year now! read more

Scott is a legend. I've been going to him since 2013. He's an honest guy that tells you how it is and isn't out to make a buck off you. I've sent a few friends and family members his way. Highly recommended. Saw him during COVID as well and no problems, smooth sailing. Wish I could remember the other mechanic's name, but he's an awesome dude as well. Skip the dealer and support your local business. read more

This place is wonderful! I generally go to the dealer for my oil changes and vehicle services. This time I decided to try a local small business and I'm so glad I did. They were able to schedule the date and time that I wanted and when I got there I was quickly greeted and my service was underway. The customer service was excellent and the prices are so affordable. It was great to find out that they include in their oil change, services and inspections that I generally have to pay extra for on the normal maintenance minders. Scott was very helpful and explained things about my vehicle to me. I will definitely come back to Full Throttle for all my vehicle needs. I would highly recommend that you take your vehicle here! read more

My family and I have been taking our cars here since we moved into town 4 years ago. Scott is a very friendly and honest man. He let's you know exactly what you need done without trying to hustle you like other automotive places do. He has good, honest rates. I will definitely only take my automobiles to him from now on. Thank you Scott for being such a trustworthy person. read more

After a very LONG weekend of ford hassling me on my car, they finally told me the problem and then the cost. Complete utter shock to me. I decided to shop around and found Full Throttle Automotive. Scott was incredibly helpful in getting me in as soon as he could, which was the next day of me calling. He also was able to fix the issue at hand within a few hours of me leaving my car with him. He was honest, reliable and affordable for my family. We are super impressed. Thanks!! read more

Great service, I never have to wait. Friendly staff. Very honest. Scott Sphar has been my mechanic for over 12 years. I wont go anywhere else. You can't beat the prices. read more

Honesty is a rare thing you find in people these days. There's always those who want to get the upper hand. Pull a quick one on you to gain the advantage in one form or another, especially when it comes to car mechanics. But once in a blue moon and during an eclipse, you find a mechanic who feels that being honest is the utmost important thing when dealing with customers and their cars. Case in point. For the past couple of weeks whenever I'd hit a speed bump or a pothole, my passenger front tire, which I thought it was my shocks, would make a loud thump/ banging sound. I took my car to Scott and explained to him the situation. This isn't the first time I've taken my cars to Scott for repairs. He told me he'd look at it a while I ran some errands. He estimated if it was the struts causing the problem, it would be well over three hundred bucks to do both sides. Scott could've told me some bullshit story and would've believed him. But he told me that my tires just needed air. Any other mechanic would've ripped me off blindly. I will not take any car to another mechanic as long as Scott has his shop in Temecula. He has your best interest at heart. So if you have issues with shady mechanics you've dealt with in the past, take your business to Scott at Full Throttle. You will not get ripped off. Guaranteed. read more

Scott did such a great job repairing my car so quickly. I now have a reliable mechanic for all my automotive needs.

Scott is a trustworthy mechanic with a ton of knowledge. I got a quote from the dealership to repair my car and Scott did it for half the price. Will definitely be using him for any repairs that I need. read more

I have always taken my cars to Full Throttle . My visits always start with a friendly and welcoming smile from Alicia. Scott always offers good advice and I have always been well served and kept informed on any problems that arise. Any services have been charged at realistic and competitive prices. I have nothing but good things to say and have no hesitation in recommending them. read more

Scott is the best tells you the truth and doesn't rip you off. He's saved me a few times now with my car. I recommend him to anyone that needs their car looked at for anything. My windshield wipers stopped working when it was raining and he got me in right away and fixed it. You will not regret going to Scott at Full Throttle for any of your car repairs. I would give 10 stars if it was an option. Don't hesitate to go here. Just good people doing good work. This is the only place I'm taking my car and only place I would recommend. read more

Scott and Alicia were great! I took my car to a chain store and I am pretty sure they broke what they said was broken. And they wanted me to pay double what Scott charged me for it. Full throttle fixed the part and gave me a detailed list of maintenance with pricing I need to do and explained to me the reasoning etc. overall great experience they have gained a life long customer from me. read more

When I moved out to this area from Huntington Beach, CA., I didn't know how I was going to commute back and forth to my wonderful mechanic out there. The time included in driving roundtrip in addition to handing over my car for hours, would not be a doable plan for me. Only a few months after moving, I was told by someone during an oil change, that my brakes were bad and already scratching the roters visibly. Now I knew that my mechanic in HB had replaced them just under a year ago but I do, do a lot of driving. I knew I wasn't going to get them fixed right there on the spot so I decided to do a little research for a few days first. I joined some of the Community pages that were local to this area via Facebook. I happened to see a current post on a local page asking around for an honest Mechanic. So I followed the post. On that one post Scott Spahr with Full Throttle Auto was referred countless times. He was given more compliments as far as honesty, ethics and decent prices go. I decided to give him a call. I knew from all the referrals, that I could probably trust him to give me a decent deal on my brakes. My appointment was the next day and when I booked it, I gave over the info to my car and asked for a quote ahead of time on the brakes. I came in there expecting to wait around an hour or two, to have my brakes installed. To my surprise, Scott looked at my car, called me back over to it and showed me that my brakes were just fine, in fact he said they had "a lot of life left on them". It turns out I didn't even need new brakes. This guy, could have easily had a $600 appointment out of me but he choose instead to be honest and not fix something that wasn't broken. I have never been in this situation before. Turned away from a mechanic because my car was fine. He did check my fluids before I left and said I was a little low on oil and he could add some for me. At this point you can see how that was my first and last time trying to find a mechanic. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. The shop is not large or fancy with a great waiting room like some of the other shops. Do you know why? It's because he is honest, doesn't rack up a lot of charges and tries to helps others as much as he possibly can. They will even offer to help you get back home if needed, or set up a payment plan, if you can't afford to get your car fixed. Every other review of his is outstanding. If you ever come across a bad review of this guy, it's only bc good people, often get taken advantage of and walked on. When they can't get away with it, they often lash out. At the end of the day, Some People are in business to make money. Some people are in business doing what they love and helping others while just making enough to survive. I can't recommend Scott Spahr with Full Throttle Automotive, enough. He is the best Mechanic in the area!! You can find him on Facebook and follow his page. That way, when you need to call a Mechanic, you will already have the right one to call. read more

Scott was fantastic! I was able to make an appointment quickly. He kept me in the loop while figuring out the part I needed for the best price and best warranty. I paid significantly less than I was quoted at a few other shops. I will never take my car anywhere else for any repairs needed. Wish I would have found his shop years ago! read more

Great and friendly service, I had a blown head gasket and they had very fair pricing . They even brought me to the back to show me exactly what was wrong and even explained it so I can understand! I won't take my truck anywhere else! read more

Best mechanic in town! Wouldn't go anywhere else! Scott is honest and reliable, always does an amazing job on my cars!

Owner will lie to you with a straight face. Make sure you do your homework. He will lie to you because it's all about the money. He screwed up my car and then blamed me for the problem he made worse. He doesn't back up his warranty at all. These positive reviews must be from his friends. Stay away from this place. Very unprofessional. You have been warned ahead of time. Don't waste your valuable time and money. Go with a more reputable honest company that's not out to rip you off read more

I don't usually write a review for anything other than restaurants, but I wanted to share my experience with Full Throttle Auto. Since I moved to this area last year I've been looking for a mechanic I trusted like I did for the last 20 years with my last one. I didn't want to drive 70 miles to get my oil changed and such so I started looking around. Thankfully I found this place by referral of other customers whom I trust. Scott is friendly and trustworthy, Alicia is wonderful to talk to and also friendly. Will definitely be going back there to keep my car in shape. read more

I was recommended to Scott by my employer and he delivered 100%. I had used the same mechanic for over 20 years and was very leary about anyone new. Some extensive work (timing belt, etc) needed to be done on my '06 Volvo XC90. Scott went over everything with me prioritizing what was an immediate repair and what could wait. His quote was extremely fair and he never tried to up sell or call me with a "surprise" problem that needed attention and more money!!! My repairs were completed on time and I've now found my new mechanic for the next 20 years!!! I highly recommend Scott at Full Throttle Automotive. read more

We have been using Scott for years and recommend him to all of our friends. He is honest and does GREAT work. Between our cars, our 2 kids and their spouses and significant others we have a small fleet! read more

I took my car in with the check engine light on not sure what was wrong with it. Scott was very helpful explaining exactly what was going on my with car. He even did extra research to find the part I needed for a better price .He went above and beyond. I highly recommended full throttle and will be a life long customer. Thanks again Scott! read more

I was taught how to take care of my car from my father...FIND A GREAT MECHANIC! LOL! Well I did. Scott is a very honest person with morals & integrity...that is hard to find in the automotive world. No matter the problem from an oil change to something major he is your guy. Best in town, hands down. read more

Please pass this place, dishonest people. Took them my car may, 2017 and it took them a year to fix my car and they still did not fix my car rt! They was supposed to fix my oil pan and a few other things finally picked my car up after taking them to court and oil bone dry, still smells like something is burning, so had to take car to a new place! read more

Honest, reliable, unbeatable service, and exceptional customer service. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Really grateful for the deal Scott gave us on replacing our passenger door mirror. Good work, great price, would recommend! Little hard to find his shop. Look for the DMV to turn, then pay attention to the building address number and suite! read more
