I first noticed them when my sister and I were passing by and she said you should check those guys out for brakes. so then I checked the reviews on Yelp and Google. I used the quote button on Yelp app. They responded accurately and quickly with correct information. Actually the price was lower than the quote! Came in for a free brake inspection at 1:00 pm and they had completed the service by 4:30! In addition to great service and customer service they gave me advice on how to possibly save money on a factory light that comes on randomly. Oh and my steering wheel didn't feel like grease after the service. It's the little things that makes them great! They make you feel like your part of the family and they have your best interest in mind! Thanks Jose and Ish

When I called this Oceanside Car Clinic and I talked to Eric who works for their shop, he told me that he is not at their shop right now. I explained to Eric that I want to get a Free Quote on this Brake Replacement Service that needs to be done on my 1995 Honda Civic DX Coupe Car. I want to know, how much would Eric charge me for this Brake Light Part and how much would he charge for his labor including the sales tax? Eric told me to send him 3 photos of my car and to text message him from the Oceanside Car Clinic's business phone number. Then Eric said he will give me the (price of the Brake Light Part) and he will also give me a FREE Quote on the (Brake Light Replacement Service). I said okay great. Eric's voice sounded really friendly during my cell phone conversation with him on Thursday, June 20, 2023 at 4:30 p. m. I have the proof in posting my photos and my text messages to Eric on my Apple IPhone XR. But it is also very important to write a review to explain the issue, I had with this automotive repair shop. As a Yelp Elite 2023 Reviewer, it is required from me to always tell the Truth with every experience I have with a business. I did send Eric these 3 screenshots on my 1995 Honda Civic DX Coupe Car. I also told Eric that my local automotive repair shop that I am a regular customer at currently is at this Golden Wrench Auto. Shop and I had recently had my car taken in for an oil and filter change with a 22 point inspection from my local auto. repair shop on June 6, 2023 and my car was fine. I had texted Eric all of this information about my car. Then Eric said he will text me back with a price on this Brake Light Replacement Service if I decide I want to have to get this service done at their Oceanside Car Clinic. I waited for Eric's response back to me on Thursday, July 20, 2023. Eric did NOT respond back to my text message to him from my Apple IPhone XR. Eric still had 30 minutes to respond back to my message to him. Eric never got back to me and like he said he would. I see this as (poor customer service) and the Oceanside Car Clinic needs to improve on their customer service skills. I want to let Eric know who works for this shop, you never know who is going to be calling your shop. It can be a Yelp Elite 2023 Reviewer like me or a potential customer. Please next time respond back to that person calling into your shop for a quote on a specific service. My assumption maybe is that since I told Eric I am a loyal customer at my local shop at the Golden Wrench Automotive Shop. It could possibly be that Eric doesn't want to take away another shop's business. I don't really know for sure, because I am not a mind reader. I think Eric should have been more (honest) to me and he should have told me that he will not respond back to me with a Free Quote on this Brake Light Replacement Service. I also learned that when I call around to some other automotive repair shops to compare prices on a specific service that I want a Free Quote on, these other automotive repair shops, they just care about making a profit and they don't care about me. This is my reason to give this Oceanside Car Clinic a (2 star rating). It could have been better. I rarely give a business a poor review. The only time I do give a business a poor rating is to alert that business to improve their customer service. It would be great if their manager or their owner would respond back to my review.

He has been helping me maintain my Forester and its CVT transmission (my husband told me not to get this car because of said transmission and I am determined to keep it alive for 200k miles).

My brakes were making a horrible noise. Niko's is BUSY, so the first available appointment wasn't until several days later. However, the representative asked me "Are you concerned it's unsafe to drive?" I said yes. She was able to squeeze me in sooner. When it came to the actual service, I was nervous about a ton of things being identified and being upsold on different repairs/maintenance tasks. Instead, Niko's identified only one other problem after diagnosing my check engine light. Niko called me and explained the situation in a non-condescending way. He made it clear what his recommendations were but that there was no pressure. My front brakes needed new pads and rotors (which I already suspected)--Niko could have easily said the rear brakes needed to be done, too. Instead he was honest and stated they were fine and had a good amount of time left on them. At every step they gave me to think through the purchase. They also worked with me and were flexible about drop off and pickup times. I left feeling that my car had gotten quality service from honest and helpful professionals.

Good ratings and they've been around for a minute...so we gave them a shot. She'd taken her car there first after needing a battery replaced - she'd purchased her battery at Costco just down the road. Mike at Golden Wrench got her laced up quickly and for a very reasonable price. Next, I needed to get my car tuned up and was hoping to have a quality mechanic like Golden Wrench review/validate findings from a report I'd been given by another local mechanic after getting my oil changed about a month back. I was able to schedule the tune up in short order - spoke with Mike and dropped the car off to Chris. Dropped off the whip along with the report I'd been given previously - turns out, I didn't need like 98% of the work recommended in the report - go figure. The price for the tune up and the little work that needed to be done was super reasonable AND they turned the car around same day. The team at Golden Wrench is super honest and operates in good faith - something not always common with many garages and mechanics. Thankfully, they're not far from the house, either. Definitely earned my trust and confidence and plan to have my car serviced here going forward. Highly recommended!

They consistently go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied and that your car is properly fixed and safe to drive. I recently had a situation where Hyundai told me I needed to immediately replace my radiator. I felt something was off because I had never had any issues, leaks, or warning signs with it before. Sonny was absolutely amazing--he inspected everything at no cost and reassured me that nothing was wrong and that my car was safe to drive. That kind of honesty and integrity is hard to find these days. If anyone is looking for a reliable, honest mechanic in Oceanside, Mike and Golden Wrench are the way to go.

I met Accurate Alignment Services sort of second hand by their partnership with San Diego Motoring,…read moreonly minutes away. My first use of their services was for alignment for new tires on our 3 autos from www/sd.motoring.com. Since then, we've had new tires and front-end alignment for our daughter's car as well - all great service from both companies! Recently that "daughter auto" was afflicted with a dead battery, leaving me puzzled how you navigate this sort of issue. I called Scot at Accurate Alignment simply trying to put together a plan of action. Not being familiar with the whole towing process, Scot's guidance was welcome in getting the car to his shop to move toward repairs. I hadn't looked to Scot's team as being able to also provide other "SERVICES" as their name suggests. With his help we had the car in his shop, and out with a new battery by 4:30 same day! Scot was his usual helpful, professional, friendly self, guiding me along the towing steps from AAA, to one of their towing agents, and on to Accurate Alignment SERVICES for our needed repairs. Thanks, Scot, for the full spectrum of auto repair!

I called my go-to mechanic, Kevin and the guys at Emerald Auto. I told them the car probably needed brakes and I was heading back home once my son returned from his trip. No need to "go long" on the inspection.... Kevin knew he wasn't going to see this car again, and a lesser man would be tempted to grab as much $$ as possible, right? My trust was well-placed. He gave the vehicle a full inspection "so it would be safe driving back to your son's home". Wow. Fortunately, the car was in pretty good shape and didn't need as extensive a brake job as we thought. The price reflected this. We took care of a couple of maintenance items and we were out the door, same day! Kevin and the guys are honest, thorough, and professional. I won't go anywhere else.
