BMW charges me $1,000 per axle to change my brakes and rotors. I called Rick for the first time a few years ago after a referral from a friend. Rick changed my brakes and rotors and my car ran like a top. And his price was fair, possibly even a little better than fair deal for me. And the best part about it is he gave it to me right away. He didn't make me beg him for a better price. He just did it because that's how honest he is. An honest mechanic... who would have thought I'd ever find one. BUT I did with Rick. I'm bringing my car back to him because I could only think of one person I trust to do a good job at a fair price. I highly, highly, highly recommend calling Rick, especially if you have a Japanese car as that's his specialty. read more

My neighbor recommended Integrity Service so we took our Prius for Rick to find out was rattling in tire area. He put it up on the lift and found a pebble in the brake rotor. He gave me the pebble. Quick and very reasonable and he had 'Integrity' and did not try to upsell me anything. read more

Rick does excellent work at a fair price. Very knowledgeable and explains the process in detail. No need to look anywhere else. read more

Integrity Import Service - Waiting room - Auto Repair Near Me - Escondido, California

My family and I have been taking our cars to Rick for many years and he has always been fair, honest, and trustworthy. He is by far the best mechanic in town, perhaps in the county! Rick does great quality work and always puts the customer first. I don't think there has been a single time when I have called Rick during his open hours and he has not answered the phone immediately even though his shop is always very busy. He is always willing to share his time and expert advice to his customers even if he isn't making money from it. You may occasionally be able to find shops willing to do work for a cheaper price, but nothing beats the peace of mind and top quality customer service that you will get with Rick. read more

I can't overstate how good it is to have a great mechanic when you need one. Rick has worked on both our cars for the past 7-8 years. We live 20 minutes away and never even think of finding anyone closer. Here's three reasons you should take your car here: Firstly, I totally trust his judgement and he's very easy to talk with. He'll tell you what should to be fixed now, and what can wait. We've also used him for the manufacturer recommended services and saved loads of money for our Honda and Lexus. Secondly, he gets his work done when he says he will and he's an overall nice guy. His prices are very fair. I've referred family to him as well from out of town and everyone has loved his service. Thirdly, my wife will never go anywhere else. He explains things well, and lets you ask all the questions you need. He's never once spoken to her like she doesn't know anything, or said things like "have your husband call me", as we've experienced elsewhere. read more

If you're looking for a great mechanic/technician with fair prices and integrity, this is the place. When Rick needs to replace auto parts, he will show you the worn-out parts and explain why. Honesty and excellent work. What else would you want in a top mechanic. read more

I found this business by accident! After paying close to $100.00 at the Honda dealership for routine service ( oil change, tire rotation, brake inspection, etc.) I took my 2006 Honda Accord to Integrity Import Auto Service. Rick does all the work himself and is first & foremost honest, professional, experienced & a great guy. I have always favored patronizing owner- operated small businesses as opposed to dealing with sales driven corporate titans when at the end of the day, you really don't know who did the actual work on your vehicle. Rick took the time to explain comprehensive details and provided me with a better understanding of how the industry works. I would recommend this business to anyone who values top quality service from a highly trained professional. Thanks Rick! read more

My 2004 Lexus ES330 made a howling banshee noise when I turned on the ignition in a dark parking lot. To tow, or to chance a short drive home and risk breaking a belt? I drove it home, hoping the noise would be gone the next morning. No such luck. I squirted water on the blasted alternator belt to see if that would work (as Youtube said it would.) Again no such luck. The two Mobile mechanics I called were unavailable, so I had it towed to Rick in the Autopark. I happened to see his shop the other day when I was on foot. A one-man operation, exactly what I prefer. An old Lexus was rolling out of the driveway. Synchronicity? Rick listened to the howl, and said, "It's the alternator." I was suspicious, thinking, "My lights never flickered, battery is fine, put a voltmeter on it?" Instead of throwing me out for 2nd guessing him, he patiently said, "When the bearings go out, you won't get a reading." Later, when the mobile mechanic called back, I told the guy what happened. but not where I towed it. He agreed with Rick's diagnosis. Now, I have a new rebuilt Denso alternator (unless Rick sandblasted my old one to look new, haha,) and a new belt. Same day, in and out, including an oil/filter change, and some "ratpack" rodent repellent juju bags hanging in the engine compartment because of mouse tracks in there. The price shocked me, but I looked it up, and that IS what it costs. I was impressed by Integrity Imports clean shop, waiting room, and Rick's calm, patient, professional demeanor. I only gave 4 stars because I just had the work done. I only give 5 stars when I've been going to a shop for a long time, and had great, long-lasting results each time. Stay tuned! read more

Awesome place. Recommended by yelp and it was all that and more. He an appointment next day and everything was done with no issue. Wish going to the dealer was that simple! read more

Rick is GREAT ! His shop is meticulously clean, he is extremely honest. His prices are very fair. Our family has been so happy that we found Rick. He does great work. In the not that distant past we had some work done at another shop and Rick repaired what had not been properly repaired elsewhere. Aside from Rick being an excellent auto technician, he is someone that I really trust. Oh, in case you are looking for his business his 'store-front' faces the side-street not Auto Park Way.. just slow down as you pass thru the light ie Andreason, his front door faces Vinewood I believe., I mention that as we had trouble finding his place the first time. But it is worth the effort! Thank You Rick, from a grateful customer! Scott C, of Escondido. read more

Nice, honest, reasonable, accommodating, experienced, knowledgeable; what more could you ask for?

Like many folks, I'm always trying to find a competent, fair, trustworthy mechanic. That's the Holy Grail of auto technicians right? We moved here a couple years ago from Colorado (where it's also hard to find a good mechanic!) and have tried several since we have been here, and were getting to the point where we thought we were going to be forced to go to the dealer for trustworthy service (gasp!). Happily however, my wife recently found Integrity Import. Having worked on cars off and on for most of my life, I know what I'm looking and listening for, and was thrilled to meet Rick and find out that not only did he check the boxes of competent/fair/trustworthy he also throws in customer service as part of the package. Pretty stoked to find Rick, looking forward to taking my families cars there in the future. read more

I needed an oil change, and I figure I give Integrity Import Services a try. Rick found out the Brake Fluid needed to be replace. I glad he checked my car out. I like to keep up with my services. I am very happy with the service. And will bring my car back and have Rick also service my girlfriends car . read more

Really expensive. got the job done some few extra charges he added . I later asked another mechanic how much he would have charged me he responded like 70 dollars cheaper read more

I found out about Rick's shop through my roommates and I will never take my car to somebody else other than him! He is one of the most honest mechanics I've ever met and doesn't talk to me like I don't know anything simply because I'm a female. He isn't in it just for the dollar and won't try and add in a bunch of different services that aren't necessary at that time. He's a hard worker and I'm seriously grateful for all his work! read more

I was looking for a top notch mechanic to service my 2006 Pilot, now that I am fed up with the Honda dealership I've been frequenting for 12 years. And I'm so glad I did. Rick is to the Honda dealer like the sun is to a candle. He fixed things easily that had mystified them for years, and at a fraction the price. Plus, he took the time to explain everything. I recommend Rick enthusiastically and without reservation. read more

We think the world of Rick - he is hands down the best mechanic you could ever find! Very knowledgeable and professional mechanic, yet very reasonable prices and outstanding service. And also incredibly innovative when necessary! Plus he's such a nice guy too. We wholeheartedly recommend Rick and his Integrity Import Service. read more

Ricks shop is aptly named. He is knowledgeable and fair with his pricing. You'd be hard pressed to find a more honest mechanic. I've been bringing my vehicles here for 20 years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others. His 5 star rating is well deserved. read more

Rick and Integrity Import Service are the best in town. He is an honest, fair guy and I have absolutely no doubt that I can trust him. I took my car to Honda Escondido for an oil change and they discovered a leak. I wasn't pleased with their customer service, so I decided to take it to an indpendent shop to have the leak checked out. A co-worker recommended Integrity, which is about a block away from the Honda dealership. Rick did not charge me ANYTHING to diagnose the oil leak. I have never received a complimentary diagnostic before! Most places charge at least an hour of labor. He gave me an estimate of repair, and when I came back for my appointment, it turned out to be about $30 less than what he initially quoted me. My car is ten years old and now in great shape thanks to Rick. He knows what he's doing, and he does it for a fair, realistic price. I'll never go back to the dealership again! read more

Very happy to join the chorus here....Rick is very knowledgeable, and provides prompt, courteous service. I will be very happily returning there for further assistance, as needed. read more

Rick is our go to mechanic for all our Honda & Acura vehicles, we've had several, currently a '98 CRV, an '05 CRV & a '10 MDX. Rick services all of them. He is very honest & dependable. When our son called & scheduled a major service he reminded us he already did that service the last time we had the car in. He completed the needed minor service, including oil change and saved us lots of money. read more

I was referred to Integrity by a good friend. I walked in on the Friday afternoon before a holiday and met Rick. Even though he was slammed, he took the time to run a code on my car for a quick diagnosis at no charge. Right away you can tell Rick is a honest person with good values. I had him do quite a bit of work on my vehicle and he did a great job at a fair price. He was in communication with me when things came up that were a good idea to get done while he was in the car. Additional repairs were done at a good price and he was generous with his time to make sure my car was done right and I was a satisfied customer. Rick isn't the kind of guy who would tell you to fix something if it didn't need to be fixed. You can trust Integrity to be upfront and honest about your repairs. I highly recommend them and you can bet I won't be taking my car anywhere else! read more

I took my 08' Acura to Rick today for services that I previously have always had done by the dealership, he was great. Went over the entire car, told me what I needed and what I would need in the future but not right now. The dealership was pressuring me to have things fixed now, but, Rick assured me I was good wait a while and I could budget for this for the near future. The parts that he did replace he showed husband and that he used factory Acura brand parts and thoroughly explained every thing. I let with my car running great and I didn't feel like I had been tricked or scared into any decisions. Rick will be taking care of my car from now on. read more

I've been going to Rick for years! I'm a DIY guy so i do most of my own repairs! But, for things that are a little more complicated....he's the guy. If I can't find the answer on the internet, looking at car manuals, or watching videos! i give Rick a holler! If you're looking for a honest mechanic that won't charge you for things that don't need to be done and his prices are based on the OEM replacement part cost and his labor charge is cheap considering what dealers and other independent shops charge. I'm giving him 5 stars because he's bailed me out numerous times and saved me hundreds of dollars on repairs! read more

Getting your car worked on is never fun. But Rick always gives us great service. He is easy to talk to, takes the time to explain repairs and maintenance, has very low prices compared to dealerships, and does quality work. We've been taking our cars (2006 Mazda 6 and 1994 Nissan pickup) to Integrity for about 5 years and won't go anywhere else now. We've had the following done: oil changes, starter replaced, air conditioning noise fixed, oil leak fixed, brakes replaced, and regular tune-ups. We've never been disappointed. read more
