These guys are amazing. Jorge is meticulous and really knows his craft. Travis is a fantastic manager, and always shoots it straight. Very happy I found these guys. read more

I've been bringing my RAV4 here for a couple of years and they always take good care of it. After each oil change, they give me a full inspection report which is super helpful. The staff is always friendly, the waiting area is small but fine, and I love the little candy bag they give you as a thank you. Great spot for honest and reliable service! read more

My second time dealing with Jorge. I am a mechanical engineer who owns a fairly old diesel powered pick up truck. Unfortunately, the Engine had a problem with fuel contamination. (my own mistake) This caused the engine to stop after makIng an absolutely huge cloud of smoke. About half of a year ago, I had Jorge replace all the injectors. It was running so, so well, damm it! I expected that I had succeeded in destroying the engine, which given in the age of the truck, would have meant it's end. Still, I had it towed over to Alonzo services in the hope of rescuing it. There, I explained to Jorge what I had done to cause this damage. And now the magic begins! Jorge examined the fuel injectiion system, and isolated 1 injector which had been killed by the fuel contamination problem. Rather than replacing all the injectors in the system, as most mechanics would have done, he was able to rescue the remaining components at a great savings to myself. Whereas most mechanics that I have met over the years are merely "parts changers", Jorge went the extra mile and gave this situation a lot of thought. He replaced only what was truly necessary and rehabilitated the rest of the parts in the system. This was absolute mastery, I am so grateful ! read more

I do not like to leave negative reviews, but I hope this can help someone save some $ in the future. The short of this review is that Jorge's team misrepresented the brake pad life I had remaining to try to get me to commit to having them replaced for what would have came out to $840 (Front brake pads, 2 Rotors, and a brake fluid flush). To include the back brakes & rotors I was looking at $1.4K+ They stated I had 10% brake life left on the front brakes and 20% on the back and stressed the importance of getting them replaced right away. I was stressing as I had a long road trip ahead of me with my family so this tugged at the heart strings a bit. After a couple conversations with my father who has worked as an auto parts salesman I decided I was going to push through with the trip as he could get me a better price from one of his contacts. I didn't hold the price against Jorge and his team as in this world it helps to know somebody to get a better deal, business is business. However what I do hold against his team is that after dropping my car off with the 2nd opinion mechanic, he quickly called me confused about 10 mins later asking "Why are you wanting new brakes?" Also confused I shared with him the news about the brake pad life and he proceeded to share with me that I had over 50% of my brake pad life left on all four tires. Additionally he said he wouldn't even suggest the fluid flush as this has been known to cause ABS issues with vehicles historically... The piece about the fluid flush is subjective as admitted by this mechanic, but I couldn't understand why a friend of my fathers, who had easy business in front of him would not just take the opportunity unless I actually had much of my brake pad life remaining and he was looking out for my best interests. Thankfully I lucked out on saving $1.4K+, but unfortunately I lost what I though was a local trusted mechanic. I called this morning to share this feedback with Jorges team and had somewhat hoped for a call back with some effort of sincerity. That never happened so I've decided to leave this review. I highly recommend getting a second opinion after my experience, or even requesting that they physically show you the life of your brake pad. Good mechanics are tough to find... Guess I'll keep on looking read more

We were on vacation and our car died on the freeway in Oceanside. After looking at all the reviews I could find, Jorge Alonso's had a overwhelming amount of positive reviews and so many of them said they trusted him, which is a huge vote of confidence for a mechanic. All I can say is every one of the reviews were correct, my experience was great and I have never had a mechanic text and email me updates for every step of the process. They let me use a loaner while we stuck in Oceanside. If we lived there, this would be my go-to repair shop. read more

Jorge Alonso Auto Repair Services - Great customer service and a bag full of treats for when you get your car back - Auto Repair Near Me - Oceanside, California

The rear diff was leaking on our Ram 1500 and we needed in fixed in 3 days due to family coming into town and needing an extra vehicle. Jorge's came recommended from an Oside FB group and he didn't disappoint. My husband did most of the communicating and was glad for all the email updates. Jorge fixed the leak at a reasonable price and did a full inspection too. I picked up the truck with my 1 y/o in tow. The front desk gal was very friendly. To my surprise there was a bag of candy left on the dash and a thank you flyer/pen. You can tell they pride themselves on their service and I'm happy to say we'll be going back for all of our mechanic needs. read more

Totally amazed by the level of service I received from Jorge and his awesome Team. I took my car in for an alignment as a walk in without an appointment. The front desk attendant was very helpful and accommodating. And Jorge and his Team was able to get the alignment done on time and under budget. Totally impressed by the level of care and support and service provided. So satisfied that I will continue to take my car to Jorge henceforth. And to top it all off, the auto service facility was clean and extremely comfortable making it pleasant during my time of waiting for my car to be serviced. Extraordinarily pleased with Jorge and his Team and facility. Thank you Jorge. Cheers, Carl. read more

Synthetic oil and filter change, tire rotation, multipoint inspection , on my wife's 2015 Toyota Highlander. My family was in the auto service and repair business for many years in NY. Jorge and his technicians perform multipoint inspections with photos. Professional service and value. This is my go to service for our Honda CRV and Toyota Highlander. read more

Pleasant professional staff, thorough inspection/estimate but it costed me $206. An axle replacement is $635 and brake fluid flush $278, I can't afford to go back. read more

Very impressed with this shop. The owner Jorge is on top of things and I like that he updates me himself on my vehicle and any recommendations. I have taken a few different vehicles here and he seems very thorough with he inspections, recommendations, and he shows you pictures of what may be wrong. If anything changes in the future of course I will update my review. Regards read more

Thorough, meticulous, and friendly, what more can I say? Marlene was great too. I'm really glad I've found the right auto repair place, (finally!) read more

Just relocated from Honolulu, HI; first thing I do is identify a Dr., bank, Dentist, Barber, best Coffee place, best Hamburger and most importantly, best mechanic. I've had 84 vehicles since 1967; last four were Audi TTs and one TTS; decided to purchase vehicle under $9K, under 55 miles. Chose a Saturn Sky. Cheap, simple mechanics yet, elegant style. Found a beauty in Huntington Beach. Researched the best mechanic in Oceanside and chose Jorge Alonso. Extremely organized, best of the best estimates and concise, understandable, next steps envoice list with no fluff. Decided to change all the fluids and plugs, customary with every vehicle owned with exception of two new Corvettes. The customer service and quality of work exceeded expectations. Importantly was the customer relationship management and willingness to show and educate me on what was necessary. All leading to trust in, recommendations, quality of work and pricing. Too bad there aren't six stars. read more

I want to thank Jorge once again. You have brought my 18 YEAR OLD Silverado 6.6 turbo diesel 2006 back to life ! I had to have AAA tow it to your shop from Murrieta. It was leaking fluid and then overheated, the alarms on my dash went RED. Fortunately my wife was not on the freeway and could stop and pull over easily. Your evaluation of the truck was top shelf. Many other items needed repair. Dr. Jorge checked everything out, found what should be repaired, and suggested to move forward. (Your an expert on Diesel motors). Glad I did. Now it runs like new. Plus, I popped open the hood and it was so clean I could set my table and eat off the engine. It only has 190,000 miles on it, and I expect to double that before it runs out of life. Thank You! You get the TOP DAWG AWARD for 2024! The beat goes on. read more

The alternator died in my car while me and my family were in Oceanside for a family event. The car was towed on Sunday and I called Jorge on Monday morning. I had immediate help and felt reassured by Jorge's efforts to get our car fixed so we could head home in a timely manner. The service was great and efficient with constant communication. Even when I called to ask questions, I never felt I was a burden to them. Highly recommended to anyone in the Oceanside area if they have car problems. read more

Every time I have used Alonsos the better it gets. Fair prices and honesty takes pictures of every step of the process and keeps you updated on what is going on. If the problem is not worth fixing he will let you know that as well. read more

Returning customer, why you ask because they ensure quality and professionalism. I have a truck withh almost 200k miles and as wear starts to show its ugly face I've need repairs for aging and worn out parts. Part of Jorge's Garage is to perform an inspection for your vehicle. Now some may think they are looking for issues to charge as I've seen posted but this is SO NOT the case. Safety is their concern as well for their customers. They perform an inspection, take pictures and are very communicative in what's good, what's a concern and what needs to be addressed. Plus you can retain for you records electronically the report thats emailed to you and ensure you have all related records for your vehicle at the ready. Bravo and thanks again Jorge! read more

I so wanted this to be a positive review, esp after my poor encounter w North County Auto Service. But sadly, Im realizing just how hard it is to find a good, trustworthy mechanic. What impressed me about this place was the smooth talker that answers the phone for them - Sam. He (originally) made me feel like I was in good hands. But that quickly changed, once he had my car & knew I was going with them for the repairs. They started taking forever just to diagnose the car. When I 1st called him that Wednesday. He tried to talk me into bringing it in real quick, so he could accurately diagnose it. On paper it shows the test as taking 30 mins to diagnose. So I asked if he could perform that test faster than 2 days, he was trying to do it in. Since he orginally said he could do it real quick. Thats when he proceeded to give me a bunch of attitude, while saying he didn't like mine. Normal for ppl to get defensive when someones being rude. He spoke down to me. Tried to act like it was too difficult for me to switch mechanics at this point- which it wasn't. But this know it all knows EVERYTHING. He proceeded to try & sell me more bullsh*t. Blaming it on the company that was paying for the repairs, for it taking so long. Even though they authorized the charges the day before. Said hes doing me a favor bec he had a sister in my situation. So he felt the need to help me blah blah blah 1st off- he doesnt know my situation. But it's funny that he assumes, then thinks he's doing me a favor. How? I'm still paying full price LMFAO So id still really like to know what favor I got. All I got was a HUGE pain in the ass. Because they overcharged for everything- 2/3 yr warranties on EVERYTHING they install. Weird, never asked for any warranties, nor did anyone ask me. Sam took advantage of the fact I was using a company to help me with the repair costs & he exploited that. While treating me the WHOLE time like I wasnt a paying customer. They had no care in the world for the amount of probs they were causing taking SO long to repair the vehicle. I lost 2 jobs I was supposed to start, in 1 wk. Couldnt go to my mothers grave on the anniversary of her passing. Had to pay $60 for an uber to the ER. The list goes on. Said they would have it done in a day. But It took them 9 days to repair 3 things that only take an hr to 3 hrs, each (New radiator, new battery, oil change, and new thermostat). Part of them not having any respect for you, your schedule or life. Sure glad I got that favor! All ive been doing is wishing I took it ANYWHERE else. Take their behavior/responses to reviews as a red flag/warning sign. Their dishonest, a**holes who pretend to be good people. Wonder what will be wrong with my car now, that it didnt have when it went in? And for thinking I was in a domestic violence shelter, the manager sure had NO problem raising his voice at me on the phone. And being completely disrespectful- Will I be bringing this car or any others, back for future repairs? -HELL NO. read more

New in town and had to get my 2021 Nissan Rogue serviced after a cross country drive and saw their good reviews. My dad took it in on my behalf and was very impressed with their hospitality, frequent updates (text updates!) during the service, and quality of work. From his prior experiences, he rarely raves about auto service shops but this is an exception. Would return here for continued service! Thanks so much to them for the help! read more

From the moment I spoke to Marlene on the phone to set up appointment, I was so pleased. My air conditioning was broken and a dashboard light wouldn't go off. He kept me informed of all the things wrong with my car (2007 Honda CR-V with 150,000plus miles named Emma) Jorge gave me real life explanations in language I could understand. He sent photos of some of the things that were wrong that I didn't e Em know about. He also discovered my number hadn't been replaced properly the last time my car was worked on. If you value someone with a work ethic, this is your place. I plan to get 500,000 miles out of my Honda and with Jorge and his teams help, I'm confident I'll get there! Thank you to EVERYONE!!!!!! read more

I can sum up my review with one word - integrity. As someone who doesn't know much about cars, I have been fooled and scared into paying for things that aren't necessarily ... But that was before my good friend told me about Jorge Alonso about 7 years ago. I truly trust their judgment. After getting a report from Toyota dealership in Carlsbad where they wanted me to replace 4 different items on a 2 year old car, I took it to J. A. and it turned out those items were in a good shape. Jorge Alonso's shop is a great family owned and operated place where they treat clients with respect and positive attitude. They do not try to fool or scare you into doing things you don't need. They are very tech savvy though: from online reports, reminders and appointments to just being professionals in their field. Couldn't recommend more. read more

Took my parents car here with multiple codes and issues. I had found this by searching though google and saw they had good reviews.They were able to give it a thorough inspection and found everything wrong with the car. They gave me a copy of the report which included photos and details of every issue.Very honest shop as Jorge recommended not to work on the car as the cost would be more than the cars value. Appreciated the honesty and the price was very reasonable for the thorough inspection. To top it off they leave a bag with candies for you when you get inside your car as a thank you for being a customer. Definitely will be going back there read more

Really good guy, honest and upfront. I had a question about my bill and he sat with me and explained everything line by line. Fair pricing. Easy to get to. Family run. Oh and they give you a cute little bag of candy when you pick up your car once it's ready. The loaner car was super helpful! Definitely recommend read more

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Jorge & his team. We're new to the area & needed to find a good, trustworthy, and not ridiculously expensive shop in a hurry. After 3 calls to AAA in 12 hours, no joke (couldn't figure out if it was the battery or starter), we found JA Auto Repair on Yelp + great reviews. Well this shop lives up to all the positive reviews. I received texts with status updates along the way, a very detailed update & status, and clear descriptions of the estimates AND a list of things to do soon & in the future. Very professional & real people that don't steal your money. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend. Thanks so much Jorge & team!! read more

THE BEST EVER! Words cannot describe how great Jorge is. Quality workmanship and service. He deeply cares and is mindful in every aspect of his business. He is honest, dedicated, and great at what he does. Oh, and you could eat off the floor of his work area - that clean. He is all about genuine customer service and quality work. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. He is the best and always goes the extra mile read more

I took my vehicle to get my air conditioning fixed, and he went beyond replacing the freon to testing my fuses. He found the solution with a loose fuse. Price of service was high, but he was thorough and explained the problem to me with follow up advice. So far my air conditioner is still working well, and I know to monitor the fuse in case I have future problems. read more

A good friend of mine referred me to Jorge Alonso Auto Repair so I took my Chevrolet Camaro there for an oil change and tire rotation and was so impressed with Marlene at the front desk who gave me the details that I would be getting text messages and emails on each step of the car repair process. I dont think that any other car repair shops do this. I also received an in depth PDF report on the repairs made and other important observations about the care - including a non-urgent oil leak and a chip in the windshield that I had no idea about! The report included pictures and video as well. That was awesome. I also liked the option of having a free rental car for a day so that I didnt have to get a ride or call a rideshare. What a great service! Communication was great and Jorge Alonso and the team did a great job on my car. I will definitely be back with my other vehicle soon. Thank you! read more

I have known him over 10 years. Very reputable. Stands behind his work. Even gives you a loaner while your car is being serviced so you don't have to sit there and wait. read more

Went in for a repair. Radiator was leaking. Was quoted over $1,300. Yup didn't want to get overcharged 4 times over so left. I'm sure they do good work but prices are outrageous. The actual radiator itself elsewhere cost $60 and install was $200. On Jorge Alonso estimate same $60 part $220. Come on with the crazy mark ups on the parts. And just telling everyone who is shocked by the high prices welcome to bmw, welcome to Audi, welcome to Lexus repair costs. Don't mark parts up 4x over and the prices will be more reasonable and people will get the work done read more

Great price. Great service. Been taking our cars to Jorge for years, would never go anywhere else.

I had a very good experience with this team. Took my car in for brakes and an oil change, and the work was done right the first time. They lent me a complimentary loaner car, too. They have a really helpful system of texts that lets customers know what the status of their cars is, so there's no guessing. And the price they quoted me was the price I ended up paying. Their customer service is excellent, too. They do everything they can to make the process of getting your car serviced and repaired easy and convenient. And the repairs are done the right way, so - no worries. Recommended! read more

They offer vehicle loaners, are efficient, and they know their stuff. I really appreciate how quickly they identify what is wrong and what needs fixing. They aren't the cheapest around, but they are fair and do great work. read more

MAJOR RIP OFF! They over charge and don't do the job right. One of the jobs I got done was just replacing the wire harness for the headlight. I even brought in the harness myself and he charged me $200 for labor. Once the job was complete he failed to tell me I needed to replace the harness on the other side. I ended up going to Ye Olde Car Shop in Vista for the other side and he quoted me $50. Plus on top of that after picking up my car at Jorge's, one of his mechanics stole out of my car! read more
