It's an absolute pleasure working with Jonathan. He takes great care of our Honda vehicle no matter what it needs. I definitely recommend Jovenal Autoworks for all your service needs. Especially if you drive a Honda or Acura and have a goal to increase performance or the vehicle need restoration. This is Jonathan's area of expertise.

Dirty!
Jemer B.

First of all, if you are hesitant on coming to this guy, don't be, just go and see what he can do for you. He values your car even or actually more like it was his! It doesn't matter if it's your old beat up car, or your race/weekend car. I was very well shocked to what this young, very well educated and last but not least HONEST mechanic did to get my car fixed. Communication was very excellent, told me as soon as he diagnosed and found what was wrong with it. In a timely manner, I got my car fixed quicker than what is "amazon prime"in this current coronavirus crisis. As a car enthusiast he went far beyond what I expected, he even cleaned the parts that I didn't think of even cleaning myself. Jonathan has all the equipment, and I highly, highly recommend this guy because he'll do whatever it takes to get your car fixed or even close to running like new! If you find someone that values your car or even yourself, then you're in excellent hands! Apart from other shops where I've got my cars fixed, Jonathan has a premium service with affordable price, very transparent mechanic, excellent communication about what's going on with your vehicle, and very clean and well maintained shop. Check out the shop car, it goes to show you, how well a car guy's interior tells a whole lot on how he works and finishes his job. I appreciate your kindness and awesome service, keep thriving in your business God bless!

I did the spray painting myself, I know it's a crappy job

A+++ Do not let these young men fool you, they are very experienced and really knowledgeable! Jonathan is very honest, and isn't the type to up-sale you! Jovenal autoworks is my go to, and trusted mechanic! I do not hesitate to drop their name when ever someone asks me if I know a mechanic. He recently installed hydro bumpstops on my truck! Welded up some brackets to make it work, and it came out great!! Do NOT think twice about going to Jovenal Autoworks

Valvetronic exhaust E90 M3
Jarek P.

As a euro enthusiast I have been coming to Jonathan for about the last five years for all of my automotive projects, this man came from humble beginnings with his business and is honestly always the most patient and easy to work with individual when it comes to one of the most frustrating aspects of life.. Your car. He has helped me with things as simple as routine oil changes all the way up to custom fabrication on my E90 M3 and I have nothing but positive experiences at his shop. Over the years I have brought Jonathan some pretty off the wall projects and was never met with any resistance whatsoever when it came to the complexity of the job, when I come to pick up my car (he knows I adore my vehicles) he walks me through the install process on the task at hand and breaks it down so that you can actually learn and walk away knowing you had quality work done for your money, HE EVEN HAS A LOANER VEHICLE! How cool is that?! My most recent project I brought to Jonathan was a valvetronic exhaust on my M3, something that isn't to to common for this model and without a hitch we got it installed promptly and on time and he even works with me around my work schedule being in the military. I have referred countless friends to his shop over the years and they all also have nothing but good things to say and smiles on their faces when we go over the new parts installed in typical car guy discussions. Jonathans level of knowledge is a lost art in today's automotive industry I cannot tell you how many times I have personally had a situation or a friend or family member with an issue and my first response is always "Jovenal Autoworks on Miramar road". I would never endorse anyone who did anything less than exceptional work and this man is it. He stocks several of the parts I may need to get the job done and if he doesn't he knows exactly where to get them to get me taken care of, truly a blessing.

Getting the old brakes replaced
Jeremy M.

I brought my 2011 Lexus IS250 for an oil change along with labor to install brake pads, rotors, and steel brake lines because I had provided the parts myself. He is very organized and detailed. Great prices! I was recommended by a few friends and decided to give him a try. He is very professional, friendly, and clean! I would highly recommended.

First off--sorry Theo and Arturo. I dropped the ball and never left a review for all the great work…read moreyou've done on my vehicles over the years. These guys are true craftsmen. They've handled front PPF, full vinyl wraps, ceramic coatings, and tint on multiple cars for me, always with outstanding attention to detail and very fair pricing for the quality of work delivered. I've gone elsewhere before and paid more, only to get inferior results. That's exactly why Monumental Workx has become my go-to. I recently purchased a 2026 Model Y Performance and initially planned for front-end PPF, a few high-impact areas, ceramic coating, and tint. I reached out to Theo through his website, did my usual due diligence with other shops, but already knew I'd likely end up back at Monumental Workx. They're not the cheapest--and they don't try to be. Quality isn't cheap, and if you want it done right, this is the place. I scheduled my appointment shortly after delivery, but ended up calling Theo the same day I took delivery to see if I could bring the car in immediately. He responded quickly and got me in right away. Once there, Arturo walked me through the options and made a great point: patchwork PPF wouldn't look as clean as a full-body PPF for only a bit more money. After thinking it over, I realized he was absolutely right--and I'm very glad I listened. Originally, I was going to go with gloss PPF, but overnight I changed my mind and decided (with my wife) to switch to stealth PPF. Thankfully, I caught them early enough, and they were super responsive in accommodating the change. I couldn't be happier with that decision--the car looks incredible, and it was worth every penny. One thing that really shows their level of care: during the PPF install, they discovered a hidden manufacturing defect in my spoiler. I would have never noticed it myself, and most shops probably wouldn't have said anything. But Arturo pointed it out immediately so I could get Tesla to replace it. Even better, once Tesla provided the replacement spoiler, Arturo personally installed it and made sure everything fit perfectly without compromising the PPF. Watching him work, it's clear he's extremely skilled and meticulous. Now everything is flawless. I could go on, but the photos don't even do the work justice. When I get my next vehicle, it's going straight to Theo and Arturo at Monumental Workx. Thanks again, guys!

Excellent work. Arturo took the time to explain the different tints and tones (how dark). I picked…read more30% on my side and back windows and front windshield 70% all with Llumar Formula 1 Stratos. Expensive but worth it. You will love it. Call 858-291-8200 to book your window tint.

If you haven't tried using Yelp to acquire quotes from businesses such as dash cam and installation retailers, it's pretty convenient and many service type businesses will reach out to you. After sending an inquiry about purchasing and installation of a dash cam, one of the first businesses that reached out to me was DV Audio and Customs. Besides DV Audio, several other businesses contacted me and I immediately decided on DV Audio because of the professionalism and thoroughness of Dennis and Paola. They answered several questions I posed to them and although I probably could have shopped around for a better deal, I decided to have DV Audio take care of my dash cam need solely based on the professionalism and customer service, but besides those much clamored for qualities, I got even more once the job was completed. DV Audio is located in Escondido specifically within a small business park where other service type businesses are located. I don't remember if there were other tenants, but as soon as you turn into Wineridge, you'll turn right into the first driveway and you'll see the DV Audio signage. The exact address for DV Audio is 2080 Wineridge Suite D. The shop can be found by taking 15 North or 15 South exiting off of Valley Parkway and heading west. There are two parts of Escondido where car dealers are located, which is the east side and west side of Escondido. DV Audio is located close to the west side of car dealers. I received great customer service from Paola from start to finish for my dash cam project. Prior to setting up an appointment with DV Audio to have them install a dash cam, I stopped by their shop to ask them questions. The primary thing I wanted to ask them was whether they price match because at the time, Amazon Prime Days were going on. My intent was to buy a dash cam on Amazon and then have DV Audio install it. When I asked about price matching, Paola informed me that they do price match on a specific Red Tiger dash cam, but not on the higher end Red Tiger dash cam. She also informed me that it would be better if I purchased the dash cam from her because then it would be under warranty, which was great information to have. Another reason to have work done by DV Audio is that their business is military veteran friendly and they do military discounts for Army Veterans like me. If you pay cash for the work they do, there is a cash discount and who doesn't like savings. Besides all of these positives, they are also efficient and respect people's time. I dropped off my car at my appointment time of 9:30am and I was notified that they were done at 10:44am. When their technician was installing my dash cam, they found rust build up on the inside side wall of my dash, which I would have never found if not for their technician letting me know. This information was invaluable because I'm going to have the car dealer check it out. Lastly, Paolo provided more quality customer service after the work was completed by spending time with me going over the features of the dash cam. If you're ever in the market for a dash cam and installation of that dash cam, before you purchase, I highly recommend you contact or visit DV Audio and Customs to purchase the dash cam and have them do the installation. Customer service, expediency, and thoroughness from start to finish is why they should be the only shop you visit for dash cam service. I also noticed vintage cars in their shop, so if you own vintage cars, you might want to check what type of service they do for vintage cars.

Paola responded to me right…read moreaway.....two other places didn't act so fast....not that I would have even considered them....DV Audio has a straight 5 star rating...you can look at the work they do on Yelp and it's all custom with incredible attention to detail.

The job was done right....works perfectly and love the care in running the wiring and setting everything up....I got to meet Dennis and Paola both and they are fantastic people. I highly recommended them and when you go you'll see right away that this is where you want to get your work done. Easy to find location. Great work and great pricing.

She ended up going with the Kenwood. Emad explained what they would do and gave her a nice deal. He provided an estimate of how long the work would take, and it was actually completed a little earlier than expected. They kept the car clean, no trash or debris anywhere in sight, and nothing on the floor mats. The installation was nice and clean (see photo). Emad took the time to show her how everything worked and answered any/all questions she had. The shop itself is very easy to find (on Claremont Mesa Boulevard near the 163 freeway) and the show room is super clean. They have a lot of products laid out and you can ask for a demo. Overall, we had an excellent experience here. Service was exceptional and this shop is super clean with a huge selection of products.
