I had a great experience with Michael and The Legend Auto Repair. I actually reached out to him…read moreafter getting a quote from my regular mechanic for $1,500+ for labor and replacing the air conditioner compressor due to the seals. Michael provided a much more reasonable quote, but what amazed me was after I arrived, he opened the hood to show me what was happening. It turns out the expensive removal and replacement wasn't needed. Michael is an honest mechanic. Sometimes as a woman, you're never 100% sure the auto shop is being fair when it comes to pricey repairs, especially when you're driving a reliable car. I would give them 10-stars if possible! Thank you, Miachel for fixing my car, your expertise, and I really appreciated your honesty. I'm recommending him to everyone I know.

5 stars, no question…read more It starts with customer service. From the first interaction, they were polite, clear, and genuinely respectful. They communicate in a way that makes you feel informed, not talked down to, and they're upfront about everything. That level of transparency is rare. What really stood out is the attention to detail. They worked on my 2017 Sienna, walked me through what was needed, and didn't try to upsell anything unnecessary. They were honest, made a few additional adjustments to improve things, and made sure the whole experience felt smooth from start to finish. It's not just about fixing a car, it's about how you're treated along the way. They get that. I'll be coming back here every time.

BUYER BEWARE…read more Unfortunately I had to come and replace my once GLOWING TESTIMONIAL with a now, regrettably revised version, now that I have all the facts. Fact of the matter is that after having spent $4596.39 at this place that OVERLOOKED MAJOR COMPONENTS during my vehicle service as verified by Encinitas Ford I was obligated to update my review accordingly. The facts are as follows; 1) I am on disability and only get $1200/monthly and these people totally extorted me by not servicing my vehicle correctly 2) I trusted them to take care of my vehicle and they didn't (BUYER BEWARE/Careful who you trust) 3) I had to incur EXTRA COSTS as a low income person to inspect their work that substantiated this place overlooked key components related to the service requested (TRANSMISSION SERVICE) 4) After spending FIVE MONTHS OF MY INCOME my truck is STILL NOT UP TO PAR. I will be paying off this debt for the next year and a half of my life all while my truck is not even repaired correctly.

He has worked on my vehicles for more than 8 years and keeps them running well. Prices and turn around are good. Juan up front is knowledgeable and courteous. They always have plenty of work so I was sort of selfishly hesitant to write this review because I don't want them to get inundated with work :) Talking with Josh about your car is always educational, plus he is super fun and friendly to talk with. He definitely has killer skills and for someone as phenomenally talented as he is, he is disarmingly humble!

Call me a fan! After…read moreover 30 years, my trusted, go-to mechanic closed his shop. I was at a loss for where to find another honest, reliable, knowledgeable auto mechanic shop. After a lot of Yelp research, I found Escondido Auto Tech. I brought my vehicles for a smog and got great service each time. Found them easy to work with too. Next, I brought in my car for maintenance and a list of repairs and items to check on. Let me not bore with the mundane details, just know: -they took good care of the car, addressing every item on my list. -Frank, the service manager, took the time to discuss the list of repairs with me and explained what they would do-to make sure we were on the same page with everything. He listens! In fact, when he received the list (which I'd emailed ahead of time) he immediately spotted a safety issue and reached out to me to get it addressed promptly. -they finished the work AHEAD of the promised completion time -took the trouble to score parts at a lower price than quoted (and passed on the savings!) -provided a detailed completed work order with information I about my vehicle that I found valuable. Like I said, call me a fan!

He went above and beyond to help with my bumper repair--he even opened the shop on a weekend to accommodate me and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. He was incredibly flexible with pickup arrangements and took care of every detail, even making sure my car was ready to drive despite being low on gas. Will, the store manager, was just as amazing--he went the extra mile and even washed my car after the repair, which was a really nice touch. Honest, thoughtful, and truly customer-first service. Highly recommended.

The push-pins broke and I was missing some screws (assuming I lost them on the road). I was greeted right away by John. He sympathized with my situation, assured me everything was gonna be okay (honestly it felt like the damage was done to his own car). The outcome was amazing. It looked like nothing had happened to my bumper, fully back and stable in place, scratches nonexistent. Good as new!! Since then I recommend all my family and friends to go there. fast service, fair prices, and great people!! Highly recommend

They also have strong industry relationships that help them source quality parts at fair prices, which can save customers money compared to going directly to a dealership. What stood out most to me was their transparency. They took the time to explain what actually needed to be fixed versus what could wait. The work was done professionally, communication was great throughout the process, and I never felt pressured into unnecessary repairs.
