    Kevin was very professional and was recommended by my close friends and family, he provided the best service for my 2015 Mazda 6. He showed me the parts that my previous auto shop were using which were cheap parts and he replaced everything with TOP OF THE LINE OEM parts. The best part was that he offered the best price in town, over $200 CHEAPER than any other auto shop and with a 12 month warranty on the parts which were Rotors, Brake Pad, and Spark Plugs. VERY satisfied with my service, would recommend it to anyone looking for a TRUSTED business. Thank you Kevin.

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.

Brought my Toyota RAV4 2013 asking for fluid flush (transmission fluid and brake fluid) and a brake inspection and tire rotation. My invoice came out to be $800. They charged $165 for brake inspection. I have no words. Tire rotation was $41. I am paying $200 for service that could have been free at other places. I am not saying they shouldn't charge for it, but their prices definitely left me in shock. I am upset. If you want an affordable and reasonably priced place, steer away from this place.

A bit of an embarassing story: Sunday morning, I went to a nearby gas station. The gas pump didn't fit in my nozzle of my Honda Civic 2014. For some reason , my common sense flew out the window and I forcefully pumped the gas in my car anyways. Well, that happened to be diesel gas I put in my gasoline powered-car. Drove it for a mile or two, and it stalled. Anyways, moral of the story: Don't make the same mistake like I did. A simple, avoidable mistake (with a hint of common sense) is the difference between shelling out a hefty amount of money from your pocket. Back to the story: I searched for a nearby mechanic who will take my car in and fix it the same day. Chris' mechanic shop popped up. Seeing that it had good reviews on Yelp, I decided to give him a call. Chris was very responsive and understanding. Even if he had several other cars on a Sunday, he decided to squeeze me in, worked on my car and get it running the very same day. His pricing is very reasonable too; Unlike other mechanics who will try to squeeze as much money from you, Chris is rather honest and straightforward. I'm glad that there are still mechanics like Chris around. I definitely will recommend him to anyone who is looking for a hard-working, trust-worthy mechanic in the area.

We have a good business relationship at his automotive repair shop. Jason completed the Oil and Filter Change with the 22 Point Inspection really fast and it has only taken Jason (30 minutes) to complete this process.
