I brought Tony the heads and he did great work, doing the whole thing (resurface, new valves, guides, adjustments, etc.). He also was a great resource for talking about the engine troubles that brought me to him in the first place and had good tips for the reinstallation of the heads that I was doing myself. Also, it's hard for me to get away from work Mon-Fri, and Tony was very helpful in terms of meeting me on the weekends for pickup and drop-off.

Ken and Mike have many years' experience, so they are usually familiar with the problem already. Their specialty is labeled as car electrics, but they appear able to do all mechanical repairs.

Our daughters' cars also have been serviced at A On Auto. Another sign of the trust we put in them. Graham

I had reached out to AutoNation Mazda Carlsbad through TrueCar since they had a Mazda3 in the color…read morecombination that I was looking for. Their sales consultant, Will, reached out to me the next day via e-mail and text and he was just so polite! We corresponded via email a few times and confirmed that they had the car that I wanted and it was still available. I wanted to negotiate a drive-off price via e-mail since I live in LA and wanted to secure a price that I was happy with before making the 100 mile drive out to Carlsbad. Will introduced me to Ash, his sales manager, and after a few more email exchanges, we agreed to a price that I was happy with. Just like Will, Ash was very friendly and professional in his e-mails to me. I was fearful that they would try to upsell me with add-ons, or make the long drive out there only to find out that the car was no longer available, but those fears were unfounded. Once my husband and I reached the dealership, Ash greeted us immediately, knew exactly who I was, and knew exactly what car and what price we agreed upon. No haggling, no bait-and-switch, no upsell tactics. We were also introduced to Will who showed my husband the vehicle for a test drive. Will was such a car enthusiast like my husband that they spent the next 15 minutes just chatting up about all the previous vehicles they had owned. He was such a pleasure to work with! He walked us through the forms and then brought us over to Leo who worked in the finance department. Just like Ash and Will, Leo was super friendly and personable. He went through our financial documents so efficiently too! The whole process at the dealership took less than 2 hours, including the test drive. My husband and I have purchased over a dozen cars through the years and we both agreed that our experience at AutoNation Mazda Carlsbad was by far the best. We spent the drive home talking about how excited we were already to buy another Mazda. This dealership is top notch. I am already recommending to my friends and relatives to make the drive out here for their next vehicle. It was totally worth it!

Beware of RECOMMENDED services suggested by JUAN at Mazda Carlsbad. At my 32K maintenance…read moreappointment (April 2026) it was recommended I do a Brake Flush and a Coolant Transfer. At the time, I declined because I like to research expensive repairs before proceeding. I called yesterday to schedule an appointment based on the 'Service Due' message on my dashboard. My car has approx 37K miles on it now so it is just out of warranty but due for an oil change & tire rotation. I purchased the service maintenance plan when I purchased the auto in National City (another story) so those services are covered until the plan expires next year. Again both a Brake Flush and a Coolant Transfer was recommended. I said 'yes' to those additional services knowing I had time to research typical cost, etc. for those services. Well, low & behold, I discover that Mazda specs recommend a Coolant flush at 10 years/120K miles! In the meantime, I called a local auto service who was APPALLED that Mazda Carlsbad would 'recommend' service that was unnecessary and didn't correspond to Mazda's official recommended service schedule. So, I called JUAN to discuss this discrepancy (recommending a service 90K miles BEFORE it was necessary). I just got off the phone with him and his attitude was 'it's recommended, but hey, it's your my decision'! Thank you, JUAN for allowing me to make my own decision, you little snake! So, even though I called him out for recommending an unnecessary service he acted as if it was no big deal trying to sell me on something my car didn't really need. Now that my car is out of warranty I will only take it there for oil changes, tire rotation and services covered by the plan until it expires next year. Oh, and by the way it appears that their service personnel seems to be different every time I go there... STAY AWAY FROM MAZDA CARLSBAD. THEY ARE SHADY AF.

It came with a lifetime structural and paint warranty. This year (2026) the clearcoat began to fail and the red paint color was fading along the top. Valley Camper had since closed, and TE Motorsports is now the Snugtop dealer locally. To my pleasant surprise Jackie Ricardo, who sold me the camper originally, is now employed at TE still selling and servicing the same product line and likely helping with admin of the customizations TE does to other vehicles. Jackie willingly processed the warranty claim to Snugtop (now a part of the Leer Truck Accessories Group). Took a couple weeks, and Snugtop approved the warranty claim! She arranged a complete paint process with ACM Autobody and Paint also in Esco. That worked out very nicely all around. Thank you TE Motorsports and Jackie! Need a camper or repairs? Give her a call!
