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.

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.

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!

Should be all you need to know. Just listen to the recommendations they give. Not an ounce of rudeness from anyone at the staff here. If you experience that then I would question your own character. See you guys again! Update: Went back for rotors and brakes. Was welcomed kindly and took me in right away (appointment of course). Full replacement of rotors and brakes took less than 2 hours with top quality service. Great place with a family atmosphere. Will return again and highly recommend them to all in the future.

I checked Yelp and went with AAMCO based on reviews. Free tow of my dead van to their location, and an estimate for a rebuild that was almost half of the other location. Went with it, and it was complete in less than a week. As it turned out, I had to move a family member out of state later that week, so it was going to be a real test. Filled a 5x8 U-Haul with furniture and drove back from AZ with no problem. Then, loaded it down even further, added a passenger, and drove to Portland. Made it up all the mountains and didn't even blink. EXCELLENT job on my tranny rebuild. Couldn't be happier. Give these guys a shot - they do good work.

I was very pleased with the entire service, cost, and quality of work.

For approximately 18 months I had clicking, grinding sounds coming from my vehicle dashboard. The…read moresounds would come and go. The air conditioner worked, the heater didn't. I took the vehicle to the dealer twice for a service review. I was told they were unable to determine what the problem was because the vehicle was not making the noise while they had it. I was told the vehicle has 4 actuators in the dashboard. One or more of them could be bad. To trouble shoot/repair the problem would entail removing the dashboard. According to their service manual that would be a 9 hour job. The cost would be between $2500 and $3400. There appeared to a reluctance to do the job. Several months later I had some routine maintence done on the vehicle at a name brand auto service repair shop. In addition to this service, I asked about them checking the noise in the dashboard. As I described the problem the service representative brought up a YouTube video that described the problem. The video described in detail potential resolutions to the problem. It looked like a really big job. The service representative looked in a repair manual. He advised me the job was listed as a 9 hour job. He gave me a cost of repair estimate between $1500 and $2500. However, he said his shop did not have the staff to dedicate the time to complete a job like that. The original service I sought here was completed. I left. A couple months later, during the day, I saw several commercials about West Automotive Service/Repair. The impression I got from the commercials was, no job was too big or too small. I decided to try them. I went to West Automotive in Escondido. Entering the business I was greeted with a very plesant greeting. I explained the problem to the service respresentative. He seemed to quickly grasp what I was talking about. He said they had completed similar repairs on vehicles in the past. Without hesitation he said, "Sure, we will look at it." I was given an estimated time table for repair of 6 to 9 hours. An estimated cost between $600 and $2500. I left my vehicle their on a late Monday afternoon. They provided me a ride home. Late Tuesday afternoon I received a phone call updating the status. Still trouble shooting. Late Wednesday afternoon I received another phone call update. I was told they believed they found the problem, one actuator. They did not have to remove the entire dashboard. Estimated cost of repair $658. Early Thursday morning I was called and advised the vehicle repair was completed. The cost was still $658. One of their employees was sent to pick me up at home. I have had the vehicle for about 10 days, No clicking. The air conditioner and heater work fine. I am so relieved. The vehicle is a 2010, with 195,000 miles. Owning it for 16 years, I love the vehicle. I have really had no major problems with the vehicle. My dilemma was, I dreaded to think I might not want to keep and repair the vehile with a $2500 to $3400 price tag. Thank goodness in the end, I didn't have to make that decision. Thank you West Automotive!

Smog check comes out to be $78.20 before the coupon (including the certification). While I was waiting, I found a $40 off coupon on their website so I showed it to the person that was helping me. I was aggressively questioned as why didn't show the coupon right in the beginning. He then told me I would have to reschedule since it has to be a physical copy of the coupon. I had to point out the coupon says "printed or mobile". There must have been some misunderstanding because who shows a coupon before paying??? Despite the unpleasant questioning, the service was fast. If you are also coming here for a $38.20 smog check, make sure to present the coupon like your life depends on it.
