The oil change was really good and the service here is phenomenal. Daniel helped us and the price for the job was really good

Oceanside auto repair was fantastic! They provided quick and quality service for a great price. Highly recommend!

Came in for an oil change, and they were reasonably priced, polite, professional, and done in about an hour. Can't ask for much more than that! Bonus: the waiting room is air conditioned, which I definitely appreciated. read more

1 star. Do not bring your car here. I brought myJeep SRT8 in for a valve cover, oil pan, and crank seal job on 5/8. Got it back 5/13, five days for a two-day quote. It was smoking before I even got back to work. Oil dripping onto the headers. Returned it same day, they re-torqued and sent me home. Still smoking. Dropped it back off 5/14 at 3:10PM. Picked up 5/15. Two lights from the shop my transmission started slipping hard in second gear. Turned right back around. Owner Ricky confirmed the slip on a test drive. His first question was whether I'd done aftermarket work to the transmission, trying to make it my fault before we even got back to the shop. Plugged in a scanner, found an old unrelated stored code, erased it, drove it again. His conclusion: "I don't know what to tell you." I pointed out the transmission was perfect at drop-off. He got angry. Said no one drove it, they only idled it. Then offered to pull camera footage as proof. I said let's go watch it right now. He said he had other things to do. This happened in front of my fiancée and two of his own employees. No intake paperwork was made when I returned the car, no mileage logged for the exact period the transmission failed. What I can tell you is the mileage on my car does not support the story they're telling. A certified third-party inspection from the shop literally 150 feet away documented my transmission passing with zero issues the same morning I dropped off. The oil pan job on the 6.1L HEMI also requires physically moving the transmission for access. They did something and when confronted with the proof, they dodged cameras and kicked me out. BAR complaint filed. Small claims next. Update "Response to Ricky, thank you for responding publicly this actually helps me significantly. You identified yourself here as "Business Manager." When I asked you in person for the owner, you said you were in front of witnesses. That is now publicly documented. Regarding the OBD codes : the stored code found was a historical "lost communication with TCM" event. That is not a transmission mechanical failure code. It is entirely unrelated to active gear slipping. Any qualified technician or BAR investigator will confirm those are two completely different things. Regarding the SRT8 being driven aggressively: on the morning of my drop-off, another shop conducted a certified digital multi-point inspection of my vehicle. 31 of 33 systems passed. Transmission was in the green. The only red flags were the exact leaks I hired you to fix. That inspection is timestamped and on record. A performance vehicle with aggressive driving history does not pass a certified inspection hours before drop-off and then suddenly fail two blocks from your shop after picking up You stated the transmission was not touched. The 6.1L HEMI oil pan job requires the transmission to be lowered for access. It does not need to be fully removed to be disturbed. You also claim no evidence exists linking your repairs to the transmission failure. There is also no intake paperwork from my return visit, meaning no mileage baseline exists for the exact period the failure occurred. That absence of documentation benefits only one party, and it is not me. Your building advertises transmission services. You told me to my face you don't diagnose transmissions. Thank You Sir read more

Excellent service. Quickly worked my car into their service schedule for an oil change. I waited, maybe 30 minutes, which is the quickest turnaround time I've had for an oil change. Waiting room is pleasant and staff are very personable and accomodating, answering my questions straightforwardly and respectfully. This is my first time at Oceanside Auto Repair and I'm definitely coming back! read more

My Ford CMAX Hybrid had a dead battery and we needed it checked and replaced quickly. Rick and his family team got me in early Monday morning and identified the issue (new battery) and had it installed within about an hour. I had great service early Monday and the price was great. I found everyone I spoke with outgoing, helpful, and very happy to help. I would highly recommend Oceanside Auto Repair on Mission for your auto maintenance and repair service needs. They do smog, oil changes, and all manner of auto repairs. It is a family run, local business, Rick is the manager and always there to help. And they have a comfortable waiting area! read more

See all

Rick & his crew did a great job! If you need a smog, I definitely recommend you bringing your vehicle here! Very reasonably priced too! Ron Z. read more

great service and timely assistance! everyone was super helpful, explained to me the process and the fee was explained upfront. Definitely a reliable place. read more

My car was having issues with the brakes so I took it to the first auto shop I found near me and was quoted way higher than what I expected. My husband had been to this shop before so I went there for a second opinion and they quoted me way less than the other shop, which was around what I had been expecting. While they checked the brakes they also topped off my fluids and checked my filters for free and then I had a piece of my side mirror panel fall off (not their fault at all) and went back and they fixed it for free. I'll be getting my brakes fixed here and they are now the only shop I'll be going to. 10/10 recommend. read more

Good pricing compared to the other shops in the area ,Great customer service very friendly staff

Very friendly front desk man I had called a few days prior to going in and got a quote from them and was worried because I didn't ask his name on the phone so I could make sure to ask for them or say "hey this person quoted me this over the phone" but he trusted me (plus I'm not a liar lol) but he was very nice went in and got a belt changed on my car took about a hour sat there for most of the time and he offered me water and Gatorade and made pleasant conversation with me overall good experience and good price ! read more

Friendly and professional. Not the cheapest place (not the most expensive either), but they are very professional and friendly. Great conversations and top of the line service. read more

Called Oceanside Auto Repair on a Saturday asking if they could squeeze me in for an oil change. They were friendly on the phone and said a couple of cars were being worked on but they could accommodate my car during their next day of business which was Monday. Came in on Monday and they did an inspection and oil change using synthetic oil. It was done in about an hour. They recommended that I change the cabin filter at some point but didn't try to push for it to be done. I liked that they ample parking and have several chairs and a TV in the indoor waiting area. It was an overall positive experience! read more

I was a customer here for several years. I never had a problem; was happy with the service. Recommended the shop to others. Not now. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE. If you read the positive reviews, they are bull shit. Read the 1 star reviews. I spent $6k to have an engine installed. I was assured by RICK, that it was tested. Good to go. I drove it to New Mexico and back, 1600 miles and the check engine light is on . The engine oil is dry. I figured out later that the engine burns a qt. every 500 miles. I stopped at a Penzoil station, they said it was dry. They filled it up. I took it back, and Rick Says "It needs a higher viuscosity oil" Then he tries to charge me for the oil change . Refused to look at the engine. I have brought back twice, and RICK has refused to look it at it. " Oh, we checked it out. It was good" The worst thing about this I feel like a chump for trusting them. Let them change your oil, do your smog if want. Its cheaper other places. read more

Moshi was very cordial and friendly on the phone. I explained my situation and took my car in. I brought in a list that a mobile mechanic assessed. Ricki one of the mechanic said I needed tires and a new battery, too! I asked a gentleman sitting in the reception area if he'd recommend this place and he said yes. So I went with his recommendation. I picked up my car a few days later and viola!! The submitted a of things that I was aware of. My car has about 263k miles. It's running great now!! I paid a good price. It's better than buying a new car lol!! I found them efficient. Thank you!! read more

Rick is the absolute best!!! I am a girl that has no idea about cars at all. He did not try to take advantage at all. He is a very honest and genuine mechanic. 10/10 recommend!!!!! My car is running better than ever read more

I went to this shop today because I needed the left side outside cover to be screwed. I walked in to the shop without any appointment, they helped me right away and they screwed the cover for me without charging me! Then I noticed this squeezing sound in my car when I was driving. They took my car for a ride and told me that it wasn't something that will affect the safety of driving. They offered to do a diagnose for my car but because I was in a hurry so I refused. Overall, they are very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place! read more

I got my truck smogged here and the service was amazing! The workers were very helpful and inviting and it was very quick as well!

I received a phone call on my Apple IPhone XR today at 2:30 p. m. from Victor who works in their office. Victor said that my mom's 1998 Honda Accord LX Sedan Car on the Driver's Side Power Mirror Area covering this surrounding area is finished by Baha Auto Body Shop and it has been re-painted a (silver metallic paint color) and her car is ready. Victor said I can pick up my mom's car now and also I need to pay him the $150.00 in CASH that is total bill. I said okay thank you very much Victor. I will have to call a Uber driver to pick me up at my house and drive me over to their Oceanside Auto Repair Shop as soon as a Uber Driver is dispatched out to my home from their operator. I locked up my house. Then I waited outside in front of my home for Shelia to arrive at home to pick me up and drive me over to this Oceanside Auto Repair Shop. Shelia arrived at my home at 4:27 p. m. and this shop closes at 5 p.m. I hoped that Shelia would arrive before this Oceanside Auto Repair Shop is closed. Then I put on my face mask outside of her SUV and then I opened up the side door and got into the back seat. I put on my seat belt. Shelia asked me, what is the address that she will be driving to? I told her the address is 3582 Mission Avenue and it is the Oceanside Auto Repair Shop. The traffic after 4 p. m. was really backed up really bad on this main highway on Mission Avenue tonight. I told Shelia I hope she makes it to this shop because I have to pick up my mom's car tonight and I also have to pay Victor my bill. Shelia said don't worry she will drive faster so she will be able to arrive before this shop closes at 5 p. m. I said thank you Shelia. Shelia arrived at the Oceanside Auto Repair Shop at 4:50 p. m. I told her to drive to the side of this shop and then turn left and then she can drop me off in front of this shop. I had 10 minutes remaining before this shop was going to close at 5 p.m. tonight. Shelia told me that she wants to be paid a Tip from her customers but sometimes she is NOT paid anything. Shelia also said she would prefer to be paid her Tip in CASH. Everyone loves Cash. I told Shelia I frequently pay these Uber drivers who have given me (excellent customer service). I looked in my wallet and I only had $3.00 in CASH. I told Shelia I don't have the $5.00 in CASH to Tip her. Shelia said it's okay and she will accept the $3.00 in CASH so I gave her the Tip of $3.00. Then I exited her SUV. Then I walked toward the office and walked inside and I said Victor. Victor said he wants to show me the (completed work) that one of the Baha Auto Body technicians re-painted the Driver's Side Power Mirror surrounding area. Victor said it was difficult to perform an (exact Paint match on this Silver Metallic Paint on my mom's 1998 Honda Accord LX Sedan Car) due to her car is 22 years old and this paint on her car has faded over the years. Victor also told me that the Driver's Side Power Mirror Part was removed (twice) from my mom's car because one of their technicians at the Baha Auto Body Shop wanted to have an (Exact Match) on the Silver Metallic Paint on my mom's car. I was really very HAPPY because Baha Auto Body Shop did an AMAZING JOB due to the Silver Metallic Paint was an Exact Match and it was really shiny and beautiful. I will take some (photos this morning) and ( I will post these photos on the completed work from Baha Auto Body Shop) for their fantastic work that one of their technicians has done in the doing an (Exact Paint Match and Re-Painting the Driver's Side Power Mirror in the surrounding area). Baha Auto Body Shop deserves the full the credit for doing a wonderful job. My mom's car was in their shop for 4 and one half days. However, Victor told me last night that Danny one of their A. S.E. Mechanic's removed the driver's side mirror for Baha Auto Body Shop. I walked into the office with Victor and Victor printed out 2 copies of the Invoice he typed up earlier today. Victor asked me to read the information on this invoice before I signed my name and put today date on it. I read all this necessary information and then I signed my name and put today's date on this invoice. Victor took the original copy for their shop's records and then Victor gave me my copy for my reference. The only con I see at this shop is Jack the owner's son said they don't accept appointments because their shop works better that way. Jack said their shop is operated on a first come and first serve basis. I don't like this method. I like appointments. Then I took out the $150.00 in CASH out of my wallet, I gave this money to Victor. I saw Victor taking the $100.00 and the $50.00 money in CASH, he raised both of these bills in the air to see if this money was counterfeit. I said to Victor that money is REAL and it isn't counterfeit. Victor laughed and then he said it's his job. Then I drove my mom's car to my home tonight. read more

Rick and Moshi and the entire team here are what you need and look for when you take your car to a mechanic shop. When I took my car here for the very first time, Rick noticed some minor leaks, not only did he tell me, he also put my car back up in the air so I can take a look myself. That goes along way for me and trusting a place to take care of your car. Their customer service is next level, always professional and very detailed with the information they provide about any car issues you may have. They value you not only as a customer but as a friend. The work they do is top notch. They are always on time, they communicate great, and their shop is clean and very organized. Stoked I found this place. read more

Rick and his team were so kind and helpful! Serviced my AC and even fixed a dent in my bumper. Will definitely be back! Thank you guys!

Needed a rush smog check on a Saturday since I'm lame and didn't read my DMV renewal thoroughly... so days away from renewal deadline! Calling all over, these guys were open and available! Nothing could have been easier. Well I guess I should say, once I found the place. It was a little tucked in amongst some other fix it shops. But found it! Drove in the little parking lot, gentleman greeted me in the lot, sent me into the little office to do the paperwork. While they did the testing, hung out on a couch in the office. Please note, they do not have free WiFi, you know - for Yelp check in of course!! But it didn't matter too much because I was done and out of there within a half hour. This place also sends the results directly to the DMV which is very nice. So once again my procrastination tendencies did not adversely affect my life! Thank you Khama gods! I will pay it forward! read more
