Not the best photo, but in line getting the old truck checked!
Robert F.

As always am waiting to the last possible second to get my smog checked. Was able to get right in despite being an unscheduled walk in. Guys are funny and personable. Us vets have to stick together! Anywho go here if you need your smog checked for fast and reliable service (and maybe a joke or two)!

Quick, friendly, and efficient. Look for coupons in the local Ramona newspapers...that will save you a few bucks! Comfortable waiting area with plenty to read and even a water dispenser. 5 stars all the way around.

Came in for the 1st time here as walk-in customer. Greeted with a huge smile from 2 staffs. Great & Reliable service. Highly recommended!

See all

"I cannot say enough good things about RAE. I have a 2003 Tahoe that I had let go for a little too…read morelong--it had a transmission fluid leak, oil leak, and any other leak possible. I needed a rear main seal, and much more, along with a host of other issues. I finally brought it in, and they handled everything with incredible skill. Their mechanics are truly superior. While they might cost just a little more than some other shops, you absolutely get what you pay for here: peace of mind and quality work. The communication is great Loren called me almost every day to check in and give me status updates. She would walk me through other items that needed attention and provide a quote immediately, leaving the choice entirely up to me with zero pressure. My Tahoe came back to me absolutely perfect--everything fixed, including the minor issues I hadn't even listed. On top of that, they just finished work on my 2003 Camaro. They cleared the check engine light and finally fixed a complex front-end steering issue caused by a previous accident that other shops couldn't resolve. RAE Automotive are professionals who are polite and clearly know what they are doing. I have both my cars back, and they are both running perfectly. They are my mechanics for life and I will never switch!

She was very patient in explaining what was going on with my car, and what it would take to fix it. She answered all of my questions, and was really great about keeping me updated on the status of my car. When I came in to pick it up, Crystal was very friendly and welcoming, and even called a few days later to make sure everything was going well with it! I'm not sure who specifically worked on my car, but it has been running great since, and I haven't had any issues. I will definitely be coming back to this shop for future maintenance!! Thank you guys!

I am so glad I found Smogs and Tags 2 in Santee. Ivan (the Great!) took really good care of me and…read moregot my Subie to pass smog, which meant that I could get my tags there and then at the shop. Background: My Subaru Outback 3.6 Limited passed 100,000 miles since my last registration. When it hit 120,000 miles I had that service done, which is basically replacing the spark plugs. Just one problem. The check engine light came on before I realized I would have to get my car smoged. I took my car to another smog shop in Clairemont that I would warn people to stay away from. To make a long story even longer, they couldn't get my car passed. After replacing the O2 sensors it was touch and go because the Schitzo check engine light would occasionally come on. Once the check engine light was off for a while I took it to Smogs and Tags because it looked like I could get my tags right after it passed. (If somehow the car didn't pass I would have been in deep doo doo, because it might have meant replacing the catalytic converter.) Smogs and Tags opens at 8:00 AM, and they are ready for business when they open. After explaining my situation to Ivan, he hooked up the machine they use to smog newer vehicles. The planets must have all lined up because I passed! That meant that I could get my tags right there and then and get on my way. Total time,....30 minutes. Since I needed an oil change and the price Ivan quoted me for the smog was more than reasonable I decided to get my oil changed there. If you live in East County, or just travel through there like I do, I would recommend this independent repair shop because they are honest, efficient and get the job done right the first time. I know I will be bringing my car there future service.

She always helps get our cars in and out quickly, and is always prompt to keep us updated while our cars are in the shop. They're never pushy on which repairs to make, and always recommend within reason. We always feel very comfortable taking our cars here.

I would rate Escondido German Auto more than (5) stars!!!!…read more I've been taking my car to the same Porsche dealership, where I bought it, for all of its maintenance services in the past 10 years. I knew I was paying more because I thought I was getting the best service and care for my car. I was wrong. A couple of weeks ago, my Boxster needed a clutch/flywheel replacement so I had it towed to the Porsche dealership for repair. (The clutch would not engage.) Porsche quoted me a ridiculous amount; 60% more than what they initially quoted me a few months prior when my transmission was just beginning to act up. I stopped by Escondido German Auto for a second opinion. (I've read about their excellent reviews on Yelp.) Austin, the service advisor, provided me his best guess of the possible issues, without seeing my car, based on what I described to him about my car's behavior. He sounded credible and was very professional, and he also gave me a more reasonable estimated quote. I was also very impressed by their clean, open service bays. I took a chance and had my car towed from the Porsche dealership to Escondido German Auto. Escondido German Auto did a thorough inspection and a detailed breakdown of the proposed work on my car; way better job than the Porsche dealership ever did. They also discovered a rodent nest and damage to the wiring harness of my car that the Porsche dealership missed. Brandon, the technician, did an outstanding job repairing my clutch/flywheel, documenting (including photos) the rodent issues for my car insurance claim, and cleaning and fixing the rodent damage. Austin, on the other hand, updated me daily regarding the work progress. He was always accessible via email, text, and phone. The job was completed in a timely manner; within a few days of bringing my car in. They even cleaned my car prior to returning it to me. Additionally, they emailed me a copy of my CARFAX report a few days later; unexpectedly. (That was the first time I've seen a CARFAX report of my car.) Overall, I am 100% satisfied with my experience with Escondido German Auto! Customer service, quality of work, professionalism, trustworthiness, and price are unmatched!! They've definitely earned my business and I will no longer be taking my car to the Porsche dealership. My Boxster now runs, sounds, and feels like a new car again, and I can't help but grin each time I get behind the wheel; thanks to Austin and Brandon! They were awesome! My wife will also start bringing her BMW X5 to them instead of the BMW dealership for service.
