    Parts to be installed.

    I don't typically review businesses, but felt I had to when it came to Rudy's Auto Help. This place is amazing! The owner, Nick and his mechanic Sean went above and beyond installing leaf springs, shackles and shocks on my 1972 K5 Blazer. I was supposed to pick it up yesterday, but hadn't heard from them. So, I drove over to the shop at about 7:30 PM, and saw both of them still battling to install my Icon 2.5 aftermarket shocks. Surprisingly, they weren't frustrated, like I would be. Instead, they had great attitudes and were determined to get the job done before going home for the night. This wasn't a high paying job, but it didn't matter to them. They were focused on getting the job done. They have definitely earned my business going forward!!

    I want thank Nick Rudy for a great job on my hitch and the price was very good. It's some times hard to find a good service, but when you do find it you seem to remember that in the future, and you get to spead the word. good job Nick Rudy

    Nick has been my mechanic for years. He is up front and honest. I had been looking for someone for a while to work on my car and my brother told me about him and I have been using him ever since. It's hard to find an honest mechanic but I can tell you something he is honest about whatever is wrong with your car. He always goes above and beyond for his customers. I feel like he makes you feel like a family friend and is very personable that's is what I also like about him but his honesty is the most amazing part. So if your looking for a honest and up front mechanic Nick is your guy I would 100 percent recommend him to anyone that is looking for a new mechanic and an honest one with no bullshit.I am so amazed at the job he did no my car it was almost salvaged and now it looks brand new again.

    The Oceanside Car Clinic was the (second) auto. repair shop I called after Niko's Shop at S & R…read moreService Center on Thursday, July 20, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. I wanted to compare different quotes from these two different shops to see the kind of prices that I would be charged on this Brake Light Replacement Service. 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.

Everything you could ask for in a mechanic shop friendly, personable, honest and clearly very knowledgeable. They took the time to thoroughly explain the issue with my car in a way that was easy to understand, kept me informed as the work progressed, and never once made me feel pressured into unnecessary repairs. My wife has trusted them for a couple of years now, but this was my first visit after my pre-paid BMW dealership maintenance plan ran out. The work was thorough, high-quality, and fairly priced. It's rare to find a mechanic you can truly trust, and I'm really glad we found them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for honest, skilled, and genuinely kind professionals. Thanks Nico and Rachel!

When I arrived at the Golden Wrench Automotive Shop at 10:25 a.m. I parked my 1995 Honda Civic DX Coupe Car in the parking lot and walked inside the office.

I always trust Jason to service my car using his many years of experience and Jason is monitoring any upcoming repairs that may come along with my car.

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.
