Owner David quickly diagnosed the real issue -- a faulty antenna connection. He repaired it in just 3 1/2 hours for only $380. David was professional, knowledgeable, and kept us informed the whole time. He saved us over $1,700 and got our van fixed the same day. Highly recommend AVS Elite Services for any auto electrical or infotainment repairs. Honest, skilled, and fairly priced!

David is the G.O.A.T. with car electronics. I recently visited his new location (been open only…read morethree days), and even though he and his crew are still working frantically to get the shop setup, he still took the time to help me out with a lighting upgrade on my Sprinter. During the installation, he noticed that a key part had not been included in the kit from Baja Designs. I was able to drive over to their HQ, pick up the missing resistors, and Dave finished the install and got everything working - PERFECTLY. I am so impressed with David. I live in San Diego and I will gladly drive to Escondido, or even farther, just to get David to do the work on my vehicles. Nobody is better with aftermarket vehicle lighting, audio, and electronics than him in my experience, and I have had a LOT of bad experiences with other techs whose confidence exceeded their competence.

Specifically in the span of this past month, after it stalled while I was driving it, I went through 8 mechanics who either refused service, didn't have the right tools, or just simply didn't know what to do with it. Thankfully Chris at Pinpoint was the 9th (and final) mechanic. Chris and George were both competent, kind, and communicative every step of the way. They treated me respectfully and Chris was dedicated to finding and fixing the problem properly - he even notified me that the ECU I had installed by a previous shop had likely been stripped from a junkyard vehicle (that shop had charged me full price and neglected to tell me it wasn't a new part). When all was said and done, I was charged very fairly for both the parts and labor. I definitely would recommend this shop, and I will personally be coming back the next time my truck needs work done as well. Huge thanks to Chris and George

I hired Kevin at Carlsbad Mobile Mechanic to diagnose an issue with my vehicle, at which point he…read moreadvised and recommended a radiator replacement. Before approving the work, I specifically asked in writing whether the parts being used were Nissan OEM or aftermarket. I received a direct response stating: "These are OEM parts." Based on that written confirmation, I agreed to move forward with the repair and payment. After the work was completed, I began experiencing serious issues with my vehicle, including stalling to the point where it was no longer safely drivable. Due to these failures, I had to take my vehicle to Nissan for further inspection. During that inspection, it became clear that the radiator installed was not OEM. Nissan also confirmed that OEM radiators would not present the way this one did, including the absence of proper identification. In addition, the coolant/transmission lines had been modified using generic hoses and clamps--something that would not be necessary with an OEM radiator, which is designed to use factory quick-connect fittings. These findings directly contradict what was promised to me in writing prior to the repair. As a direct result of the improper parts and installation, my vehicle sustained significant damage totaling over $15,000 and became unreliable and unsafe to drive, requiring additional time, expense, and inconvenience to address. When I attempted to resolve the situation, I requested receipts and documentation showing where the parts were purchased. These were not provided. In California, automotive repair providers are required to provide documentation and itemization of parts upon request, including itemized invoices and parts information, yet Kevin failed to do so. Instead, I was told that I was a "nightmare" customer and that I was "giving him a headache." He also attempted to shift blame by suggesting the damage must have been caused by a collision or another shop, despite the timeline and circumstances clearly tied to his work. Since then, my attempts to follow up have been ignored. At no point was I informed of any substitution, nor was I given the opportunity to approve the use of non-OEM parts. The use of OEM components was a key factor in my decision to proceed. When a mechanic diagnoses a repair, recommends replacement, and explicitly confirms OEM parts in writing, there is a clear expectation that those terms will be honored. That did not happen here. I strongly recommend that anyone considering working with Kevin at Carlsbad Mobile Mechanic verify all parts being installed, request documentation, and thoroughly inspect the work before accepting completion.

However, after ordering an exhaust nothing went smoothly. They sent me the exhaust with parts missing (which was noted after install). When communicating with the advisor (Durwin), he would go weeks without an update, blaming it on one party or another. After over a month with my car not in use and a credit card dispute filed, they ended up asking for the part to shipped back to them for which they would charge me a 35% restocking fee. The worst customer service out of all the car parts stores I've worked with on my exotics.

There wasn't even really an apology to me, he seemed more pissed that he couldn't sell me the product and make money, almost like it was my fault he failed to research what he was selling. Finally I dont know why hes gotta lie but saying they didn't remove the exhaust to swap the rear sway bar??? But somehow it also took 3 hours of labor??? He didn't want to take responsibility for my exhaust when he had the car in the shop, only after i left and told him it wasnt right, bullshit man. What an absolute horrible experience and a total waste of my time and money.

From the beginning, they approached the problem methodically instead of guessing. They diagnosed an intermittent electrical short that another shop had completely missed despite keeping my vehicle for over two weeks and recommending nearly $7,500 in unnecessary repairs. Auto Electric Repair located the actual problem, explained exactly what they found, repaired the damaged wiring, and had my vehicle back to me the very next day. Every issue was fixed, including my power windows, door locks, and air conditioning. What impressed me most was their troubleshooting process. Instead of replacing expensive parts, they took the time to find the root cause. Their professionalism, communication, and technical ability were outstanding. If you have a difficult electrical issue, I would trust this shop without hesitation.
