I can't recommend Zoo Automotive enough! Today was my second time visiting them for a brake job since my SUV was shaking when braking. They called me letting me know my brake pads were fine and recommended not replacing them now and contacting my dealership to fix the rotors since my vehicle is under warranty still with my lease. Saved me hundreds of dollars and didn't even charge me for the inspection! First visit with them 2 years ago was to replace my car battery where they also saved me money! Thank you so much Zoo, you all are amazing and I will continue to recommend you to everyone! :) read more

I took our son's car here for a tuneup. He is a new driver and was going to take his older truck home and start driving it. Not only did they squeeze us in. They were super helpful explaining everything to him. Did a great job for a great price. We will be back! read more

I absolutely appreciate zoo automotive! They are wonderful people and even when I had a semi last minute flat tire that needed patched, Gina said come on in and rhino was very kind and quick to get me out and on my way again thank you guys so much!!!! read more

This is the best mechanic shop in all of San Diego. I drive 45 minutes to take my cars to Erick. He is super knowledgeable and reasonably priced. He got my 91 Mustang back on the road for me. Highly recommend! read more

Zoo Automotive - Auto Repair Near Me - Ramona, California

I would like to say not only did these people come highly recommended they did not disappoint. I was having engine issues over the weekend and started to freak out, imagining having to get a rental and possibly leaving my car at the shop not knowing what the problem was or what the expense would be. I ended up calling Zoo automotive after being pointed in that direction by multiple people and let me tell you it was the best call I could've made. Not only did the shop make room for me after initially telling me they wouldn't be able to see me till later in the week, like most other competitors said, but they made me feel like I could trust their word. I drove my car in, it was diagnosed quickly and I had my car back to me by that afternoon. It was truly one of the best experiences I've had when it comes to auto repair shops. I cannot recommend them more. I'm more than glad I was recommended them by friends, and I stand by their work. I was given a fair price and warranty. read more

Zoo Automotive - Blown coils - Auto Repair Near Me - Ramona, California

I brought my 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 to Zoo Automotive for service and repairs, and they exceeded all expectations. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the entire process. They diagnosed the issues quickly, explained everything clearly, and had my truck running like new again. It's rare to find a shop this trustworthy and efficient. I highly recommend Zoo Automotive and will absolutely return for any future needs! SVRVineyard read more

Zoo Automotive is what Ramona needs, an honest, reasonable, trustworthy automotive repair shop. People ask me who I recommend for auto repair and the first place I recommend is Zoo Automotive. There is a issue that any small town business may encounter, and that's that they are BUSY! There's a reason for that! Customers, lots of them! If you want a great relationship with Zoo, be patient, know they are busy, be willing to let them help their other customers. Trust me, they are working as fast as they can. read more

Great business! Extremely knowledgeable! Very honest! I would highly recommend Zoo Automotive for any type of automotive repairs.

Very nice people. I showed up with a leaking battery that was smoking and splashing acid all over my hood. I had already stopped at Napa to buy replacement and do it myself but I didn't have the tools or gloves with me. Zoo Automotive stopped what they were doing to help me out (and not even charge! ). I had 2 kids in the car, and the 2 other closest garages to them didn't even consider helping at all. Yes, replacing a battery takes seconds, but to stop what you are doing to help out , takes a good person. read more

Took my Jeep there for some work... Wayyy exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended. Thank you for being so prompt, responsive, knowledgeable. read more

Brought my Mustang in for radiator repair. Erick was super to deal with and I'm very impressed with his honesty and integrity. Everyone said Zoo was the best place to bring a vehicle for repair and they were absolutely correct. First time customer and I'll be bringing all our vehicles in for service and repair from now on. BTW, my Mustang has never run better since they took care of it. I highly recommend this business. 10 out of 10 for honestly, integrity and value. read more

Had to go to them because oil changers of Ramona forgot to put the inspection pull back in the rear differential of my truck. Had to put in a used rear differential that one was make a weird noise still. So long story but finally got them to get another one which sounds better than the last one but when I got there the ebrake was pulled to the max, dash cam was unplugged and I found a nice scratch on the skid plate. Zoo is a great place if you want to get more hassle then anything. read more

I absolutely recommend this place for any automotive needs or issues!! I had probably the best experience I've ever had with a mechanic, Erick is the best, kind and genuine and went above and beyond to help me pass my smog, and kept it in the same range as the original estimate, even with additional work. We will continue to use this business for all of our needs in the future. read more

Tony and the rest of the filthy animals at the zoo are simply the best! We won't take our cars anywhere else. An honest mechanic is not easy to find these days, and that's what these guys are. read more

"Goose" at zoom automotive is a good guy to work with. I took him my 20 year old corvette that was leaking oil, washer fluid and gasoline. The guys at Zoo fixed all three. The oil pan and valve covers needed new gaskets. The washer fluid was a bad pump, but the gas leaks was what impressed me the most. I expected it to be a big deal, the vette has two gas tanks and they're connected together by some kind of automotive plumbing. I expected theyd have to be removed to see what's up. Zoo's corvette guy (sorry, don't know his name) found a loose hose clamp, snugged it up and no charge. Sweet. But that's not all. Car was done, drove it home and the check engine light came. Called the shop and left a message. Goose called me back, not once, but twice. Sent my wife in with the car, and that was fixed too. It needed some kind of pump. Fixed, no charge. If your looking for an honest mechanic and good people to work with. Zoo Automotive in Ramona is you shop. read more

These guys are awesome. Honest, caring, quick to fix. I've taken my 2004 Susuki Grand Vitara to them twice now. And both times I have left a happy camper. They are my go to in Ramona. Mahalo. read more

Super fast, friendly and honest business. You do not feel pressured or feel like being sold Into something you do not need. Highly recommend. read more

I had no idea how poorly my A/C was working until they serviced it. Now it is absolutely chilly! Yay!!!

These guys are great. They are very good at diagnosing and correcting problems. Goose can correct computer problems including a full reload of the system. He can confirm that the problem is actually in the computer and not a bad wire or sensor. They have my business! Mike H. read more

Love this shop, my new goto. Goose is the man.

I took my car to Zoo Automotive because I had several service lights on and my breaks were making noise. No breaks required but Rino fixed the remaining items, rotated my tires and inspected my vehicle for free. I feel beyond blessed to be apart of such a great community. Zoo Automotive is reliable, honest and trustworthy. Thank you for taking care of veterans and our community. read more

Zoo Automotive is THE most honest and ethical repair shop EVER!! They are upfront about all costs (that they're humanly aware of) if something unexpected does pop up, they are great at notifying you immediately. I've had lots of work, mainly maintenance, but occasionally big stuff (transmission, catalytic converter) on my vehicles. All my vehicles are older but the guys at Zoo keep them in tip top condition!! Goose is the front line guy......what a pleasure working with him. read more

Awesome guys! Knowledgeable and friendly for a bunch of animals! They've got the tools and know how to get the job done. Its my go to place.

If I could them a 10 star or more I really would. I've been scammed by other places in town and within the county and if I moved from Ramona I would do anything to bring my car to them. I don't have to worry about anything. My car always comes out great, the staff is by far so easy to work with and they have a great attitude. 100 percent the best place throughout San Diego county. You can be stress free and worry free when you leave your car with them read more

I took our truck in for a loud muffler which needed to be repaired. Goose was very polite and got the truck in right way. He took a look at it and had it repaired very quickly . Great automotive establishment, polite and courteous staff, and a pleasure to work with. Will definitely return for our automotive issue read more

Hands down one of the best auto shops I have been to! Not only are they honest but they are fair as well. They also use good quality parts, my car has been running sluggishly for a few years now. After seeing them, I definitely have felt the difference in how my car performs. Thank you to Goose and everyone at Zoo! You are the BEST! read more

This team has always been the BEST in Ramona. I have been using them for years and I'm sooo glad to see them moving forward to better serve our automotive needs. Kudos to Monkey, Bear and Goose. Once you've tried them you will never go to another shop for your repairs. read more

Goose and the crew @ Zoo Automotive are hands down the crew to bring your car for any needs. No judgment looks just 100% professionals. I was greeted immediately by Goose and I addressed some concerns about my vehicle with A/C and other components. Then I look over and it started leaking. He gave me more then fair options later with a follow up call and I put a number in my head but it was allot less than that number. I can't thank the team enough and I will keep supporting this local Automotive shop. They now have a customer for many more visits to come. Not to mention my AC system spits ice cubes now! Thanks for the 100% work to you and the staff. read more

Tony and Goose are Fantastic! We've been bringing our cars to them for over 10 years. It difficult to find an automotive shop that's honest, dependable, priced right and outstanding mechanics but these guys are the real deal! When they opened Zoo last year I followed them here. As long as I live in Ramona, or anywhere in San Diego County, it's Zoo for all my automotive needs! read more

I've had great work done by the "Zoo crew". Their expertise is displayed anytime I need work done. They tell you what's wrong, what you need and how much it will cost. No BS just solid work and it's guaranteed. Best prices too! They have done work on my Chev truck, my Corvette, my Charger and my wife's Manx. All with great result. I travel 80 miles to visit the "Animals" at Zoo Automotive read more
