Oceanside Auto Repair

If you are looking for an honest and capable auto shop with really trustworthy folks, look no further!!! I called on a Friday afternoon around 4:30 after just getting worked over at Express Tires (by Rite Aid) and spoke to Mike. Right away he gave me a good feeling, he was super helpful and understanding about my situation. We made arrangements for Monday morning and upon bringing my car in and telling hin the story Express Tire gave me, he said he had reservations about their diagnosis and would give everything a thorough looking over. Well come to find out the diagnosis at Express Tire ($900+ for ball joints and control arms) was COMPLETELY BOGUS!!! None of the work they said needed doing did!! Went from almost $1000 for stuff that wasn't needed to $300 for rear rotor shaving and new pads! Mike and Rex run an honest business in what can be a corrupt industry. Their level of true customer service is refreshing and appreciated!!! Good honest people who do great work. Thx Mike & North County Auto Service!

Rex and Mike are running an amazing auto repair shop! Both of them are very friendly and it is not just to your face; they truly care about their customers and (more importantly) the customer's vehicles. I came in there after doing quite a bit of my own work on my truck (head gasket replacement) and they still treated me with respect when I needed help to find and fix the problem with my coolant system and their mechanic's have attention to detail; he found a bolt for a tool I had cross threaded and after calling me and letting me know I gave them the green like to do what they could to get it out (it was cross threaded extremely bad) and they were able to remove it, fix the threads, and position the pulley correctly for a more than reasonable price. I was quoted by one auto repair shop $1000 to fix my issue .... Mike and Rex fixed the issue and the cross threaded bolt/misaligned pulley for less than half that!Thank you guys for your honesty, fairness, attention to detail and friendly conversation. :) Hopefully I don't have to comeback too often but when I do I will have the peace of mind that you and your mechanics are the ones taking care of my vehicle.Highly recommended! and Semper Fi!

N. County Auto Service is the place to take your vehicle if you are looking for an honest owner and good mechanics.I called every jeep service dealershi and many non jeep and FINALLY found this place. I was lucky enough to speak with Mike the owner and told him I've never had a tune up or brake job since I bought the jeep.I asked to have many things fixed and Mike said they would test them before replacing them and come to find d out what I wanted fixed didn't need to be fixed but my brakes and rotors were dangerously low. I could technically say he saved my life but, I'm thankful they find the problems that need to be fixed rather replace what I think needs to when what I thought was fine.Take your cars, trucks, jeeps here. Ask for Mike he's way cool and hea honest!

Last year, I got my brake pads and rotors changed at Pep Boys and they were horrible - squeaked the entire time I had them and after returning 3+ times, was told by their technicians nothing was wrong. In less than 20K miles, I already started to hear grinding, so I decided it was time to buy some better quality pads.Rex explained that Pep Boys uses after market brakes that didn't fit my 2010 Nissan Altima properly. He said he only recommends Posi Quiet brake pads because they last 30-40K miles, are silent, and come with a lifetime warranty! I brought my car in the next morning (Dec 23rd) and it went right in at 8am. He called me 30 minutes later with the full brake inspection report and his recommendation to only replace the pads because the rotors were in good shape.At 11am, only 3 hours after I dropped it off, my car was ready for pick up!I was not able to pick my car up until the afternoon so they had a section just outside their gate for it to be parked until I could come get it.All in all, fantastic and speedy service with friendly employees. I will definitely be returning to North County Auto Service for my future car-related needs (and next time I need to get my pads replaced with that warranty )

I've been taking my vehicles to North County Automotive for about most things that can go wrong with a car or truck. Prices are fair and the quality and service you get with Mike and Rex are great! a trade not practiced or found with many automotive establishments. My vehicles and I thank you! Rudy

Please forgive me for my delayed review!It's a long story, but suffice it to say that I had multiple bad attempts to get my car problem fixed and wasted money on someone else who didn't know what he was doing and who didn't take the time to diagnose properly before just guessing and fixing something that wasn't needed and not fixing the real problem so that I was stranded again. That person was going to charge me $600 for the second visit for what they were "sure " this time was the problem. I had a bad feeling so I brought it here instead and they spent a lot of time diagnosing first and it ended up only being a very minor problem that was only $35 to fix!! It was not the fuel pump - which is a major repair - it was simply the sensor in my key!! Thank you thank you thank you! I have told my friends!
