Where do I begin? The BEST mechanic shop I ve ever worked with. They are trustworthy, kind and fair with pricing.I had an issue with my vehicle that another shop turned a blind eye to, saying it s just road noise. Took it to Central Auto and the mechanic dropped everything, hopped in my car with me, and drove down some streets listening for the noise I was hearing.He immediately knew what the issue was a dried out belt and offered to fix it for me immediately on the spot.Later on, I heard another noise. I took it to Central and experienced the same amazing service hopped in my car, drove around, heard the noise, and thankfully it was just a rock in my tire!If you re looking for a go-to place to get to the bottom of what s going on with your vehicle, look no further than Central. These guys know what they re doing!!I ve spent years trying to find a trustworthy mechanic, and finally, FINALLY, I ve found the one.THANK YOU!!

I would highly recommend Central Automotive to anyone in the Oceanside area. They are a reliable, affordable, and customer-focused auto repair shop.

Great service. We were on a trip and encountered a stuck caliper which resulted in no brakes in the back. They got us in asap and we were on the road again within a few hours. Reasonable price too!Service: BrakesService: Brakes

This family owned business is the best most honest place I've taken my cars. Whenever I drop off my car, I know its in good hands and they do the work that needs to be done. I been going to these guys for years and I'll be a forever customer of theirs. Thanks guys.

This is, by far, my favorite auto repair and body shop!!! Everyone is very nice and helpful to each need I've ever had, whether it be in auto repair or body work done. They have always gone above and beyond proving they are the place to go. This past week i was in an accident and i thought there was no hope for my car and when i got it back days later she looked better than when i had bought her 10 years ago! They all are truely gifted people and i'm grateful to be so lucky to have my cars fixed here. Everyone here always makes you feel welcomed and included in the process. I will continue to bring all my car's here while recommending Central to whom ever needs auto repairing and body work.

They used to work on my mom's vehicles for a reasonable prices considering my mother mentality was if it ain't broke don't fix it . So you could only imagine.

Sam is one of the nicest guys out there and honest. Those two qualities are hard to find in this industry. His prices are also very reasonable.
