I had major issues with the local Honda dealership, never fixing an ongoing issue.Took my Honda to Automotive Service Center, and Javier fixed (at a very reasonable price, I might add) it on my first visit.Javier is my new best friend, and I will be returning to Automotive Service Center as a permanent customer!Thanks again, Javier, for the excellent service I received.

Javier did an excellent job repairing my brakes. The day before he gave me a good idea of what the repair would cost & fixed it for the reasonable price of $500 which was right in line with his estimate. He also gave me rides to/from my home since I had no other transport. Javier is a straight shooter that I will go to again with an auto issue.

Wow, very impressed. Quick, same day service, even our Uber driver said their daughter uses this place and it is good. We agree. We found Javier to be very accommodating and professional. We will definitely return when needed and recommend him to friends. Thank you, Javier!

First time I brought my 2018 Abarth 124 Spider Veleno for service. Hesitated starting. Javier diagnosed it was the battery. He was right. Service was quick and the price was reasonable. I also had them perform an oil change. This is where I will be getting my car serviced from now on. Thanks Javier. GREAT JOB!Services: Battery, Oil changeServices: Battery, Oil change

Been to Javier twice. Always fair and reasonable. This time I dropped my Fiat off on a Thursday not expecting him to get to it until the following week. (Especially hard to find Fiat mechanics in our area.) He surprised me by calling on Saturday to say the work was done. Took care of everything on my list, doesn t try to pad the bill with extra stuff. So good to find a competent, honest mechanic.Services: Tires, Engine repair, Battery, Oil change

I appreciate this business for all that they've done to make sure my older car is safe and still running without breaking the bank. They do good work and are honest and reliable. Taken my car for multiple issues. Prices are fair. I appreciate the owner Javier, a really nice guy.

Javier is a miracle worker on older vehicles like my 2002 Chevy Impala. He is honorable in business and terrific to work with keeping my car running well.

I am so happy I found this Auto repair shop. Javier is an honest mechanic. I noticed family pictures in his office and I knew right away he is a good man. I have a Fiat. That dealership in P.S. closed a while back. I was very happy doing business here. Big thumbs up. If you have an import you can bring it here with confidence!

This guy is for keeps. I had a problem with my 2015 Mercedes Benz Itasca Navion. The brake switch needed replacing. He helped me diagnose the problem over the phone. Even though I am from Houston Javier did not take advantage of my situation. He provided honest estimates right over the phone. He does business the old fashioned way. A very pleasant person to deal with, knowledgeable and professional. If you need good reliable work, don't hesitate to bring your vehicle to Javier.

I was so impressed with this lil shop the owner Javier couldnt have been nicer and he took the time to figure out what the noise wasI went there because my car has something rattling in the back and on right rear sidemy regular mechanic had already looked everywhere to no avail. He said i needed it on a lift.Javier the owner ( young hardworking quiet type guy with a nice family) He personally put my car up on the lift and looked everywhere he could. Inthe enda good 20 min later Hesays no charge! since he didnt work on it . iHowever i did tip him for his time and honesty and i will go there again when i need work on my mercedes! I appreciate a good honest hard working family man trying to earn a living to support his family. Give him your business( honesty, morals and values working there) he might not be the bookkeeper but hes a great old fashioned businessman who's handshake is his word and still means something this day n age. I highly recommend this place!

HONEST FAMILY RUN BUSINESS. Javier looked after us so well. We had driven down from Canada and our car was in need of some TLC. He gave us a fair quote before he started work and stuck to that price, even though the job took longer than he had quoted. We were in and out in one day. SO FAST. Our car runs so smooth now - not a problem with the work at all. This is an honest, family run business and I'd take me car back here in a flash. Thanks Javier & crew

I just had my best auto repair experience ever. Choose Automotive Service Center based on other ratings. Needed front brakes. Was told on the phone it would take 1.5 hours for pads and turn down rotors. Got there a 8AM drove out at 9:30 AM. Family run business. They will answer all your questions and explain while showing you the old parts. Very happy to deal with a local business.

The price I paid to replace my A/C blower was good! Happy with that. Friendliness and comfortableness at the business, was non existent. Asked about getting more work done he mentioned, still no reply a week later/months later

Excellent service. The bill for the job came in under the quoted amount. Job came in on time and we were very happy. Customer is an out of town master mechanic who did not have any tools so needed to outsource repair on ML350 water pump. Most reasonable and fair price in town. We did several phone calls for quotes they offered the most reasonable price (we check on the cost for parts.) The phone conversations were a little difficult, but don't let that scare you off. The work and service was good.

Diagnosed the problem and fixed our truck fast, with short notice. We had previously been to a different shop who couldn't figure out the issue, and since we had driven down from Canada a "no fix" wasn't in the cards. This shop saved the day and the rest of the trip! And it was super helpful that they were open on the weekend! Highly recommended if you need honest to goodness service.

I rate Javier a 10 out of 10. My key was getting stuck and 2 other shops were going to replace the ignition cylinder for $300 which would have been wasted as it was an electrical problem that the part was discontinued and Javier cleaned the part and so far it's working fine. I believe most shops would have stopped when the part was not available. The charge for this plus checking my brakes and replacing my wiper blades was $120. Thank you so much Javier.

A friend had recommended Automotive Service Center to me, my check engine light was on and I needed to have it smogged. Pep Boys wanted to replace several things to get the light off for an outrageous price. So I went to Javier and he fixed it for a really great price and I got it smogged, no problem! It's hard to find a mechanic that you can trust. I got a real good feeling about these guys. It's a good feeling knowing you aren't going to get ripped off, I will be back for sure!!!

Gladly chose this Automative Service for all sorts of brake work such as the brake shoes, wheel cylinders, resurfaced rotors with new brake pads. Only complaint a little too slow paced but can t rush perfection. Will definitely keep this owner s business in speed dial for my daily driver as she tends to need only regular maintenance as she is a FIFTEEN YEAR old car.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Brakes

I was in Joshua tree when my transmission started to slip. No one would look at the car they said it would be a week before they could even look at it. I drove 30 minutes with my blinkers on to Palm Springs to get a rental car. While at the airport renting a car I finally got Automotive Service Center and Repair (ASCR) on the phone and he took care of me. He stopped what he was doing to test drive and add trasmission fluid. I thought the car would be dead but after putting some trasmission fluid in there I was able to white knuckle back to San Diego. I am eternally grateful.Service: Transmission

Technician was communicative, professional, and showed me my old parts, and what was worn/leaking. I will definitely be going back here if I need more work done.I had trouble with my car idling or plain stalling. Therefore I looked up a local mechanics and found this shop in the area, took the car in for a diagnostic inspection. He called me within two hours with what he had found, gave me an estimate of what it would cost. By the time everything was over it, ended up being cheaper than the estimate and what I thought I d need to pay.

Was Pleased with Fiat service. Did what they said at the time they said that they would have it ready. No waiting area, but short 5 minute walk to shopping center.

Honest estimates and great work on brakes I brought in my own parts for pads and shoes for drums but bought rear pads instead of shoes but he still cleaned my drums and adjusted my shoes for free since I paid front pad change with my parts.

waste of time and money, he never repaired my car and never did a good diagnosis, he charged me only for a piece of paper that I could have gotten at autozone for free

Rates are good, work is good, and I've been treated fair. These are all things I appreciate in a mechanic.
