Thank you to Jeremiah for saving the day and probably my life! I had a flat with a huge screw bit in my tire (unknown to me at the time). I was trying to get some air in at the gas station when he came over to assist me. After looking at the tire he said it may have something in it and not be safe. He then offered to have me follow him a few blocks down to his shop to assess. I am so glad I did because he was right. He fixed my tire in minutes! This was all on his day off and the shop was closed. Literally someone just helping others in the name of safety and general kindness. I don t live in Poway but I will recommend this place to anyone and everyone! He is the type of person you hope to be working with!!Service: General repairs & maintenance

Jeremy is an extremely knowledgeable mechanic. It took him a bit of time to figure out our van's problems, but he did and fixed everything. I appreciated his service and kindness.

Jeremy has always been good to us! Fair with pricing and fast with repairs! He's been the mechanic we use for both vehicles for 3 years now. We drive past alot of shops to get to his shop too so that says something about how we feel about his business!

The shop was able to diagnose the problems for my 1990 Toyota pick up. The truck passed smog and now runs better than ever! I will return For future necessary work!

Went there after rats ate the wiring harness. They did great a great job on time and at a fair price. Jeremiah let us know they do repair all automotive issues. I went in today for a mechanical door lock problem. Called in at noon drove over. Sam diagnosed the problem quoted a reasonable price. Was out by 1:30! Make this your go to shop for EVERYTHING! Honest and upfront folks! The BEST SHOP in POWAY maybe even NC!

Great place to get work done on your car. I had 2 cars fail on me recently with very difficult jobs, I am very handy around a car but if you need next level help look no further. Very fair pricing and very honest work! Fixed both of my cars and will be back in the future, hopefully not to soon.

As others have wrote, if I could give zero stars I would also. First experience I had with them years ago was fine, although a bit pricey, however my second experience I had with them was with my 2002 Jeep Wrangler in which they said they fixed a pin that fell out for the air vent switch. The moment I went on a bumpy road it fell out again. That is not a fix. Next time I went, I brought my 1993 Honda Del Sol. When I showed up to make an appointment Jeremy the owner was asleep in the work area with a half drunken beer. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. He proceeds to tell me it will take another week and a half before they can work on my car. When I finally bring down my car they try to diagnose it as something that was not the issue. They proceed to take another week, when I finally call them they say they will try to have it figured out the next day. Another week goes by and I call them again, only for them to tell me it will cost at least $700 all together because they have to send the speedometer cluster to a specialist. I thought they were the specialists but apparently they need certifications to work on speedometers and do not have said certifications. At this point I was getting frustrated and told them to leave everything alone and I would fix it myself with a replacement cluster. When I went to pick up the car I tried to get them to come down on the price since they fixed nothing and took two weeks to diagnose something I likely could have gotten done in two to four days. Jeremy brought it down by $25 which was at least something but really should have been more like $150 reduction since nothing was fixed minus a minor dome light issue I was having. Here is the real kicker though, I shake the mans hand and walk out only to have his technician tell me that they busted up some screw tabs in the dashboard. The man shakes my hand, but doesn't tell me to my face that they broke stuff and DID NOT FIX IT. I will never be doing business with them ever again. They were never a great shop, but they have gotten far worse. Hopefully this review helps people avoid a serious money pit

Jeremy found the problem with my car that 2 other garages could not figure out. He explained every step of what he was doing to find the problem. He and his staff are great at what they do. I highly recommend taking your car to his shop if you need work done.Services: General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Engine repairServices: General repairs & maintenance, Electrical, Engine repair

I had a bad experience here and heard of many others at this location. They will charge you 800 and end up changing a couple fuses and a bulb. Then charge another 800 to fix another small lighting issue that ended up being one wire that needed to be re spliced What? What con artists.

If I could give 0 stars I would, took in a gray 2003 350z and they charged me 600 dollars to replace a bad hid ballast and fuse. Then they tried charging the same to do the same "work." Lazy RIP offs.

Good auto electrical repair, fair price. Seens like a family business, front office sometimes not super effecient. But good work and no big complaints.

Dishonest, will get big bucks out of you from a small repair just because you know less about electrical. Stay away
