Auto Repair Near Me

“I highly recommend Encinitas Automotive. I've been going to see Peter and Alex (and Peter's son, Marcello) since 2009. I chose them b/c they were recommended by AAA and my experiences have always been first-rate.
We continue to take our Acura, Lexus and Scion there, and previously they worked on our BMW and Ford vehicles. They are honest, trustworthy, do excellent work, and their prices are always better than fair. Highly recommended.”

“Went here for a pre-purchase inspection and I the mechanic was very reliable and honest, gave many tips on how to take care of the car.”

“Love these guys! They are kind, honest and good natured. I took in my car because my check engine light came on and I was sure I was in for a doozy. Peter and his team diagnosed my problem -- which turned out to be just an error in my sensors. They told me that since everything looked ok, to just go to my cars dealer and buy a new gas cap, since that would be cheaper than having them do it. They said if I wanted, I could even bring it back to them and they would do it for me. I was ready to pay them for their time and diagnostics, but they told me 'not to worry' and didn't charge me a dime. I will definitely be back to them from here on out. What a great business model they have. Truly compassionate for the customer and honest, through and through!”

They always do a great job of diagnosing the issue, and letting you know what your options are to repair it, and how much it will cost. I highly recommend Encinitas Automotive and will continue to have them service our cars.”

“Peter and Alex were super helpful and trustworthy. I've been looking for a good shop that is honest and reliable. I went to another shop in the complex which seen to be unfair and pressuring me for a huge repair. Turns out everything was fine and only had to do only certain things for my car. Thank you guys for your help!!”

“Great place!
Looked after my car when I broke down and AAA suggested this shop as I was not familiar with the area.
Peter took my car no problem and greeted us when we arrived. A real family business and very genuine.
Got my car up and running as soon as they could, the serpentine belt was broken. Would recommend however, mainly because of the area, it is a little bit pricey, but you are paying for quality work!”

“I just want to share my brief but powerful experience over at Encinitas automotive. I recently got into an accident and took the car there for an inspection. Peter, the owner was gracious and helped me get clear on exactly what needed to be fixed about my car. He treated me well and was communicative.

Later I wanted to get a second opinion on fixing the car, and he gave me the inspection for no charge. There's a lot of integrity in this man and his shop and I highly recommend them for any of you looking for a good place to bring your car for repairs.”

“My brother(RIP) was a mechanic and would always walk me through car issues & repairs or ask to speak to my mechanics directly. Since he passed away & can't phone interview my potential mechanics, I have trust issues. I think every mechanic is shady or tries to take advantage of women. Yeah, I know, not healthy attitude. I have to say that Peter and his staff helped ease my concerns. I had the most pleasant experience with them today. I believe them to be honest and fair. The quote was accurate, and car was finished in a timely manner. I plan on doing business again with them. Hopefully next time will just be for routine maintenance.”
