These folks put me at ease on my first visit. My anxiety be pretty high at car places so this is a proud feat. They communicated in detail so I felt informed about my cars condition. Will absolutely be back.

Still here but so far things seem fine. My free AAA summer check up found a few items that needed attention. Kind of expected something to be found. Ive been scammed in the past, ( or i should say they tried to scam me while living in new york). Hoping the nice people Im meeting in California are kind and trustworthy. So far so good. Im planning to come back here.

We took our 2001 Dodge Duelly in because the a/c quit working. They said we have a leak in our lines. We had them replaced. It worked one time and quit again. They said we need to replace the heater core, we did. Same story. We took it in again, they said wiring touching compressor, no good. So we had that replaced. Havent checked it out yet, but after $5000$, I sure hope it works when we need it.

Great service teamEscondido Auto Tech has been my choice for automotive service for many years. Confidence in the people who service my car is most important to me. Jim, Frank and Jorge always work toward a good service experience, go out of their way to explain the work my car needs, and make every effort to ensure my visits are as stress free as possible. I have never had occasion to question their performance at any level and have recommended E.A.T. to many friends over the years.

This auto repair shop has the most honest and knowledgeable team in the San Diego North County area. No sales pressure, no scare tactics, no treating you like you dont know anything, no cheating customers for repairs they dont need. Very fair labor rates and they use genuine parts. They know the business and they know cars and trucks. Our family has been going to them for more than 20 years. I first met Jim the owner as a teenager in the 80s when he was managing a tire business. He is an icon in this business and had a great team. You dont run businesses for 40 years within blocks of each other unless you are honest and well respected. Escondido Auto Tech is the best around. AAA rating!

Their service has always been professional and Is outstanding in all areas over the past 15 years. They have made electrical diagnoses when I was out of town and on the road which helped me get back home. They have also made a job site ignition repair on my truck. They keep my wife’s car in great shape, and she is happy. Now that is service above and beyond in today’s world!

I have been a client of E.A.T. for 25+ years. They have been excellent in everything. Ive brought 3 cars to them and all have worked superbly because of the care, professionalism, and expert knowledge from all working at E.A.T from office staff to mechanics. And, when selling the first 2 I got high resale value because both cars were in excellent working shape. Lastly, all who work there are friendly, knowledgeable and want to serve/help their clients.

A trustworthy used-car mechanic is often hard to find. Escondido Auto Tech is the best shop I have found. Jorge Oviedo and his team are honest, competent and take very good care of their customers. Escondido Auto Tech provides excellent service, efficiently and at an affordable price.

My family has been bringing our cars here for >15 years. As long as I live in Escondido, I’ll never take my car anywhere else. They truly treat your car like it’s theirs. If a repair isn’t required, they’ll tell you and they always charge fair prices with no hidden costs.

A month ago I took my 1999 Saturn in for its smog test, periodic lube, oil and filter service, plus a brake check. George, a service manager, called to alert me to a couple of minor items they found while doing their regular car servicing check - a rear brake light bulb was out and the windshield wipers were deteriorating. He asked me if I wanted them to take any action on these items. I had known about the wipers but not the brake light. There was no pressure from George, and I could have done the repairs if I chose to. This was just an example of the thorough, professional approach they use that has kept me bringing in my 2 cars the past 2 years since I discovered them.

An amazing experience all around. After a very disappointing experience at another local shop I was not sure where to turn or who to trust. From the first conversation with Jim I felt very comfortable and confident. They never tried to upsell me and kept me informed at all times. Jim went above and beyond all my expectations. Fairly priced and very thourough. I would recommend them to anyone!

On Wednesday the 15th, my husband and I were in Murrieta when our car started acting up. We drove to Escondido (where we live) and took it to E.A.T. My husband went in and asked Frank if they could look at it. Frank said they were busy, but would try and fit it in. We were told they might need to keep it over night and Jim (owner) took us home. I stated that this was my birthday and what a way to spend it. Frank called and let us know the problem and we authorized the work. To our surprise, we got a call at 5:15 that our car was done. My husband got picked up by Jim and paid for the car ($200 less than estimate) and drove the car home. When he got home, he told me there was something in the car for me. I went out and in the passenger seat, strapped in, was a bouquet of flowers for me. That speaks volumes to the care that the staff displays to their customers and I cant speak enough good things about their character and their work.

Ive had two major repairs done to my 2002 Chevy Surburban with E.A.T. in last 4 years. First one was multiple problems, fuel pump dead, right mirror remote control dead, ABS system was dead, the Auto Idle Control dead, and the A/C damper controls dead. It was a lot of work and materials to be replaced. That was 4 years ago and vehicle had 120,000 miles on it at the time. Everything they did was very professional and no more problems 4 years later. The more recent repair was a month ago, the A/C compressor died at 144,000 miles. They told me the lowest and higest amount it would cost to put it back to factory specs. It works better than new and was fortunate that I did not damage the A/C system more once I heard the chattering noise, so my costs came in under the minium bid. Im a very hapy customer. It is near impossible to find real mechanics today. I know they like to be called technicians now-a-days, but I am old school from a long line of ancestrial mechanics. It pays to use the best
