Auto repair service near Encinitas, CA

I've been going to these guys for years and years, for all my cars. Today I came in to get a slow leak repaired - they did it for free, even though the car I brought in was on its original tires (in other words, I hadn't bought tires for that car at Tire Depot). I also trust these guys to mount tires on rare rims on my vintage vehicle. I think the longest wait I've ever had in all my years going here was about an hour-and-a-half. To top it all off, their prices are extremely reasonable. Highly recommended. Greg McKim

Took my 2012 Nissan Maxima here for an oil change and 115,000 mile service in June. I had an appointment but after waiting 3 hours I left with only an oil change. They told me I needed to replace my brake pads ASAP as my front pads only had 4 mm left, replace my front 2 tires ASAP and get an alignment because there was “uneven wear and tear on my front tires meaning there is a serious problem with the alignment”. Well 2 months later I just took my car into a shop down the street to get my front brake pads replaced and they informed me that they are at 8 mm and need no service at this time. they also said that my tires need to be replaced but there is NOT any uneven wear or tear. This is fraudulent business practice.

Dear Gas Depot Auto Repair, This afternoon I drove my car into your shop after a frustrating week of it starting one day and then playing dead the next. You immediately analyzed the problem and kept me informed - the battery needed to be replaced. A short while later, someone else came to tell me my oil was low. I really appreciate your thorough inspection of my car and your support and responsibility. What began as an annoying situation, turned into a positive experience with your Gas Depot Auto Repair, I want to thank you for responding quickly and professionally, and to let you know that you have gained a customer in me Kind regards, Matt Hannover

THE REPAIR THEY PERFORMED DID NOT LAST A MONTH! THEY TOLD ME TO "BE CAREFUL" WHEN I PICKED MY DURANGO UP (AND PAID CLOSE TO $900) I ASSUME THAT TO "BE CAREFUL" MEANT IF I WASNT CAREFUL, THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. THEY DID NOT TELL ME THAT THE CAR WAS A DEATH TRAP. THEIR REPAIR BROKE WHILE I WAS ON THE 52 WEST, COMING HOME FROM WORK. I WAS GOING 55 MPH ON A STRAIGHT PATH IN DRY WEATHER WHEN MY RIGHT FRONT END SUDDENLY DROPPED, CAUSING ME TO ROLL 2 1/2 TIMES ACROSS ALL LANES OF TRAFFIC, ONLY STOPPING WHEN I HIT THE EMBANKMENT. I WAS TRAPPED IN MY DURANGO, UPSIDE DOWN, SEAT BELT STUCK AND AIR BAG DEPLOYED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY CAR WAS TOTALLED. THANKFULLY, THIS ROLLOVER ACCIDENT DIDN'T RESULT IN MULTIPLE DEATHS. I HAVE INJURIES I AM STILL BEING TREATED FOR 10 MONTHS LATER AND I LOST MY VEHICLE. I DIDN'T HAVE FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE BECAUSE IT WAS AN OLDER VEHICLE. CLAIREMONT AUTO CARE REFUSED TO REFUND THE MONEY I SPENT FOR THE REPAIR --ALMOST $900. LIKEWISE, THEY WOULDN'T REIMBURSE ME FOR THE LOSS OF MY VEHICLE WHICH I HAD ONLY PURCHASED 9 MONTHS EARLIER FOR 2K. THEY DID OFFER TO GIVE ME A DISCOUNT TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR BILL, IF I PURCHASED A CAR FROM THEM. I WOULD NEVER KNOWINGLY DRIVE ANY CAR THEY HAVE WORKED ON AGAIN. GUESS WE WILL BE GOING TO COURT. BY THE WAY.... THE ACCIDENT WAS SO TERRIFYING, I DIDN'T DRIVE AGAIN FOR SIX MONTHS. I DONT KNOW IF I WILL EVER DRIVE COMFORTABLY AGAIN.
