Auto repair service near Palomar Mountain, CA

These dumb asses Had my much needed work automobile for over 2 weeks. With the only initial timeline being a couple days. They Didn’t follow through with communication or deadlines. O had to contact them over and over with no response. I Paid extra to hurry parts along and there was still a delay! Its Still not running and according to them my only option was to tow it somewhere else or be without a vehicle for who knows how much longer. Real professional! Get a mechanic that knows what they are doing! If I wanted to pay someone to lie to me and make me suffer and lose money I would get back with my ex! Obviously they shut down anything reviewed other than 5 star reviews. No place exists that is perfect. It’s a sham and a sorry excuse for a good business model. Not a service at all. Just a total bullshit joke!!! My 10 yr old could take the truck apart and rebuild it in with all new parts in that amount of time. Horrible service and lack of respect for the people paying them. Beware!!! Don’t get taken by uneducated swindlers

Advantage Automotive diagnosed my problem, explained the repair needed and had the job done in the time and cost quoted. After being told I needed brakes at another automotive shop Advantage Automotive blew out the brake dust which stopped the squeaking and told me I had another 40K miles left. This shop seems to be looking for long term clients as they didn't go after the quick money selling me brakes I didn't need. I recommend Advantage Automotive. Philip Piel, Canyon Lake

The worst mechanic I have ever had service done at. My car shut off and wouldn’t start and I called because my car wouldn’t start and I didn’t feel safe driving it “well you can tow it” I already didn’t want to go in because of the service even though they have a tow flat, but parents insisted. I was first told it was the alternator and battery, over $800. Two days later the car did the same thing. I called after a couple days to check on the car, Mark answers and is the snottiest person I’ve ever spoke to. “Didn’t you just call on Friday?!” So tf if I did you’re being paid for the SECOND time for the same issue and he charged us another $200* dollars for a throttle cleaning. My car is now even worse after this jerk worked on it, I refuse to let him touch it again. When I get gas now the car will not start and the car is still having the same problem but worse. He is incompetent, rude and a con artist. I will never recommend anyone to this joke of a mechanic. If you want to lose over 1k and your car come out worse this is the place. Im pissed.
