Auto inspection service near Poway, CA

What can I say? Unbelievable service from Dan (the owner)! He personally stepped in and made a horrible situation bearable. Our daughter wrecked her beautiful BMW (which we purchased from Dan). She took it to the BMW dealership and they wanted $$$$ to fix it. I called Dan and he immediately started working to help me out. He studied the estimate from BMW, researched the parts needed to fix her car (way past office hours), and gave me an estimate of what he thought the repairs would run. And it's not a surprise it was a fraction of the previous estimate! Dan set up the tow, ordered the parts and fixed my daughter's car in less than a week. It was short of miraculous! On top of the incredible service, Dan threw in a personal 'car class' to educate our daughter how to properly take care of a car. Dan, we are so thankful and full of gratitude for everything you have done for us. You went above and beyond to help us out of a terrible bind. I would recommend Rev It Motors to anyone looking to buy a car. Honest, helpful, professional and committed are a few words that come to mind when thinking about my experience at Rev It Motors. Thank you Dan. You run a top notch operation. Anne U.

Great service and very friendly. Bill and his team are excellent at diagnosing problems in your vehicle and then communicating them to the mechanically disinclined in open, unambiguous language. Unlike my experiences with other mechanics, I left feeling more informed about the status of my car and felt like I got a great deal, which I did. I was referred here by a friend and I will be referring Bill to all of mine. Malachi H.

Align-Tech did a 4 wheel alignment on my Honda and it's never driven better. I was wearing out my tires way too fast and it always pulled to the right on the freeway. They also did an oil change and the whole thing took about an hour and a half. I plan on going back to Align-Tech.

Thank You Mike! Excellent customer service. You fix my problem in a reasonable time frame at a excellent price. Nice to find a truly "Honest Mechanic" running a Clean shop with with a team focused on excellent customer service. I recommend your team and shop for ALL needed auto services. Again, Thanks for fixing my noisy problem. Ray

My parent in laws were giving us a their old Chevy pickup and It had been sitting in there yard for years without being driven. We wanted to buy a travel trailer if we could get the truck running and in working order to pull a travel trailer. Before paying the registration and buying tires on the vehicle we took it into Grand Garage to see if it was even worth fixing up and if was even capable to even pull a travel trailer before we decided to buy one. I called them and told them that the truck had been sitting at my in laws and had not been driven in years. I told them there had been even rat damage and I wanted a thorough inspection done on the truck, and that we would be buying a travel trailer and using the truck to pull it based on their recommendation. Pat one of the associates told me that I did not need the most expensive vehicle inspection and that it was not necessary even though that the truck had been sitting there for awhile. I told him I did not mind paying for the most expensive inspection because I wanted everything gone through even the engine. After his recommendation we went with the lower inspection cost and he assured me that this inspection would catch everything wrong with the truck. After giving us a price of $6,290 and telling us that the truck would be good to go and be able to pull the trailer we wanted to buy, we then proceeded to paid for the back registration of $1,800 and buy 6 new tires on the truck , paying $1,000. We figured it would be cheaper than buying a new truck. We then went ahead and bought the travel trailer based on their recommendation. When we brought the truck home, and we went on our first local camping trip about an hour and half away from out home, and we noticed the check engine light went on and the truck was running hot and smelled like something was burning. We then took the truck back to Grand Garage and told them the issue. Pat , then told us the reason that the truck smelled hot and the engine light went one was because we had the to turn on or off the towing feature. After stating that the truck did not have that feature he then proceeded to tell us that the check engine light should not be on, and nothing else was done. Then a few days later I drove the truck to work and it broke down and the truck would not start. We then called Grand Garage again and Pat arranged to have the truck towed which we paid $140 for. Once the truck was towed back to the shop, Grand garage realized that there was a wire chewed by rats that they admittedly acknowledged that they had missed on the vehicle inspection, and the starter went out. They then proceeded to state that after we replaced the starter that the truck would be good to go. We again asked you if the engine was the problem and they proceeded to say no that this would be the last repair for awhile. We then paid another $541.48 to Grand Garage to fix the issue with the truck. After proceeding to pay for a new starter and towing the truck broke down again with our trailer and had to have it towed home with a $360 tow bill. We then took it to Grand Garage again and this time they told us that the truck needs a new engine. We have asked them several times to rectify the problem and now they have come back saying that we need a new engine and they cannot do it, even after they troubleshot the engine and told us a tune up would fix the problem they are now saying they cannot do anything. We have spent a lot of money paying for registration on the truck, buying new tires, and buying a new travel trailer based on their recommendation. We feel they have lied to us and strung us along to just get business from us knowing that the truck was probably not worth it. We have asked the owner of grand garage to call us to discuss a solution to this problem and we are still waiting for a call back. It's been almost a week and the owner will not call us back. We have even sent them an email and they have failed to reply. We are now asking the Bureau of Automotive Repair to open a case in attempt to solve this issue. AVOID THEM GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!

Absolutely TERRIBLE. I started calling at 8:00 to inquire about bringing my truck in for a smog check. I called continuously and the phone was finally answered at 8:08. I was told that they don’t take appointments, so I took my truck in by 8:25, at which time I was told that there was a 1 hour wait time and that he would call me when it was done. I left the truck and went home rather than wait there. After 1 hour and 40 minutes with no phone call, I called for a status. He said that they were having trouble with the machine and that they were taking the truck in right now. He should have called to let me know this after 1 hour (Website claims #1 Great Customer Service and #2 Reliability are both FALSE). He finished the call with telling me that it would be finished in 45 minutes. I waited for 45 minutes, then went in to pick up the truck. After standing in the shop for nearly 10 minutes with mechanics walking past me and no one offering to help me (Website claim #1 Great Customer Service is again FALSE), I saw my truck parked behind the shop, so I went to take a look to see if it looked like anything had been done. I found the truck with the door open and the key in the ignition with the ignition beeping. The truck was just a couple of feet from the sidewalk and street. ANYONE walking by on the sidewalk definitely would have heard the beeping, and known that the key was in the ignition. If they had decided to steal the truck it would have been gone in 2 seconds with absolutely NO chance of the theft being stopped. This is INCREDIBLY IRRESPONSIBLE and leaved the El Cajon Smog owner liable to buying me a brand new truck. I took the key out and closed the door and went back around to the front of the shop. After standing there for several more minutes, someone finally offered to help me. I was told that the truck STILL had not been taken in. The guy added that they were going to take it in right now, even though all of the bays were full. Yet ANOTHER lie? (Website

Don't show up after 4:30 PM on a weekday, because the guy leaves at 4:30 PM if he doesn't have any customers by then. The hours on the sign just say 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, which is a bit misleading.
