Worst engine I have ever ordered. Had to have the head replaced after installing the engine I ordered and the warranty would cover nothing but the head. Out the gaskets and labor. Would give 0 star if it was an option.

I have been coming to North Coast for a couple years now. They have great friendly service and go above and beyond for their customers.

The guys are California Import Auto are the best! I have lived in the area for almost 20 years and have taken my cars here the entire time. What I appreciate most is the honest advice – they tell me what my car needs and what can wait. Their work is fast and they have guaranteed everything they’ve ever done. I am so thankful for them – they’ve kept me and my vehicles going for 20 years!

Always in good hands!!! This is the only place I ever take both my vehicles. All of my friends get referred here as well. Tim & Chris are top notch and honest! Thank you guys for everything you do for me!!!! Couldn't be any happier!!!! Cindy D. Santee, CA

I had them performed an engine swap in my Jaguar. The job was complicated because I had a Corvette 5.7L engine used to replace the 4.0L Jaguar engine. The job was completed in 2 days without any problem. Other shops that wanted the job asked for 7 days at least. I'm glad I found these guys - they are now mechanic for life. Good job!!! I will highly recommend you to everyone.

dont ever ask for a refund if he doesnt do the work promised. and dont look at him with an evil eye or else you will end up in jail. this sissy lop cant even man up to another man. instead he calls the cops and has person thrown in jail for 'threatening' him. have you ever heard of that?? really a man calling the cops because another man threatened him. what a lame. grow some, chuck.
