Complete Auto Repair - Oceanside (CA)

1 /5 Royal Magnell: I broke down and had these guys fix my van. They wound up trying to charge me $750 for replacing my alternator on my E350 Ford van and for resetting my fuel shut off switch which is as simple as pushing a button and takes a few seconds. $150 for the alternator and 4 hours of work at $150. They claimed it took several hours of diagnosing. The problem is, I told him it was almost certainly my alternator which any fool could have figured out. And discovering that it was my alternator wouldnt have been difficult. I knew they were lying. When I started up my van I realized my power steering wasnt working. So I went and complained and looked under the hood. I discovered that they hadnt mounted my serpentine belt after replacing my alternator. I waited 40 minutes for them to do that. When I yelled at the boss he offered me a $200 refund. Which I took. But frankly, the entire thing should have been free after that display of incompetence and crookedness. Buyer beware. I should have fixed it myself.

5 /5 Chad Porter: Took my care here for my rake rotors and pads to be replaced. Price was extremely reasonable, and have not heard a squeak out of my brakes since. They were able to do it in an hour, and the mechanic was super friendly. Highly recommend.

1 /5 Juan: I took my car in to have the windows repaired because they wouldn’t open. When I went to pickup my car it was clear that the car had been tampered with in a way that had nothing to do with the windows. There were lights on the dashboard that were not on ewhen I took the car in, the check engine light, airbags light, and a notification of a fuse not working. None of the aforementioned lights were on when i left the car and the so called mechanic that worked on my car had the nerve to say the lights were on the whole time. We argue further but he would not budge and thought that if he stuck to his story I might doubt myself and go along with him but I drive the car every day and there is no way any dashboard lights were on when i dropped off the car. I dealt with Alfredo and he is a deceitful person that lies to your face with no hesitation or remorse. I had to have my car towed because it wouldn’t run even though I drove it to the location a couple of hours before. Stay away from this so called mechanic he is the type of mechanic that looks to take advantage of customers if he thinks they do not have knowledge about cars.

1 /5 Jennifer Effertz: Called for a quick quote for a basic repair, the man who answeted the phone was screaming at someone in front of him while on the phone with me, told me to "just bring my car in" and hung up. No thanks.
