I brought my 2021 Buick Encore GX in for a rough idle diagnosis and was quoted approximately $1,108 to replace the valve cover. I was told the cost was higher because the part was difficult to access. After getting a second opinion, another reputable shop confirmed the same diagnosis and quoted around $700 using a genuine GM valve cover. That large price difference left me feeling uncomfortable with the original estimate. I would shop around instead of just going with this place unfortunately. read more

When my mom's brakes burst into tears and said "we don't wanna", I turned to a friend of mine who's forgotten more about cars than I'll ever know. They didn't even blink before they said "GO HERE" (and I'm glad I did!) A Team does an amazing job, gave great insight into other things we may want to keep an eye on with mom's car (it's an older Chrysler), and had the old girl up and rolling at a super reasonable price! For reals, if you value the people riding in your car as much as I value my mom, I cannot recommend this place strongly enough. The team's amazing, their work is top notch, and if I lived in the area they'd be my number one choice for my car (but since I'm just visiting, they're going to be the number one choice for my mom!) read more

I brought my Chevy Silverado in for a suspected parasitic draw on my battery. Aaron and his team worked for four days trying to find the source of my issue with no luck. And STILL only charged me for one hour of labor. I can't describe how much relief I felt when Britney told me that. Good people like them deserve all the business they can handle. I know who I'm calling when I have another issue with my truck. read more

For nearly a decade, A Team Automotive has been our family's and our business's absolute go-to shop for every vehicle we own - from daily drivers and personal cars to our entire fleet of service vans and trucks. In all that time and across dozens of repairs, big and small, I can honestly say we've never had a single misdiagnosis or had to bring a vehicle back for the same issue. Zero come-backs. That alone is remarkable in this industry. Every time we drop off a vehicle, the team takes the time to explain exactly what's wrong, why it matters, what needs to be done now, and what can safely wait. No upselling, no scare tactics - just clear, honest communication and a detailed repair plan that always respects warranties (they've honored every manufacturer and aftermarket warranty without hesitation). They quote a completion date and they hit it - every single time. Even during busy seasons or when unexpected parts delays, they keep us updated and still manage to deliver when they say they will. In four words: Reliable. Consistent. Trustworthy. Quality. If you're tired of shops that guess, overcharge, or leave you stranded, do yourself a favor and make A Team Automotive your shop. Ten years in, they've earned our trust the hard way - by being exceptional every single visit. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Car: 2013 Honda Pilot. 135K miles First time at A Team. Our mechanic of many years sold his business back in June. Had no idea where to go. I found a couple of places online. But when I ran them by him, he said "I don't recommend any of them. Go to A Team." Aaron and Annette do a great job running the shop. Professional. Honest. Up front. Britany (spelling?) was great, too. Solid people. Aaron is a certified 30-year Honda mechanic. When he has the same car as you and is stretching it to 300k miles, you know you're in good hands. Another reason? Our old mechanic now manages an a/c company. He took one of the fleet vans there for a repair. If my old mechanic trusts them, I'm sold. Prices are highly competitive. A timing belt is never cheap. However. Doing it ahead of it breaking, but 10k miles over the due date, is cheaper than a complete rebuild. The original reason was a knock sensor code. Had to r&r the valve covers, fuel injectors and intake manifold to reach it. I will definitely return. read more

I have been back several times for oil changes and I find this business to be one of the best. They courteous and thorough. The mechanics are very knowledgeable. I will go back again and again for my car needs. I recommend A Team Automotive completely. read more

This is the first auto repair service I've needed since moving here about a year ago. I had a great mechanic who I trusted with our European cars for years prior to living in Temecula Valley. As you know, auto repair for German vehicles can be really pricey. After reading reviews, we chose A Team to get a brake issue investigated and resolved. Was expecting the worst considering it was probably the brake system. After getting the car towed to the shop, I figured the next call would feel like a gut punch. Instead, I got a call a couple of hours later to pick up my car. Turns out a thumbnail sized rock has lodged itself between the rotor and the backing plate. It had sounded like brake/wheel Armageddon, yet left with a whimper and a not oversized bill. Trustworthy, quick, and good customer service equals a trifecta for a great auto repair shop. Thanks again and I hope I don't need to see you guys again anytime soon, but if I do, I know it will be a good experience!. read more

Great service ! They squeezed in an AC diagnostic on my son's Silverado and fixed in within a few hours . Family owned/ operated as well. Aaron took time to explain the process to me and the warranty over the phone prior to the service. Office staff was also very friendly and professional. read more

I'm at a point now where I look forward to my truck going to A Team Automotive in Murrieta cuz I like to visit with Aaron, Annette and Brittany. This is a family-owned business and I feel like I'm part of that family. I have a 17 year old Dodge Ram 1500 with 250K miles on it. I've been with A Team Auto for 7 years now. The goal we set with A-Team is to keep her alive and running as long as possible. Outside normal wear and tear and an occasional pump, leak, and stuff you'd anticipate to encounter on a truck with 250K miles, my truck is in very good condition. Mission accomplished. Always. Most highly recommended. Thank you, A Team. read more

A team are the best. My old Frankenstein of a car needed service and wasn't sure what the problem was. A team was able to find the problem and get the job done asap. I really appreciate their professionalism and honesty. They have gained my business and will pay them a visit for all my future automotive repairs/maintenance needs. Thanks again A Team. read more

A-Team Automotive is very professional. Their facility is top notch. Their customer service is phenomenal. They have worked on several of my vehicles. Every time I leave this establishment I feel like I have been taking care of. A-Team Automotive is the most honest Auto Repair business I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend the company for all Automotive issues. read more

I have been trying to let it go but SORRY I cannot. I moved to Temecula a couple months ago and I was looking for a trustworthy place with a good reputation to fix my Toyota Siena 2004 to fix the sound comes from the front wheels and the dashboard lights which were on. Regardless to the amount they charged me which is $976.67 ($598 for labor), However, what makes me put this review is the bad customer service we had and the bad communication. 1- Aeron only show up one time to show me the parts need to be fixed. Rather than that he did not even after completing the job. I do not think this is right. Even the surgeon supposes to talk to the patient after the surgery to check if they have any technical questions. 2- So, you will deal with the lady at the front (Britney) 3- Customer service is not about to offer a water bottle. It is about how to be patient with the customer and show respect in your answers even if the customer does not have the knowledge required to go over the job or even if you do not like them or they are not your target. 4- Your software is not a holy book which everyone must follow otherwise the customer should be kicked out of your heaven. 5- Questioning the price and negotiation is not a crime and it is not as the gas price as you said. That is not right. Anywhere and everywhere the price can be negotiated, and the customer has the right to discuss it with the technical person and ask all the questions. No need to be mean even if we are not your favorite kind of customer. 6- Staying late was your choice and it was obvious that you do that to get your money. Your call to do the payment on the phone and leave my car key somewhere was very bad and gave a bad image about the place. I called the office, and I gave the option to pick the car on Monday as you said before because I was stuck in the traffic because I have oral surgery and I informed the office the day before that I will be in LA 7- I am not satisfied with the way that my wife and I have been treated because she was asking if you charged hourly or how do you calculate the cost. 8- Aeron, I came to your shop thinking I will find the service and the customer service which make me satisfied. I should not be deal with a claim collector. Britney, I will look for another place; as you told us; to check and diagnosis my car and to check the lights and the codes. I will look for the place who can love and respect the customer and welling to build a good relationship. read more

I've gone to A Team Automotive for years now and will not trust anyone else with my or my family's vehicles. They are the most honest, patient and reliable mechanic I've ever known. I had an issue with my engine that I had no idea was so severe. It was so serious that they told me it wasn't safe to drive it. I am very appreciative of them looking out for my safety and well being! I will be a customer for life read more

Will not touch a car older than 1996 no matter the price or task, apparently. Quite snippy about it as well.

I was referred my a friend and so glad I brought it here. Aaron is a really nice guy and did all my front end work at a reasonable cost and my car is riding better than it has ever before! Really cool people and even better work on my car. I recommend you give these guys a call for any auto needs. read more

Great family owned auto shop. They are very thorough when explaining anything wrong with the vehicle and very reasonable in cost. I definitely recommend anyone to contact them if they have any car problems. read more

I have to say... These are such honest people! I called & told them I need brakes on my 2003 Toyota Avalon.. My husband said to have them turn the rotors also, cuz it needs it. Well, they took it for a drive & took it apart. They said we don't need them. A small fee was charred of course for their time. It's just an old car. Do you know, as a woman, every place I've ever taken that car over the past 17 years has cost me hundreds of dollars . Other companies always upsell me. Without my husband present, I always say yes. This was so refreshing. Thank you "A Team Automotive" I will always recommend you. read more

The staff at A team automotive is very nice and friendly. Brittany and annet at the front desk are very helpful and communicative. I had come here once before and had no issues. When I came in to get a quote for issues with my A/C and headlights, they charged me nearly $300 just for the diagnostic of my blower motor and and resistor. Then, they quoted me an additional $1700 to replace these components and to fix two door locks on my truck. Extremely overpriced as they wanted to charge $350 for the blower motor parts when I found them elsewhere (rock auto) for $100. They also messed up my headlights when running the diagnostics as the mechanics seemed to be in a hurry to get home since they leave earlier then closing time. The "off" function on my headlights no longer work, they stay on. Brittany did offer for me to take it back in to get that fixed but I don't have the time as they are closed on weekends. I understand the cost of business and markups but this is just way too much. They do seem like very nice and a trustworthy small business but do not have fair prices compared to market value. read more

The best place for all your car needs. I have visited 3 separate times and always have been satisfied. The shop is very friendly and they do get back to you in a timely manner. read more

Took our car here early this week for a/c repair they solved the problem quickly and efficiently and their fee was very reasonable. Best of all everyone was friendly and accommodating, will return for any future auto issues . read more

Thank God for Annette and Aaron. I've been screwed over so much from the beginning purchase of this car to several mechanics. I was told it would be $1600 to fix my AC and the A-team fixed it for $300. I paid thousands to the previous mechanic to fix issues that probably weren't there :( These are just genuine, honest people that treat you like family! They're going to have such a hard time getting rid of me lol read more

A-team is honest and fast,Had the transmission oil changed,bought a car from Carmax with Warranty and a ask for they can replace my rear axle they took care of it ,called Carmax warranty ,Honda was supposed to take care of that going on two weeks they never call me,thanks A-Team Automotive read more

We just moved to the area and I literally went to 8 different local mechanics to check out their prices and staff. A Team Automotive was the first one I checked out and I knew they were the right choice for us and I was 100% correct. The service is top-notch and the owners are amazing. We are so happy we found them for all our vehicles! They are honest and give a 2-year warranty on their work where every other mechanic is 1 year. Don't go anywhere else. Trust me! read more

Really nice and refreshing to find such a top notch and honest auto repair shop. Annette & Aaron are the awesome owners that are very thorough and will tell you straight up if any work on your vehicle is necessary or not. They just earned customers for life after servicing both our vehicles read more

My car was doing some crazy things. Very out of the ordinary. After 2 other mechanics could not figure out the issue I was referred to A Team. I call and set up a time to drop the car off and did so. After a couple days Aaron called me and explained what he was doing and finding. He wasn't able to pin point the actual problem so he said would keep going. He stayed in touch through the next week and a half. He then advised me what he possibly thought it was and told me he was ordering parts to do more testing. That was the problem. They kept price in mind and gave me options and after receiving the car back it is running better then it has in a long while. Definitely recommend. read more

Absolutely FANTASTIC service!! I have used this business three times now this year and every time, awesome. My car broke down a couple miles from their shop & the owner drove to me & took care of it! The A-Team is a husband/wife duo with a small team who work with him on the vehicles. He is very experienced & knowledgeable. I come from a very small town & this shop made me feel like I was back home, being taken care of by "my" folks. Extremely fair prices, excellent service, with a hometown feel. I 100% recommend this shop for your automotive needs. I won't go anywhere else now! read more

So a friend of mine recommended the A Team Automotive and said they were very honest and reasonably priced. I took my 2015 Lexus to them for a 40000 mile check up to include an oil change. Aaron completed the job and the cost was low! I took my husband's 2012 Mercedes to the A Team, the next day for a free second opinion on some repairs suggested by the Mercedes Dealership in Murrieta. The repairs suggested by Mercedes, even though the car only had 90000 miles, came to a total of almost $7000.00. When Aaron completed his diagnostic exam of the Mercedes, he called me and told me 3/4 of what Mercedes was suggesting did not need to be replaced. In fact, he showed me that a part Mercedes was suggesting to be replaced at almost $1500.00, was actually replaced 2 months prior, as I gave him all of our repair bills from Mercedes. In fact, there was only one item that would eventually need replacing and Aaron's estimate of that repair was $855.00. So basically Mercedes was lying to us and suggested repairs that did not even need to be done, as the parts were like new. Aaron even showed me the evidence, as he had the car up on a platform and showed me the parts! Needless to say, my husband and I will be taking our vehicles to the A Team from now on! Also a shout out to Annette, Aaron's wife who is very sweet, honest and sincere! These two people made me feel comfortable about future car maintenance and repair. I even took several business cards to refer my friends to them, as it is hard to find a honest, reliable and reasonably priced mechanic! Thanks the A Team- Annette and Aaron (Master Mechanic)!

Hands down the best automotive experience I've ever had. They are friendly, reliable, thorough and honest. I live an hour away and will only be servicing my cars here for now on. read more

I recently purchase a preowned car from a used car dealership which is located about an hour away. After the car was inspected and serviced it was released to me but I brought it home and did my own due diligence and had it inspected at a local mechanic shop to make sure everything was ok. I was told it was and the car had no problems at all. A week later as I was driving it home from work the check engine light came on and smoke started coming out from under the hood. I had to have it towed and decided I'd get it towed over to the local mechanic shop that did the inspection. After a diagnostic I was told they found some big repairs that needed to be made which would cost close to $4000. After long back and forth discussions with both the car dealership service center and the local mechanic about what was repaired/replaced/ going through the blame game with both pointing the finger at the other I decided to look for another place and found multiple 5 star recommendations on one of the community FB sites for A Team Automotive. I called them up and spoke with the manager, Annette Pipkin. I told her my situation and although my car was already sitting at the other shop she took the time to look over their diagnostic report and called in her lead mechanic to look over the paperwork who thought a lot of it didn't make sense and offered to do a free diagnostic if I could just gave the car towed to them. Luckily my insurance covered that and I was able to get it towed again over to them. Once they were completed with their diagnostic they were very honest and transparent about what they found on their end, what really needed to be fixed, what could wait and about how long I could wait before I started to have a problem , and what really didn't need to be repaired/replaced (as I was told by the other place) saving me a SIGNIFICANT amount of money from the original quote I was given by the other shop. Not only were they extremely professional, willing to look at the reports without the actual car being at their shop, and willing to help me out in any way they could but my car was fixed and all repairs were made within just a few days of me just literally walking in there with no appointment distraught about my car needing to be fixed so I could use it again. They were transparent with all issues and stayed in constant communication with me updating me daily. Since picking it up from A Team Automotive my car runs great and I haven't had any issues. I'm extremely grateful that the community of Temecula Talk recommended this place and they've definitely earned my loyalty. They even do basic services such as oil changes. Thank you A Team Automotive; you have such a great team and you've definitely earned 10 stars as far as I'm concerned!! read more

A-Team Automotive is so professional. Their facility is top notch. Their customer service is phenomenal. They have worked on 2 of my vehicles.

I highly recommend the company for all Automotive issues. read more

I highly recommend this shop all very friendly people and nice helped me out a lot knowing my situation couldn't have asked for a better experience read more

My husband made an appt for my car, showed up, was told he could wait and he did, the car was finished while he waited and they took care of a brake light that was out at no additional charge. My Husband's truck is going in next. We could not be happier with the service and attention that we receive from Aaron, Annette and A-Team Automotive. They do what they say, and in a very nice way. We highly recommend them. Sharon Prince read more

The is the best small auto shop around. Aaron, the owner, and his wife along with the whole staff are so friendly and have great customer service. But what impresses me the most about them is their honesty and integrity. Brought my daughters car in and it needed a new engine control module. Aaron showed me everything he did, and never tried to hard sell me. He was even helping me with options on how I can save money doing it myself. That's true integrity. I've used him a couple times for various things and will continue to come here if I can't do the repair or diagnosis myself. read more

I do not think I can say enough about this place. We reached out to them after seeing multiple recommendations. They had wonderful customer service. They could have charged us a ton of money to fix things but were straightforward and honest with us about our car. Everyone hopes to never need a mechanic but we will definitely choose them again if ever needed. read more

I took my car in to get an oil change and found out that I needed new tires ASAP! Apparently my alignment was off and my two front tires were wearing out very fast on the inside of the tires. My tires looked great before taking them in, there was plenty of tread on them from my point of view. I thought I had a good 7,000-10,000 miles left on them. I was on the verge of getting a tire blowout had I not taken the car in to get an oil change. Not only do I love going to A Team for my oil changes, I love the fact that they look at your car to make sure nothing is wrong with it. Aaron and Annette are amazing people and truly care about people. My wife and I will always take our vehicles to A Team. We recommend everyone to check them out if you haven't already. read more

A team is amazing! The service is quick and reasonably priced. The staff are very knowledgeable. I will definitely be recommending all my friends and family to get their vehicles worked on there. read more

Got my car to the shop in timely manner. They fit me in quickly. Took my car into the BMW dealership and they told me that I needed over $4k work to be done that I couldn't afford. So I took it to A Team Automative for a second opinion. They were honest about what needed to be done. Great customer service and the owners are wonderful people! Definitely recommend. read more

Aaron has been servicing my vehicles for several years. He always does a great job at a fair rate and is extremely knowledgeable. He not only services specifically what I bring the vehicle in for but makes sure to make me aware of any services I might need performed in the near future. I highly recommended him for any automotive service needs. read more
