I would give more stars if possible! Andrew is amazing-- he is the most fair and honest mechanic I've ever met. I go to him for everything and always get spectacular service for wonderful value and speedy time-frames. Highly recommended!! read more

Was blown away by this shop! Owner was extremely kind, efficient, knowledgeable and offered fair pricing. Had 4 sensors replaced and the work was completed within an hr & a half. While there I witnessed 2 other customers greatly appreciate the owner & the work his shop had done. One lady gifted him a card addressed to his family & a mini tree. This was all met with hugs which proves that his business practices have built long lasting relationships & customer trust. He has been there for over 20 years! read more

Andrew is one of the most down to Earth, helpful and truly understanding people i've ever met. You do need to drive on down pretty early, id say before 7am to secure and spot and you should be set, he constantly busy and will always shoot you a call back when he has a chance. You can tell community loves him. read more

It seems my room mate has to take his car into shop everything after it gas been "fixed". Not sure if my room mate is just that bad of a driver, very possible or is AG seeing an easy mark and makes something wrong, only a little, to keep him going back. Spending alot of money. If there was quality work being done, why would anyone have to keep going back and told same thing? read more

I been going to Andrew for the past 10 years, so this review is way long over due. Being a female mechanic and places try to use that to their benefit. Andrew has always been also with me and really works with me to get the work done at the best price. I actually refuse to go to anyone else. He is a extremely hard worker so keep that in mind that he might be busy the exact day but he will always tell you a day that works for him. What I like about him is his honesty, he will give recommendation but also if he knows it's not a fix he can do or do he will point you in the right direction. I never met a mechanic like this! I would definitely recommend him to anyone single mother , grandma to dad and uncle he is the guy! Im actually on my way to him this am and wondering why I haven't left him an amazing review! read more

Andrew is amazing. A Very honest mechanic is hard to find these days. He helped us a lot and is a family driven guy which is an amazing quality to have for he understands a budget and is priced very fairly. I will always bring my car back here. read more

Great price, friendly and didn't try to screw me over! Definitely coming back for all of my tire needs read more

This is the only place I take my SUVs been going here for over 18 years and never had a problem the guy above must have been talking about another shop because this is a mechanic shop not a auto body/ window place. I wouldn't use any one else for my mechanic Andrew is the most reliable and honest mechanic in east county.

The best shop in town, Andrew is awesome and always finds time and let's you know if it's something small you can handle alone before charging you an arm and a leg like most places will. It's nice to be a woman and trust your mechanic. read more

i wish i can give andrew 20 stars. that's how good he is. it's so hard to find a mechanic you can trust these days and knows what he is doing. finally we have found someone we can trust for all our repair needs. 20 stars : ) read more

This place kept my Passat running for years. Andrew and Aziz were amazing. After looking everywhere in East County for someone who works on Volkswagens, only to be referred to expensive mechanics with attitude problems, I stopped here because they were around the corner from my house. They fixed the problem (radiator leak) quickly and cheaply. After that, I was a repeat customer. They took care of both of my family cars for years until my Passat died a hideous death, after 240,000 miles. I'm convinced it lasted as long as it did because Andrew and Aziz know what they're doing, and their mechanics are honest and the prices are always fair. read more

I've always been hesitant to try a random auto shop, I know a lot of people can be dishonest. I was at the tire shop next door getting a new tire for my work truck and overheard Andrew talking with 3-4 different customers and I could tell he was genuine and honest (even though I was being kind of nosy eavesdropping). I walked over and asked him a few questions about a simple repair I wanted done for my personal car and he was nice, helpful, very honest and gave me a better price than any of the other shops I called in the area. All his customers love him and I can see why now. A really honest guy in this field can be hard to come by, but Andrew is definitely one of them! If you need an honest man to look into your car come check him out! read more

These guys have always been nothing but straight forward and honest. They tell me the good and the bad, giving me cheap options as well as the dangers of cutting costs with after market and used parts. In the end it has been up to me. I ALWAYS shop around to keep places honest with their pricing. Up till now (6+ years) i have never had a problem that was their fault. Mechanics is not an exact science, so sometimes like in the medical field, you start with one symptom and work from there. And yes i have opted for cheaper parts that have then not lasted, but that was my decision. Like restaurants, when there is a constant line of customers waiting for service you know there is something good going on. read more

Great place, Andrew is the best, takes very good of my car and give me advice on care. They are very warm and friendly and do know what they are doing. Been with them 3 years now and going nowhere. read more

I have had my Acura serviced here (breaks), my old tundra worked on and have been very happy. Very Straight forward and awesome pricing. read more

Andrew the owner is the most honest automotive technician I've ever met and he is very very reasonable, he will not try and sell you something you don't need. My whole family goes to him and I recommend him to everyone. read more

I can't thank Andrew enough. Wish I can give him 100 stars for there amazing service & kindness. These guys fixed my engine that was supposedly needed to be replaced, so was said by Evans Tires. I took it to AG auto and these boys had a look at it and fixed it in under a week. These guys can fix your beat cars for such a great deal. Andrews prices are very reasonable and he will take care of you & treat you like family. These guys will be my mechanic for as long as they are here. I'm really happy with the results of my car. Thank you so much Andrew, you guys are amazing! read more

I have taken my Jeep Liberty into A&G Auto 5 times in 2 years for a side window sliding into the door problem. They use cut-rate parts and charge extremely high prices - and have yet to perform a permanent fix. They blame it on the parts but clearly are performing a low standard of repair work with sub-standard parts. They offered last week to repair the 5th incident under warranty and then changed their minds after I dropped the car off to them for the day today - they were trying to slip a different part invoice - for the other door - to a dealer for a warranty exchange and it didn't fly with the dealer. I do not trust them, they are undependable as well as unethical and I would not recommend them to anyone. I intend to file a complaint with the BBB, as well. read more

Best Mechanic in town!! Andrew is the main guy and the man has gained my trust and business forever! I highly recommend this shop with the best quality work! I've had bad experiences with other mechanics in the past being shady but not Andrew and his crew, honest work and man of his word. I come here anytime I have a problem with any of my families vehicles and always takes very good care of us. Thank you! read more

AMAZING! That's all I can say about AG Automotive! I have had my Acura for 9 years and have always taken it to the dealer (yes, I would pay the extra $$ to know that my car was being worked on by Acura certified technicians who ONLY deal with Acura) - However, when the dealer told me that the idle problem, o2 sensor, cat, and motor mounts were going to run me about $3,000 I decided to let my baby die whenever she decided to die...just couldn't see dropping 3k in a car that books 6k. I was pretty much resigned to the idea that I will not pass smog next January and she might die before then leaving me with a new car payment (again...boo!)...then my friend told me about AG Automotive. Andrew is the kindest, most genuine person...not just mechanic, but HUMAN BEING. He is very warm, happy, positive, and LISTENS intently. He immediately knew the symptoms my car was experiencing and assured me I could get another 100,000 miles out of it (that should be enough time to save up for a down payment!) - I dropped my car off the following work day and my friend was delayed picking me up. Andrew offered to give me a ride, but I chose to wait instead and watched things at the shop. Everyone who visited AG (parts delivery, pickup, customers, OTHER MECHANICS) was greeted warmly and sincerely. AG is on the corner of Greenfield and 1st behind the liquor store with the clover leaf in the mechanic mecca of El Cajon, yet HE is the only shop which is busy...that's telling you something! I overheard a parts delivery guy ask him "how are things going" to which Andrew replied "good! busy!" and the delivery guy said "you're the only one...all these guys are crying about how slow they are" - also, I saw 2 other mechanics from their own shops come ask HIM for advice...he definitely knows his stuff!!! In fact, he found the REAL problems with my car in addition to 6 bolts missing from my transmission after my clutch job (other mechanic), glue where other bolts should have been, and other shotty work. Plus, he fixed a screeching which other mechanics took 4 tries to "fix" - Now, my car runs like a dream (I can't even tell it's turned on it so quiet!)...it feels like she's BRAND NEW again! Let's get down to the nuts and bolts: PRICE - Andrew is more than fair...I was going to let my car die because the dealer wanted to charge me so much - Andrew saved me so much money!! (almost 75%!!) Plus, now I don't have to be broken down on the side of the road when I least expect it and it's most dangerous (I work at night). AG Automotive is such a blessing and Andrew is my new mechanic FOR LIFE! **Just a little tip: Andrew is very busy and it's hard to hear the phone in the noisy shop, so you might just drive down there...well worth the drive!!! read more

Andrew and Kevin are the tops. They know what they are doing, work efficiently, fix what is broken, and charge fairly. Totally transparent in their approach and pricing. I ALMOST look forward to car problems. read more

I always bring my VW buggy for an oil change! It's always quick easy and very affordable. They also are very knowledgeable and work very efficiently to get the job done. Can't beat $25 on a beetle for an oils change! read more

AG Auto is a great place to take your car or truck too. Andrew is honest about his work and is always giving a helping hand to his customers. He's the number 1 mechanic! He gives excellent customer service and makes sure you are smiling before you leave the shop. read more

I'm not sure what all the other bad reviews are about, but I had a great experience here! Two tires, brand new at affordable rates and the service was SO FAST!! Awesome job done. read more

Best place in town, Andrew and his workers are very honest and trustworthy. He doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Work is always completed on time . This is an A+++ business. I would recommend Andrews shop to anyone. I wouldn't trust any other shop with my vehicles. read more

Do not trust Andrew the shop owner and his employee named Kevin. They are theifs and scammers. My car had check engine light on so I took it to this shop. They charged me $40 to identify the problem and they told me it took 2 hours for him to identify the problem. The price to fix it was $300. I couldn't offered so left with car. Today I went to different mechanic he checked my car in front of me and took him only 3 minutes to identify the problem. Only $75 and he did fix today. Please don't waste your time and money with this BS owner Andrew and let your friends and family know about him. I want write more in details but don't want to bore you friends please read the other reviews so you can save your hard working earned money. ANDREW IS THEIF scammer very dishonest and his partner Kevin read more

AG auto is one of the most honest places that I know. It's a small shop with an independent owner. He takes pride in his work. He takes pride in making sure that peoples cars go out safely. And he doesn't jack up prices to get over on people. Andrew is the best I've been taking my cars to him for years. I will continue to do so. I hope he never goes out of business read more

We were taken our Vans and cars to this Shop. The Owner Andrew was very nice and pretends that he is helping us for a few months until I actually realized that we've been taken the vehicles over and over for the same problem. Every time he tells us something and convince us that the vans are old and what he fixed before is no longer under warranty etc... They replaced the transmission and after 3 months gave up again, they said they'll check the warranty and after had the van in their shop they said it is not covered. We were waiting for over 4 months then they said they replaced the transmission three times and they recommend us rebuild it. They didn't say how much and they did the work without authorization then gave us an invoice of $1700 and asked us to either pay or would not get the van. We are filing a complaint with the BBB and the Bureau of automotive repair in Sacramento ( Here is they're number if you would like to file a complaint : 800-952-5210 AG Auto is a fraud and Andrew is not honest and he will have you bring your vehicle over and over for more and more repair....Even after claiming that he rebuilt the transmission, the transmission is still bad and we are not using the van even after 6 months and the thousands of dollars we paid for this shop....We are so disappointed with the level of unprofessional-ism this owner showed us. The guy is from Iraq originally and he has no business ethics whatsoever. read more

This business takes too many customers with not enough employees to handle them. Andrew works harder than most people I know, but he only has one employee who only services vehicles and doesn't speak English very well. He has nobody to take phone calls which are ringing off the hook, nobody to keep track of the order of customers and their contact information in a reliable way, and nobody to help him park the constant flow of cars that come pouring into his shop starting at about 5:30am. Because Andrew is so cheap and an expert at diagnosing vehicle issues, most of his customers are willing to just show up and hope that their vehicle will be serviced that day or within the week. You CANNOT get a hold of AG Auto & Truck...you have to show up...that's the only way to get your vehicle serviced. If you're willing to wait, then Andrew might be the right guy for you, but his inability to communicate in a consistent and reliable way hurts his customers' schedules and his own business. Because of that, I wouldn't recommend him. read more

This place is awesome! So, glad that a friend recommened them. They really took care of my PT. Cruiser, without charging me an arm & a leg. These guys are fair, honest & really know what they are doing. So, if you're looking for shop you can trust, this is it. read more

Fraud. This shop Will lie to you and take your money. You 'll end up spending thousands of dollars. Andrew the owner plays a lot of games and he will fool you by being nice to you and make you come back for more work. Stay away. Fraud. read more

I took my 2003 Chevy suburban into this shop on Thursday to have the Rear Axle Assembly replaced, I was a little reluctant to go here after reading the reviews on Yelp, but they quoted the best price for the job and the location was convenient for me, so I gave them a shot anyways. They told me the job would be done by Tuesday. Both Kevin and Andrew were very friendly and answered all the questions I had. Too my pleasant surprise, they finished the job by the end of business on Friday and it was available for me to pick it up at the price promised. It now runs as good as new and I would highly recommend this shop if you have any auto repair needs. read more

As I was looking into the Pennysaver for an auto repair shop for brakes, I came across AG Auto & Truck ad which included coupons for several services. I decided to take it there because it was a good deal. However, I didn't know what to expect because as a single woman I'm always concerned at being taken by auto repair shops. Well, I am so glad I took it there. It was a very good experience so far. They were very efficient, honest and nice. Inclusively, the mechanic gave me back the old brake pads without me asking, an act that made me feel very comfortable. In addition, Terry honored the coupon without any extra hidden fees. As a customer that is very important because it shows your honesty. We don't want to feel ripped off nor be charged extra for any small little detail. These are the reasons why as a customer, I will go back and spread the word as well. Thanks Terry! I went to the one in 802 Grand Ave. Spring Valley, CA. read more

The bad reviews written are a bunch of non sense, disconnect a battery and airbags deploy!! What?? Any person with half a brain knows that's a bunch of bs and posted by another near by mechanic who is jealous because AG is busy, stays busy, and will always be busy because they are actually great people, great mechanics, and really care about there customers. There prices are great and have always fixed my car in no time, any repairs I have had done all came with a warranty that I never had to use , I recommend Andrew to all my friends and family, give them a shot and see how you never look at going to an auto repair the same ever again. Thanks Andrew for all the great years of repair and service you have provided for me and my family you truly care about running a auto repair shop the way it's supposed to be ran. I can't believe what some of those reviews say and the complete non sense and really unrealistic!!! read more

I warn you, do not leave your car here for repair for the day! If you do, you risk high miles, or for it to be totaled by their so called mechanics when they go to do a "test drive". I and a friend went their in his 2005 Toyota Tacoma a V6. While we waited, we saw them almost wreck two customers vehicles by backing out of a very narrow sloped driveway into the street at a high rate of speed. They over accelerated and squealed the tires and then ran a yellow light so as to bolt across the intersection all at a high rate of speed, this with each car while we waited! His purpose for being their was to get a quote on a price on a set of battery cables to be installed and to have them conduct a "test" of the voltage output of the battery! He warned them as to the connections between the battery and the air bag restraint systems, they knew nothing of the airbag system and its warnings as to not disconnect the battery until you disconnected properly the airbag sensors in the bumper. So when they disconnected the battery the steering wheel airbag deployed! I don't know if you've ever seen one of these go off, they leave a mess and destroy your steering wheel, and due to other safety devices, the vehicle would now not start. They claimed the sensors were faulty to begin with and refused to repair the bag system or the steering wheel, nor clean up the interior of all the white powder inside! They shoved the keys in his hand and tried to rush him out several times. He had to contact the owner,who after multiple conversations agreed to fix everything at a substancialy discounted rate if my firend agreed to leave the truck for about a week. Over the next 15 days he waited! Now minus Sundays that was 12 days it could have been worked on, it sat out in the driveway, well a Toyota Tacoma, just sitting unsecured, guess what happen, running rails, and mirrors, and the tailgate with the tailgate extender were stolen, stripped off the vehicle! Now my friends is out thousands of bucks! So he called the cops, the BBB and his insurance agent. Long misery story short, they had no insurance for the exterior of the shop, no so called mechanic qualified to work on Toyota power systems, and my fiends truck ended up being transported to El Cajon Toyota where they worked on it for almost free for him because of how badly he got ripped off at this dive! Uneducated, unskilled, so called mechanics, loud obnoxious, rude to female passersby and vulgar! While we waited their Monday morning exploits talked about between the employees made them sound like high ballin playboys who did nothing but drank and had sex all weekend long, my friends kids loved hat kind of talk! Not! No skills, no restraint, A & G = Agony! read more
