I can't say enough good things about Best Way Auto Wrecking. My 2006 4runner was diagnosed with a slipped timing chain, I was quoted $10k -$12k at the dealership. Ricardo had it fixed in less than two weeks and it cost me less than what I was quoted. The car runs and drivers better than before, he even got the smog check for it. Highly recommend!!! read more

When I pulled up to the location I was welcomed in a very attentive way. Ricardo and Felipe were able to fix the suspension on my car. I hadn't had any major suspension work done on my car in many many many many years, and now it handles better than ever. 10/10 would recommend, in fact I just took my brother to this shop to get some work done on his brakes. Dealership quality work without the dealership prices. read more

I ran over a curb driving behind the CVS on Palm and did some damage to the suspension on my Ford Focus. I took it to Wheel Depot and was quoted $2400 to fix it. When I told them I couldn't afford that they told me they could replace a couple of the parts to make it safe to drive a little over $1000 but by that time I had they feeling they were taking advantage of me. Ricardo got the job done for $700 AND he met me on a Sunday so I could pick up my car to drive to work the next morning. Highly recommended and will be back to have more work done soon read more

Can't say enough great things about this place and the wonderful Ricardo!! I was here last week because I woke up to my mirror missing on my car. I took him the part, and within 30 minutes I was in and out of there. As a young woman, sometimes it's intimidating or even frustrating to go get anything done to your car but honestly I will keep coming back this place. He was honest and fair, made me feel comfortable and did not hesitate to help me out ASAP! I will be coming here from now on and recommending him to my friends and family. Thanks again, Ricardo, you're awesome!! :) read more

I had an amazing experience at Best Way. Having to repair your vehicle after a crash is never fun. Dealing with all the insurance and the additional costs was causing me so much stress, I delayed fixing my car for almost 6 months. I'm glad I found Best Way because they eliminated so much stress for me by being so efficient, kind, understanding, and just being good at what they do. They got my car all fixed up looking brand new and I couldn't be happier. I worked directly with Ricardo, the owner, to get all the insurance stuff figured out, he was extremely accommodating with my busy schedule and really he just made everything so easy, he took care it all. They communicate very well regarding the progress of the repair, they sent me pictures so I could stay in the loop. Any type of question I had was answered promptly and the time frame I was given for my car to be fixed was accurate. The guys fixing my car also took special care to put some of the belongings inside my car in some boxes so they didn't get dirty or lost. I thought that was extremely thoughtful and kind of them. They really went above and beyond and I will always be grateful. I will be using Best Way for all my car repair needs from now on. They have extremely reasonable pricing, they work with your insurance, they are honest and reliable, they do great work, they are also very kind and caring people. THANKS TO EVERYONE AT BEST WAY! read more

Cons: They are faaar away in San Diego by the Mexican border, so you'll need that 100 miles tow from AAA. I wished the engine he purchased for me had less mileage for resale or trade in value. Pros: worth the drive to get the most for your bucks, Ricardo has fair pricing when it comes to labor unlike other shops. I had called a few shops before deciding to go with him after I got a recommendation from a neighbor. He lets you know before hand if your car needs a part before buying it. He doesn't do anything without your approval. My Kia needed its engine replaced and he did it painlessly and affordable for me. Every other place tried to make me pay an arm and a leg, he was the only one who made it possible. And stayed in constant contact throughout the whole process. Hoping for everything to work out for many years, would definitely do business with this shop again. read more

We have often taken our cars to the dealer to get repairs and service done but after a recommendation we contacted Ricardo at Best Way for a tune up on our 2013 Mazda, as we are taking a road-trip in that car in the next few days, he made a few recommendations and after a couple of messages we agreed on the work and went ahead with the repairs, our car was done same day and when opening the hood the whole engine looked like new, very clean and good prices, excellent communication. read more

My name is Mark. I am giving Best Way Auto Wrecking my highest recommendation! and I don't say that lightly. I am copying what I texted to Ricardo Sunday, 3/31/19 after picking up my wife's BMW X5 for extensive repairs on the 30th. "Good morning Ricardo. I wanted to thank you and the gentleman that did the work on my wife's BMW X5; for your fair pricing and job well done! I was able to get the front end aligned yesterday as you recommended and my wife's BMW runs and drives like new again after the extensive work your mechanic completed. At the risk of embarrassing you, I also wanted to commend you for the way you conduct yourself and your business. You obviously understand the key to building a successful business. True its important to provide good quality service, parts and repairs, but you understand it at the next level; that building a successful business requires taking care of the people; your customers and employees alike. It was very impressive to me seeing you pass along the extra money I offered for an unexpected task to your mechanic when I learned he did an extra repair. I will always go out of my way to work with you and Best Way and will be sure to tell my friends about you! Thanks again Ricardo and your excellent mechanic for an incredible repair job, Mark, from PB" read more

At the end of November 2017, Ricardo and team helped me to replace the engine on my 2002 Toyota Tacoma. They swapped it with a used engine in a timely manner and stayed true to their original cost and schedule estimates. The service was excellent and the price was very fair for both the used engine and labor, which helped me to extend the life of my truck. Thank you very much Ricardo! read more

Great service! Very professional and even better pricing, they replaced my windshield in 15 minutes and did an awesome job! read more

I needed a transmission for my 2009 Toyota Sienna and was given two quotes of $4900 and $4000 which was way too much for my budget so decided to go back to Best Way after 5 years and got a quote for a used transmission that was 75% less!! I also had a damaged rear bumper and they repaired and painted it and it looked brand new with perfect color match. Jose suggested a treatment for my headlights to 'un-yellow' the plastic and fixed them and did not charge me! These guys were fair and very helpful and my car is once again purring. It is a bit of a drive from Escondido but well worth the savings and service. Thank You Best Way! Rhysa F read more

Great place to have engine work done. Ricky, the owner, has helped us with a number of cars we've sent his way. We really appreciate how affordable and fair the prices are quoted. I also take my cars here when we want a full tune-up, i.e...replace water pump, all belts, some hoses, timing belt, spark plug seals, coolant replacement, thermostat, etc... anything that would enable our car to go another 100k. read more

We used to take our car to dealers and other mechanics. We would spend hundreds and thousands of dollars and our car would still not be fixed. A friend told us about Best way Auto. Never have we had the customer service like we have received from the owner, Ricardo. Not only has he repaired our car each time, his prices are very reasonable. He is very thorough when he his repairing our car. He keeps us informed on his findings. He has also fixed Family members and friends cars and they feel the same. If you are looking for someone to fix you car right, then Best way Auto and Ricardo is who you need. Ricardo is very nice and honest.. And he is the master mechanic...Thank you Ricardo!!:) read more

My passenger window wouldn't roll up and I brought it to Ricardo at Best Way. He spent a lot of time troubleshooting it and was very patient in helping to fix it. He seemed to be a very nice guy and charged me a fair price to get it to work. I do recommend him. Thank you Ricardo - David. read more

If you are looking for a trust worthy mechanic, Ricardo is the man to see! He took the time to explain eveything and did an amazing job on our car. I highly recommend Best Way! read more

Highly recommend Best Way! I recently had my motor replaced in my 2001 Chevy work truck. I dealt with Ricardo and had a great experience. The job was done on time and on budget as agreed on. They did such a great job! read more

Angel goes above and beyond to help you out. Can't beat the prices either. I have gone through Angel for hard to find parts and he never disappoints. read more

He's a long way from Oceanside, but when it was the time to get a truck painted, it was well worth the trip. He did a paint job on my son's truck that frankly would have cost well over $5 Grand anywhere else. Plus the body work, brakes, new shocks and a host of no charge extras, it was a heck of a price that no one else could touch. But, despite the great price, the work, especially the paint job was first class with enormous attention to detail. I will definitely do business again with Angel Corona and I'll send everyone I can to have their work done by his excellent crew. Believe me when I tell you, he will give you a great value for your dollar. You will not regret it, I certainly don't. read more

Angel was referred to us by a customer at the Drive-thru Starbucks on Rosecrans in Point Loma. The customer quoted us a price for a transmission repair and without talking to each other, Angel honored his friend's price quote. The price was 2/3 less than our most recent quote. He is not a huge phone guy (that is why 4 stars instead of 5). He did, however, notice that my car was towed to the wrecking yard next door and was on its way to demo when Angel rescued it and brought it over to his shop. His crew found and fixed a couple of $30 things for nothing, and that just made the deal better. read more

Best Way is super customer-service oriented and their auto body work is great. I had a 21 year old car that was totalled by the insurance company and I wanted it repaired. This was the first time I went there, but I sensed I could trust the owners. Ricardo gave me very affordable quotes for parts and labor, and I even added some extra work to be done while the car was there. He kept in contact with me to let me know how things were progressing. Josue did expert body work and was able to make the paint blend into the rest of the car. Everything was fixed and the car looks amazing - beautiful - and runs smoothly. I recommend this shop for their honesty, helpfulness, beautiful workmanship and great prices. read more
