    Fresh oil change and fresh scratch.  (Scratch below handle)
    Orrin S.

    If a finger can remove dust. What keeps an object capable of penetrating clear coat, paint, primer, and metal. From removing dust. ? You cannot say from simply viewing these photos that there is "dust over the scratch" the particles that you see at the edge of scratch are displaced materials as listed above. I again reinforce the complete lack of accountability by this establishment. Future customers may way to take photos of their vehicles before risking service. Once again, the finger was ran over the scratch to show the employee that this was not a simple smudge. The presence of dust makes no sense unless you can prove that there is dust on the obviously fresh metal gouge. The employee took no photos for documentation while I was on site and immediately identified this when my vehicle was pulled out for me. (See business sign above my car). The only guidance from the employee upon this discovery was " we will have to wait until Monday to see the parking lot footage" There is zero expectation of reimbursement by this business judging by the interactions. My only hope is that this serves as a warning to potential future customers.

    Peter not only started looking at it immediately, he cleared a bay in his shop and then identified the issue.

    The dashboard indicator showed brakes and pad with message to take my car to the repair shop…read more The usual mechanic is always busy and there's a 2 month wait to get service. I can't wait, after searching and getting quotes on Yelp, I based my selection on credible positive reviews and chose Phan Auto Repair shop in Mira Mesa. I usually go to bigger established shops, but sometimes those shops are notorious for being dishonest about parts and labor costs $$$$. And every time I take my car to a dealer for repairs, they want to buy my current car and sell me a new car, which is their mission, other than overcharge. This shop is in Mira Mesa, not fancy by any means: the waiting area was very dirty, no air conditioning, and not enough space as the seats were crammed up. My objective was to drop off my car for brakes repair and dash out. There were 3 guys working at Phan, I spoke to Dave and Lai. I had previously texted via Yelp and their response was faster than their competitors, in fact a shop across the street quoted me $300-$400 more!! They answered all my questions, concerns and after 4 hours, installed OEM brake routers, pads and sensors on my MBZ. During that time, I took a Lyft to UTC and watched a 3 hrs movie: Odyssey, had lunch and shopped. Shortly thereafter, I got a call saying my car was ready. Upon paying, I made sure my receipt clearly included a warranty. Be aware there is a 3% fee if you pay with a credit card. But I was glad new brakes routers, pads and scensors were installed at a reasonable price. Thanks to Yelp and Yelpers reviews about this shop. Glad there is no brake squeak and will keep my fingers crossed about this recent brake work as I had an overall positive experience from this great shop Phan's Auto Repair.

    I was able to set up a quick oil change appointment the same day I called. Everyone at Phans…read more(customer service at the front and the mechanic who worked on my car) were very efficient with time. Price quotes are very reasonable and they are transparent about everything. They don't try to oversell you on things or find additional issues (unless you ask them to check out your concerns). Highly recommend!

    Great service at the Carmel Mountain Valvoline location. I came here because of the reviews, and…read moreI'm glad I did. Chase, the assistant manager, helped me a lot. He was very knowledgeable, professional, humble, kind, and took the time to explain everything step by step. The whole team knew what they were doing, worked cleanly, and stayed well-coordinated throughout the service. They completed everything correctly, topped off the fluids, explained the process clearly, and the price was good. You can also go on the website and get a $15 discount coupon. Overall, I had a great experience and I don't see any issues. I would definitely recommend this location.

    I would avoid and beware. I have now experienced the same issue on two different cars…read more First car: 3 years ago we had Valvoline replace the battery in a car. One year ago we discovered that Valvoline installed a battery that was too small, even though they invoiced me for the larger battery. After a lot of back and forth, they finally agreed to replace. Then, while doing the replacement they broke one of the attachments to the battery. A headache. Second car: Again, Valvoline replaced the battery about two years ago. After taking the car to a reputable mechanic for some issues, we again learned that Valvoline installed a battery that was too small for the car. I did not write a review the first time, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Now I can only conclude that this is their practice.

    I can't recommend European Autocare and One Stop Shop highly enough…read more I was first introduced to European Autocare when AAA towed my Porsche Cayenne there after a strange issue where the audio system kept shutting down and draining the battery. The AAA driver recommended the shop, and I'm so glad he did. George, the owner, is a genuinely kind and honest gentleman. He spent about 20 minutes carefully diagnosing the problem and told me, very transparently, that it wasn't something his shop could fix--that I would need to go to the dealer for a replacement part. He didn't charge me a dime for his time. That level of honesty is rare. Since then, I've been going to him for regular maintenance on my older vehicle, and every experience has been excellent. The team is consistently professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Pricing has always been fair--no pressure, no upselling, and absolutely no price gouging. Recently, I needed help with a bumper issue on another car and found out George also runs a body shop in San Marcos. Even though they're normally closed on weekends, he made a special exception to meet me there. When I asked if I could pick up the car at his Rancho Bernardo location after the repair, he didn't hesitate to accommodate. On top of that, my car was extremely low on gas, and he told me not to worry about it--he'd take care of it so I could get back without any issues. That kind of above-and-beyond service truly earns lifelong customers. It's rare to find an auto shop that combines honesty, skill, fairness, and genuine care for customers. George and his team set the standard. I wholeheartedly recommend European Autocare in Rancho Bernardo and One Stop Shop in San Marcos.

    Two recent experiences. First a 2017 Mercedes 320E $1,900. 14 Days…read more An Active Light was replaced. The replacement took 10 days. Two weeks. I was disappointed Johnny did not point out the hood was scratched, so I had to go to the owner, George to get that repaired. The repair took a long time for a simple item then the car was damaged. When I complained they were not easy to deal with. Repair #2 Valve Gasket Covers on my 2005 ML500 $780. The job was done in less than a day, but when the car came back it smelled of gas so badly I called European Auto Care back but was advised they would not be able to review the problem for at least a week. The recently repaired valve cover still leaks, my new mechanic found a stripped screw among the at least five (5) loose screws - whilst re-securing the cover. European Auto Care needs to address some important issues.
