It's hard to find an honest mechanic but I trust Felipe 100% with my car. I feel like whenever I am…read morehaving an issue with my car I am always able to call and bring it right in. Not only do I know that he's going to find what the problem is but I know all his prices are fair. I don't have to worry about being sold extra things that I don't need. Pre-Felipe I used to get my oil changed at Jiffy lube and they would always try and upsell and tell me I needed a list of things done to my car. You don't need to worry about that here. They are trustworthy and honest and will tell it how it is. Our whole family brings all our cars to Felipe and we will continue to do so because he is a fantastic mechanic!

Very unprofessional and whoever I was on the phone with kept talking to other customers while I was on the phone with him. This happened about 3 or 4 times. I was frustrated.

I'm so sorry that the first reviewer had such a bad experience, but my experience with Joe has…read morealways been excellent. (He moved recently to a new location and I'm following him there.) I've been going to Joe for about three years now and I am impressed by his honesty and work ethic. After my husband died, I have had to find mechanics I could trust to steer me in the right direction. My husband had always managed the cars (as he worked in the car business and he'd worked on cars his whole life). After a bit, I managed to find a fellow I could trust, but he closed his shop and moved abroad. I had to find someone new, but meanwhile I went to a national auto chain. They were fast, but overall I knew I was getting overcharged and having things done that were not necessary. I've always liked watching mechanics work, and I could see how these guys would look at things on the car without asking me. In other words, they were going over the whole car without me asking if I wanted an inspection. It never seemed like they were making a general inspection for the sake of safety. It seemed as if they were looking for things to make more money. Due to my trusted mechanic, I had become used to being told what I needed now and what I had coming on the horizon--including a time frame, like a brake job in two years, etc. I really didn't like being part of the assembly line of victims. Then I found Joe. I feel good again about working with a mechanic who will straight out tell me what I need and don't need so my budget isn't busted. He listens well to what I have to say about my vehicles and he is great about getting a second opinion when he feels it's a good idea. For example, he referred me to a front end specialist for best diagnosis when I needed a front end alignment. My old truck is tricky, and Joe doesn't do alignments, but instead of just sending me off, he recommended an expert. The expert is well known in the county and is nearing retirement. This fellow was a wiz. He diagnosed my problem and sent me back to Joe, who did the necessary repairs before I returned for the alignment. I recommend Joe for these reasons. He may not be for everyone--some may prefer a more upscale or institutionalized work site--but I'd rather trust my mechanic than continuously feel like a mark.

Don't beleave this guy collin's review, first off he's not a qualified mechanic cause if he was he…read morewould have fixed the problem with the car himself, second off I know Joe Aguilar personally and I know he does good work and is a straight forward guy. I worked for him briefly when i was out of work as I am also a mechanic and heavy fabricator. This guys crying cause the car probly needed more repair than he had thought (this goes back to him NOT being a mechanic) and is probly used to OTHER mechanics doing the minimum to get the car back on the road and not looking for other problems ,which is what some mechanics will do as they are only concerned with the one time customer not the returning customer. Please get all the facts before you make a judgement and go on hear-say. Manny V.

I brought Tony the heads and he did great work, doing the whole thing (resurface, new valves, guides, adjustments, etc.). He also was a great resource for talking about the engine troubles that brought me to him in the first place and had good tips for the reinstallation of the heads that I was doing myself. Also, it's hard for me to get away from work Mon-Fri, and Tony was very helpful in terms of meeting me on the weekends for pickup and drop-off.

He is an HONEST guy, he will call you and say dont worry about it, you have another 2 months until you actually have to change it, or something like no, you dont need to change that. He will not take advantage of you AT ALL. You can go there with a peace of mind that he will take really good care of your car and he will only do what needs to be done. Please please please, try him out, he will become like a family member and you will NEVER take your car anywhere else, just like me :-)

Not only did they dissect my front-end issue, but I also had Trick Trucks install sway bars. The work bays are clean, and the staff allows you to be part of the decision process, no high-pressure sales here and no unnecessary work. I live in Utah but I trust Trick Trucks to a degree that the next time I visit family in San Diego I'll be by for a howdy and maybe an additional upgrade to my Grand Cherokee.

Expect Oscar and his son inspect your car and notice everything it needs. From weird noises in the cabin or engine bay, windows not rolling down, leaking hoses or full engine replacements.
