      My car parked in a handicap spot.. like they want me to get a ticket...
      Elijah M.

      TLDR: They killed my battery, didn't want to take responsibility, and then left my car in a handicap spot... I came in for a diagnostic check for a check engine light. They had it for 3 days and didn't find anything wrong. I get the car back and the battery is DEAD, from them leaving the light on. My remote for the car wasn't even working, we couldn't open the door. They had us drive my car around for "15 min so they can test the battery after that." They didn't test the battery anfter and just told me to turn it off and on again, and it didn't start up again.. SO they kept the car to 'charge it' , but now they need to keep it for the weekend.. LOU tried to tell me that 'their technician didn't have a reason to turn the light on cause it was day time , so it wasn't them" I said "you guys had my car for 3 days and admitted it was running fine 3 days in a row, now my car is dead" .. Lou did not want to take accountability.. it made going to work extremely difficult.. ONE WEEK later , they say my car battery and alternator are fine and the battery is charged... *LOU* was Unwilling to make any sort of compromise and I will be speaking with a manager.. oh yeah, and they left my car in a handicap parking after the week of 'repairs' .. STAY AWAY

      I took my Range Rover into Complete Car Care Encinitas because they could look at my car more quickly than the dealership and they were closer to my home. The problem was diagnosed as an engine coolant leak and I paid about $1800 for labor and parts for the replacement of a few different hoses. I was initially very happy with the service. About 2-months later I experienced another engine coolant alarm and returned to Complete Car Care. This time they informed me they were concerned about doing additional work on my engine as they thought the dealership could do a better job and that the leak was some where behind the engine. This was a head scratcher as they supposedly guarantee the work but I followed their instructions nevertheless. Upon taking my car to the dealership a few days later and as I was waiting for my loaner car, the service manager popped off the engine cover and showed me one of hoses repaired by Complete Car Care had popped loose (see picture). These things sometimes happen, but when I mentioned it to Complete Car Care they denied this could have happened due to their work suggesting that someone at the dealership did it which is absolutely ridiculous. If Complete Car Care was not comfortable working on my vehicle to fully resolve the problem they should have said so from the beginning. In this case, I'm not confident that their original work was done adequately.

      I asked for a single oil change on my sprinter and they took the liberty to charge me for a look over in addition to the oil change. $280 oil change - thanks but I will never come here again as I did not come for a mechanic overview I came here for an oil change that's it. Also this place disguises themselves as "Sprinter Repair" - they are not a sprinter shop. New photo attached: (Update 1 day out) the so called "Master Technicians" at Complete Car Care Encinitas can't even get the oil level right - do not come to this place they over charge and can't even the basics correctly.

      They were really fast, out in 25 min. I used the $29.75 deal, they added $10 since I have a minivan. The cashier was polite and helpful.

      I called in Saturday morning and was able to get a same day appointment for an oil change and tire…read morerotation. Took about 1 hour for both services. Transparent about the cost, did not try oversell anything. They were super friendly and honest when I asked about my tire health, told me they were in good condition still and could go on for another 20-30k miles.

      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.
