Fast, friendly and honest! Smog check and oil change was reasonable and I received the discount for checking in on yelp. Comfortable and clean waiting room. Highly recommend! read more

Shop owner is man of integrity. My family will be back. I recommend these guys to fix any car.

Frustrated service in 30 days paid ~$500 for oil getting into spark plugs and a few weeks later they diagnose a internal head gasket leak. Odd coincidence that this was not noticed when they were doing work on the engine and related to oil leak issues in the first place. Anyway, they now need $2000 for repair. We are going to dealer and checking with a mechanic friend. As a side note, I stopped taking my car there after they put new tires on the car they wanted to charge me $400 for rear brakes. Later with my mechanic friend we checked all brakes and rotors and they are completely fine. Yes some wear, but over 1 year later (I just checked them again a few weeks back) and they are fine. read more

Another stellar performance by the CCC team. They took great care of my VW Beetle. She is 11 years old and is running like new again. There was a pesky bolt that did not want to come off so they had to keep her overnight, which was no problem for me. Andy and the team sent me the nicest thank you note with a Startbucks card. Not many places are that thoughtful. I highly recommend CCC for the great work they perform on my car. read more

Updated rating - Clearly a communication problem with both parties.at first visit. The company invited me back and completed the smog appointment with no problems. I really appreciate the follow up and interest in cultivating a customer base. read more

I have used their services twice now and couldn't be happier with the staff! I take care of a small child during the day, so waiting for a long period of time can be trying on both of us (plus anyone waiting in the office with us). My most recent experience was yesterday ~ I needed my headlight bulb replaced. I called for a price (using my part) and was told to come in at my convenience. It turned out the part I had purchased was not the correct part but they had one in stock for a better price than I had paid. I was in & out in 15 minutes!! I will keep going back to places that treat me well :) read more

Been coming here since it was precision tune... sent my 18 year old son today,his first car repair experience. I knew they would not cheat him be honest. I 'COMPLETELY' trust Complete Car Care to not pad the bill! read more

I was not looking forward to getting my smog check because you never know how you'll be treated when going to a car service place. When I called to check the price they were very nice and offered to get me an appointment the same day. I made the appointment for the same day and was in and out within 25 minutes of my appointment time. I was almost waiting for a sales pitch at the end ("You need this and that..."), but nope...just a friendly conversation and I was on my way. I will now come here (or at least check prices here first) for any car maintenance/repairs I may need. read more

The crew here has always been excellent to work with. They are flexible on appointments and efficient in their service. I was looking for a new shop to have my car regularly serviced and I'm glad I went with them. I recently had a smog check done that was super quick and they have always been very straightforward about their pricing and costs. Definitely recommended. read more

I just wanted to say thank you Andy and Lou I live in the neighborhood and I was recently in a bad accident and cannot work of my own vehicle Andy knows I'm a technician not only did they bring my wife in right away with no appointment they gave us a good deal do to my injury little things like this means a hole lot for my family and I they kept our truck safe for the road thank you to all the crew great place to come thanks again. read more

I just came in to get my new front tires aligned. What a relief from the Bob Baker Chrysler service department. They are friendlier, faster and more efficient at Complete Car Care. They are less crowded than my usual service department. They also serve better coffee, while you wait. read more

Finally I have found a repair garage I can trust. The team at Complete Car Care are courteous, fast, skilled and honest. Never pushy or rude and they didn't try to sell me stuff I don't need. Owner Andy and his service writer Evan were both awesome and took good care of me, from doing a little extra work for no charge on a transmission replacement, to providing me a complimentary rental car. They've got my business from now on... read more

Brought my Acura in here with key/ignition problems. It was solved by a technician to be a key problem, and they did not charge me for diagnostics! Will be coming back again :) read more

This place is fantastic. Lou and Brandon really took care of me. They are honest, professional & helpful and they went above and beyond to make sure my car got serviced in a timely manner. It's running great now and I couldn't be more satisfied with the work that the mechanics provided. I highly recommend this place. read more

Thank you for taking good care of me and my car. My engine light turned on and the engine was making a new noise. My dealer couldn't see me for a week but these guys saw me right away, test drove, ran diagnostics, order the damaged part and had me on my way in just over an hour. Great service thank you! I will be back for my regular maintenance too. read more

Incredible service . Fast ! Clean waiting area! Has water,coffee and cookies ! Great experience for a smog check !

I was very pleased with my experience with Complete Car Care. I received service immediately and was told about my service each and every step with cost being charged all up front. Their office was also quite nice with tea, coffee, cookies, a television and even a port to charge several types of phones/computers. In short, I would highly recommend Complete Car Care of Encinitas and I will definitely return! read more

Went here to get my emergency brake adjusted on my 2004 Nissan Titan. They charged me exactly what they quoted me and I was only at the shop for about 45 minutes. Lou at the front desk was very knowledgeable and helpful. Wouldn't take my truck anywhere else! read more

Evan took great care of me and my car. Friendly and profession service. Had them perform a smog check on a Sat morning. Barely had enough time to brew a cup of coffee before my car was done. Highly recommend this place for your car needs. Thanks Evan!! read more

Great place to take your car. The staff was super friendly and my car was in and out for a smog check very quickly. I had my wipers replaced, too. Now, let's hope for rain! read more

Fast friendly and affordable service. What else can you ask for? I stopped by to get a smog and replace a headlight. This family run business won me over with their honesty, integrity and fair dealings. I plan on using them exclusively for my future car repair needs. read more

I read the reviews and gave them a try. I'm glad I did. Very friendly and helpful. Fairly priced and timely. I will be taking my cars there from now on. read more

This place is great for us, services our different types of cars. Friendly helpful staff.

This place is great and very Yelp friendly. I suggest a quote on Yelp and had a response almost immediately. Scheduled a Smog Check for 2:30pm, showed up late and was out of there in 15 minutes. Lowest price I could find as well. See you in a couple years!! read more

I have been using them for service for many years and cannot thank them enough for honest and dependable workmanship. Evan is the service manager and he and his staff go out of their way to make sure that your experience is a positive one. Thank you guys for taking such great care of me, my car and my pocketbook. read more

Excellent service, made an appointment for a smog check and Oil Change and was still acted like a top grade customer. Extremely knowledgeable and courteous staff, even plenty of charging stations in the seat so you can read or enjoy your phone while you wait. Hassle free service. Definitely recommend read more

CCC did a smog check for me a month ago. While there, I decided to have them do a wheel alignment as well. They were soooo efficient and reliable, the work was done before I knew it. These guys are friendly too! read more

These guys literally helped put my floorboard back on for FREE! I ran over a curb, it ripped off, I was scraping along the ground... stopped in to get some help. They finished it so fast they didn't even charge me for anything. I was super impressed. I will definitely be going back to these gentlemen! read more

Came in for Smog Testing and they were able to do my oil change while I waited too. Friendly and helpful staff.

By far the most honest, efficient place in town! Been coming here for years and will not go anywhere else in town. Customer service is as good as their professional work read more

Came in to switch my light bulb, however, I ended up bringing the wrong light bulb (after they took everything apart) and the guy who helped me was super nice. Didn't end up charging me even though they already had done the labor and gave me advice on what light bulb to buy for cheap. Great and fast service. Highly recommend this place! read more

We smog all of our cars at Complete Car Care and have always been pleased. Evan did a great job at getting us in and out quickly! Thanks very much! read more

I have been going for about two years for service on my Honda and when I first found the place, there was a nice lady that was always friendly and even offered me a military discount (which they don't do). I haven't seen her for awhile, but have had two experiences with Lou. I take my car in for oil changes/basic service and 16 months ago they put on my new front brakes. Needless to say, 16 months later they were squeeking and I just had them checked while I was there for an oil change. I had to talk to Lou to ask him not to charge me the $30 for a brake inspection. You would think it would have been complimentary since they did the brakes! Lou said the brakes were "glazed" and after talking the owner/manager? they replaced them for being under warrantee. He also said that he would rather talk to my husband about the issue since he is a male! (seriously, I am 44 years old with a master's degree, I think I can handle what he is trying to explain to me). I have never heard that in my life before! Another issue I had was that I told Lou I didn't have time to do the brakes while they had my car for an oil change. I came back a few days later and told him I would be there at 9:15am (after my preschool drop-off). I arrived at 9:35 and he said he wasn't sure they could get the brakes done by 1pm (preschool pick-up time was 1:15) because I came in late and he took two oil changes. He might need the car the entire day.......what??? He literally called me 2 hours later to say the car was done. While I was waiting I was totally stressed out trying to figure out options on how to get my child picked up if I was stuck there. He needs some work in the customer service department. Otherwise, great lobby and location. read more

Great staff, knowledgable, informative and fair pricing. As a female, I felt respected and not talked down to.

I have been to Complete Car Care twice now and was satisfied each time. Went in for a smog check in the spring and they were fast and efficient and were extremely friendly. Just went back this weekend for a bulb replacement and also had another good experience. Samantha and Evan were both very personable and professional and Evan took the extra time to show me what they had to do since VW Beetles are a bit tricky to work on. Will go back again for our care car needs. read more

Super impressed. I came in at the last minute with a leak. Evan came out and checked out my car right away. He found a loose drain plug left by the other mechanic who had done my oil change (Encinitas Foreign & Domestic) and topped off the oil. I could've had serious motor damage if it had gone unfixed. He totally went above and beyond. read more

Great guys. I've taken my client's car to them several times now and every time has been a great experience. They are accurate with their time assessments and quickly inform you of any changes in the plan. As I've mentioned, it's my client's car & they're always helpful with our situation and transport me back to them while the car is being taken care of. The one time I needed to stay, the car was repaired quickly & I was kept informed of the status so I could let my client know when I would return home. read more

Went in for a smog check a couple weeks ago and failed the test, which I knew was coming since I was aware I needed a new catalytic converter. Got bad vibes from Evan right away, as he kept interrupting me when I was trying to explain the repair history of my car. He insisted he needed to do a $180 diagnostic test before replacing the cat so I finally agreed and left my car at the shop. I get a call that evening saying that it was indeed the cat that needs to be replaced, and that it'll cost me $1,010 for that service for my 1998 honda civic. I laughed. It gets better though, then he informs me that my car "coincidentally" died on them and isn't drivable, which will be an additional $120 for the ignition coil and that they will comp the labor for that. After about 5 minutes of me expressing my dissatisfaction with that solution, he finally agreed to comp the part, which is what he should have done INITIALLY. I told him that I know most places only charge $500 for a new cat and he called me back with a new estimate of $580. Interesting how the price dropped $500 dollars within 10 minutes? I took this offer and ended of paying a little over $800 total with smog test and diagnostics. If I had more time to get the issue taken care of I definitely would have gone somewhere else. I was very disappointed because I had read so many positive reviews about this company. The only reason I am giving this a 2 star is because of the woman that works the front desk and her excellent customer service. read more

I do my best to try and be objective when trying to rate a business; however, I really do believe that Complete Car Care deserves every single star for the exceptional care that they provided me. I live in San Diego and only pass by Carlsbad for family, but I am willing to make the extra journey up here for all my vehicle services in the future. Easily the best place I've ever visited! Besides the masterful, professional, and efficient service, their staff feels genuinely authentic in assisting you with any vehicle problem They never feel like they are out to simply take your cash and upsell you on services you don't really need. They are very fair and explain everything for what you are paying for and will do what they can to accommodate you. "Guest-friendly" is a fair term to use as they have a shuttle service that will provide you transportation while they work on your car!I had my brakes completely redone but man did I get my car back quickly! It's nice not fearing for my life when I'm behind the wheel now haha. Big shout out to Lou for helping me out with my car diagnostic too and providing additional advice on the car. And my manners failed me but thank you so much for the nice woman who was my shuttle driver both back home and to the shop. She was very sweet and deserves the same praise as Lou and the guys who worked on my car. Seriously keep up the great work guys! I'll be coming up soon to get an oil change! read more

I got a quote over the phone for a smog check. I told them the make, model and year. I was quoted $45 over the phone. When I took my car in for the smog check they charged me $59. They said my car didn't qualify for the discount. That is NOT what I was told on the phone. I was so angry. Beware! read more
