I neede to get my vehicle smogged last week so: I called Complete Car Care on Friday and made an appointment for Monday at 9:30 A.M. I dropped off the car at about 9:25 and received a phone call about 10:15 . My car was finished and ready to be picked up [at my convenience] What a great place this is! It's polite.professional and FAST too! I tortally recommend Complete Car Care for ALL your vehicle repairs & "checks" ! Brian... Encinitas read more

These guys squeezed me in while they were very busy and got my alignment done quickly. More importantly, they did it for way less than any other car place had quoted me. Everyone there was knowledgable, friendly, and professional. All in all it was a great experience!! read more

I have been going to this place since 2001. In 17 plus years they have never disappointed me. Always truthful about work they do and recommendations that my cars needs to prevent bigger problems. They are willing to drop me off and pick me up while my cars are worked on. Today I brought my car in and they diagnosed a transmission problem (which was still under warranty with Aamco) and didn't even charge me. Lou always takes care of me and knows me by name. Spending money on fixing my car sucks but I know I am in good hands with them. They are always busy so they don't waste time on doing work that your car doesn't need. read more

This place is affordable, fast and friendly. Lou very helpful and informative. I'll be back!

This place is awesome! Very professional , helpful, personable. Great place to hang out when work is being done - they make it compfy with water, coffee , cookies, mags to catch up on, tv and sofa. Even a dog water bowl so I can being my pup. And the staff, Evan, was so helpful and wonderful. Thanks for smog test, and so quickly too! read more

Owner doesn't even read messages sent to him. Asked for a quote to look at a problem and his response was "we need to diagnostic". Obviously that's why I'm asking for a price to diagnostic it and not a price to fix it. If they're not going to listen to you now they're definitely not going to listen to you later. Strongly avoid any mechanic that won't at least listen to you. Huge red flag in the maintenance industry. read more

Brandon and the team at Complete Car Care are excellent! I took my vehicle in to diagnose a leak, and they were able to identify the source of the problem, order the part, and have my vehicle back to me the same day! I appreciate the time they took to explain their repair process and cost breakdown. I would highly recommend Complete Car Care, and will definitely bring my car back for future services. read more

I have used Complete Care Care for a couple of years now and this review is far overdue. I have always been satisfied. From weird sounds or feelings my car is giving me to brakes and oil changes they have been a great help! read more

These guys are simply the best. Thorough, expert, and honest. I have lived in North County Coastal for over 20 years and have been to at least half a dozen other car care shops before finding this place, and they are the best. Thank you Lou. read more

Started here at 10:45am, and am finally leaving at 4:04pm. What a long day. Couple of hundred dollars later and a few why me tears all is right in the universe again. Lou is an amazing example of what it means to be a human being. He is a solid professional and a good man. Thank you all, enjoy the chocolates and we will probably see you again next year!!! Hahahaha. read more

Outstanding customer service ! I have been using this family owned business and sending friends here for 20 years. I have trust and faith that I will be be treated fairly and that I will come away happy with the service I receive. Lou is terrific and is always willing to work with me as a customer often with limited time and finances. You won't be disappointed ! read more

I went into Complete Car Care for an oil change. I mentioned that my car seemed to use a lot of oil to Matt, the man at the front desk. Matt said he'd take a look at my car for $70. To my shock he then told me that my car had completely run out of oil and that I needed a new engine!!! He told me that my car was unsafe to drive off the lot and he could replace my engine for $5,800. I told him that I would get a second opinion and in the meantime asked if I have the oil change I originally came in for. Matt told me to go to Pepboys and buy my oil from there. I then took my car to Hughos Auto Repair in Encinitas to get a quote on a new engine and repair. They checked my car for free and my grand total was............ $29.95 for an oil change. No new engine required. read more

I never write reviews but I must say I was very pleased an happy with the outstanding service that complete car care provided me with. I know nothing about cars an I had to put my trust in them, I can say they went above an beyond normal expectations. I will definitely be bring my car back when I need more work done. Thank you!!! read more

During a recent long distance commute to work, my engine light came on and I landed here. Having car problems is unpleasant and especially with an older car. The staff was excellent in communicating the problems, evaluating options and provided distance transportation to boot. read more

Great service. Quickly done. Lou even threw in a free oil change and waived the diagnostics fee.

Complete Car Care is an outstanding shop. They saved us over $400.00 on a AC repair/replace. This is one of the few truly honest shops with the highest quality technical and customer service! read more

Let me start by saying that I despise going to repair shops. It seems that whenever I go, it ends up costing a fortune, I always feel like I'm getting taken advantage of and I sit around waiting for hours. Well thank goodness the other good reviews led me to Complete Car Care because I FINALLY had a pleasant experience. I went in for an oil change at my scheduled time and my car was immediately brought into the garage to get worked on. After a short time, Emily and the mechanic brought me into the garage to show me that whoever completed my last oil change (Valvoline Express), screwed the cap on way to tight and removing it could cause further damage to my oil pan. Instead of carelessly using excessive force and possibly cracking my oil pan, Emily and Lou recommended that I return my car to Valvoline in the event there was damage upon removal of the cap. As a courtesy, they added a quart of oil to my car so I could get by and I agreed to return to Valvoline. Although it turned in to additional time and energy, I didn't mind because I truly appreciated their honesty and care. They could have easily chosen the route that put more money in their pockets, but they instead they used their knowledge and professionalism to do what was in my best interest. I'll definitely be back for all of my car service needs and will recommend them to all of my friends and family! Thanks Complete Car Care! read more

Emily is the best! I always come here for an oil change. They are very knowledgable and care about their customers.

I needed new tires for my car. The owner suggested I go with tirerack.com to save money over other tire stores in the area. I ordered my tires and they were shipped to the shop and they installed them even though I didn't purchase the tires from them. They did a great job and saved me money for both the tires and the installation. They are great honest guys. read more

these guys are great! had my oil changed and an overall inspection. the service was impeccable and they explained everything simply and easy to understand. the majority of the employees are locals thatwent to the same schools as me. I'll be coming back here for all my car work ") read more

Complete Car Care is awesome. Lou spent a lot of time with me explaining everything I needed and didn't need ( services the dealer had suggested) and saved me money. They are extremely honest and helpful. I definitely recommend taking your car here for any issues that you might have. BIG thanks to Lou and the rest of the CCC crew! read more

Great and helpful service. Trustworthy staff that knows how to get repairs done correctly at great prices.

Perfect for a quick smog check. Friendly and on time. Quoted 30 minutes and was out the door a few minutes early. Web search for coupon saved $10. read more

I have used Complete Car Care a few times, both when having an appointment and when stopping in for a minor issue (such as a tire pressure sensor going off). Each time I have been impressed with the fast, friendly, quality service I received. Everyone working there is both professional as well as courteous...a rarity in many auto repair shops. Having a local car care place that I trust is a win! read more

The company is awesome!! They are super friendly. You can make an appointment which is a plus. They fit me in an hour early before my appointment time and had me out the door for a smog check within 20 minutes like they quoted me. Plus, they had the best price for smog checks in the area. I highly recommend Complete Car Care. read more

I have used them on two occasions to repair my 1991 Toyota pickup. On both visits the work was thorough and timely.

Awesome auto repair shop! They are efficient by not overbooking appointments and getting your car complete in the allotted time. They are honest to the price they quote you over the phone and they aren't pushy like some other auto repair shops by trying to check your car for every little thing wrong to up sell you. Lastly, they educate you on any issues or car care that you may have questions about. Emily the receptionist is knowledgeable in car care and will always greet you with a smile. I would definitely recommend this shop for all your auto care needs! read more

If I could have given them 0 stars if I could have. They did a VERY expensive (way overpriced) brake service for me less than a year ago. I wasn't happy but they already had my car so I was over a barrel. I thought they did a good job, but then I had a rear caliper freeze up last week. It caused a rear brake to stay engaged and wore all the lining off the pad. I took it to them hoping that they would go easy on me. Instead they charged me $250!!! Many places will do a complete front and rear brake job for not much more than that. They are thieves! Don't go there. I won't go back. read more

great team and excellent service and care. They even drove me home while I waited.

I've brought in two of my cars for regular service here and the owner and technicians are very nice and helpful. I'd highly recommend going here! read more

Great place. Good honest workers. Great pricing. Quick and very nice people. Definitely will go back and recommend to all my friends and family. read more

I'm local encinitas surfer and with lot full of mechanics I sure am happy I went to complete car care they provided great service to my car and did it for a very reasonable price. They're a bunch of cool guys with terrific customer care. I will definitely be taking care or all my auto needs with them in the future read more

Complete Car Care is first-class service. The staff there is extremely knowledgeable on all makes of cars and they do a fabulous job.. I have been taking my care there for over 5 years, initially went there because when I took my car to the dealership, they were unable to correct my problems....after a few hours with the pro's at Complete, problem solved. The team and service are also off the charts, they go out of their way to accommodate your needs and schedule. Extremely focused on customer service, reasonable prices and very friendly and professional staff are the reasons I trust all my car care to them. read more

I had a great experience at Complete Car Care. I came in to follow up on a transfer case leak that was identified elsewhere during an oil change. Not only, did Evan and the receptionist get me in/out quickly, they were extremely friendly, honest and nice. I had never been there and know nothing about cars and love the way I was treated! Thank you very much! read more

I have been going to these guys for a couple of years (since they used to be Precision Tune), and have put several thousand dollars of work there into my cars. Last week, when I picked up my car after they repaired a broken cable in the passenger seat that was preventing the seat from reclining, I noticed that the SRS (supplemental restraint system) light was on, and asked for an explanation. They first claimed the light had been on when it arrived, which was not true. Then they claimed the light came on completely independently of the repair -- that a service interval on the SRS had elapsed -- and that only the dealer could reset things. The real cause, as I learned in less than a minute after a single google search, was that the SRS system detects a fault if the car is turned on when the seat is not yet plugged in -- as it clearly was when they removed the seat. And resetting SRS faults are dealer-only repairs. What bugged me most was that rather than trying to solve or explain the problem they had caused, they came up with two clearly false excuses (i.e., they lied) to evade responsibility. I can only fix the problem they caused, at my expense, by going to the dealer. After having paid for the work at Complete Car Care. As I say, I had been a good customer of theirs. Not anymore. UPDATE: A couple of weeks later I noticed that the leather cover on the repaired seat wasn't put back together properly, and took it back to have Complete Car Care for warranty repair. I was unhappy they didn't get the repair right the first time, but relieved that they fixed it when asked the second time. read more

Complete Car Care Encinitas is the best repair place I have found in San Diego. They offer excellent customer service, as well as great repair work, all at a great price. It's a small family shop and they are honest and do great work. While I was waiting for my car, I sat and noticed that they offer great attentive care to each of the customers that came in the door. Can't say enough great things about them. read more

Had a great experience here-- they were quicker than expected and the office staff was very friendly. We'll definitely return for future smog checks. read more

Yelp-messaged for a quote on doing a smog cert, got an unsolicited discount when making an appointment and in 1/2 hour I got smogged... competitive price, friendly service and quick... what more can you ask for? read more

My check engine light came on and car was misfiring. Any good mechanic would know to change the cable and maybe spark plugs. They did diagnostic for $110 and changed cable, cost was $275!! They tried to overcharge for something that was $40-50. After arguing with them, they took the $110 off the bill and we had to pay $169 and didnt fix the problem. I took the car to Sears and had the spark plugs replaced. The car runs fine now. Do not take your car here to fix any problems. They only know how to do oil changes! read more

Comfy place for a smog check. The staff is friendly. You can trust mechanic John to not steer you towards expensive, unnecessary repairs in order to pass. Thanks, John! read more
