I have lived in the desert my entire life and this is the first auto shop where I feel confident and comfortable with the employees and quality of service. They are very honest and upfront about each individual situation and it is not overpriced or expensive. On top of that, the employees are very kind, polite and helpful. I highly recommend this place to everyone. I will definitely be a returning customer. read more

I was told by another company that I need motor mounts needed, but the price was crazy, I started searching yelp & came across this automotive company, with all the great reviews I contacted them to get a estimate on this. Well I am a happy customer, the price was much better & they use the original parts that the dealers use to replace. I will be back when I need to. Very Nice staff also. read more

I have brought my car here three times and everytime I have had great service! I highly recommend them. For the last repair I needed my own family member told me the part alone was going to cost $600, I came to Encore and the entire issue was fixed under $200. I don't have much else to say but the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

I brought in my Tahoe and it was bad news from the start. New tranny and then some. I'm so glad I didn't go elsewhere. Status updates were at the ready when I called and I gave them time to order their parts. Well I'm ecstatic. I can't recall the last time my Chevy Drive this smoothly! It just feels so strong also. I have a brand new car and it was thanks to these guys. Also price is competitive and right where the norm was. Coming back for all my mechanical issues read more

My drivers side window fell off tract and dropped down the door. I checked yelp and saw the high praise from their customers. They took me in the very next morning and within 45 minutes they had the panel door off, fixed the tract, cleaned my door panel and glass from fingers prints. $80 later I was on the road. Office was clean, comfortable, TV and WiFi. Fast and efficient. Highest recommendation from me. read more

So we took our 2012 Nissan back to have all brakes done. Fair and honest price and great customer service. Even cleaned inside of wheels upon request. Thanks again. read more

I just moved to the Valley, and was in need of a new mechanic. I found Encore from Yelp, and I'm happy to add to the other 5 star reviews. Holman and Lucy were both very nice. I got an oil change and new front brakes within 1/2 a day, and for an extremely reasonable price. My only surprise is that Encore is a bit off the beaten path, as far as location is concerned; but still, worth the journey. read more

Serviced my car and took care of me. Will be going back for my future car maintenance needs

Definitely one of the best places to take your car in the Coachella Valley. You can drop your car off at their shop and they will give you a ride home! Everyone is professional and they always try to get you the best prices on parts. They specialize in Japanese cars but they were able to work on my Chevy. I recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy shop to go to Encore Automotive. read more

Had problems with my Hondas brake system, so many parts I have replaced to fix the problem but still nothing came out of it besides new parts I won't have to worry about later on the road. Contacted Encore Automotive left my Honda with them an they solved and fixed the problem the same day! They had great customer service and they answered so many of my questions with no problem. Very friendly and knowledgeable mechanics! The price was right! I will be recommending them to my friends! Thanks again Encore! read more

My wife's Lexus SC430 needed to have the timing belt changed due to the age of vehicle. The Lexus dealer quoted $2,000. I read the great reviews for Encore on Yelp and met with Holman to get an estimate. He looked at the vehicle and his estimate was $730 and included replacing water pump and tensioners! They used all factory parts and they did a fantastic job. The shop is spotless and their work impeccable! The only place I will take my cars including routine service! It is so nice to have a great honest mechanic! read more

If I could give this business 10 stars I would. I was on a long-distance trip from Northern California to Ohio via "the southern route (I-10 & I-40) and spent the night in Indio. The next morning I was on the road at 7AM and 10 miles east of Indio my dreaded "check engine" light came on. I quickly checked and saw and smelled nothing unusual, so I returned to Indio. USAA Roadside Assistance referred me to ENCORE AUTOMOTIVE and I'm incredibly glad they did. From diagnosis of a bad oxygen sensor to getting back on the road was less than 90 minutes. INCREDIBLE !!! These guys literally saved my day. When you have a business this good, you need to support them and their people. read more

I had my AC service, oil & filter change last Friday. The work started on time. The work was professional in all respects. One hour later I was back on the road. My next maintenance will be at Encore Automotive. read more

I Came in for a wheel alignment. I called previous to my arrival asking for price and wait time. Not only did they welcome me and gave me prompt service they didn't waste my time with bs. I was really happy with the customer service. The prices to me were better than the dealership and other mechanic in the valley. I try to compare prices and call around to get an idea of maintenance prices for a 2015 sentra. So I'm definitely going to be a returning customer. read more

Great customer service, affordable prices, and they really go out of their way for their customers. I haven't been to a mechanic shop where employees respect and honor their customers like this place does. read more

I had an older van I was tranferring from Sedona to California, which I bought to jelp a friend out. Well the vehicle didn't make it to it's destination, so I had to make arrangements to put her down. But before we got that far into the story, I had AAA tow the vehicle to Encore Automotive. So they were so nice over the phone, I was looking forward to working with them. As it turns out, they gave me news that they could rebuild the engine and gave me a cost for that or they had already found a replacement engine which was cheaper and less miles. I chose to have a salvage company take it instead. I'm going to say sorry to the guys now because I thought I had a brand new hydraulic jack still in the box and much to my surprise it was left at home by mistake. I feel really bad that I would even think, these guys were so proud of their reputation, that they would have taken the jack. They apologized and the tow truck picked it up. I paid the minimum amount for their efforts and karma will definitely repay the guts at Encore. They were very nice. Thank you Eric and Robert. Sorry if I made you feel bad, you didn't deserve that, you gyts are great. read more

My 2006 Audi A4 was leaking what I thought was tranny fluid. I don't have a trusted mechanic in La Quinta and was reluctant to take it to the dealer. After a Yelp search, I took it to Encore. Holman, Erica and Lucy took over with all care that comes from a family owned business. The facility is spotless and the office staff (Erica and Lucy) were super attentive and friendly. Lucy drove me to the nearby Enterprise car rental and picked me up the next day. I highly recommend Encore. read more

I will never ever ever take my car to anywhere else. Holman and Eddie are beyond awesome. I've been taking my cars to Holman for years, and that will never change. Wherever he goes, my cars will go. Their prices are unbeatable and the service they provide is top notch. My whole family takes their cars to them, even though we have a few other mechanics as friends. Holman has won us over with his work, quick service, and pricing. Highly recommend! read more

Great job, they came in under there estimate. Very competent and professional and would recommend them any time.

I took my Subaru in for some electrical issues, they found the problem and they were able to fix the issue the same day, I cannot stress enough how great this shop is, I definitely recommend it to everybody. read more

Wow, What a find. They replaced my Prius fuel pump. I supplied the Part and they did the installation in less than on hour. The cost to install the part was 1/3 the price quote by I-10 Toyota saving me hundreds of dollars. I will recommend the to any Toyota owner. They do great work at reasonable prices read more

Yet again, Holeman came through. On the way to the shop our car broke down. Holeman came to us, called a tow truck and had our car towed to his shop within minutes. He even paid the tow bill on the spot. Not only did he go out of his way to clean a sensor, check out a weird noise at no cost, but saved me $350 over the other shop- I will go nowhere else and would give 6 stars if I could. read more

My 2005 Lexus GX 470 had a leaking heater core. This repair requires the dashboard to be removed and is a very labor intensive job. I called Encore and they were able to give me two quotes in just a few minutes with OEM parts or cheaper aftermarket parts. Each price was very reasonable and I chose Encore to make the repair with OEM parts. I arrived at the shop and was impressed with the waiting room and service counter. The shop was very clean and organized. The young man and woman at the service counter were very professional and friendly. I learned Encore is a family business. Feeling more comfortable with the shop, I requested that the front/rear differential and transfer case fluids get changed. I also brought a different set of wheels to have mounted and balanced. The final quote for all this work was very reasonable and they said it would be done in about two days. I dropped the car off at the end of the day on Wednesday and received a call Friday afternoon that the car was ready. I picked the car up and all of the work was done very well and they performed a multi point vehicle inspection just like most dealerships, but without trying to pressure me into unneeded repairs. They also showed me the old leaking heater core. This shop is awesome and should be the example for all auto shops, especially the dealerships. I highly recommend and I will be returning. read more

I bought a used vehicle with power issues and paid a mechanic$2000 to fix it. I immediately left for a very long road trip and the problem just kept getting worse. Another mechanic in Moab said there was nothing wrong with it. The problem continued to get very bad, and finally I was forced to stop, and thank goodness it was near encore automotive! I couldn't have hoped for more professional, friendly, and helpful service. And they actually found and fixed the problem, like a mechanic is supposed to!!!! Highly recommended. read more

Encore, saved me close to $600, the dealership wanted that amount of money to fix my right hand mirror on my car that I damaged. The owner took a look at my mirror and said give him about 25 minutes to look closer at it to see what he can do. He returned the car with my passenger mirror all fixed. I asked him how much do I owe him and he said nothing at all. I told him you spent over a half an hour working on my car and it looks perfect, I must OU something and he said no just please recommend me to people. And I am recommending the shop to everyone, the service was wonderful, Very clean environment and a wonderful staff of people. They do bodywork, repairs, oil changes, anything that you need done. From the other customers that were waiting for their cars said that they been going to the shop for a long time and you get the best service and best pricing. Again I highly recommend anyone in need of this type of service to use on Encore Auto read more

I went in for a transmission job and that I can say they did good but also paid for alignment to be done with it and when received the vehicle back as I arrived found a scratch on car that wasn't there before showed the young lady proof from home cameras when vehicle left my house a gentleman there corrected it and buffed it for me I was happy as I was driving started noticing steering wheel is not centered being that I paid for alignment one would think they would center steering since alignment machine makes sure the steering wheel is centered before proceeding with alignment so then you can make your toe caster and camber adjustments if it has that option on vehicle but they missed the alignment portion on my car I'm guessing I had to take vehicle to another shop pay again for an alignment as I also got home noticed battery tie down was loose and battery moving everywhere well I check and see no bolt because they over tightened it and snapped it right off you can see the end of bolt in the hole other than that car is running fine again but it's the little things that makes a customer upset especially after spending a couple grand I understand mistakes and accidents happen but these are little things that turns a big job into a disappointment to a customer makes us feel like if they did these things what else wasn't done right or missed throughout process read more

Best shop in the valley with reasonable prices and quick turnaround! I bring my Prius to this shop for various repairs and they are as honest as it gets. I will never trust the dealership with repairs again!!!! read more

We are from Canada but have a vacation property in the area and had no idea who to contact when we had an issue with our 2016 Ford Explorer. A faulty battery lead made us nervous about turning off our vehicle as we never knew whether or not it would start again. We called Encore, after having read the Yelp reviews, and they were kind enough to bring our car in immediately because of the situation. We were greeted upon arrival and while we waited in their very nice, quiet reception area, the vehicle was diagnosed and repaired with us being advised about the process each step of the way. We could not be happier with the excellent job that was done and their outstanding customer service - particularly when it was time sensitive. We highly recommend Encore Automotive - they are super honest, have integrity and make you confident about everything being done to your vehicle, all at a very fair price. Thanks again - so much - to the whole team at Encore - again - highly recommend them!! read more

I am not from this area, I was visiting for coachella, the last day I was there something happened with my car so I called them last minute to see if they can help me fix it so I can drive home, and they were SO nice, easy going and helped me right away!! I recommend this place, by far the best auto repair I have ever been to, wish they were near me !! read more

My husband and I drove into Indio today from Northern California and were having issues with our brakes. We called Encore to see if there was a chance someone could check it out for us. We were told to bring it right in. Within minutes, they diagnosed the problem. They got it fixed and we were on our way in just over an hour. Everyone was so nice and it was just an excellent experience. Thank you Eddie for taking care of us! read more

Had my Civic serviced here, was in and out in less than 24 hours for a timing belt + water pump service. Also fixed some internal seals that were leaking oil. Great customer service and worked with me to schedule a date for my appointment. Would definitely recommend for any auto needs! read more

Extremely professional, accommodating, and downright nice. My teenage daughter drove alone from San Diego to the Coachella festival, on Friday, when the car gave up the ghost in the middle of Coachella traffic. My daughter and I called Yelp's highest rated mechanics in Coachella. It was already after hours, and none would be open during the weekend, including Encore. Nevertheless, Holman (Encore's owner) arranged to meet my daughter at her stranded car early Saturday morning to at least diagnose, and maybe even repair her car. Sure enough he did both, and my daughter drove back to San Diego that day without a problem--and Holman didn't even charge us. Truly, genuinely nice guy. read more

Eddy was very helpful at diagnosing our wheel bearing problem. This shop is top quality and we will be back with our Honda.

Holman and Eddie are top notch. Very honest and humble guys who really take pride in their work. Its tough finding a trustworthy mechanic let alone one that is fair. Encore is not only trustworthy and reasonably priced they are actually very knowledgable. read more

Great service! Reasonable price! Holman gets the job done. He works on all types of cars including my Nissan. While waiting for my car, I was able to get some work done in the lounge. Wifi works great. This place is legit. I'll be getting my car serviced here from now on. read more

I went there with my Honda S2000 and was told i needed a valve job . He took the engine apart sent it out to the machine shop 4 weeks later my engine light came back on and he said S2000s were known for fixing 1 and a year later you need to do another 1. Why he didn't do all while he had it apart is just a failure to do the job right! I was and still am very disappointed with this job. read more
