I was told I needed full break pad and rotor replacement on all 4 brakes at different "highly rated" Poway shop; I was quoted $1100 for this. I got a second phone quote from B&C for the same service at half the cost. When I took my car in, they were honest, told me I still had 50% of my front brake pads left and only need to replace my back ones for a literal fraction of the cost. I'll be back for all future car things, including oil changes!

I cannot say enough good things about Jesse and his team at A 1 Vista Auto Repair in Vista. As a…read moremilitary widow and single mom, finding an honest, dependable mechanic is not just a convenience -- it's a necessity. Jesse is one of those rare professionals who operate with complete integrity. Jesse has never tried to upsell me, pressure me, or recommend unnecessary work. He takes the time to explain my options clearly and always gives sound, practical advice so I can make informed decisions. Knowing that my car -- and my budget -- are being handled with honesty gives me incredible peace of mind, especially without a husband here to help navigate these things. That trust means the world to me. His daughter Sonya, who works at the shop, is equally wonderful -- professional, kind, responsive, and a pleasure to deal with. Together, they run a business that genuinely cares about people, not just cars. If you're looking for a mechanic you can trust completely -- especially if you're a woman, a single parent, or part of the military community -- A 1 Vista Auto Repair is the place to go. Jesse has earned my loyalty for life, and I recommend him without hesitation.

Previous to using TJ Crossman's, I gave my business to two other auto repair shops in the N. Melrose auto park area. I will not embarrass them by using their names.

I was supposed to get it back the same say but eventually had to wait 1.5 day for a master cylinder replacement and a brake fluid bleed (had to call twice to get updates as to why the truck wasn't ready on Thursday) for a total of $350 +parts I purchased online (I could have done it myself but wanted a warranty on a brake job). I asked them to verify the steering fluid but didn't get any feedback about it. Generally speaking, I feel this shop is very professional. Please understand they go "by the book". Period.

They're thorough, honest and reasonable. I recently took my car in and described 2 issues I was having. Allen told me to go to the parts store, told me what to get and how to take care of it myself. Then he smiled and said, "I'll give you the easy ones...if it doesn't work bring it back." That cost me less than $20. AWESOME! Just yesterday I started hearing a noise in the front end. Kien knew exactly what it was and in a couple hours time it was taken care of and a lot less than I was anticipating. I guess it must have been going on for a while before I heard anything because not only is the noise gone but it's driving A LOT better than it has for the last couple of months. Thanks again!
