Fallbrook Auto Works was recommended to me by a family member, and now I completely understand why. I had to drop my car off at 12 AM using their after-hours drop box, and they called me first thing in the morning as soon as they opened. Within a few short hours, they had already diagnosed the issue and provided a full update. A special shoutout to Jessica, who coordinated everything for me over the phone and via text. She was extremely kind, clear, and patient, walking me through each step and making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. What really impressed me was the transparency and technology they use -- they sent me a full digital diagnostic report with photos, test results, and recommendations. It made it easy to understand exactly what was going on with my car. Even more impressive: instead of charging me for unnecessary repairs, they did the extra research and discovered that my issue -- a failed Thermo Control Valve (TCV) -- was covered under Subaru's extended warranty (TSB 09-119-24). They explained everything clearly, tested the part by unplugging it and confirming the codes disappeared, and helped me realize I could get the repair done for free at my dealership. Thanks to their honesty and due diligence, they may have saved me thousands of dollars. My car is now at Subaru awaiting warranty repair, and I wouldn't have known any of this if it weren't for their integrity and professionalism. Fallbrook Auto Works goes above and beyond -- not just in skill, but in how they treat people. I'm incredibly grateful and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a shop that values honesty, technology, and customer care. read more

We are from out of town and looking for a convenient place to get a second opinion on the "weird noise" our car was making. The first place we went to quoted us $1600 for a new control arm and shocks. Jessica answered the phone with such enthusiasm and so willing to fit us in, we definitely had to go although Fallbrook was 6 miles off the I-15. Boy are we glad we did!!! They did a full diagnostic to find out there was nothing wrong with the control arm or shocks but just the heat shield that was bent and rubbing against something causing the noise. They fixed it for nothing more than the cost of the diagnostic. AWESOME service and everybody there was sooooo friendly and great!! We were so impressed and 1000% satisfied with Fallbrook Auto Works. Definitely worth the extra drive if you're looking for reliable and honest auto services!!! read more

Should be called garbage garage. The mechanics there are completely incompetent. They ruined my car, admitted it, and then quickly denied it when they realized that I wasn't going to just let them get away with it. Seriously, take your car here at your own risk. read more

Fast to get to the issue of the car and was able to fix it asap. Very communicative and very nice! Price was reasonable being the issue was unexpected expense. read more

Iv Been going to Eric's shop for 5 years now and I'm disappointed to say that's after my last experience with him. I refuse to bring my vehicle back. Eric threatened me into removing my google review. I was told if it wasnt removed he wasnt going to warrenty the vehicle. After 5 months and 4500$ Eric voided my warrenty and wont fix any of the damage his poor mechanic work caused. Eric is unprofessional, arrogant, and unqualified to perform the jobs he charges thousands of dollars for. Unless you like to pay lots of your hard earned money to a shop that doesn't care to make right there mystakes, Then I would recommend anyone else in town other then fallbrook auto works. read more

I've been going to Fallbrook Auto Works for years now. All my vehicles and my Suzuki always get the best in auto repair care there. The fees for the repairs are far better than other places I've been to in town. Eric and his crew are the most professional I've had in dealing with mechanics. Some places tend to think women don't know a lot about vehicles, and I don't get that with these guys. I would highly recommend taking your vehicles that are in need of repair or just general maintenance to Fallbrook Auto Works. Thanks Eric for all you do to keep my wheels running! read more

Had an alternator die out and I had my vehicle towed here. Excellent service, and excellent front office. Jessica was super responsive and very knowledgeable when I came in with a million questions. Everything was very straightforward and the prices are very reasonable. read more

I have had two of my cars fixed there and was happy with both experiences. Fixed the problems for a fair price.

Had taken my daughter's car into town to get smog'd. Didn't pass! A plastic air duct assembly had weathered and needed to be replaced. Went to Fallbrook Auto Works and was given a very reasonable quote and told they would fit in the installation as soon as the part arrived so I could get it back to the Smog shop the same day. Unfortunately, the 10-15-minute installation was a bit more challenging, and it took over an hour to install the part. To their credit, they stood by their original fee for service quote! Good on you Eric and staff. This is why I have been coming to Fallbrook Auto Works with all my vehicles for the last 20 years. It is good to have a doctor, dentist and an Auto mechanic you trust!! read more

I took my car in because it would run for a little while and then quit. When I let it set for an hour or so it would run again and then stop. Eric, the owner, was very nice and I paid him again and again because he said he did work and he said it was fixed but, It was never fixed by him. He had my car for about a year, I drove my truck. Sometimes it would take Eric more than a month to fix it again. Eventually I took my car to different repair shops. I had all my receipts, including one for a used computer. All the shops told me everything had been done for my car to fix my complaint. They said there was nothing more they could do. Then a guy noticed that my "used" computer did not have the scribbling on it that is usually seen on used parts. He suspected the computer had not been replaced. He replaced the computer. The car has run like a top ever since. Eric, the owner of Fallbrook Auto Works charged me for a used computer that he did not purchase or install. My car's problem was fixed as soon as another computer was installed. I am an 80 year old woman. Eric took my money, my time and my energy for a year. He is a very bad person. read more

I would just like to take the time to thank the employees of Fallbrook Auto works. Not only were they quick, friendly, accommodating, and reliable, they go above and beyond. My actual payment turned out to be $200 less than the quote. My car trucked in there on the brink of exploding (figuratively), and came out as good as new. Another cool thing was that Ricardo and Joey took the time out of their busy schedule to teach me about the ins and outs of the repair because I mentioned that I'm just trying to learn. Overall a very awesome and positive first experience at the mechanic. Thanks! read more

It's pretty sad they had to hire someone for the front desk that is only interested in money and not the customers interest. My family has used this company for years and years. NOT ANY MORE! read more

Super nice employees. They fixed my vehicle in a reasonable amount of time, and I was happy with the work they did. I will be back!!!

Joey and his team were able to help me fix issues that I had with my GMC Yukon XL. I ended up having an issue with a throttle body that I had installed about a year ago so I brought it back and they helped fix it under warranty. From my experience, these guys are honest and look out for you as a customer. They have earned themselves a loyal customer as I will be returning for any other needs that eventually arise. read more

Absolute liars. Don't trust this shop. They like to take advantage of women even when their husband specifically says to call HIM. Completely disregarded what i actually took my car in for and tried to tell me my car might need thousands of dollars in repairs. read more

Set up the appointment to get my ECU tested and gave them my phone number to call for any decision making. They completely disregarded that and called my wife to approve further repairs. They lied about waiving diagnostic fees if problems weren't found and then completely lied about the diagnostics themselves. Told my wife the car would need a new engine or new heads entirely based on their compression test showing 1 cylinder was extremely low(which wasn't actually the case at all when the compression was tested after elsewhere. The compressions were FINE!) After I realized what they were doing, I went to the shop to pick my car up and they wanted to charge me almost $500 for looking at my car for an hour and then lying to me about what's wrong with it!! Would NOT recommend and I honestly have no idea how they're still in business. They take advantage of women and acted shady during the entire process. read more

These guys are the best! Super friendly, honest, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend taking your car to Fallbrook Autoworks!

This mechanic is the best! This wasn't my first time here so I think it's fair to say that. The service was prompt-Eric is very helpful and upfront about pricing and details. The staff are very helpful and professional. Pricing is VERY fair. I really have had great experiences with this shop and highly recommend it!!! read more

I went to Fallbrook Auto Works for a concern about a low/dead battery. Had no appointment just showed up. The front desk manager was on top of it!!! He said he had a mechanic available to look at my car. Within 45 minutes my car was driving off the lot with a new battery and fluids filled. EVERYTIME I come to Fallbrook Auto Works, they have been friendly and most important HONEST. I appreciate a repair shop in town that I know will treat a women ( that does not know much about cars,) to not come back to you with a list of problems. 100% Recommended! These guys are GREAT. Only repair shop I go too. Thank you guys at Fallbrook Auto Works read more

Susie and whomever the mechanic was who fixed my ac we're beyond beyond beyond incredible. They're so honest, absolutely come through in regard to deadlines/parts arriving, and best of all just do wonderful work. Highly recommend for any of your automotive needs! read more

My dad and I have taken many cars to Eric and his crew. They always do great work at a great price. And the best yet, if you're a girl and go in by yourself you're not gonna get hoped like most places. Everyone here is knowledgeable and great. They have felt with me calling them and are always nice (even wouldn't blame them for doing an eye roll when they hear my name Lol). No seriously they're great. Called them today to ask a question about some work that was not done there and they gave me their thoughts. They rock. Eric and all of you, thanks for the great service. I am sorry to be moving because I will loose my trusted mechanic . read more

I had a problem with my Mazda and took it to a mechanic. He couldn't figure it out and he told me to go Fallbrook auto works. Eric fixed it that day and I have been going there ever sense. read more

Demand a full written estimate and tell them you won't pay if they work on the vehicle without getting your signature on a detailed written estimate. If they work on the car without your signed permission, you don't have to pay. Don't mistake friendliness for looking out for your best interests. read more

This might be long... I'm a single mother and not only did my truck stop working, but after the repairs, my daughters car needed repairs. 100% love these guys. Having repairs needed sucks no matter what- knowing that these guys treat you like family and having them truly support me in helping my daughter get back on the road - is priceless. Watching people walk in and out of their shop just to say "hi" or watching them great their customers on a first name basis is nothing short of impressive. They work hard. They are honest. It's obvious that they have lifetime clients - 1 woman sat and talked to the owner about what has been happening in her life and having the owner listen - attentively- she as exactly what the world is missing in terms of auto care. I literally will not bring my vehicle anywhere else in the future- they became my village. Offering to help pick me up or drop me off was just an additional display of a small business that truly cares. They are dog friendly, too so ... walk in and you'll see dog toys, bowls and food - plus treats. Come on- need I say more? read more

Eric is very rude and a big liar. Takes advantages of women that dont know anything about mechanics. My mother took her truck and it took more than 4 year just to fix the electrical problem. We received the truck with missing parts, scratches, broken inside and out. OVERALL BAD EXPERIENCE. I kindly called to get an estimate on when the car was going to be ready because my mother was getting ignored and the round around back and forth. I finally got a hold of Eric and he personally stated that he had never received a call from my mother (lier). He informed me that he personally was going to be present when I pick up the truck. He was never to he found and his assistant is very blunt and rude. This truck was never used was just sitting in the garage due to electrical problems. We received it with no radio working, no ac, seats damaged, stained and ripped, horn wasn't working parts of the car where missing overall big huge loss and had the nerve to tell me that I still HAD TO PAY AMD THEY WHERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMGE. If they didnt park the car in an unsecured area maybe the truck will still be NEW! WARNING DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE YOU WILL GET A HUGE LOSS! read more

See all

What an amazing shop. Not only do they do great work, but the owner has a heart of gold. He is not out to make a buck, he is seriously looking out for others safety. I have had nothing but great service here with great friendly people! words can really never describe their level of service and customer service. they go way above and beyond. if something happens to my car now i dont even panic i quickly call eric and he tells me to get right in and they will take care of it asap love them!!!!! read more

The owner lies about the repairs so they can charge more. We went here for a simple brake job and after ripping us off with their "repairs", we wound up going to the dealer and had it fixed correctly. Cost us much more than if we went to a qualified mechanic. Never again! read more

I am straight up with my reviews. I don't mess around and I tell it like it is. Eric at Fallbrook Auto Works is the same way. He doesn't hassle you or make up fake auto problems to get more money. He tells you exactly what is wrong and gets himself going. No games, no BS. And if there is something that is not directly related to the repair itself, but he feels that it is necessary to get the job done, he does it and wont charge. I had an AC leak and he put in the dye to find it. No charge for that when other mechs. would have tacked on $5 at least. I once had a hell of an electrical problem. I was charged the first time, but had to come back when the problem came back. Eric made the decision not to charge me again when I had to bring the car back due to the fact I had already brought it in once. Not only is he honest, but that last part shows he is HONORABLE. I come in for everything now and I recommend all my friends to him. Thanks, Eric. People always say "I'll take it to MY mechanic". It took a long time, but I finally have MY mechanic. read more

Looking for an honest, reliable and budget friendly mechanic? LOOK NO FURTHER! These guys and gal are rockstars that have saved my bootie... I mean Honda Pilot on many occassions. I have referred friends that were also very happy with service and pricing. Try them out, you won't be sorry! read more

Eric will have a customer for life. Very trustworthy and helpful. We have beeing bringing our old and new cars to him for the past 2-3 years. You can count on professional, fast and honest service every time. read more

So thankful we found this repair shop! My husband's Cadillac broke down on his way to work, around 5pm. We were pretty certain it was the alternator. This repair shop was one that was close by and had good ratings. I called and spoke with Susie and she was very kind and helpful. She was able to tell me how much it would cost. After my husband got off of work, we dropped the car off before they opened. I called right when they opened at 8am and Susie said she had ordered the alternator the day before, just in case, and it was already delivered. The car was done about 2pm that same day. We are so grateful for this great shop. Prices were very fair as well. read more

Super quick, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant! All I needed was a new battery and everything was great. Thanks for the quick turnaround and fair pricing! Happy holidays! read more

My car blew up. Looked on yelp for an auto place In fallbrook because I'm not familiar with the area. This place had great reviews so I took it over there. Left Monica (2008 mustang) there while I went to work, got a call from Eric a few hours later with the problem and he was generous enough to fix her without a payment up front. Granted it was only $250 he was still generous enough to help me out. Swung by after they closed,he was still there, I paid for it and took her home. It's been 4 days now and she's running great! Super nice people, no waiting around inside the office either. Should monica ever act up again I'll bring it back here! As for what happened to my mustang... Blown thermostat housing. Less than $250 out the door... Great and honest mechanic. read more

You turn the key...the engine won't catch. UGH!! What do ya do? Get it over to Fallbrook Auto Works! Eric and his team are Awesome! Did you catch the Capital "A"? They were fast, courteous and professional! Turns out it was my Camshaft Position Sensor. The phones were ringing off the hook and they were SUPER BUSY, but I was able to drop off and pick up my car the same day. Glad we found them, they're a keeper! Thanks guys and gal (met Eric's wife tonight) ;) read more

Where do I start... not only do they only use dealer parts when that's what the car calls for but there work is outstanding and there customer service is beyond great.
