At the dealer I feel so much pressure to spend thousands of dollars on their recommended services with no explanation other than "this is a common issue". At royal junior always explains to me what needs to be done and what he recommends being done. Also if something is a known issue around a certain mileage he warns us and tells us to get ready for said repair within the next couple months. In short he helps us make a decision on what if anything needs to be done. Never been disappointed and I drive down from temecula to come here.

Eric Hall and the folks he works with are excellent…read more Started taking my 2017 M240xi here in the last few years. This place is a hidden gem. Service is excellent and they stand by their work. How do I know? My car has almost 100K miles on it. I love it too much to "upgrade" just yet. They have done a lot of work on it at this point. Recently there were issues after some work was done (the service they handled was typical wear and tear for this model). They honored it and handled it with zero resistance. No head games. No struggling with them over details. They handled CCV/PCV System replacement. Everything from the dealership is usually expensive but the price was reasonable for the guarantees they offered, the experience, loner included, and the work quality. Just folks with integrity quietly doing their thing in the background. Will be a customer here until the wheels fall of my m240.

I recently purchased a 2006 M3 through Alec with Ossen Autohaus…read more The buying experience could not have been better and the car was exactly as described. Alec went above and beyond, while we were were finishing the final paper work and as I was taking possession, we noticed a small dent when the sunlight hit it just right.

I would not hesitate to recommend Alec and Ossen Autohaus, whether your buying or selling, they offer professional dealer, services with no surprises.

THESE GUYS ARE GREAT!…read more Its been a few days since I bought my car from P & C Motors and I couldn't be happier with the results. P & C Motors is a small lot and possibly a little out of the way if you're not a local to the Escondido area however it is completely worth the time to call or visit their lot. I'd been visiting dealerships and sending out email asking about different cars for over a month and Glenn not only answered all my questions, he was also very friendly. This was the first time a sales person had talked to me like a person instead of being all "sales-y" So even though I live over an hour away, I made the trip out to meet Glenn and check out the car. After seeing the condition it was in (and the condition of the rest of their inventory) I was convinced these guys really make sure to only stock quality vehicles. I got a great car at a fair price. And most importantly the buying process was enjoyable. Do your self a favor and at least check out their website, its pretty standard fair but if they have a car in their inventory that matches what you are looking for, call them and go check them out. Its worth it.

Am surprised I'm the first one here--Absolute Saab is a fairly well regarded shop on Saabnet online…read more(which is how I found them). I hate to be the first one here and give my bad review, but it is what it is. I haven't been to Absolute Saab in awhile--and I only came once. My one experience wasn't a success so I never went back. I needed a Rear O2 sensor replaced. This is a inexpensive part and a really simple repair if this is really the problem you're having (you can get a Rear O2 sensor code with a lot of different problems that have nothing to do with the Rear O2 sensor--but that's a different story). Anyway--I had a new Rear O2 sensor put in. Check engine light went away, and my experience at the shop wasn't too bad so I was, overall, satisfied enough--for a little while. A few months later I get the same check engine light. Faulty part? No--I found out at another shop that it was put in improperly so all the wiring burned up on the exhaust. Huh? So I have the wiring replaced (which was quite inexpensive) and did fix the problem. But hearing "improper install" and "burned up" at another shop was enough to keep me from going back. I hope other reviewers will weigh in to give a broader assessment of the place. Ever since I have gone to other shops in San Diego or LA (Swedish Auto AB and Independent Saab in town, Swedecar and Right Solution out of town) and have been happy with those so I never felt compelled to give Absolute another try.

Paul Vail, the owner of Absolute Saab, is the smartest, most professional, reliable and honest…read moremechanic I've met. His expertise is the reason to own a Saab. If Paul serviced boats I'd start sailing. Saab owners own Saabs instead of, say, Hondas or Toyotas, because we're willing to trade some measure of reliability for performance and personality. We accept the possibility that something catastrophic may go wrong and pray the dealership won't charge us infinity dollars to get us back on the road. I called Absolute for the first time a few years ago, when the clutch went on my beloved 2000 9-5 Aero during a road trip out to San Diego. I decided to try Absolute because Paul sounded honest, but just to be sure I called my trusted mechanic back home (Pennsylvania), asked what I could expect to pay, and braced myself for 50% over. Paul called me every day to let me know how the repairs were coming and in the end I paid 50% *under*. As in *half* of what my own mechanic had estimated. This summer I again drove out to CA from PA. About 5 miles over Beartooth Pass, Montana, the turbocharger died. AAA towed us (me, my fiancee, and our dog) to the Saab Dealership in Billings, which diagnosed the problem and drew up an estimate. I paid the dealership the minimum to get the car running, asked my fiancee for her trust and patience, and together we drove the 1,318 miles (un-turbocharged) straight to Paul's shop. As usual, Paul called every day while he worked on the car. As usual, Paul worked around my schedule. And again the repairs cost significantly lower than expected. Thanks!
