Came here not knowing a thing about cars. They helped me with everything! I had ruined my manual transmission in my old toyota. they were able to fix it at a very reasonable price. I know they'll take care of me. Very friendly and willing to help however they can. read more

I read someone's review saying that Pete @ Jesco is great because he listened to the customers issues in addition to her car ......it is soo true ! I just got to take my car to see Pete yesterday, April 14th and always get to leave with "Peace of Mind!" Thank you Pete and the Jesco Team for 9-yrs of Peace of Mind and Over the Top Customer Service-- I love you guys ***** read more

I appreciated how Peter, the technician behind the counter made the time for me. My dashboard warning light indicator went on this morning. I was driving by and took a chance that they could advise me or direct me before a prior engagement in 30 minutes. They checked tire pressure and took care of my car's needs immediately. I really appreciate it! read more

Great service, the wait time isn't too bad. Peter up front really takes the time to get to know you and there are a lot of regulars who know him well. I had my alternator go out and they found very quickly that it was an oil leak right above it. I've gone here for my radiator leak as well and there has yet to be a bad experience. read more

I took my car hear because I thought my car was leaking. They looked at it and said it was going to cost close to $300. I took it somewhere else and they said it was a quick fix and charged me $50. A year later and my car is fine. I will never trust this place again :( read more

My husband & I called on a Saturday to see if they could solve & fix a worrisome noise coming from his Honda Civic. They asked if we could bring it in "now" and they found the problem and fixed it at a very reasonable price!! Done within an hour. Staff was friendly. We'll be going to Jesco from now on. read more

You really cannot get better than this place. Service is great. Work is done right. Prices are amazing. Peter has lots of integrity and he is very knowledgeable. read more

I am now a loyal customer of Jesco Auto Center, since 2006. When I moved from Temecula to Escondido, I asked a co-worker for recommendation for a Great car guy to have my oil changed--it turned out that 66% of my co-works only take their car to Pete at Jesco's! Today, my son and his friends are loyal customers and most of the business's here in Escondido rely on Jesco as well. EVERYONE NEEDS A MECHANIC THEY CAN TRUST! Thank you Jesco for taking such good care of me as your customer and my car needs! read more

So on a holiday weekend my starter decides to give out on my honda accord, i called just about every other place in town and they were all closed today or not willing to accept my 3rd party warranty. But Peter at Jesco was my savior he didn't hesitate to accept my warranty and to get the job done! He did a great and fast job! Jesco has definitely made a new customer with me. read more

It is so hard to find a trustworthy mechanic- am I right? After using a competitor for years we switched to Jesco and couldn't be happier. Honest, knowledgeable, and practical. He will save money for you when he can, and let you know if now is not the time to try and stretch. We won't be taking any of our cars anywhere else. read more

Peter is responsible and honest and has done excellent work on our cars! Do not hesitate to use his services because you will be very impressed. read more

What an excellent experience I had here with the owner Peter. I literately drove by, asked a question through the window of my car and Peter had my BMW on the rack in less than 5 min. He had my car all fixed up in less than an hour. I highly recommend you try this shop. I will be back. Thanks guys!!!! read more

My husband and I started coming to Peter's shop when one of our cars broke down at home. Came out in the morning and his 10 years old mitsubishi outlander wouldn't run correctly. Peter fixed the issue within one day and that was only because he had to order parts. He gave us a break on the price even. We have had brakes done on both the outlander and my 2007 Saturn Ion. My struts have been replaced. My oil pan replaced. Peter is honest, fair, efficient, very professional and gives you choices. The prices are so much less than I have paid at a couple of other local places I won't go back to. And you can tell he cares about your customer experience. The shop is immaculate, including the bathroom. There is water, tea, snacks, nice leather chairs to sit in, coffee. The mechanics are always polite and clean. I won't take my cars anyplace else. read more

My family has been coming to Jesco for well over a decade, and have entrusted many of our cars to Peter. He always gives us an honest and fair price for necessary repairs and does not try to upsell as many mechanics are notorious for doing. Peter always completes our repairs in a timely manner and stays in touch throughout the process. I'll definitely keep bringing my car here! read more

Peter is hands down the best, most trusted mechanic I've ever known. My family and I have been going to him for years. He has even gone above and beyond with getting me help when my car was broke down years ago... He is a family man, he is a hard worker and gets the job done perfect. So glad we have him is Escondido!!! read more

Jesco Auto is the best mechanic I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Needed a second used automatic transmission replacement and Peter helped me get it done with a discount and longer warranty than the last replacement. Buying used parts is a gamble but the customer service gem in Peter makes life worth smiling about again. Thank you for being my excellent, trustworthy mechanic. I bless you, Jesco Auto Center. read more

I have been bringing my vehicles to Peter at Jesco for over 15 years and will not go to any other auto repair shop. They are the most honest, reliable and knowledgeable mechanic shop around and really care about their customers and doing excellent work. I cant say enough good things about Jesco and how i have been treated over the years. If you care about the safety of yourself and your family and want honest service and recommendations, Jesco is the place to bring your cars. read more

Not recommended My car was handling horrible. Took it here per a recommendation. Never again. Pros: quick to look at car. Good hours (including Saturday). Friendly and personable. Comfortable waiting area. Cons: great salesman skills. After putting over $1k into repairs car still handled as bad as before the work. Brought it back in and they said they couldn't find anything specifically wrong but could replace a few more things, one at a time, until it was fixed. Sounded like a lot of money to spend without a solution. Car got worse so took it to another shop for a second opinion. That mechanic detected right away what the issue was and felt bad for me seeing all the extra/unnecessary work that had been already done (wasted money). When I questioned original shop on it the owner defended his shop stating that what work I paid for per invoice was completed (I can't argue that... Completed but unnecessary!!!) Recommendation: Do NOT go here. Tip: nothing in life is free. I thought it was so nice and above and beyond when they took care of a burnt out bulb and replaced fuses as courtesy. (I'm sure I paid for it, hidden in the overpriced unnecessary work that was done). Summery: Referrals, being convenient and outward kindness doesn't guarantee honest work. Learn from my regret, Go somewhere else. read more

They are quick and efficient. I think I may have dealt with the owner. Customer service oriented! I went in for a smog test with no appt. He got me out in less than 15 min! Thanks! read more

This place is super shady, and their techniques are outdated. They were unprofessional. I went there to save a buck but if you care at all about your vehicle, I would advise not to go there. I had an appointment and I even showed up 5 minutes early for my appointment, then they said to wait an hour because the mechanic just went to lunch....two hours later they finally came back. I Went for an engine flush, they told me I needed new shocks, but I had just them replaced, then they took the car out for a test drive without my permission. When they gave me my car back like 3 hours later now already waiting 5 hours my window stopped working... The place is owned by Asians and I felt like they were racist because of the way I was treated. read more

Service is excellent at Jesco! I've had three cars and they have done work on every single one. From oil changes, brakes, tires, to extensive engine diagnosis. They know their cars and perform services at high quality and in a timely fashion. Highly recommended for all auto needs. read more

I took my Mazda 6 into this shop after it started running rough. Peter had it diagnosed and fixed by the next day for a very reasonable price. This shop did a great job and I would highly recommend them. read more

My family has been taking our cars to Peter for over 10 years plus! He kept my Tahoe running for 9 years. And now I lease and I bring them to him, never to the dealership. As a woman it us comforting to know I can drop my car off and when Peter calls me I am getting a fair and honest price plus he cares about my safety while driving it. My children are adults and bring their cars to him now too. Why would you go anywhere else. read more

I highly recommend getting your car serviced at Jesco Auto! Peter, the owner, is very honest and has done a great job servicing mine and my wife's car for the 10 years. I know of 5 people from my company that take their cars to Peter and all are always pleased with their experience at Jesco. I am very confident that Peter will always do what is best for my car. So, if you looking a honest, friendly, service oriented, mechanic call Peter. read more

You'd better take all the repairs on the recommendation list or not one at all, otherwise a single fix will be overpriced, and on purpose create more invisible severe problems that force you to take the car back for extra repairs. Not sincere person. read more

I have been to this repair shop three times, to replace my headlights and more major repairs for the engine, but so far so good. Very quick and courteous, haven't had any problems at all. They had my car ready in no time and actually took the time to explain and show what was wrong, instead of just handing me the bill. Prices seemed reasonable, or so I think. read more

Exceptional customer service! Out of ALL the auto repair shops in Escondido, this place is the best. I'm glad I towed my car there that night. They are professional and trust worthy! The key thing is you never feel ripped off. Big shout out to Jesco Auto Center!!! read more

These guys are great. Everytime I take my older vehicle in, they really take good care of it. Any time they find an "issue" with the van, they take me out to the shop area and show me the problem. I am always treated with respect. The work is done professionally and in a timely manner and their prices are way less than the "name brand" place I used to have my vehicle serviced. I cannot say enough good about them AND they are open on Saturday which is a big help when you work all week. I really feel like they value me as a customer and not just my money. It is good to support local small business also. read more

Peter helped me with my truck and I drove off happy, I recommend this shop..thank you Peter
