This place was great. They were able to get me in the day I called and after explaining what was going on with my car and that I needed a second opinion they were happy to help. Not only were they quick and accommodating but they saved me over $500 with their findings. They also fixed a small hose that was slightly cracked free of charge. Like I said I had been told what the issue might be and was told it was going to be $700 if not more at another shop. But after doing a little research the numbers and problem didn't match the cost of repairs. Happy I got a second opinion, just wish I hadn't paid the other shop for diagnostic and stressed about the cost. read more

We took our car here at the recommendation of a good friend and what a winning rec! I have to confess to being jaded when it comes to dealing with mechanics... you never know what you're going to get. Well I'll tell you what you're gonna get with Jim. A no nonsense, knowledgeable, skilled and, most importantly, HONEST mechanic. He took care of what needed to be done at a very fair price and did so as quickly as possible. We even had an issue afterward and he took care of it immediately at no additional cost. I would not hesitate to send any friend or family member to Jim! read more

I would take my car here for simple little things, but tbh I had a horrible experience here, if you speak English then yes the guy at the desk will be nice , but if you speak Spanish you meet this really rude guy, and they charged me 2,000$ for something that did not even fix the problem, I don't even want to go back, just to not deal with that rude guy again . read more

If you need a mechanic in Oceanside are he is priced very reasonably and great customer service. Jim is great and honest man, I called him at 10:30pm on a Tuesday and he answered and help me out. My son's car broke down and needed a starter and Jim made it happen. As a mom he was 149 miles away from where my son broke down it was a bit stressful. But Jim and Chris came through and made it happen by mid-day the next day. read more

Car worked on: 2012 Honda Civic CNG The car suddenly had trouble starting on Sunday, which makes it a hassle to find any service and help. I'm not from the area and was visiting so I wasn't familiar with any local mechanics or shops. After a quick search I called up Jim and he answered the phone, was easy to talk to, and I had the car towed there. We sat down, he asked me questions to see what the problem(s) might be, and let me know they wouldn't be able to get it done that day because they were already booked which was very understandable since this was all very last minute. We both thought it's probably the starter but he took his time to explain he would do some testing to narrow down the issue and make sure it was solved. He called me up the next day, let me know they confirmed it was the starter, let me know the estimate (which was exact to the total I was charged) and called me a couple hours later to let me know the car was ready for pickup. If you work on cars, you know what kind of tedious and frustrating work is involved in changing a starter especially in small engine bay, front wheel drive cars. They weren't looking for a quick buck, and they provided me with a quick turn around time with a great price to get my car back up and running. It starts with no issues at all now and I couldn't be happier with the service. Thank you to Jim and his team! I would happily recommend this shop to anyone looking for a mechanic shop with honest hardworking people. read more

Terrible! I called in and asked for an oil change. The owner said he could do the next day at 4pm. I show up at 3:50 pm and he tells me " Oh I can get you in tomorrow". I had to drive a ways to get to him and he didn't give me a heads up. Very poor business practice. No professionalism at all. Will not be surprised if this place stays stagnant. read more

Brought my dad's car here for minor work. Reasonable price and relatively fast service. It's little out of my way, but would still come back. read more

It is interesting reading reviews and when I see negative review so different from the majority of reviews I always wonder if a jealous competitor is purposely making a negative review or motivated by their sour attitude. Jim has worked on our two cars over the years and every time the results were excellent and labor prices very reasonable. The man is fair and honest. read more

The definition of neighborhood mechanic. My mechanic automotive was super great at communicating from the first phone call. He answered quickly, asked him if he was able to do the repair I needed and he gave me a quote. Upon arrival, He was super friendly and honest about the work that was needed. Also suggested some other repairs that would be needed to keep my old car, driving. Definitely will be using him for future services. read more

My Mechanic Automotive - Serpentime Belts - Auto Repair Near Me - Oceanside, California

It was a Friday of a 3-day weekend, at 5 pm. Thirty-five minutes from our destination, we encountered a problem with our Dodge 2500. By chance, we found this very reliable and honest shop. We left the truck for a morning diagnostic and Ubered the rest of the way to our hotel. We were fully prepared to rent a car and leave the truck for the week so the shop could repair it. However, early Saturday morning, the mechanic called and said the wheel hubs and front suspension needed to be repaired. IF the mechanic could obtain parts, the truck would be done and ready to be picked up by 5 pm. It was done by 3:30 pm and at a VERY reasonable price. We can not express how grateful we were to have found My Mechanic Automotive. We hope this shop does well, and we are sad that they are not closer to us. read more

I scheduled a mobile oil change that was cancelled 4 times! Basically everyday I had it scheduled, I would get a confirmation email and then within an hour of the appointment the mechanic would cancel it! I ended up going somewhere and wasting my Saturday morning because of them! read more

My family of 5 was headed to Carlsbad this weekend and my 2012 Honda Odyssey failed us. The check charging system light came on and within 5 minutes everything electrical in the car was malfunctioning or out and the car was lurching in a frightening way. Pulled off the road and called AAA but had no idea where to take it. I ended up calling and Jim replaced the alternator for us. It's only been a couple of days but so far so good, the car is running fine (now about those other issues, Honda!). I'd definitely recommend Jim @ My Mechanic. BTW, if you do get stranded here for a few hours at least you're also close to the pier and the beachside areas of Oceanside as well. read more

Great and honest guys oh and OPEN SUNDAYS!! I was in a bit of trouble and had to have my car towed home (really expensive since I live far) or To a nearby shop. They were the only place that was open on sundays!! I replaced My serpentin belt, water pump, and coolant all for a great price! I highly recommend them!! Saved my butt read more

Unfortunately Jim ripped us off! He charged us twice the amount of what he should have and our car had the exact same problem 4 months later. He claimed it was a different problem but after taking it to another mechanic it was confirmed that Jim did terrible work and it was indeed the same issue.We spoke to him to try and get him to make things right but he refused and hung up. We will never go to him again! read more

DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS COMPANY. THEY CANCELED 3 TIMES. 3 TIMES. The 1st time Tabitha said she did not have the part. The 2nd time she had the wrong part and arranged to get the correct part. The 3rd time she once again claimed she had the wrong part. This is just too ridiculous. I have ben waiting over 2 weeks to get my car repaired. Unreliable and liars, read more

I'd give them 10 stars if I could!!! I I had the transmission go out in my 2005 Yukon and called around to a few places all of which wanted to give me the standard "Well, bring it in and we'll take it apart and we'll look first and then we'll give you a price".. I called Jim and he asked for make, Model, and VIN then gave me a price right over the phone. Having already priced the parts online I knew he was giving me a fair deal. I agree I would bring it down to him he agreed to order the part and that was on Tuesday... I had keys in hand with a perfectly running vehicle by Friday afternoon. Fast, Knowledgeable, Honest service at a great price!! Let's face it, that is unheard of today, I'm still in shock! I have recommended them at least three times since then and plan to go back anytime one of my vehicles needs a service. read more

I'm 72 years of age and know a good amount about cars. I own a 1966 Mustang which was having a problem with the car stalling after you put it in gear when it's cold . The fast idle is working but I needed to have some adjustments made to the carburator. I called "My Mechanic" to have some one come out and resolve the problem. The mechanic they sent out specialized in foreign cars and was not familiar with older cars and with carburators. They charged me $89.95 and all they did was turn up the idle which I could have done myself. This did not solve the problem. When I called them back and explained that nothing had been fixed, they said "I'm sorry but that's the charge for coming out and making any recommendations. These people misrepreseted themselves and are dishonest. I would strongly not RECOMMEND them to anyone. read more

Very pleased with brake service. Work accomplished at price quoted and on time.
