I called the week before to make an appointment for my 95 F150 for an oil change and door that wouldn't lock and a sound I was hearing that I assumed was a belt. I spoke to Rex throughout the whole process and he was so great. He was so quick to let me know what technicians found and what the process was to fix each issue. I had taken my truck here before to have some other issues fixed and was just as impressed. Rex is so professional, knowledgeable and really easy to work with. They also helped me out by letting me drop my truck off early since I had a work trip pop up. So great I highly recommend! read more

We've been bringing our family cars to Mike and Rex for 7 years. They are reliable and most importantly, honest. It's nice to have someone you can trust taking care of you. read more

I am so grateful to have found NCAS!! They are very thorough and trustworthy. It's been over a year since some joker in San Marcos told me I needed brakes like "yesterday". My van is now well maintained by honest people who do enough business they don't need to upsale. - They also have a key drop if you need to get to work early. read more

Had a minor scratch on my jeep but Jose was able to get us in and fix her up. Great job, great customer service and they got the job done on a timely manner. Best auto repair shop in town and reasonable prices too! Ask for Jose, he's the best! read more

If you want excelled service and quality Work... these guys will take care of you!! Thanks again guys !! I am beyond wicked stoked and stress free now!! read more

I'm not a mechanic, don't know a lot about cars and especially not a lot about hybrids. I was having trouble, contacted No County Auto. I was able to get in and out in no time, problem fixed, I was treated like an old friend, reasonable cost. What more can you ask for? They did not try to sell me a new thumbjigger nor a brake job. A BIG YES and 2 thumbs up. read more

Spent nearly $10k on fixing my truck last year coming back month after month. Faulty parts, one fix caused another problem, always something new, and conveniently I always had to pay for the visit. Guess what...it ended up dying anyways a month after the least "fix". Now my jeep is acting up again, conveniently, right after the warranty on parts is expired! Personally, did not feel honest service was rendered here for either of my vehicles. read more

I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. When you buy a Jeep everyone tells you to go only to Jeep specialists.. I feel very safe to say North county auto service are now my Jeep specialists. My Jeep had been going into limp mode traction control lights coming on and had begun to overheat.. 2 separate things at the same time! Rex took my Jeep beast in 110$ full diagnostic (waived, if you have the work done there) They were able to get the Jeep in that morning and we got an estimate within a few hours. Original quote was over 800$ on the low end.. over heating was a leaky thermostat.. limp mode was a sensor... Took 2 tries to get the right sensor, but Rex didn't give up, and nailed it! Jeep no longer revs high, she sounds beautiful.. a weird engine noise has gone completely.. In total the final cost was just over 700$... That's less then the original quote!! With my business being closed due to covid shut down.. I was quite worried about bringing my Wrangler in at all.. However now she's better then ever and ready to get off grid again! Mike, the owner, even texted the next day to see how it was running. The Service at North County Auto Service goes above and beyond. Honest, fast and follow up. Can't beat it! read more

North County Auto Service - Happy Jeeper!!! - Auto Repair Near Me - Oceanside, California

These guys are great, I have taken my truck to them for multiple things now. They treat me better than the real dealership.

Once again, Mike, Rex and the North County Auto Service team came through for us. Our 2013 Infinity JX35 AC compressor failed, and the dealership wanted over $2k for a replacement! So I called my friends at NCAS, Mike and Rex, we get a quote fo much less then 1/2 of that price, including the OEM compressor for that vehicle. The work was done in less than a day, fully repaired, and working to spec. As usual, Rex and Mike treated us like family, and their team did excellent work. NCAS has taken on many jobs for us over the years for both classic cars and contemporary, and they have never disappointed us. I have referred many friends their who too have been nothing less than satisfied with their work and how they were treated as customers and as friends. Thank you Mike, Rex and everyone else at North County Auto Service! See you again soon! read more

Well I am happy to say I've been able to find a place that is honest and skilled at what they do. At North County Auto you, and your car are treated with care and respect.

On 8/17/22, I was traveling back from a business dinner in OC at night and my friend noticed that my headlights were not working. I quickly found North County Auto Service near my residence and they quickly booked me the following day. Found it I had a burnt bulbs issue. Two days later they not only fixed my headlights but followed up with a text (Mike) to ensure my headlights were in working order but to ensure I was safe. As a single, working Mom I cannot express how much I appreciated that and the cost of the repairs was with in my budget. I am now a long term customer! read more

I took my Volt here for a 90k service, and they did an amazing job. Friendly, prompt, and fairly priced.

Been taking my cars here for years. Car maintenance and repairs are expensive but necessary! Mike and his crew will keep your car going and they won't try to sell you on extra services or unnecessary fluff. Prices are always fair and they'll give you the straight story. They'll give you a price and stick to it and your car will be ready when they say it will be! Great, reliable local business. read more

Just entered the truck world. Bought a used truck that has needed some work to get running smoothly again. I've always taken my cars to the dealership for service but after a couple rough goes with Ford I asked a bunch of friends if they knew of any private shops. A buddy of mine referred me to these guys. They have been amazing! Really good communication, quality work, nice guys that listen and are easy to get a hold of to ask questions too. I'll be coming here going forward. Thanks Mike, Rex and crew! read more

My go-to auto shop for when I was living in Southern California. Absolutely unmatched quality, timeliness, pricing and customer service. I would highly recommend the place to anybody. read more

Great service. Rex and team are very professional, reliable and fast. I highly recommend them for your auto service.

I love this place! I am always hesitant trusting mechanics. However, I saw their good reviews and they were close by so I decided to try them out. I have not and will not take my cars to any other shop now! They are responsive and honest about what needs to be fixed, what can wait, and how long it will take. Cost is pretty standard compared to all other places I've been to, and again I know they will do a good job so it's even better! read more

So grateful to have found this place. Mike and Rex go above and beyond and are very professional and straightforward. I appreciate Rex's honest and clear communication. Five stars! read more

Better service than Carlsbad Lexus at a fair price. Mike's hidden behind an auto dealer on the Coast Hwy, but well worth finding. I've used No Co Auto for years and would highly recommend. Thank you again Mike and Rex for installing my factory mud flaps that most shops couldn't handle and it only took 30 minutes and was 1/5th the labor charge. read more

Best in the business. Polite, Professional, Honest, Accommodating. I spent 30 years in grocery. I know what customer service is. Mike and Rex and the crew read more

Glad I got to see their work ethic/attitude before bringing my business or referring anyone here. Called and asked for estimates. Told him im staying at a domestic violence shelter & that they get the funds for repairs approved but that I need estimates. Because he said what i already know, its better to bring it in & have it diagnosed. But since thats not an option, I asked for estimates. He said he gets ppl in my situation calling all the time & its just a waste of his time. Well, with that attitude MIKE I can see why women fleeing DOMESTIC VIOLENCE dont find you appealing. Was treated with Kindness & Respect @ Jorge Alonso Auto Repair. He said hes helped many women in my situation. Had me send pics over & was MORE than willing to help me. Will be taking my car to Jorge Alonso for this repair, and any future repairs. As well as my referrals.. bc you better believe the women "in my situation" remember who helped them in a time of need. I didnt ask for a damn thing free- simple estimates. Sorry that was too much for you. But its PART OF THE BUSINESS BUDDY! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Rex is always great at explanation, the guys work hard and do what I call old fashion work, meaning they do it the right way and don't try to rip you off. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

I dropped off a Dodge Ram Dually at their location for pre-purchase inspection. These guys are extremely professional, very knowledgeable and they do an amazing job. Very satisfied with their service and I highly recommend this mechanic shop for all your vehicle needs ranging from normal services, inspections and to much more. Thank you Rex, thank you Mike and the technician that did such an amazing job and they were so honest and upfront with everything ranging from first call scheduling the appointment to going over the details and final payment. Thank you again highly recommend this shop. read more

I worked with Rex both times I've interacted with North County Auto Service. This body shop is as honest as it gets. The second time I called, I was actually educated further on my car's issue from a diagnostic test and was not pressured to proceed with the suggested repairs. Left the option up to me and let me know what the risks were (in this case it was just a strut boot, previous place suggested i replace the entire strut!) They let me know that it could wait since there were no dangers to the passengers or the car itself. +5 stars for customer service I definitely plan to continue business North County Auto Service for my (~140K miles and running strong) lexus read more

Made an online appointment thru their website on June 25th for an oil change at 11 am on June 29th. Got multiple texts and 1 email confirming the appointment. I show up early and am told that they do not do oil changes after 9 am. WTF??? Guy basically said the online appointments don't work. They had days to figure that out and call me to either change or cancel me out. Guess it was too much trouble. Here is the kicker. I have a warranty contract with RepairPal, which they are a part of. They would have locked in a new repeating customer for 5 years. Now all they have is this lousy Yelp to remember me by. Adios NCAS. Won't ever make that mistake again. Got to go, have a phone call to RepairPal to make now. read more

N. County Auto Service is the place to take your vehicle if you are looking for an honest owner and good mechanics. I called every jeep service dealershi and many non jeep and FINALLY found this place. I was lucky enough to speak with Mike the owner and told him I've never had a tune up or brake job since I bought the jeep. I asked to have many things fixed and Mike said they would test them before replacing them and come to find d out what I wanted fixed didn't need to be fixed but my brakes and rotors were dangerously low. I could technically say he saved my life but, I'm thankful they find the problems that need to be fixed rather replace what I think needs to when what I thought was fine. Take your cars, trucks, jeeps here. Ask for Mike he's way cool but honest!!. read more

North County Auto Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Oceanside, California

Broke down on the freeway on our way down to graduation at UCSD. Mike was a heaven sent who saved us. Mike took care of us with honesty and integrity. One's worst nightmare is to have a mechanic take advantage of you. Not Mike, he diagnosed the problem, fixed it and got us back on the road. He was professional in every sense of the word. Trust is such a scarce commodity these days. You have it my friend. Thanks again read more

There's not much worse than needing auto service hundreds (400 miles in my case) from home where you don't know a soul. My check engine light came on in my 2015 Toyota on a Monday. I could not get a service appointment with Toyota until Wednesday and I was leaving Oceanside on Thursday so really needed something Tuesday. I called North County Tuesday at 8 am and Rex said if I get it there by 9:00, they would check it. By 1:00, they identified the sensor that needed replaced and the car was ready by 4:00. I had a follow-up text from Mike to make sure all was ok. BTW, I initially found them on aaa.com as a AAA-approved site then looked on yelp for the dealers that had at least 1 4 rating. I highly recommend this repair facility. read more

Best repair service ever! They even texted after service to ensure that our car issue was resolved completely. Addressed the problem quickly, effectively and at a fair price. We have since moved to Oregon. I hope, should we have car issues down the road, that we are able to find an auto repair shop that equals North County Auto Service. But we aren't holding our breath! read more

I've known Mike for a while and he was able to repair my stuck window before it started to rain again. It was a blessing in disguise. Mike was so welcoming and supportive and was able to help me as quickly as possible. I will definitely be heading there again when I have a problem. Thank you! read more

I am giving 7 stars! Once again, Rex fixed my problem, got me a new part (under warranty) and replaced it, along with putting a new drive belt in, (for less money then the smog place that found the worn out belt). What a great person Rex is, he even cleaned my car and had it ready in 3 hours! Rex checked up on me a couple days later, making sure that everything was working at its optimum best! This place is a God send! Thank you REX!!!! read more

We have been taking our cars to North County Auto since 1989, Our grandchildren now take their cars, The team here is the BEST. They are honest, reasonable, professional. We can't be any happier with the quality of work. If we ever had an issue, they took care of us! read more

Absolutely love these guys. It's hard to find a honest mechanics shop in my opinion. Here I never feel like I'm getting run around. They are straight forward, honest, friendly, and affordable. *I just moved to North Park and will still be driving up for maintenance. read more

My son's waterpump blew up, and I called North County, and Rex and Mike got him right in and took care of the problem. We got the car in late in the afternoon, and picked it up before 9 a.m. the next day, which impressed me. Mike, and Rex are a joy to work with, and are very fair and honest. Took me awhile before I found them, but they are the only mechanics we trust with our family's cars. read more

These guys are real professionals...great communicators, honest, direct, and their services exceeded my expectations !!

Great service ! Personable staff ! Rex and Mike were both very friendly, honest , and easy to talk with. I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and have had multiple, terrible experiences with the dealer in Carlsbad. So happy to have found NC Auto Service. Prices are very fair, and my car was done in a very reasonable amount of time. Experienced mechanics (I asked). I would recommend NC Auto Service to anyone. read more

I'm definitely recommending this place! My Jeep broke down early on a Monday morning--among the most inconvenient times--so I called them as soon as they opened. I had my vehicle towed there and they found a way to squeeze me in the same day! Mike and Rex were friendly, fair, professional, and informative. The price was right as well, they called and kept me informed in the most timely manner, and I didn't feel like I was being snowed the way you do at some places. I'll definitely be going there again in the future! Bonus tip: they helped us out a little for being a military family as well. read more
