I found A&B truck recycling through Yelp looking for salvage yards. My first encounter was with…read moreFrank. He is very friendly. They work on old cars which my Corolla wagon is 1995, and they replaced a valve cover gasket for me for $150 last year. Later, the owner Andy (aka AJ) helped me find a used 22R engine for my 1982 Toyota Sunrader RV, and later, a hood. Both those were located in LA. Then after I bought the motor, Andy bought my no good 22R engine that his neighbor took out. My hood got all rusted out from being exposed to the ocean dew for only a year. Andy looked up something for me on ChatGPT, which I at that time last year, never heard of. Now I can thank Andy for introducing me to ChaptGPT, because I chat with Chat every single day. Andy also introduced me to a "really cheap, REALLY cheap!" (those are Andy's exact words) mechanic across the street that put in the used 22R motor I bought for $850 labor. Andy said he uses that mechanic sometimes too, for his own car. I wrote separate 5 star review about that business, too. Here is picture of my 1982 Toyota Sunrader that Andy helped me find parts for. Picture was taken at Lost Dutchman State Park, near Phoenix AZ.

Charlie and the team took the time to properly troubleshoot it and found the actual issue was wiring/harness related. They also helped coordinate the tow, repaired the problem, replaced the needed components, and tested everything afterward with no current or pending codes. Straightforward communication, fair pricing, and better diagnosis than the dealer. I'll definitely use them again.

He has worked on my vehicles for more than 8 years and keeps them running well. Prices and turn around are good. Juan up front is knowledgeable and courteous. They always have plenty of work so I was sort of selfishly hesitant to write this review because I don't want them to get inundated with work :) Talking with Josh about your car is always educational, plus he is super fun and friendly to talk with. He definitely has killer skills and for someone as phenomenally talented as he is, he is disarmingly humble!

BUYER BEWARE…read more Unfortunately I had to come and replace my once GLOWING TESTIMONIAL with a now, regrettably revised version, now that I have all the facts. Fact of the matter is that after having spent $4596.39 at this place that OVERLOOKED MAJOR COMPONENTS during my vehicle service as verified by Encinitas Ford I was obligated to update my review accordingly. The facts are as follows; 1) I am on disability and only get $1200/monthly and these people totally extorted me by not servicing my vehicle correctly 2) I trusted them to take care of my vehicle and they didn't (BUYER BEWARE/Careful who you trust) 3) I had to incur EXTRA COSTS as a low income person to inspect their work that substantiated this place overlooked key components related to the service requested (TRANSMISSION SERVICE) 4) After spending FIVE MONTHS OF MY INCOME my truck is STILL NOT UP TO PAR. I will be paying off this debt for the next year and a half of my life all while my truck is not even repaired correctly.

They also have strong industry relationships that help them source quality parts at fair prices, which can save customers money compared to going directly to a dealership. What stood out most to me was their transparency. They took the time to explain what actually needed to be fixed versus what could wait. The work was done professionally, communication was great throughout the process, and I never felt pressured into unnecessary repairs. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic in Escondido that does quality work at fair prices, I'd absolutely recommend Fair Auto Repair. 2011 Honda Accord 2 Door EX-L V6

After informing Farmers Insurance that I planned on using them for the repairs, Basil immediately reached out to me and asked if I could send him photos of the damage so he could order the parts ahead of time - eliminating unnecessary wait time. The morning I dropped my car off, Basil had one of his employees (Jesus) drop me off at Enterprise, which was really helpful. Throughout the entire repair process, Basil was communicative, caring, and professional. When my vehicle was finished being repaired, Basil arranged to have it delivered to me, saving me a trip down to Escondido to pick it up. I couldn't have picked a better repair shop.
