My car randomly started smoking under the hood so I ran to Redhawk in hopes of finding help. Brendan was so kind to take a look and help me out. The fellas there were kind and I am SO grateful for their help! Brendan was not only kind, but very knowledgeable and gave me information to remember for the future. Thank you!! read more

Brought my 2022 Tacoma Sport to Red Hawk Auto because the engine was shaking and I wanted it diagnosed. I let them know up front that I'm running aftermarket coils and spark plugs. They asked me to bring in my old coils and plugs so they could swap them back in. I didn't have them anymore, so I told them no worries--I'd just take the truck back. Even though no actual troubleshooting was done, I was still charged a diagnostic fee. What was frustrating is that nothing was really diagnosed. Later on, my buddy in the Marine Corps plugged in an OBD reader, saw it was cylinder 2, and did a simple coil swap to see if the misfire followed. That at least narrowed it down to whether it was the coil, plug, or the cylinder itself--something I expected from a paid diagnostic. As paid professionals of the trade, this isn't what anyone wants to see. I've come to this shop every couple of years with different vehicles, and they've never really gotten it right for me. Based on my experiences, I'd avoid this place. read more

The young owner and all of his employees are polite, courteous and very thorough. What stands out is how every time I have pulled up, they have exceeded any expectation I might have had. One time the owner helped me himself, another time a very nice young man topped off my oil, gratis. (I told him I'm on Social Security and have a large container of synthetic at home.) Anywhere else I would have slyly been directed into an empty bay, meaning an invoice would soon be coming. Superior service, kind professionals, every time!

I brought my car in to deal with a random clicking noise. Initially they diagnosed it as an AC compressor failure and replaced the AC. that didn't solve the problem. (not great), but when I brought it back and explained the issue they were willing to try again and at no cost, saying it would be unfair to charge me. This let me know that they had integrity and weren't just in it for the money. To me, integrity and fair dealing is super valuable in a mechanic. They ended up fixing the problem the second time around and I will be coming back again in the future. Hence the 5 star review. Thanks Redhawk auto service. read more

Brought my car in yesterday wasn't sure what was going on with it. Self diagnosed it was my alternator, but weird I couldn't shut my car off either. Left the car with Sean. He called shortly after and agreed it was the alternator. The reason I couldn't shut my car off was my lock ignition had fallen apart so my key wouldn't work. Anyway gave me a list of what maintenance I've been deferring but didn't try to sell me on doing those things. Great service, great timing. And everyone's time is money, but cost was reasonable. Just an overall great experience. I'm sure auto mechanics are like general contractors. They ain't going to please everyone. Celebrate what's right in the world!!!! read more

This place will sabotage your car. Do not go to them. They will not do a full diagnostic and be truthful. You take it to get a second opinion and it will be major issues reported. That they basically wanted you to have to return to get done read more

Took my vehicle in for a simple check engine light and parasitic drain. Turns out it was the seat switch hitting my door. Charged me 2 diagnostic fees of $189 told me they replaced the seat switch and they did not. They just put a screw in the plastic and charged me over $1,000 for it. As far as the check engine light they charged me over $1,000 and the light came back on 2 days later. Avoid this place at all costs. Worst " mechanics" ever. They're just out to steal your money please go elsewhere read more

Redhawk Auto gave me an honest and professional assessment on my wife's car. They explained everything to me and gave me a report.

Friendly, professional, effective and reasonable. Very good experience. Will absolutely bring my British car back here every time (probably frequently). read more

I made an appointment to get a smog check. Their online system to set up appointments was fast and easy. I arrived at my time, they checked me in, explained the process and got started on my car. They were done faster than estimated and were very efficient. Very customer service focused and friendly. Highly recommend. Great guys running this place! read more

We moved to Temecula October 2024 and had both our vehicles serviced here for a year. Every time we went in for an oil change the diagnosis had multiple red alerts and immediate attention, but when the rep would call they would say there is no concerns and try and sell me on other things not listed, like fluid changes because "summer is coming" (not during standard mileage marks), changing spark plugs "because there is no history of you having them done" etc. when I would ask about the red alerts they would brush them off and say next time, then when you go in next time they recommend totally different things be done to your vehicle and those alerts have mysteriously disappeared... We bought and have had both our vehicles serviced through Toyota (under warranty) and decided to giving this local shop a shot when the warranty was up. Going to Redhawk costed us 1000's on repairs/services that weren't truly needed. We started going to Accurate Auto outside of old town and they are the most genuine and honest repair shop we've come access to date. What Redhawk would quote 120 for an oil change then call and suggest 1000's in unneeded repairs, Accurate gets it done for less than 100, showed the diagnostics etc. My car would be at the Redhawk shop for 4+ hours to get an oil change before getting a call about what "needed to be done". It takes Accurate auto about 20 minutes to get the oil change and diagnostics done. Save yourself the stress and money and avoid Redhawk auto at all cost. read more

I brought my 2019 ram 2500 diesel in for a battery issue and starter issue. I had previously purchased a battery there and they honored the warranty and replaced the battery, no charge. They kept the vehicle overnight to diagnosis the problem, fantastic service. read more

************* CONSUMER BEWARE ******************* Approximately four weeks ago, I brought my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Redhawk Auto Service, located next to the 7-11 on Apis Rd in Temecula, for rough idle. I was charged $189 for the diagnostic and told I would be contacted with the results. The next day I received a call from the shop advising that the #2 cylinder showed low compression and that it would cost me an additional $1,500 for the service tech to tell me what was causing the issue, but that it was likely a lifter or value issue which would require a replacement engine. I opted to pay for the diagnostic and seek a second opinion. Good thing I did, because the new mechanic stated there was nothing wrong with the engine's compression and he doubted that Redhawk even checked the compression. After replacing a fuel injector and timing solenoid, total cost $620 (including a second diagnostic) my Jeep has been running like its old self again. I brought this matter to the attention of Redhawk's service manager who stated he would investigate and get back to me. I am still waiting. The lesson here is stay clear of shady auto repair shops like Redhawk, only interested in relieving you of your hard-earned cash. Redhawk is the reason auto repair businesses have the shady reputation they do. Do your homework and locate a reputable shop. You have a better chance of buying a winning Lotto ticket at the 7-11 next door than expecting an honest analysis of your vehicle's repair needs from Redhawk Auto Service. read more

Update: took my car to a different shop and the total toe is in spec but individually the car was completely out of alignment. Unbelievably bad work on their end. See the image below for proof. The before is their work read more

I was in Temecula on vacation and due to a highway mishap I needed an emergency brake job so we could continue on to our next destination.

Hi! I called because my car needed a smog check in order to get my tags. I was helped by Laura, Dylan and Moises, all very helpful, friendly and professional! I was able to go in the following day. The garage and office were well kept. They took my car back shortly after checking in. The service was quick and efficient. My car passed:) Checking me out was easy and fast! Would highly recommend this Redhawk! read more

First off, I went to Redhawk and talked to Rob, as I've had very good service in the past. However, this experience was bad, and I'll never go back - Timing Chain Replacement. 1. Was given a call asking if I had worked on the timing chain, apparently there were "parts missing" (specifically the guides). No, had never worked on it. So as a "professional" they should have known the guides probably fell into the oil pan. But, they had put vehicle back together. Upon start up, very low oil pressure, starving engine. This was the reason for the call - low oil pressure and oh by the way, parts missing. Bad bad bad. 2. Charged another pretty penny to pull the oil pan, which most shops I called stated that's included in the "flat rate" for a timing chain job as you have to move the oil pan to get to the oil pickup tube bolt, necessary to remove oil pump covering timing chain. Again, this looks very very bad. Charge me time for work not done, then charge me again for work that should have been done. Shady. Add insult to injury: 3. Asked shop to replace water pump as it had to come off to replace timing chain. They went to O'Reilly's to get the part. Cost at O'Reilly's, $167, bill from Redhawk was $495. Wow, 300% markup. 4. Timing Chain Kit. Cloyes kit, O'Reilly's price: $97.99. Charged by shop: $326. Another 300% markup. 5. Had I not asked questions about why labor was added to the water pump (additional $500), they would have double charged for that too. I will never use this shop again. Ever. Update: Vehicle makes an intermittent grinding noise upon start up (new since returning to from shop). Suspect a damaged flywheel during the torquing process of the camshaft bolt or crank bolt. read more

Went in this afternoon too see if they could help me with my 1999 chevy corvette with the fob and another thing, the tons man, Heather was so nice and helpful even though he could not cause the person who handles this situation is out but he was kind enough to reference me to someone who could. This is GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I'LL BE BACK FOR WHEN I NEED SERVICE FOR MY VETTE. read more

Very happy with the service. Great communication with a clear inspection raport. Took the time to go over the options and delivered great work! read more

We stopped going here. We got brakes done about 11 months prior to returning for an oil change. We were told we need new brakes. However, had only put on 6000 miles on our truck. Additionally, we were told that our 2016 Toyota Tundra needed a whole new engine with under 50,000 miles on it. Upon insisting that this truck was upkept and taken care of, we were told that a change of spark plugs would do instead of an entire new engine. We had been coming to Redhawk Auto for a couple of years but we absolutely refuse to go to this place now. Be careful, and get a second opinion if you can because I believe they are not honest at all. read more

W Mike!!!! what a GOAT. saved our butts when we broke down on our way to visit our nephew. Not a bad price, pretty reasonable considering the warranty they give on their battery's. read more

I was recommended to come here from Les Schwab for a coolant check and after checking it out the guy discovered I needed more coolant. My car is only 5 years old and is European. Now this is where men at services centers take advantage of women who don't know what certain car services are needed or required. He basically sold me service for a coolant flush when I didn't even need it!!! I did not mix coolants and it still the auto makers coolant. Had I mixed an after market coolant with the original one THEN I would have needed one. Thank goodness I have a Father to navigate things like this. The sales guy was even pushy and said "you sure you don't wanna get it done today?" And I had to say NO multiple times. WOMEN BEWARE! read more

SCAMMERS!!!! My young daughter brought her 2007 Toyota Corolla in for a valve cover gasket leak. They gave her the "fair" price of $450 to do the fix. When I found out the price they were charging I called a mechanic of my own and was quoted $153 for the repair. When calling red hawk I was told they hadn't started the work and that the mechanic had left sick and they would get to her car later in the afternoon and I said great go ahead and cancel the service as they are ripping my daughter off. I told him I was quoted much lower and all of a sudden they were able to lower the price. I said no thanks as I would never trust you to do anything on our vehicles. She left and took the car to my mechanic for a total of $153 and was done 1.5 hours later. At red hawk she was never even given the original quote on paper ahead of them taking her vehicle and keys. ***picture added showing the price of $153. Maybe next time she should be given a written quote to sign ahead of time so we she knew what she was paying for. $300 extra sounds like a steal for cleaning the oil, how kind. read more

201 dollars to replace an upper radiator hose on my Subaru Outback. I was desperate and they knew it. I would not recommend this shop. Edit: My car is now overheating. read more

Quoted me $250 for radiator flush. Drove across the street to Firestone and paid $137. Asked for A/C check. Was quoted $450 for A/C service. $450! Can you imagine?? Firestone said it would $50 to check but they had a coupon (which I didn't have) so that made it $20. Shop their prices. read more

Took my vehicle to be inspected for A.C. service, and they charged me $359.98 just to be diagnosed. (Not towards repairs) Technician- Pual Pesce told Service Advisor- Richard Sambrano that I needed an ENTIRE A.C. Unit repair because my vehicle had leaks everywhere for a total of $3,400! I got a second opinion at Temecula Auto Repair and transmission. They told me that was an incorrect diagnosis that it was a simple A.c. system valve core. They even charged me way less money for the diagnosis used that money towards repairs! Now my a.c runs 1000% perfect. It's unfortunate that this local business puts a bad reputation on local mechanic shops and SCAM people for their hard earned money. Not being able to trust an honest, good mechanic. DO NOT GO HERE and shame on them. read more

A bit pricey for parts and labor. You can find better deals elsewhere. Be smart and shop around before spending your hard earned money.

Great service, it's exactly what you need, when you need it. Quick and very reliable.

I just want to say this place is great! I got an amazing price on an oil change and got a detailed inspection e-mailed to me. Heath also went out of his way to do further research on an issue I had. Thank you so much Heath and everyone at Redhawk Auto service. Everyone was so helpful and kind! Highly recommend them! read more

Installed parts without the cracked night diagnostics Burned up another starter And charge me for it Through their own confidence I paid them paid over $800 They were totally at fault and would not admit it read more

Nope. Not again. Had an issue a couple months ago when I made an appointment for an oil change. Came in for my appointment time and they didn't have me on schedule. They did remember my phone call though and apologized for making an appointment they couldn't fulfill. Made an appointment last week for a smog check and they did inform me that their smog tech was out for a few days. That's fine. Get to the place and "Sorry, you need to go to a STAR station." Why display that you are STAR certified when you aren't? And why not tell me that you are falsely advertising your certification when I call? read more

Hi, I have had my car serviced and other work done here although a while ago I was shopping at Walmart and when I returned to my car I managed to jam my trunk and it wouldn't open.

Service with a smile read more

My car broke down and the tow truck guy (John from Valley Auto Towing) suggested that we take the car here. I just moved to Temecula a few months ago so I don't have a usual mechanic. He said they're the only place he recommends because they are honest and a family owned place. And he was right! Manuel worked with me and he went through every single one of the error codes that my car was giving and what it means and what my car needs. He broke everything down into necessary and optional. He also called with updates (they weren't sure if I was going to need the ignition coils to be replaced until they first replaced the spark plugs). 10/10 customer service! Also, their repairs come with warranty. I think this is the first time I've seen this! read more
