I've been here more than once and I'll be back again without question. I genuinely feel like I'm treated as family and they do fantastic work. I've always been worried with auto shops that I'm going to get swindled or sold somehow, and that's far from how they treat their customers. Cannot say enough good things about this group of gentlemen- happy to recommend them to anyone I can read more

When I picked up my car today, I asked George how many years he's been an auto mechanic. Let's just say--it's been decades. For me, experience is essential when it comes to who works on my cars. But just as important, maybe even more so, is trust. I want a mechanic who knows exactly what my car needs, without pushing unnecessary extras. That's exactly why I go to George. He has earned my complete trust, and he's the first person I turn to whenever my vehicles need service. read more

This place is the best !!!! They saved me potentially thousands of dollars when my car wouldn't start. It came down to a key. My husband had a generic ACE hardware key made. Little did we know it is a key that isn't programmed with my car. And it used a battery not a chip. The key worked most of the time until it didn't. Another shop may have overlooked the key issue and looked at other mechanical failures. Like fuel pump etc. a rabbit hole we did not go down thank you to Robbins !!!!! read more

We took my son's truck in for repair and they did a great job and for a great price! The customer service is excellent and they are very knowledgeable! read more

Well. They did a good job with my transmission. However, I asked them to perform a safety check for my vehicle for a long roadtrip, alas, my brakes became stuck and warped my rotors. Also, I lost all hydraulic pressure on the road for my brakes. Costed me around 800 in repairs. Was told "yup, car is safe bud" pretty much. Guess not. They are good for other things, but not for safety inspections. read more

Honest George is the most reputable mechanic in Fallbrook! So grateful I met him after having bad experiences with two other auto shops in Fallbrook. He's the real deal! He really cares, big, heart, talented, and a real winner! There are many mechanics that just replaced parts, and labor but Honest George is different, he attempts to fix whatever's broken before overcharging with parts you don't need.. I had another experience with a supposedly reputable shop in Fallbrook who attempted to sell me a big brake job when I only had brakes (front pads & rotors) done eight months earlier. This shop told me that I was metal to metal and then I needed them done right away! I took it to honest George Robbins and he confirmed my brakes were in perfect shape. Honest George of Robbins Auto Works is ONLY place to go in Fallbrook! So grateful I found Honest George Robbins!!! read more

You guys are awesome. Thank you for the help keeping our cars on the road! Been here several times and they do good work, great customer service and for an honest price read more

Our Santa Fe was towed to the Hyundai dealership in Temecula where they told us that it needed all fuel injectors plus the fuel pump replaced. Hyundai quoted us $4k for the repairs so we started calling around locally to get quotes as well. I connected with Chris and he immediately questioned the amount of extensive (and as we found out unnecessary) work that we were told was needed. Over the phone, he took the time to explain what he thought might be the issue and how he'd troubleshoot it for us. We had to wait a couple of weeks to get the work done with him since he was booked up, but it was totally worth the wait. He is in demand for good reason! I also had my sister call him since she was having electrical issues with her car and he referred her to another shop that better specialized in that area. We were overall just really impressed with how he does business and would definitely recommend his shop to anyone. read more

I was on my way home when I had to stop all of the sudden. Long story short, the dust cover under my engine had come off at some point during the day. So, luckily I was able to hook up a couple of bungee cords to lift it up just enough to keep it from dragging during the last 10 minutes of my drive home and since it was already late in the afternoon, I decided I was going to take it somewhere to get fixed in the morning. I used to take my other Honda to another shop in town but figured because they were always busy, I would go to a different shop-this one. I read all of the Yelp reviews and have to say I didn't agree at, first, with some of the 5-star reviews. Maybe it was the 80 degree heat at 830 in the morning or maybe because I was still irritated by the events of the day before...I just didn't feel the good vibes... Anyway, everything I was told was reasonable, just not really what I wanted to hear. I was told that the car probably wouldn't be ready until the next morning. However, I agreed to leave the car. Approximately, 3 hours later.....I got a phone call. My car was ready!! After a bummer morning, that phone call was everything! Although, the cover may not last the next time it comes off they were able to reinforce it and were also up front about how damaged it really was... They didn't even charge that much-I was super happy with the results and all the good vibes were there this time. read more

I've taken my car here for major work and regular service. They talked me through several options and worked with me to find the best approach for my me, my wallet, and when I needed the fix done by. The regular servicing is best when scheduled in advance and dropping off early in the morning. I recommend this garage to everyone in town. read more

AMAZING! George is the owner super nice guy!! I worked with one of his employees Chris! What a Great experience! Very dedicated,patient,honest and fair! If you need any car repairs they are the place to go! 10 Stars in my Book!! read more

After scheduling an appointment, I took my 2001 F-250 Pickup into Robbins due to a bad #7 cylinder that was still not fixed after 2 other mechanics had attempted the repair. George had it repaired the same day for a reasonable cost. They also repaired the AC for 1/2 the cost of a prior mechanic's estimate. I found Robbins to be a high-quality shop with detailed honest troubleshooting and fair prices all accomplished in a timely manner. Will use again and have already recommended them to a neighbor. read more

Took my 1987 4runner in for brake lines and a valve adjustment to Robbins Auto works on a Friday. The valve cover has to be removed. On top of the valve cover are a series of vacuum hoses. These vacuum lines needed to be removed to do the work. Chris did quick work on my truck, too quickly though. Chris forgot to hook the vacuum lines up correctly. Four of the lines not were not correctly placed in their proper locations leaving my truck to run rough and dying constantly on me. Chris and the owner, George offered NO solution for me, only saying, "I can not work on it now, I have other cars to work on". This was Monday morning after spending the weekend not being able to use my only vehicle, this 4runner. After refusing to help me with a problem they created, I immediately took my truck to Fallbrook Auto Works. They charged me $159.00 to fix the problem created by Robbins auto works. L@@K.....Buyer beware, Chris will fix one problem, but create another problem...to make money or through sheer lack of expertise as a mechanic. George is a useless middleman running a dishonest shop.....L@@K read more

Chris is a great guy who tolerates all my crazy requests. He does great work and is very fair about his billing! George is a little rough around the edges, but seems like a really solid guy too. If you need a top notch mechanic in Fallbrook, this is it ! read more

Really wish I could give these guys more than 5 stars because I've been going to them for years and I have had nothing but GREAT and HONEST work. Not to mention they are a hilarious bunch! I would not take my cars ANY WHERE ELSE. If you are looking for an auto shop outside of the dealer where the auto techs are knowledgeable and have a ton of experience, and will not over charge you for parts and work the dealers try to reem you for, this is the place, whether you live in Fallbrook or not. These kind of honest places with good people are very hard to find and I consider myself very lucky to have found them. You will not be disappointed! read more

I've been a 'car guy' since birth I think. As a designer of tooling and small machinery, I'm pretty savvy on whats wrong and what aint, I can smell a film-flam from quite a distance and I'm kinda particular. I used to do most all of my own wrenching -until I couldn't anymore. Luckily I found Robbins Auto! George and Chris are the bonafide real deal. Waaay experienced, straight forward, no baloney guys who get it done right and aren't trying to retire from the proceeds of every job! That they are friendly and fun is just icing on the cake. Yes, you can afford the best and right here in town too! Do not hesitate to bring them your favorite car. read more

I'm sure there are other respectable reliable trustworthy awesome mechanics out here, But this is definitely a noteworthy establishment. Always going above and beyond for all of their customers. George and Chris are stellar dudes. I suggest you do all of your automotive business here. read more

I wish I could add more stars. Met Chris and George here at Robbins a few weeks after moving to town. Not only friendly, but I have never had an automotive repair transaction where I felt such integrity. Even quick to refer me to other vendors when I was asking for something they felt others would be a better fit. I have used numerous times for my classics and daily drivers. Excellent! read more

Robbins is awesome! I brought my car in for the first time about 6 months ago. I had some crazy clicking noise in my steering column that no other mechanic could seem to figure out. When I called to get a quote, Chris new exactly what I needed ( steering column coupler replacement) and gave me a great quote that was about $200 cheaper than everyone else in town. I was very pleased with everything so I took my car back again today for an oil change and some other maintenance. Once again, they were great! They explained everything clearly, got my car done quickly and I didn't feel robbed when it was all said and done. Highly, highly recommend Robbins Auto! read more

This is the only place I will bring my family's vehicles. My cars are new (less than 2 years old) and I still bring here as opposed to the dealerships. read more

This place is great! As a woman going to see a mechanic, I am always apprehensive as they tend to want to overcharge me or want to sell me on unnecessary services. I went here based on a reccomendation from another local mechanic that didn't do the type of work I needed. Getting a reccomendation from another auto shop is almost always a good sign. Going to Robbins was wonderful experience. They made me feel at peace with their knowledge and work! Not only did I go in and get great customer service and craftsmanship but also a VERY great price. This is my new local mechanic. I got a quote elsewhere for the same work and it was A LOT more. It is so nice to find a good, honest mechanic. I could not be happier read more

My husband and I have always trusted George Robbins with our vehicles and highly recommend him! He is fair priced and a skilled mechanic

Once again owner George Robbins and A-technician Chris exceeded my expectations with their integrity, professional demeanor and friendly attitude. These guys won't fix it if it ain't broke. My 2004 sedan was getting long in the tooth and these guys helped me address what was necessary without dumping a ton of money into a car I knew I would be selling soon. Today my friend (who had recently been told she needed new ear brakes) took her Toyota sedan to Chris and George. After an inspection and on-road driving test, Chris informed us that the rear brakes still had 5,000 to 10,000 miles left on them. He said he could certainly do the brake job, but suggested she wait until she actually needed them. Reasonable prices, good turn-around times, clear explanations to what is going on inside your vehicle (to the non-technical customer) and bullet-proof honesty and integrity. We won't hesitate to take our other vehicles there for service and we'll keep recommending Robbins to our friend and neighbors. Thank you George and Chris for taking the time to be a "best in class" business in our little Village. read more

I went to Robbins at the recommendation of a couple Fallbrook residents after being quoted around $2k for maintenance at Meineke. Unlike my angering experience of being talked down to and manipulated with scare tactics and lack of ethical details--at Robbins, I was treated like an intelligent and valuable customer. Each procedure was explained in depth. The service person was straightforward about all labor and parts costs. In fact, I've never had someone take so much time to let me in on all the nuances that would be involved. My interaction at Robbins was polite, respectful, informed, fair, and genuine. And, importantly, I was not treated differently for being a female customer. At Meineke there are probably some great staff on board; however, the particular employee I dealt with treated me as an ignorant, unimportant, sales pursuit. Ladies, don't put up with it, even if you don't know a lot about vehicle maintenance. Treat yourself to a better experience. You will not be taken advantage of at Robbins. read more

I was visiting Fallbrook and when my car wouldn't start I had it towed to Robbins auto on recommendation. The mechanic I worked with, George, was honest and upfront about pricing for my fuel filter replacement and broke down their hourly costs and the part cost. If I lived in Fallbrook they would be my regular mechanics. Thanks! read more

When I made the trek down to the Temecula area from SF recently and my car sprang a leak, a local friend insisted that I go to Robbins Auto Works for my repairs. It was a little further than some other options considering where I was staying, but given my friend's endorsement and how hard I know it can be to find a capable, honest and expeditious mechanic, I decided the extra distance could be worth it. I wasn't disappointed! George quickly identified the issue, quoted a reasonable price and time frame to complete the repairs and did it all with a friendly demeanor. While we chatted I even learned that some of George's vast knowledge and experience comes from his time as a racing engineer on a team that won the Baja 1000! No wonder he knows what's up. Thanks George, Robbins Auto Works and my friend who recommended them. read more

Honest , friendly, easy to deal with. What more can you ask for in a mechanic. I had been taking my car to another local place but after 8-10 visits the issue was not resolved. Finally my car does not make the horrible noise I thought I was going to have to live with. Thanks George! read more

I was expecting the repairs on our car to be about $1,200 (as quoted by two other shops) but was happy to have the repairs done for half that amount in one day. read more

Chris and George are exceptional mechanics. They are very honest and provide fair cost estimates. I have brought several cars to them for repairs that i would not trust anyone else to do. I am consistently pleased and satisfied with the product of their work. read more

Chris is great mechanic and will be honest with you and will get the job done in timely manner. Needed a radiator hose replacement and the dealership tried charging me $600 dollars. Chris got it done for $80. Would highly recommend this shop to anyone read more

Great communication, very friendly even though they were busy. Helped me diagnose my AC system, didn't try to talk me into a repair I wasn't ready for. Cheers! read more

George is awesome! I've been taking my car here since I moved back to the area, and now my parents do the same. Super fast and friendly service, and you're always greeted with a smile. I HIGHLY recommend Robbins Auto Works to anyone in Fallbrook looking for reliable, honest, kind service! read more

We are new in Fallbrook and wanted to find a 'go to' mechanic. We went on yelp, saw good reviews so thought we would try out Robbins auto works. The power steering hose needed a new O ring. They only charged me $10.00 because they said it was to simple! We found our mechanics in Fallbrook, love them, they are super nice too! read more

This is what you envision a small town auto shop would be like. I had just a light bulb that was out but such a pain to replace ... I went to another place in town and they wanted to charge me $77 plus $$ for the light bulb. I drove down to these guys and he said if I bring the light bulb he would do it for free. Off I went to get the light bulb went back and those guys took 5 minutes out of their lunch to fix it. Didn't charge me a dime and did the job without a hint of attitude. So impressed and will be back if I have other repairs on my car ... yes, I tipped them well ;) read more

An automotive shop with a wide array of knowledge, experience, amazing technical skills, and courtesy? You bet! With George's racing and suspension knowledge and decades of fleet service experience, combined with Chris's European technical excellence and just plain mechanical smarts, I couldn't be happier. Even though they both drive Mustang Road Rockets with slot car suspensions, Chris has expertly maintained our two 2000 BMW 528i, and 323i for years. Should you ever require a mechanic, this is the team you want to work on your cars. read more

A reliable and fair place I can get my car serviced. I have been to a lot of auto mechanics over the years and I don't feel there are a lot of trustworthy places. George is definitely trustworthy and never over charges. read more

Excellent customer service, knowledgeable and honest guys running this place. These mechanics won't jack you around, pay them a visit and the chances are you will walk away feeling good and with a smile. read more

Not gonna lie I usually don't mend well with mechanics but this shop knows how to run the show and build a relationship based on TRUST! My car was struggling and not operating as optimally as before and I couldn't diagnose the problem. Fortunately for me George and crew were local and helped diagnose my air filter was faulty. A quick turn around and I was back on the road in no time. I will definitely be heading back the next time something else pops up. read more

This place does great work! I brought my 1966 Cadillac in to get looked at because it was running kind of rough and they were able to diagnose the issue right away and it didn't cost me a fortune to get it fixed. They are very professional and reasonably priced. Thanks again! Vance read more

This is my third time that I went to this mechanic shop, I am really impressed with the amount of care that Mr.Robbins has put into my car! Thank you! read more
