    Joy J.

    Pretty much the same review from their o.g. shop Best Tire & Wheel. Everything is the damn same except this location is directly behind Best Tire. It's easier to see from Old Town Front Street, whereas BT&W can be seen easily from the 15 freeway. Been a loyal customer here since November 2019 and for good reason. My most recent visit today 9.7.2022 was a quick drop off of Big Bertha's old beat up heart (battery, lol). It was the original one, from 2013 but lasted me almost 10 years. Erik was there to help me as I lugged the heavy ass thing out of my truck. I didn't have it with me on 9.2.2022 when I purchased her new one from Gabe. He was cool about it and said I could bring it in the following week so here I am. Gave me a great deal on the new battery and I was in and out in minutes. Same great service from the same great guys, just operating under a different name. For all of your car care needs, I highly recommend SC Automotive. They work with pretty much all makes and models and are super fast getting parts in if that's all you need. The lobby/waiting area is smaller than BT&W, but you'll still get the best service and pricing! Parking is never a problem, and you can park a few doors down near Aftershock Brewery to grab a cold one if you have to wait a bit. You're welcome! ;)

    Leaking hydroboost after "repair"
    Jane J.

    Terrible service and results. Took our 2006 Suburban to SC Automotive to fix a leak in the oil pan and replace the hydro boost as it was leaking. Oil pan leaked right away after the "repair" and a friend found no threads on one of the screws causing a leak. Took it back and leaked worse after their next "fix". Took it to someone else and got it repaired for real. Now hydroboost is leaking after their "repair" and whole repair is wasted. Have to eat the cost and go elsewhere. Do not use this vendo.

    If you need any work done on your vehicle, come to SC AUTOMOTIVE! They provide wonderful customer service and get the job done right! We came here to get our performance parts installed and alignment done. Frequent service here for all of our vehicles. Can't beat the price! Ask for Gabe!

    I became a customer / client of 1st Choice Autoworks through Chris Tusow at SubiWorks, next door…read more Chris has been the only mechanic to mod, work on, or do anything with my heavily modified, camping, overlanding, off-roading builds...I'm really particular and developed a really close working relationship and friendship with Chris. Last year, he decided to branch off and focus primarily on mods, custom builds, and speciality work on Subarus whiling changing the name of the business to RFC Industries. In doing this, he sold the service side (oil changes, tire rotations, basic repairs, etc.) of his business to 1st Choice Autoworks. So I've been coming to them for the non-off roading specific stuff that Chris still does for me. Luke and everyone else here is incredibly kind, knowledgable, and professional. This past weekend, I panicked since I'm leaving for an extended work trip (1.5 months) which involves my heavily modded Subaru Forester and I had an axle issue days before I was supposed to leave. I texted Chris over the weekend and he said come to 1st Choice by 8:00am on Monday. I didn't have an appointment, and just showed up. And this isn't my style. I'm usually so highly organized and do my best to be respectful, schedule appointments, and go through the proper channels. But I woke up at 6:00am and was in Murrieta by 8:00am. I explained my situation and they were so accommodating and understanding and kind. It took all day but they helped me out and got my car back in good health and I'm so thankful they were cool with me just showing up. This shop is trustworthy, professional, and now is really familiar with off-roading and modded, lifted Subarus due to SubiWorks' and Chris' involvement. Please give these guys your business if you're in the area. They also work on non-Subarus. Thank you, 1st Choice dudes. I appreciate you!

    This shop has my trust. It was easy to get an appointment and they seem knowledgeable and honest. A…read moreprevious (questionable) shop had given me a pricey quote for some suspension work they said needed to be done. I didn't like that first place so I waited on it (and I worried about it a lot!). My friend referred me to this shop, where they had done his brakes at a good price. I took my car in and one of the owners (Luke) helped me out. I told him the story of the previous quote, but said let's start from scratch, bc those last guys were sketchy. Luke put the car on the rack, then came back in with a look on his face as if to say, "you're not going to believe this." I had no idea what was about to happen. I was dreading how costly it might be - I had delayed the repair by months. We looked under my car to see these supposedly cracked & leaking tie-rod boots and other issues... and everything was IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. Which makes sense bc my car has only about 50k miles. Saved me tons of money (that would have been wasted if I had trusted the other place). Needless to say, I'll be returning to 1st Choice to get my brake pads and other work done when it's *actually* due to be done. Thank you guys. I can see why many folks appreciate you.
