WOW was clear up front on the cost and kept great communication throughout the work. They inspected the brakes and told me they were good to go. They didn't try to upsell me new brakes that I didn't actually need. I highly recommend them, especially for those in Ramona. Let's keep our business local as much as we can! Now it's camping time!

I recently acquired a 2005 Lincoln Town Car from my family. I had my brother take it to a good,…read morehonest mechanic he knew. It went to WOW Automotive 2560 Main St, Ramona, CA 92065 The car needed to be looked over as it had been sitting for over a year. When I arrived from Northern CA my brother showed me the list and inspection report including a smog. It was very detailed including new tires, oil, sensor, battery, full inspection, and other items. I looked over everything they did on the car and it had been done! I had one minor issue so I stopped by the shop where I was greeted by 2 employees and the owner. The shop was very clean and laid out nicely. They obviously took great pride in this shop. They were very friendly and immediately took my car in and put it on the rack. The owner showed me my concern (was listed in the inspection) and I felt the interaction was very positive and nothing that needed to be addressed immediately. The car runs excellent and I felt that WOW is a very honest, trustworthy, and transparent shop. To find a shop like this is very hard, based on my past experiences with dealerships (I can tell you stories where I get charged $65 to replace a cabin filter-which was never done). The price that was paid for the services was reasonable and fair. I was very impressed with the owner and staff. I would not hesitate to HIGHLY RECOMMEND WOW!

The guys here have two important qualities that I look for in a mechanic. 1. They're competent. 2. They're honest. They've never tried to upsale me unneeded services, in fact they have told me that I don't require services I have requested, and every time they catch something going wrong, they'll show me the problem. They've diagnosed several mystery issues I've had with my vehicles and got them running right. They have fair pricing on their parts and labor with a solid garuntee on their work. And I feel better paying local workers in my community than stuffing more miney into an international corporation for frankly poorer service.

I can't recommend Zoo Automotive enough! Today was my second time visiting them for a brake job…read moresince my SUV was shaking when braking. They called me letting me know my brake pads were fine and recommended not replacing them now and contacting my dealership to fix the rotors since my vehicle is under warranty still with my lease. Saved me hundreds of dollars and didn't even charge me for the inspection! First visit with them 2 years ago was to replace my car battery where they also saved me money! Thank you so much Zoo, you all are amazing and I will continue to recommend you to everyone! :)

I needed a rear main seal, and much more, along with a host of other issues. I finally brought it in, and they handled everything with incredible skill. Their mechanics are truly superior. While they might cost just a little more than some other shops, you absolutely get what you pay for here: peace of mind and quality work. The communication is great Loren called me almost every day to check in and give me status updates. She would walk me through other items that needed attention and provide a quote immediately, leaving the choice entirely up to me with zero pressure. My Tahoe came back to me absolutely perfect--everything fixed, including the minor issues I hadn't even listed. On top of that, they just finished work on my 2003 Camaro. They cleared the check engine light and finally fixed a complex front-end steering issue caused by a previous accident that other shops couldn't resolve. RAE Automotive are professionals who are polite and clearly know what they are doing. I have both my cars back, and they are both running perfectly. They are my mechanics for life and I will never switch!

The front office staff are the best!

Please read!! I'm…read morenot exaggerating when I say this: Thoroughbred Motors made me believe in the kindness of strangers again. Here's the story. I was in Julian for my best friend's wedding. I was the maid of honor, totally stressed, and had my reactive dog with me, staying at a nearby pet-friendly hotel. My Jeep broke down about 10 minutes outside of town. Turns out the water pump basically exploded (don't quote me on the mechanics, I just know it was bad and my car was overheating). We let it cool, filled it with water, and somehow coasted it into Ramona. The first shop we stopped at was lovely, just slammed with cars. They kindly referred us to Thoroughbred Motors, hoping they might have space. This was busy season, and I've worked at several Harley dealerships as the Customer Experience Manager for many years, so I understand how hectic it can get--especially when someone needs something done fast or is in a stressful situation. Getting parts can be a nightmare, and turnaround times aren't always in anyone's control. I was basically falling apart. I was panicked, my dog was overheating, everything was going wrong. Then we got to Thoroughbred. And from the moment we arrived, they were kind, calming, and genuinely helpful. I had to head back to Southern California with my family, but my fiancé stayed behind with our dog. Leaving her was hard for me. She's a rescue who isn't always comfortable in new environments. (And I know it's cliche, but she's my baby). Not only did they diagnose the issue that same day, they ordered the part and had it delivered by the next morning. They even picked up my fiancé and our reactive dog from the hotel early so he wouldn't have to pay an extra fee. Before they did, they moved their own office dogs into the break room to make sure our girl wouldn't get triggered. When they got there, they had a bowl of water ready for her, a toy, treats, poop bags, and a little gift bag. The ladies in the office even played with her. My fiancé sent me photos and I cried from relief. They also gave my nieces toys and let them use the restroom while we were figuring everything out. Every single person at this place was kind, generous, and thoughtful in a way I will never forget. If you take anything away from this review, let it be this: trust. The resounding feeling I had with this shop was complete trust and genuine care. In a moment when I felt helpless, they made us feel safe. That kind of integrity is rare. The work on the car was excellent. The way they treated us felt like family. They turned what could have been one of the worst days into one of the best experiences I've ever had with any business. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Love, Jamie, JB, and Clover
