I went to Jaeckels Automotive after my daughter getting some outlandish diagnosis from a…read moredealership. They said brakes were dangerously in need of replacement and catalytic converter was 'trending down' and would need replacement. Jaeckels inspected the vehicle and reported that the brakes had at 20k before they even needed to be looked at and, as I suspected, the catalytic converter was fine and you can't test them to rate as trending down. I appreciated the honesty and the integrity to give the facts when we would have been accepting of brake jobs and been unaware they were not needed now. The dealership put my daughter in a state of fear because they said the brakes were so bad they were unsafe. She even postponed a trip until we could get them taken care of. Jaeckels has earned my future business and my respect for their business practice. I recommend Jaeckels without hesitation.

Thank you all the way from San Diego, CA - The Rizzoli Team of Santa Maria taking care of business…read more We are a shop located in San Marcos Ca. The North part of San Diego. One of a clients was in need of some help with some repair that our shop initially did. Since Centric Auto Repair had a Nation wide warranty - Rizzoli and there mechanics we able to diagnose and repair the issue all in one day . It was on a Friday. Generally shops are fighting to finish mechanical repairs from the begging of the week, so I though it was going to be tough to find a place to help. out now mutual customer lives in Santa Maria area, I hope she finds her new auto repair shop with Rizzoli Automotive. Thank you for kindly working on her Volkswagen Passat. God bless your team!

Checked the battery. Added some gas, because we were low. Nothing. They suggested we tow it to Pat's. I called, and he said to bring it in. Alex helped us right away and told us he would get somebody on it, so we could be on our way. We had a view from the rather clean office, and it wasn't looking good. Tech kept working, and he was able to find the problem. Had to get a part from Ford. They sent a guy over to pick it up, so they could get it fixed quickly. And they did at a cost that seemed very reasonable. We were off. Not the way we intended, but it could have been way worse. These guys were quick and efficient. You can tell they take pride in their business and value their customers. Thanks for saving the day, Pat's!

I am planning on getting a new one soon and simply wanted to get an urgent job done (alternator), and they made sure to explain and disclose the other jobs from severe to less serious, and ensure that I can make my own decision without any fluff or salesmanship. They seem like genuine people which I appreciate. The price is fairly decent and they even took off half of the $180 inspection cost given that I needed to get a job done. Originally, I was told it would take until 4:30 (I arrived around 9) to have my two jobs done and they finished by 1:30. They were pretty busy too. Anyways, super cool people and business, and I recommend giving them a visit.

A Shop With A Heart & Quality Work If you're on vacation,…read moretraveling through the Santa Maria area, a local resident with an unexpected car drivability problem, or just plain looking for an honest, down-to-earth shop that provides quality work, don't fret! There is such a shop that you can trust without hesitation! For the past three years, the repairs and services on my 2012 Ford Escape and 2012 VW Turbo S Coupe have been handled solely at Rick's Car Care, without a worry or hesitation on my part about their qualifications to do the work right the first time. Needless but necessary to state, the estimate and cost of the work to be done are reasonable, not inflated. What makes Rick's Car Care stand out above other family-owned independent automotive repair and service shops? To begin with, it is founded on old-school customer service, honesty, and quality work. Something that is becoming extinct when deep-pocket corporations purchase shops from retiring owners. However, a bright light shines on the answer to this dark auto repair and service scenario: Rick's Car Care! A family-owned independent shop owned by Erick Enright and his wife, Amanda, that remains steadfast in providing great customer service and the highest-quality repairs and services to its clientele. If you are seeking honest, friendly shops that provide quality work, I highly recommend this shop not just as a John Q. Public customer, but also as a former sole proprietor and automotive technician at a local shop.
