The Oceanside Car Clinic was the (second) auto. repair shop I called after Niko's Shop at S & R…read moreService Center on Thursday, July 20, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. I wanted to compare different quotes from these two different shops to see the kind of prices that I would be charged on this Brake Light Replacement Service. When I called this Oceanside Car Clinic and I talked to Eric who works for their shop, he told me that he is not at their shop right now. I explained to Eric that I want to get a Free Quote on this Brake Replacement Service that needs to be done on my 1995 Honda Civic DX Coupe Car. I want to know, how much would Eric charge me for this Brake Light Part and how much would he charge for his labor including the sales tax? Eric told me to send him 3 photos of my car and to text message him from the Oceanside Car Clinic's business phone number. Then Eric said he will give me the (price of the Brake Light Part) and he will also give me a FREE Quote on the (Brake Light Replacement Service). I said okay great. Eric's voice sounded really friendly during my cell phone conversation with him on Thursday, June 20, 2023 at 4:30 p. m. I have the proof in posting my photos and my text messages to Eric on my Apple IPhone XR. But it is also very important to write a review to explain the issue, I had with this automotive repair shop. As a Yelp Elite 2023 Reviewer, it is required from me to always tell the Truth with every experience I have with a business. I did send Eric these 3 screenshots on my 1995 Honda Civic DX Coupe Car. I also told Eric that my local automotive repair shop that I am a regular customer at currently is at this Golden Wrench Auto. Shop and I had recently had my car taken in for an oil and filter change with a 22 point inspection from my local auto. repair shop on June 6, 2023 and my car was fine. I had texted Eric all of this information about my car. Then Eric said he will text me back with a price on this Brake Light Replacement Service if I decide I want to have to get this service done at their Oceanside Car Clinic. I waited for Eric's response back to me on Thursday, July 20, 2023. Eric did NOT respond back to my text message to him from my Apple IPhone XR. Eric still had 30 minutes to respond back to my message to him. Eric never got back to me and like he said he would. I see this as (poor customer service) and the Oceanside Car Clinic needs to improve on their customer service skills. I want to let Eric know who works for this shop, you never know who is going to be calling your shop. It can be a Yelp Elite 2023 Reviewer like me or a potential customer. Please next time respond back to that person calling into your shop for a quote on a specific service. My assumption maybe is that since I told Eric I am a loyal customer at my local shop at the Golden Wrench Automotive Shop. It could possibly be that Eric doesn't want to take away another shop's business. I don't really know for sure, because I am not a mind reader. I think Eric should have been more (honest) to me and he should have told me that he will not respond back to me with a Free Quote on this Brake Light Replacement Service. I also learned that when I call around to some other automotive repair shops to compare prices on a specific service that I want a Free Quote on, these other automotive repair shops, they just care about making a profit and they don't care about me. This is my reason to give this Oceanside Car Clinic a (2 star rating). It could have been better. I rarely give a business a poor review. The only time I do give a business a poor rating is to alert that business to improve their customer service. It would be great if their manager or their owner would respond back to my review.

I went to this place because of their good reviews but I must write this to WARN others. This place…read moreOVERCHARGES you. Brought my Toyota RAV4 2013 asking for fluid flush (transmission fluid and brake fluid) and a brake inspection and tire rotation. My invoice came out to be $800. They charged $165 for brake inspection. I have no words. Tire rotation was $41. I am paying $200 for service that could have been free at other places. I am not saying they shouldn't charge for it, but their prices definitely left me in shock. I am upset. If you want an affordable and reasonably priced place, steer away from this place. See my picture for detailed invoice.

I had an amazing experience with Golden Wrench. This is truly an honest and trustworthy…read moredealership/mechanic shop. We have been working with Mike and his crew for years and trust them 100%. They consistently go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied and that your car is properly fixed and safe to drive. I recently had a situation where Hyundai told me I needed to immediately replace my radiator. I felt something was off because I had never had any issues, leaks, or warning signs with it before. Sonny was absolutely amazing--he inspected everything at no cost and reassured me that nothing was wrong and that my car was safe to drive. That kind of honesty and integrity is hard to find these days. If anyone is looking for a reliable, honest mechanic in Oceanside, Mike and Golden Wrench are the way to go.

When I arrived at the Golden Wrench Automotive Shop at 10:25 a.m. I parked my 1995 Honda Civic DX Coupe Car in the parking lot and walked inside the office. Mike A. the owner was working at the front office. Mike typed up my invoice for the Oil and Filter Change included with the 22 Point Inspection. Then Mike A. Printed off their invoice I needed to sign my signature and then gave him back his copy and I kept my copy. Jason who is their certified mechanic and has worked for this Golden Wrench Automobile Shop for 30 years. I always trust Jason to service my car using his many years of experience and Jason is monitoring any upcoming repairs that may come along with my car. I hang out for a while talking to Mike the owner and I told him that I will be his lifetime customer with the Golden Wrench Automotive Shop because I have always received honest advice, excellent discounts on some of my car repairs and excellent customer service from Mike A. , Jason his certified master mechanic and the rest of his crew. We have a good business relationship at his automotive repair shop. Jason completed the Oil and Filter Change with the 22 Point Inspection really fast and it has only taken Jason (30 minutes) to complete this process. I was also charged a reasonable price for this oil and filter change with the 22 point Inspection. Mike A. (Owner) said my car is running in optimal condition.

So I bet you if you go there now there will be a Beatle with dented side skirts from the fork lifts. This Beatle was also repainted underneath and missing a skid "plate" and a reserve tire. It took over ten visits to get a reserve, which ultimately didn't even fit the vehicle. Also the blinkers never worked. Ovie the owner is not truthful and his work is shoddy. I threatened to sue cause the transmission gave out not even 5k miles later. He said go ahead so I did. When he was served, he didn't show but lucky for him the date was postponed due to COVID. Then he saw I was serious so he apologized and offered to put in a rebuilt transmission. That job was done and it took a month. I needed the car in the meantime, but he also tracked on 2 parking tickets which he did pay for. However the work was terrible completed in that the transmission leaked like crazy to where I could no longer park in anyone's driveway. The Sunroof also didn't work at that point and this is now a year and a half of the car ownership and less than 5k miles on it. He also zip[ tied a bunch of cables, broke the oil check pipe where the dip stick goes, and greased up the engine bay which was very clean before that. They also installed a used battery in that time but didn't bother to screw it down properly and it died within a month so I had to change it. Ovie is not to be trusted and you should avoid this place - cars are junk and their work is even worse.
