The staff was professional, friendly, and very accommodating. I really appreciated that they took care of my issue without making me feel rushed or like an inconvenience, especially considering how busy they were. Excellent customer service and a team that genuinely cares about helping their customers. I highly recommend Performance Auto Care and will definitely return when I need automotive service in the future!

This place was the first thing that showed up when I was searching for a smog check spot. I decided…read moreto stop by since it is close to where I live. Smog check comes out to be $78.20 before the coupon (including the certification). While I was waiting, I found a $40 off coupon on their website so I showed it to the person that was helping me. I was aggressively questioned as why didn't show the coupon right in the beginning. He then told me I would have to reschedule since it has to be a physical copy of the coupon. I had to point out the coupon says "printed or mobile". There must have been some misunderstanding because who shows a coupon before paying??? Despite the unpleasant questioning, the service was fast. If you are also coming here for a $38.20 smog check, make sure to present the coupon like your life depends on it.

I have neglected my Kia Sportage a bit, and GG is helping me get it back on track, one thing at a time. I wanted an oil change but I knew it was far more than that. The complete electric diagnostic showed me areas I suspected needed help but I was fearful of finding out (you know, out of sight out of mind?). Whatever the case, I had my oil flushed and cleaned out and taken care of. I can FEEL and HEAR the difference in my engine. Over the next few months I will tackle other things as I get paid. Bruce was a gem. Friendly and up front. When he says he's gonna call, he does. The quote stays the quote. No pressure to get anything done. I like that. Bruce is even going to make up a maintenance schedule for me. Solid. I'll be back.

AND even though I live way out in the boonies of Escondido, they will take you home after dropping off your car and pick you back up for FREE when your vehicle is done. They always call to make sure you're satisfied with their work after and even send a handwritten thank you card. That is truly top notch customer service!

This is not the same place it was 2 years ago! I never thought I would have to re-consider my review for this place. Initially, I first came here in 2018 for an alignment on my truck. ONLY reason why I came back and continued to be a returning customer, not because my alignment went out of place (Steering wheel almost in a full left turn steer to be able to drive straight!) as soon as I got on the freeway from this shop after having a 4 wheel alignment done! I called since it was close to closing and Raul offered to check it out for free the next day. Found out, a bolt was loose! Fixed and sent me on my way! FYI, printer has not worked for 2 years or more and they will not show you the before & after. I asked and they sent me a picture through text . Yeah.. not legit. On another note. Zeke was the man and straight forward! No bs, no games, just there to do work! Unfortunately, he's not there no more. He was very transparent with his customers! Anyways, cool I can trust these guys since they fixed it for free Fast forward to 2020, I had 3 cars dropped off ever since 2018 and within those two years, I kid you not, I did 8-10 RETURNED visits! I finally gave up after the new employee and Raul wanted to play stupid with me within these past few weeks! Let me share one of my experiences. First and foremost, these guys don't know what they're doing and are just taking in what they can to give themselves work (especially during COVID-19) and when they do take work, oh man, they take their sweeeeeet time. First and foremost, out of all my 8-10 returned visits to this shop for separate occasions since 2018, alignment, sensor install/programming, unfinished maintenance work, the job was never fully complete! You think this is nothing? Well I am just glad I never had engine builds/costly work down here. I can't event imagine! I am all for supporting small/local businesses, but people running a business thinking they know what they are doing, not being transparent that they really don't have the "know-how's," and not understanding that time is much more valuable than money, the business will definitely forsee a huge reduction in customer retention and customer loyalty. I like to recommend my peers and networks, I am simply just trying to save you the hassle, nonetheless, your time. Future customers, are you thinking about going here? If you are second guessing, your gut is telling you no!!! Take my advice and my full transparency. I am all about giving back, but the guys at this shop are playing the "milk the clock, delay the time, and kick out the customers 20 minutes before shop closes and let the customers know, if the issue returns, just come back tomorrow" game. There is no tomorrow when you can't even figure out today. 100% would not recommend.

This place has gone down the tubes. DO NOT GO HERE!…read more I brought in my Chevy Cobalt as the check engine light was on. Still hadn't heard back from them by the end of the day, so I had to call them (this will be a recurring theme). They said, among others things, that my spark plugs needed changing. Only I had JUST had them replaced in November (when it was different people). Took him a while (this will ALSO be a recurring theme), but he checked the records and saw that I was telling the truth. The "manager" was a fast talker, constantly talking about how he's doing this and doing that and always keeps his customers in mind. Meanwhile, they kept my car for TWO WEEKS!!!! He said one of the spark plugs was stuck, and he couldn't find the right tool, and this particular thing didn't work and blah, blah, blah. Excuse after excuse after excuse. He also said that he would call me in an hour. Or during lunch. Or at the end of the day. HE NEVER DID! (oh, wait, praise Jesus he did call me back one time). I was constantly having to bug him and be the one to call him. One time I called and the other mechanic put me "on hold" - aka, put the phone down to the side - so I could hear the "manager" helping a customer. It took him 45 minutes to figure out how to work a credit card machine - and it was because the paper was backwards. When the car was "fixed" he then had the audacity to only charge me $198 instead of $220 because the spark plug work had already been done. Gee, thanks. I had my car for all of two miles, when it starts making a horrible noise. I was instantly done with my car and instantly done with Star Auto. I was a loyal customer and they just lost one for life.
