These folks put me at ease on my first visit. My anxiety be pretty high at car places so this is a proud feat. They communicated in detail so I felt informed about my cars condition. Will absolutely be back.
Still here but so far things seem fine. My free AAA summer check up found a few items that needed attention. Kind of expected something to be found. Ive been scammed in the past, ( or i should say they tried to scam me while living in new york). Hoping the nice people Im meeting in California are kind and trustworthy. So far so good. Im planning to come back here.
Escondido Auto Tech is FANTASTIC.Frank, George, and the whole team are truly outstanding - this is the only place I recommend to my family and friends. Trustworthy, reasonably priced, and they always provide clear communication regarding vehicle maintenance and repair.I have been a customer for five years and I now drive 30+min to Escondido Auto Tech because my experiences have been nothing but fantastic!
Fast. Friendly. Reliable. Jorge did a great job communicating and getting us taken care of. We will be back!
These guys always do a great job. I can always count on them for honest, fair, and superb repair work. I never have to worry about being overcharged or doing unnecessary repairs. I highly recommend EAT!
I started coming here within the last year. The service is great and Ive not had any issues with has been repaired.
Stellar service. Went for a Break and light inspection and was out within an hour.
My second time smoging my cars at this place and both visits where good. Clean auto shop and in a good location.
We took our 2001 Dodge Duelly in because the a/c quit working. They said we have a leak in our lines. We had them replaced. It worked one time and quit again. They said we need to replace the heater core, we did. Same story. We took it in again, they said wiring touching compressor, no good. So we had that replaced. Havent checked it out yet, but after $5000$, I sure hope it works when we need it.
Very friendly even though they dont work on carburetors
The service is awesome! They find your vehicles issue and address it without adding a ton of other stuff. Very efficient and reasonable pricing.
Great service teamEscondido Auto Tech has been my choice for automotive service for many years. Confidence in the people who service my car is most important to me. Jim, Frank and Jorge always work toward a good service experience, go out of their way to explain the work my car needs, and make every effort to ensure my visits are as stress free as possible. I have never had occasion to question their performance at any level and have recommended E.A.T. to many friends over the years.
Quick and easy smog check. Oil change and vehicle inspection. Expert staff. Highly recommend
Professional friendly service as always.Frank is the best!
This auto repair shop has the most honest and knowledgeable team in the San Diego North County area. No sales pressure, no scare tactics, no treating you like you dont know anything, no cheating customers for repairs they dont need. Very fair labor rates and they use genuine parts. They know the business and they know cars and trucks. Our family has been going to them for more than 20 years. I first met Jim the owner as a teenager in the 80s when he was managing a tire business. He is an icon in this business and had a great team. You dont run businesses for 40 years within blocks of each other unless you are honest and well respected. Escondido Auto Tech is the best around. AAA rating!
Terrible customer service. They also tried to sell me on a bunch of things I did not need.
We highly recommend Escondido Auto Tech. Setting appointments online is quick and easy.Frank confirms the appt. immediately and they know exactly what theyll be working on before the car arrives.
Their service has always been professional and Is outstanding in all areas over the past 15 years. They have made electrical diagnoses when I was out of town and on the road which helped me get back home. They have also made a job site ignition repair on my truck. They keep my wife’s car in great shape, and she is happy. Now that is service above and beyond in today’s world!
It has been my go to place for car repair and maintenance for years. Friendly and professional. Expensive but dependable quality.
I have been a client of E.A.T. for 25+ years. They have been excellent in everything. Ive brought 3 cars to them and all have worked superbly because of the care, professionalism, and expert knowledge from all working at E.A.T from office staff to mechanics. And, when selling the first 2 I got high resale value because both cars were in excellent working shape. Lastly, all who work there are friendly, knowledgeable and want to serve/help their clients.
Professional and helpful crew
My husbands family has been bringing their cars here for many years, and I have always been incredibly impressed with how thorough, honest, and timely their team is. I have always felt like they are trying to do their best for us, and sincerely want to keep our business. We are thankful that we can count on Escondido Auto Tech to take care of our vehicles!
A trustworthy used-car mechanic is often hard to find. Escondido Auto Tech is the best shop I have found. Jorge Oviedo and his team are honest, competent and take very good care of their customers. Escondido Auto Tech provides excellent service, efficiently and at an affordable price.
I have been taking my cars here for years now and have always been vary satisfied with their work. The issues are always diagnosed right as well as the repairs completed correctly and in a timely manner. I have one car with over 180,000 miles and thanks to them it still drives like new.
Great guys. I stopped by with a vague issue and they scheduled an appointment right away for a diagnostic. Dropped it off and had the diagnostic finished within an hour and a half. Work was all finished in under 5 hours same day.Very friendly and answered all of my stupid questions. Also handled drop off and pick up via Uber. I will be coming back 100%

Escondido Auto Tech has been servicing my truck for about 10 years. They provide the best service I have ever received anywhere and I have owned cars and trucks for over 50 years. The also have reasonable prices for their service and they are honest. This firm operates with old fashioned integrity and care for their customers. You cant go wrong at Escondido Auto Tech.
I trust Escondido Auto Tech completely! Ive tried many places in the past but always felt like I was being taken advantage of. I always go to E.A.T. now because they explain what is going on with my car and fix it quickly. They even give me a ride home or pick me up when its ready. Thank you guys, you are GREAT!!!!!
My family has been bringing our cars here for >15 years. As long as I live in Escondido, I’ll never take my car anywhere else. They truly treat your car like it’s theirs. If a repair isn’t required, they’ll tell you and they always charge fair prices with no hidden costs.
Frank and the guys are the best. They are honest and thats a rarity in this field. IG you make an appointment they will be timely and get you out when they say they will. Triple A and other discounts available. If you need a ride while your car is there they will take care of you
Great people, I have not one bad thing to say at all. Always willing to find the problem no matter what and help out as much as much as they can.
Great staff, very pleasant and helpful. Also very accommodating.
This is supposed to be 5 stars. These guys are awesome. Old school customer service, affordable prices, and great service. Theyre like a big family. This is the only place I will go.
Honest, timely, reliable. A great value. Excellent recommendations regarding safety and performance. Friendly attentive service.
Not only did these guys offer the best price in town for a tire barring replacement, but they bought me an uber to get home and to come back after the repair was completed. I highly recommend this place!
I truly appreciate how everyone I spoke with was very kind and patient whenever I had questions. They were able to explain everything to me in a way I would understand as well. My car now drives smooth!
I was very satisfied with this operation. People were profession, work was done on time and prices very reasonable. I will definitely go back.
Went in for oil change & smog check. Frank noticed that my tires were in bad shape so got new tires. They worked on my car next day. Excellent job, friendly service. Will tell friends about them. 👍
Friendly staff. Gave me the diagnostic info I needed on my vehicle in a timely manner.
I have been going to E.A.T for over 15 years. Best place to take your car for ANY service. Staff are professional, knowledgeable, and get you back on the road. I wouldnt trust my car to anyone else.
A month ago I took my 1999 Saturn in for its smog test, periodic lube, oil and filter service, plus a brake check. George, a service manager, called to alert me to a couple of minor items they found while doing their regular car servicing check - a rear brake light bulb was out and the windshield wipers were deteriorating. He asked me if I wanted them to take any action on these items. I had known about the wipers but not the brake light. There was no pressure from George, and I could have done the repairs if I chose to. This was just an example of the thorough, professional approach they use that has kept me bringing in my 2 cars the past 2 years since I discovered them.
An amazing experience all around. After a very disappointing experience at another local shop I was not sure where to turn or who to trust. From the first conversation with Jim I felt very comfortable and confident. They never tried to upsell me and kept me informed at all times. Jim went above and beyond all my expectations. Fairly priced and very thourough. I would recommend them to anyone!
Knowledgeable and honest. Ill be a returning customer
Really good place to get your car serviced. Theyre professional, easy to talk with & are up front & honest with what your car needs.
Always happy with their services and the staff.
Excellent professional service. I trust the staff completely. I really would not want anyone else taking care of my car.
They Know their Stuff and are Super friendly, helped out my friend twice with knowledge and help. Great people
Trustworthy professionals; excellent workmanship
I would have to say that the staff members are extremely professional. They really take the time to talk with you and discuss options before moving forward which is great in my eyes.
The staff and manager are very professional and polite. I am extremely thrilled with the efficiency that goes on at Escondido Auto Tech. I would recommend them in a heart beat!
The service men were extremely professional and know what they are talking about, I have been to other service places this is definitely top notch!
Heared them nic my door into something and they didnt say anything not happy.!!!!
Great service and trustworthy. Also, very friendly!
On Wednesday the 15th, my husband and I were in Murrieta when our car started acting up. We drove to Escondido (where we live) and took it to E.A.T. My husband went in and asked Frank if they could look at it. Frank said they were busy, but would try and fit it in. We were told they might need to keep it over night and Jim (owner) took us home. I stated that this was my birthday and what a way to spend it. Frank called and let us know the problem and we authorized the work. To our surprise, we got a call at 5:15 that our car was done. My husband got picked up by Jim and paid for the car ($200 less than estimate) and drove the car home. When he got home, he told me there was something in the car for me. I went out and in the passenger seat, strapped in, was a bouquet of flowers for me. That speaks volumes to the care that the staff displays to their customers and I cant speak enough good things about their character and their work.
Ive had two major repairs done to my 2002 Chevy Surburban with E.A.T. in last 4 years. First one was multiple problems, fuel pump dead, right mirror remote control dead, ABS system was dead, the Auto Idle Control dead, and the A/C damper controls dead. It was a lot of work and materials to be replaced. That was 4 years ago and vehicle had 120,000 miles on it at the time. Everything they did was very professional and no more problems 4 years later. The more recent repair was a month ago, the A/C compressor died at 144,000 miles. They told me the lowest and higest amount it would cost to put it back to factory specs. It works better than new and was fortunate that I did not damage the A/C system more once I heard the chattering noise, so my costs came in under the minium bid. Im a very hapy customer. It is near impossible to find real mechanics today. I know they like to be called technicians now-a-days, but I am old school from a long line of ancestrial mechanics. It pays to use the best
Honest guys that will get the job done right!
Honest, fair... Been with them for 20 years.
I had a electrical problem with one of my fuses,, in a few short hours they determind it was caused by a part that was part of a recall, they called the Dealer to see if my truck was covered at it was,, so I took it there and it was fixed for free! They could of charged me for the work however,, they took the steps needed to help resolve the problem at no addional cost to me,,, Thank you so much,, I will always use this shop for all my repairs!
Absolutely fabulous!! You cant get wonderful customer service like that anywhere!!
Great service here.
Called in to install foglight harness cant even do that shop down the street did it in 30 mins for $25.

Everyone that I have worked with at this auto body shop have been nothing but professional and knowledgeable during each encounter. I had to come down to have my car fixed and inspected. They made sure that they had a rental ready for me if need be. Very friendly team they have there.
