I read good reviews about this shop so I decided to give them a try. They did a diagnosis on the car because it’s leaking coolant. They said they didn’t see any leaks, they recommend me to ad dye so they could detect where the leak was coming from and they couldn’t figure out the location. The leak is still happening so I have a appointment Monday with Kia to fix the problem.I asked them a few questions and had to idea. The young receptionist had no clue on what to say when asked questions all she said let me go ask the technician because I don’t know. They still charge me the $159 dollars and couldn’t even get me a proper diagnosis. I asked the receptionist that why should I have to pay for something I didn’t get resolved. All she said I don’t know let me go ask.

Great service. They are the only mechanics I trust to work on my car. They are extremely thorough. Drive away knowing they did what they said they would. Thanks again.

I took my Subaru Outback here to first get a complete check and then to get the engine replaced. Oscar was my technician and he did an amazing job. He gave me the space to ask as many questions as I needed which is not something I have experienced at other auto shops. Their inspection review sheet also greatly helped in my understanding of what work needed to be done to my car and why. Oscar called me throughout the time that they were working on my car to give me updates and I never felt cheated or in the dark. Also, my car stereo was not working when I took my car in but I never mentioned it, when they returned it, it worked again!! Huge surprise bonus! I will absolutely take my car here again and refer my friends in the area here.

They were very professional and kept me up to date on all the work they did. They gave me worst case scenario and best case when giving me my quote so I had an idea of what I was looking at paying. If you need hybrid work, THIS IS THE PLACE

Oscar is an outstanding leader, as well as an exceptional car/vehicle technician. Elizabeth is doing a good job in her customer facing role. David continues to be an anchor/solid backbone for EAS. Alex appears to be a sound addition to the team.

Elizabeth was very nice and helpful,David was our technician he got us in the next day called with the problem and the solution as well as what it would cost. He had it done the next morning. Thank you David, and Escondido.Auto pro You just gained a new customer.

Good diagnostics. Knowledgeable and friendly. Good communication throughout repair service.

Escondido Auto Pros were great. Honest and trustworthy. I am visiting from out of state and was concerned, but all of the employees were great. The service worked and my car and I are happy again!

They installed a catalytic converter shield and were speedy, and amazing service.

I took my 2010 Prius in because my hybrid battery light came on. They installed a reconditioned battery and everything is working great now. They called me with updates and were very upfront with their pricing. I knew exactly how much everything would cost before they started any work. They emailed a digital report with images and pricing of recommended work to be done. I didn’t feel pressured to get any extra work done that I didn’t want to. All work was done in a timely manner. Overall, great experience.

Performed hybrid battery work on time and as agreed. Would recommend them

Escondido Auto Pros are the best. If you have a hybrid, these guys do fantastic work for a fraction of the cost. If you arent taking your hybrid to them, youre losing money and missing out on their great service. Ive got over 200k miles on my Prius. With EAP Im going to get another 200k out of it.

Auto Pros did a fantastic job on my daughters 2014 Volt. It needed a complete Hybrid service and spark plugs. They ran a complete diagnostic evaluation of the vehicle and informed us of all needed maintenance. The car was in and out in one day and the cost was reasonable. I would recommend this shop to anyone.

James called me after hours to help me diagnose my Prius issue and provided me with details about all the services they provide. Very professional and personal. Fixed my issue in a day! Highly recommend for trustworthy mechanics.

It’s really hard to find a good quality mechanic that you can trust with your car. My Rav-4 needed serious help :( This is the 3rd time with them and I’ve had positive experiences every time! Oscar and David are great with communicating the cars issues and maintenance it might need. I started a maintenance plan and now drive worry free! At least I don’t have to look for a real mechanic if I have any issues. I tried my luck with older and cheaper places, even mobile mechanics.. No thank you!! These guys take the time and do the job right!

They are the Best auto repair shop I have ever worked with. Their customer service is amazing. Alan that works there is extremely thorough and very helpful. He made sure all my expectations were met . He made sure all repairs were done on time . He even helped provide a ride for me. Ive had many different repairs done on my cars and will never go anywhere else. They really know what they are doing when it comes to hybrids. Thanks to your entire team. You are top notch.

These guys replaced my timing chain which is a lot of labor and time.. price was high. Guys were efficient. Made a mistake by missing a tooth which is common so delayed me a few days. But guys were awesome even though I would annoy them and call each day to check up haha. Thanks guys

Went in on a Saturday to diagnose my prius and ended up being a wiring issue. They really know what they are doing and they were very quick with the repairs. Will be coming back!

The employees and owner here were ALL incredibly helpful, they bent over backwards to help me get everything I needed for my first hybrid car. I had travel to buy a car from a state away and they were able to get me in and finish all the required work in one day at a great deal so I could be safely on my way home in my new used car. They were very honest and upfront about prices, about what things were important, and what could wait to be done. They explained every problem and solution perfectly, and even took pictures as they were inspecting it so I could see what they are talking about. Im impressed and will never need to find anyone else to service this car, they have my complete trust! Thank you so much for everything Allen!

I was fortunate to find this great place. The customer service is outstanding, I was helped by David at the beginning and Oscar at the end. Oscar explained me in detail everything my car had and what they were doing. My car stayed for less than a week, and now drives like new. Thank you for all your kindness, dedication and excellence, I truly appreciate the level of service, before choosing Esconddo Auto Pros, I called many places and this place seemed to be the best choice in everything and Im very glad I trusted my car here, it was totally worth it ... :))))

They were so friendly and helpful I felt at ease with them. Im definitely going back! I highly recommend them. Their staff is young but capable, professional and on point! Thanks guys!

They took care of the alignment quickly and professionally. Ill come back again.

I chose a hybrid vehicle because I care about the environment...what I didnt realize was hybrid batteries are costly, a headache and can go out on you at a moments notice...Enter Escondido Auto Pros!James the mechanic and owner was kind enough to look after my vehicle after ordering the parts. Especially being a women, several other shops try to take advantage of me but James company was honest, earnest, kind and patient. They fixed it immediately and Im looking forward to pick it up tomorrow! He even updated me on what needs to be fixed next, AND printed the car fax report of the history...Im so thankful good people STILL exist. Thank you God! (Also he honors military service )Thank you James and his team for reminding me that there is still good out there in the world. Just in time for me to drive and see my family in San Francisco

I took my truck there for an oil change and inspection for what else may need to be done. They listed a coolant flush, but this was just done in March so I knew it wasnt needed. I opted to take my truck to get a second opinion. The second place was cheaper on every service, more personable then the guy at Auto pros and let me speak directly to the mechanic who was going to do the work. The kicker was, I paid for 8 qts of oil, I literally picked my truck up and drove 1.5 miles down the street to Performance Auto Care and the mechanic showed me that Auto Pros shorted me 1qt of oil. Performance Auto also did not tell me I needed a coolant flush and when I asked they double checked to make sure they didnt miss it but called me back saying no they dont think it is needed, which built my trust in them. I will take my cars to Performance Auto Care now.Also, I wouldnt have left this review if I wasnt getting multiple text messages a day to leave one about how happy I am of their work. So here you go Escondido Auto Pros, now please stop texting me.

Not many places will go the extra mile to troubleshoot your problems. I had my car at 3 other shops that couldn’t figure it out but I took it to these guys and gave them some time with it. A week later I’m back on the road w my check engine light gone! Always professional and friendly when I spoke with them through the whole process. The shop is super busy all the time which is a great sign. People know these guys are good and that’s why they come here!

Escondido Auto pros, like the name says, they are really professional service mechanics.I was totally please when they replaced my Hybrid battery in June and againYesterday when they performed transmission oil and brake fluid change.

A+ for esco auto pros! They are the only ones with trust outside of the dealership with our hybrid cars. Oscar was a great help, and was even willing to let us pick up our vehicle after hours when we couldnt make it before close. They are professional and courteous and offer a great value on hard to find services. We will definitely be back!

I am a repeat customer, drove 65 miles to Escondido Auto Pros .Wouldnt go anywhere else for hybrid car issues,Alan,Oscar and David take the time to discuss options and repair needs, friendly, excellent service.Would recommend my family and friends to Auto Pros .Thanks guysDanica

I was going to buy a car but wanted to be sure that it was in good shape before doing that so I had EAPros do an inspection and WOW was it thorough. There were pics taken, and a full written report of their findings. Even the seller of the vehicle was impressed with how thorough the inspection was. Aside from the 12v battery there was nothing wrong with the vehicle but the 60k mile service was due so we had EAPros bring it all up to par and everything went off without a hitch. I was even able to get a dent removal company to come out to EAPros to get rid of some dents on my soon to be purchased car. He was GREAT too, if you need the info to THAT guy just ask the staff at EAPros they’ll take good care if you. These guys are awesome, I just wish they would have a shop here where I live. (Vegas) Hard to find an auto shop that won’t take you for a ride. Thorough and fair, that’s all shops need to be and yalls in Eacondido are lucky to have both of those qualities (and more) at Escondido Auto Pros. Thank you to the staff at EAPros!

I took a vehicle in for a pre-purchase inspection. The tech was so helpful and walked me through everything. I ended up purchasing the vehicle and brought it right back for a couple repairs. Service was thorough, they explained everything in detail and they were quick. Id bring my vehicle back here time and time again.

I have been going to Auto Pro now for a few years, i really like everything about the business, they are honest, reliable, they dont overcharge you, very fair. I will continue to take my car and my Daughters car whenever they need maintenance done on them.I deal mostly with Jon and Oscar they are great to have as my Mechanics,.They really know about cars!Dee.

Knowledgeable staff. They kept me updated on the progress of my repairs. And the prices were reasonable.

I came here for a fixing a battery failure. Well, after taking back few weeks, things went wrong again. But they really reasonable, and stand behind their work. The only problem is that I have to drive far to their location to get it fixed, but they would honor the warranty without any issues. After few trial & errors (things failed multiple times), they volunteer to extend the warranty for me also. So I think thats some workmanship and reliability customer need especially when theyre handling with old cars and in need of a reliable mechanical shop.

My go-to auto place! They were very professional and thorough with my Lexus. Recommended!

Oscar is awesome and very knowledgeable about the trade. The mechanics always inform you before doing work and performs the maintenance in a timely manner. I drive 45 mins just to come here because of their customer service and experience.It’s good to see the same mechanics every time I visit. This shows they take care of their employees and have a great work environment.

I needed my brakes done in a bad way and they took care of it. I was a very simple process and they too the time to explain everything they were doing and what needed to be done and why. They also provide financing if you need work done but are in a pinch. It was great working with them and i will be a customer for a long time.

James at Escondido Auto Pros was great from start to finish. Great guy and was very helpful and thorough with the purchase of my Lexus Hybrid. Flying in from out of town, I appreciate the car rides. Highly recommended to anyone and definitely would work with again. Thank you!!

Not many shops take care of their customers like Escondido Auto Pros. I’ve been going to them for 3 years with our cars. Always reliable repairs and great customer service from John & James. Very fair prices and the work exceeds expectations every time. I always recommend them.

Was fast and quick. One of the only places to fix your car besides the dealership. Thx guys

A great shop with friendly and knowledgeable mechanics and management. I came in for an oil change and they found a nail in my tire, repaired quickly and also tested the tire pressure on my other tires. Highly recommended.shop!

My Prius hybrid battery needed replacing after 180,000 miles, so I came to Escondido Auto Pros to take advantage of their great price hybrid refurbished battery -Well, it only lasted 50,000 miles and they said its dead and I need a new one!The owner said, hey 50,000 miles isnt bad- remember its a refurbished battery -So, in conclusion, I wanted to share my experiences, incase it helps anyone: Your cost would be $2,000 for this refurbished battery to last 50k miles.I wish I would have known this hybrid battery was only going to last 50k miles while the Toyota hybrid battery seems to last a minimum of 150k miles.Choosing Escondido Auto Pros for the hybrid battery replacement ended up being the wrong choice.

Service is always outstanding and the costs are very reasonable. Communications is very good; I always know what is happening real time and they go out of their way to keep you up-to-date on what they find during their servicing...and I have never been surprised later...as some businesses do. Bottom line is that they do great work and I trust them! I will gladly be back to handle my service needs in the future.

They fixed my hybrid battery in 2 days and had me right back on the road with a 2 year warranty great service

30K service.Good communication. Appreciate the emailed inspection to review and attached photos of vehicle condition. Also, the repair videos make for a complete customer information package.Would recommend welcoming chairs in the check-in room if one needs to wait while their car is being worked on. Currently need to sit on the curb outside. Easy fix.

I had to have my brakes repaired. They did an inspection, for free as I knew they needed to be replaced anyway, and then completed the repairs quickly and efficiently. The price was very reasonable, and the service was outstanding. There was no talking down to me, making me feel like I was not knowledgeable about my vehicle like so many other shops. I enjoyed the experience and will certainly be back when my vehicle needs a repair.

They have done my toyota prius 2005. They are very professional. I will definitely come back for more service on my A/C system!!!!

So profetional and timely. I will recommend them to all my friends. Thanks for the great work.Innocent

These guys went above and beyond to help me when my brakes failed on my RV. It was a Sunday and my brakes failed on the 78 freeway approaching the 15 - smoke was pouring from the front wheels so I limped into the premises of Escondido Auto-pros. They were closed of course but there was one of their staff members present who allowed me to park the RV in their space until Monday morning. When Monday came around John prioritized my repairs as he could see I was stuck and on vacation - his team worked for 2 days which ended up requiring a complete replacement of brakes, rotors, drums etc on all 4 wheels. Service was tops and price reasonable. I would not hesitate to go back there again - a really good experience.

Worst customer service I have experiences in a repair shop. Couldnt even get a mechanics work notes on a hybrid inspection. Manager fought with me over the phone on his inability of being able to email a file to me with the work order. I would urge you to keep looking for a better shop. We wouldnt never do business with this company again.

My car needed to get the front end looked at due to loose steering, and an oil change. Found Escondido Auto Pros, a veteran owned small business. Courteous staff, very professional. They take photos of your car, and email you a comprehensive write up. The whole experience was very transparent. If I had questions, they were happy to take me out to the car on the lift and show me exactly what the problem was. Very happy with the quality of service and level of professionalism provided by this small business.

Workers are very friendly, they do their job how it’s supposed to. The price is fair and/or affordable. No complaints and would highly recommend.

Always a pleasure dealing with Escondido Auto Pros. They deserve 6 stars in my book! Can’t beat the service and options they have for hybrids in San Diego! I’ll refer everyone to them from now on. So happy to find a place I can take my car to and trust!

I brought my car here for repair a few months ago and could not be happier. The pricing was fair and the service man who did the work was friendly. I was able to go into the garage and see exactly what work was being done and what each component would cost. The desk person wrote up a formal quote that included all of the work and the add-ons and non-essential items, which was a big help in determining what exactly I would move forward with. This place is fair, and does great work. Highly recommend.

These guys provide great service. They are very high tech and professional and are definitely up with the times. I was having problems with my Lexus RX 350 and they were able to repair it for less than the Lexus dealer in Escondido and still offer a 2 year or 24k mile warranty. This is my new Lexus mechanic shop in Escondido! Thanks guys for the honest work!

They are honest and reasonable with their work. I like how the Manager also has a Prius so gives them more credibility. Seems simple but makes a difference. They did a good job and will go back.

I only take my cars to Escondido Auto Pros. They always get me in quickly. And I can count on them to give me an honest answer as to whats wrong with my vehicle. This time we needed a new battery and an overall maintenance check of the car. Great job as always!

In todays day & age, quality customer service is hard to find. The customer is definitely valued & appreciated here at ECA. Their work hours are ideal, providing service on both SAT & SUN which is highly unusual. My scheduled appointment was at 7am on Saturday. My vehicle needed an oil change, fuel induction service & an inspection overall. I was kept apprised of findings, recommendations were given & all service was provided at a reasonable price. I was given every consideration when additional services needed to be performed & an explanation about the pros & cons of repairs was given. All work was completed in a reasonable amount of time. I was even entrusted a loaner vehicle to return home while services were being performed at no additional cost.. I was relieved to learn that my vehicle is in very good condition & informed that the upkeep & maintenance of my vehicle is worth the investment. The genuine courtesy & professionalism demonstrated by Dave is invaluable. I am so glad they remain in business after taking over Cals Auto Pros; The quality & integrity of their business carries on.

Long story short ...I made the mistake of going with a an online company for a cheaper hybrid battery option for my Prius. Well that was a mistake! I went with a brand new battery this time. In and out in a day as promised. Great service from the pros!

Great local shop. I came in for an oil change and a brake noise and they checked it out within a few hours and emailed me a nice inspection report showing exactly what was wrong with the brakes. It made it easy for me to feel comfortable going forward with the brake repairs on my Toyota since they were able to sow me the problem in such detail. The brakes are great now. No more noises.

I brought my second gen prius here for an oil pan replacement because I was in the process of moving and didnt have time to do the repair myself. They did excellent work and did it in a timely manner. Great customer service! I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

Excellent care and nice personnel. I miss John. Will he returning?

Trust the positive reviews - these folks are honest about what they can and cannot do, what your car needs, and what your options are. Their prices are also good!

Always friendly staff and honest employees that take care of your car as it was there own.

Just got back to Escondido and needed a brake job etc. Its hard to find a reliable honest mechanic, but Escondido Auto Pros filled the bill. Im usually a skeptic about online reviews but Im happy to say that EAP more than exceeded my expectations.I would hardily recommend them.Thanks Guys!

I have been taking my cars to Tim (the owner) for years and he has always done a great job. I brought my van in for brakes the other day and was really impressed with the detailed inspection report (with pictures) that they emailed me. The report outlined what repairs were critical, what could wait and what was in good shape. Their prices are very reasonable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The waiting room is comfortable with tv and coffee. FYI-The shop is located in the back side of the building.

Excellent service and fair prices. They have a super cool platform in which they update you about your car and show you pictures. They also informyou of everything they have checked. I will be coming back for sure!

Im so glad I found these guys. I have been going to a few shops in town but these are the first guys to take the time to explain and prioritize everything. They have a high tech inspection that they do on your car with pictures and videos. Its a real trip to see everything in pictures. Thanks guys.

The guys at Escondido Auto Pros are not only really nice, but they are really good at what they do. They diagnose problems quickly, and fix them just as fast. They have been nothing but courteous and helpful each time that I have had my car in for service. They always go above and beyond to make sure that I am happy, and that my car is in top shape when I leave. It is hard to find a shop that you can trust, and are highly qualified. Thank you to Tim, John and all the guys at EAP.

Paul was really nice and explained everything to me before he did any work on my car. I only have one car and need it to get around and these guys are a huge help. The probably are not the cheapest but I feel like I can trust them and they always take the time to listen and explain.

Best price for brakes and rotors around. They are honest and timely. Exactly what you want in a mechanic. Escondido Auto Pros is the only place i bring my Toyota Prius. Thanks guys!!

Great place. My wife was on a road trip and broke down on the highway. Had it towed to these guys because they had good reviews. David the manager took really good care of her and the car. He even emailed me pictures and a detailed report of what was wrong. The price was fair especially since they have a 2 year nationwide warranty. Thanks.

Great work and friendly staff! I highly recommend this auto repair shop for family and friends.

Tim took great care of my 1931 Model A pick up. I came in for an Alternator check and he did exactly what he said he would do. Very pleasant and no pressure or hard sell to do anything else. Im sure Ill be backThanks Tim..

We are beyond impressed with John and the service provided. I think we have found a new home for our vehicle needs. Thank you John and Escondido Auto Pros!

Dear John I think I finally found a place I could take my car and trust that I am going to get a great deal Im very satisfied with the couple of times Ive been having Escondido place thank you for taking such good care of us and looking forward to doing more business with you trust is a hard thing these days and at this point I feel that I can trust you

Liked the service and price compared to Toyota dealer. Like the email follow-up program, car was done on time and brakes work great🤙

Dont trust these guys! I spent over $5k for repairs and till this day, my car is not 100% repaired. They keep telling me its something different every time and want me to bring it back to look at. But why would I do so if Ill be spending more $ when they couldnt pinpoint or repair the problem the 1st time??? They say they honor warranty but when they fix my brakes last time, they supposedly said it was fixed and now they say its something different. I dont TRUST them because Ive been lied to about the loaner car being available for use. Also, after picking up my car....3 hrs later, my car broke down and they said it was the gas tank was empty when my gas light just came on and the car had 16 miles left.Its just a NIGHTMARE with these guys!!!

I was looking for a hybrid battery repair shop in San Diego when I ran across these guys online. I had them repair the hybrid battery in my Prius and recharge the ac system. I was surprised at how polite they were and how clean the shop was. They provided excellent service for the price.

I bring both of my Lexus to this shop. They provide a top notch work on these vehicle and the service is prompt. I highly recommend them!

Quick and friendly service! Helped me out when my starter was broken and got it fixed in a matter of hours. Thanks!

Got an alignment on my truck, they did a great job and the price was lowest I could find in town. Very happy. Thanks EAP

Very thorough and very polite. Everything was emailed to me so I could see what needed to be done -- photos and text. Will definitely go again.

SCAMMERS! This shop is NOT to be trusted. Had a diagnosis done on my 2008 ford escape and was told a replacement transmission would need to be installed at a cost of $3300. This was nearly 2x what other shops wanted when I called around. I had another shop take care of the swap to find out that was not the issue at all. When I called them out on it their excuse was that was what the manual said. Im sure the first course of action is NOT to replace the transmission but further diagnosis. They will find an excuse to charge you for the most expensive repairs possible and it wont even be the issue. There are many other reputable shops to take your car to. DONT make the same stake I did.

I have been using their service for years and I can say that they are pretty thorough

Wow! These guys are very conscientious! A little hard to find their location. But very happy with their performance!

These guys are great. I have been looking for a family repair shop for a while. Always being let down everywhere I went. Then I found Escondido Auto Pros. Do yourself a favor and trust your families vehicles to these guys.

I had, to get new rear shocks. I worked with John at their office. Very friendly and proved to be cost effective.

They were fast, friendly, and gave excellent service. Would definitely recommend if you need car service.

These guys are awesome. My mechanic recommended them to me for something they couldn’t accomplish, and now my Prius is running smoother than ever after a throttle body tune up.

My experience has exceeded expectations for sure. This place has great customer service, they know what they are doing and most of all no BS. High quality within price range and no hassle. Thanks Escondido Auto Pros!!!

The Escondido Auto Pros are super duper Pros, fast clean and I like their warranty for there 5 yr Hybrid batteries. Great job guys.

Great price, good work. Would recommend to anyone.

I trust only this shop and their mechanics to perform repairs from the simplest to the more complex repair, not only the reasonable prices but honest service and timely manner in which they are done. Been a customer for a long time and will continue to be.This place is a true gem!

Escondido Auto Pros is the only shop Ill take my familys vehicles to. They provide SUPERIOR service at very fair prices. You can count on an HONEST diagnosis at Esco Auto Pros. They have top of the industry, ASE mechanics, as well as top notch technology that can illustrate to you exactly what is wrong with your vehicle (VERY COOL). Paul is extremely knowledgeable and is someone you can trust.Esco Auto Pros are the INDUSTRY LEADERS in the Auto Repair world! If you go anywhere else, you are missing out. Do yourself a favor and try these guys out!

Excellent service, professional staff. Very cool web based auto service detail delivered via email. All three of my vehicles to to Esco Auto Pros.

I walked into Escondido autopros asked for a car alignment, and right away was attended, like there customer service and their shop is really clean . I would strongly recommend this shop to a future customer, thanks for your service guys.

Tim, did a great job replacing the hybrid battery on my Toyota Prius, saved me a lot of money, and had the car ready in one day.

I live in OC and drove over 50 miles to save $1K on my hybrid battery over the dealer price for my 2005 Prius. Escondido Auto Pros were accurate in their estimate, they were polite, had coffee, water, wifi, and more with the savings and the warranty on the battery (way better than the Toyota dealer.) They had a little electric car I could use to run errands and grab lunch. This was worth the trip, and the service there made it so much more convenient than the regular trip to the dealer for service!

From that first phone call to the mechanic who was the last person I saw, the people were professional, helpful and courteous. Will bring my car for future repairs!

Grear customer service, preestimates for work and cost very accurate, kept us informed on progress of car, and one of the few people we could find willing to work on a rotory engine. Tim was excellent to work with. Highly recommend!
