Brake Stop & Auto Repair - San Marcos

Here is the reply to brake stop saying they don't have me on record, this place is a complete joke. Here are pictures of my truck being there on October 3rd. 2025. A quién? You guys quoted me $1,300 for a repair that my mechanic fixed for $300 as well as a diagnosis of almost 300??? Never take your vehicles here !!

Excellent customer services, great staff, and the work that I get done on my car they never disappoint me.. I've been going to them for 3 years now and Richard always does great service. I will say they have a loyal customer for life.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Richard and his team at Brake Stop! From the moment I brought my car in, they treated me with such care and professionalism. They diagnosed and fixed not just one, but a couple of oil leaks, replaced my starter, and had me safely back on the road in no time. What impressed me most was not only the quality of their work but the peace of mind they gave me — I left feeling completely confident and comfortable knowing my car was in the best hands. It’s rare to find a shop that combines skill, honesty, and genuine dedication to their customers the way they do. Brake Stop has absolutely earned my trust, and I know I’ll be bringing my car here forever. Truly a five-star experience!

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with an auto repair shop. We rented a U-Haul and accidentally left our furniture dolly inside the truck after dropping it off for service.

To make matters worse, the owner is a stuck-up piece of work who clearly understands nothing about customer service. Their attitude and the overall abysmal customer service when we tried to resolve the issue were appalling. Avoid this place at all costs if you value your property and expect even a shred of decent service.

Horrible Experience – Totally Misdiagnosed My Car! I cannot even begin to explain how frustrating my experience was with Brake Stop & Auto Repair I brought my car in because it wasn’t turning on, and after a "thorough" inspection, they told me the issue was a faulty fuse box module that needed a replacement… and they were charging me a staggering $1800 for it. To top it off, they were completely upfront about how even with that replacement, “there was no guarantee that would fix the problem.” I felt totally uneasy about this, so I decided to get a second opinion. I picked up my vehicle and paid the $290 diagnostic fee to Brake Stop & Auto Repair. I then took it to a different shop, and guess what? The real issue turned out to be a problem with the power steering column—something this sho
