Eric's Auto Towing & Tire

I called Eric’s auto when my Tesla tire was deflated because of a nail. Very nice gentleman came out and did a great job patching the tire, in a very timely manner. I was so thankful to have such good service when I was stuck on the roadside. Thank you.

These guys are extremely great people had an issue with a utility trailer that was fully loaded and in the middle of transport. These guys not only worked with us on a very low budget but got our trailer back on the road super fast. In travel or local, I would highly suggest giving these guys a call. Thank you guys for everything you did and getting us back on the road again.

2 Stars — Issue “Fixed,” But Dishonesty Left a Bad Taste I’ll give them 2 stars because they technically fixed the issue in the end — but consumers, beware. I’ve been a loyal customer of this shop for years. They’ve handled all four of my vehicles and, aside from a few minor hiccups, have generally done a good job. Unfortunately, my recent experience completely changed my opinion. I brought my Lexus RX back after Lexus informed me that the front brake pads had no shims, which was causing a squeak. This was surprising, as Erics had replaced the front rotors and pads in February 2025. Lexus also told me the pads were aftermarket — not OEM — even though I specifically paid for factory parts. When I returned to the shop, I dealt with Jr at the front desk. He inspected the vehicle and event

Very kind shop. Got a flat tire and my car has a unique tire size. Shop got the tire needed and quoted a great price knowing I was stranded. If I lived in the area, then this would be a wonderful place to work with as a trusted mechanic. Thank you for a job well done!!

These guys go above an beyond to help you out! They are honest and take their work in town seriously. As a woman, it can be difficult to find honest and reliable car service. Eric's Auto has been in Carpinteria for a long time. My family has used their services time and time again. I had something happen to my vehicle and was stranded over the weekend. They were willing to work around difficult circumstances and got my car to safety.
