Superior. I recently had quite a bit of suspension and steering work done on my '94 C1500 . From the very beginning through completion of the work, Ricky and Justin were partners with me in my vision. Fair pricing, keep me completely in the loop as the work was being done and without a doubt they went beyond my expectations, doing things in such a way that future upgrades would be easier. I personally tinker with a wrench now and again, so it was a genuine pleasure watching and working with these guys. I think it's a matter of pride for them. I have and would again recommended this shop to friends, check them out...

Mission Auto Care took care of my vehicle quickly and at a fair price. The team was professional, honest, and easy to work with. Everything was handled efficiently, and I’m happy with the service. I highly recommend them.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE FRAUDS!!! Took my Kia in for the check engine light. They charged $210 for the diagnostic and kept it overnight to do a cold start. Called me the next day saying they wanted to change a spark plug and do a fuel injection with a quote of $1400. TOTALLY INSANE. this guy is a total fraud and a crook. Stay away from this place if you’re looking for an honest mechanic. Response to owner: it’s pretty clear based on previous and very recent reviews from other customers that your business has a habit of gauging people for whatever you can get out of them. $1400 for new spark plugs and a fuel injection is outrageous and the fact that you attempt to argue that it’s not is pretty bold. I went to the dealership and bought all new spark plugs myself for $180. It says a lot about y

I do NOT recommend taking your car here. PRIMARY CONCERN The manager personally showed me a hose in my car that was supposedly a “problem" so I agreed to have it fixed and agreed to other recommended services since I was there. After getting my car back, I discovered the "problem" hose was never replaced. When I asked about it, the manager made excuses, got defensive, and changed his story. It's like going to the dentist to pull an infected tooth, getting other work done since you're there, and then waking up to find the tooth intact - and then being told it’s fine. OTHER CONCERNS • I was charged $100 in labor to install a cabin air filter — after they volunteered to do it when I said I’d just do it myself. Thankfully I caught it. • I was quoted $500 for a service a dealer quoted at $2

Overall nice people to work with. I paid $79 or $89 for break inspection and was told my break pads were at 2, so I took it to Oceanside Tire & Service Center and they did a free break inspection and said it was at 4, no need to replace now. Also the Lexus manufacturer recommends to replace the oil every 10,000 miles and Mission Auto Care recommends 7,500 mile change (no problem). However a short time later my change oil light came on again, and I did the math (I wrote down the mileage changed the last time there) and they reset it to go off at the 5,000 mile mark. I took it in and he showed me to reset it to a higher number (thank you). Just be aware you maybe doing more oil changes than needed.
