This place is the very best!! Melissa is always so kind, and the entire team is fast and reliable. I'm always confident that they won't overcharge me or make me get any unnecessary updates. I come here for anything from oil changes to more complex issues with my car. Highly, highly recommend A-1!

I stopped at A1 Auto after my mechanic said they were too busy to take me that day. A1 got me in ASAP ... then get this -- they actually escorted me into the shop and showed me the issue with my car. Seriously? Am I on Hidden Camera? It turned out to be a problem stemming from a recall the dealer fixed a month prior. They charged me a small diagnostic fee, and my car is now at the dealer being fixed FOR FREE. They could have just fixed it and changed me, and I'd have never been the wiser. DONE! I'm going nowhere but A1 Auto for my cars from now on. Thanks, A1!!! Scott W

My wife and I have had our Hondas serviced there on two occasions, with extensive work on both. I found the staff to communicate clearly the costs up front, and they explained the risks / benefits of waiting to repair certain items. They are knowledgeable, work efficiently, and called me along the way with updates when needed. Even the visit summary for the repairs communicates exactly what the cost was for parts, labor, and the actions taken. We will use them as much as possible!

Kevin and his guys have worked on my personal and work vehicles many times, and every time is just like the last...A-1 exceptional service! A-1 Auto has a great little shop right in the heart of Carlsbad Village, and is easily accessible from Coast Hwy or the I-5 freeway.Super clean shop! I've been around a little while, and gone through lots of shops and mechanics in the past. I can tell you without hesitation, I have never seen a cleaner or better maintained shop...EVER!! That's important, trust me on that one. Their attention to detail is impeccable, pricing is fair, and they stand behind their work.If your vehicle is as important to you as our service vehicles are to us, then you should check out Kevin and his family-friendly team at A-1 Auto. We're glad we did, and I'm sure you will be too.Services: Electrical

I have known Kevin for many years, including before his ownership of A-1, and he has always been known as an honest and extremely knowledgeable mechanic. He and Melissa run a spotless and efficient shop. A-1 is the only auto care business I feel I can completely trust.This week they repaired my wife's Volvo's A/C and they changed the oil and did all 4 four brakes on my RAM ecodiesel and they are both in great shape again. I strongly recommend them.

I was recommended to come to this place years ago by a friend because it's an auto shop that is extremely fair. It can be hard to find a place you can trust. While they are a bit more expensive than your standard oil change shop, it's more than worth it because you don't get charged for things you don't need, which is cheaper in the long run. I'll be a customer for years to come.
