My engine was unrepairable after Dennis and his techs kept screwing up and the car continued to overheat. I had another mechanic find an engine for my vehicle and when he was taking the old out he noticed that the head gasket that Dennis himself repaired did it incorrectly and that is why it overheated yet again. When Dennis put in a new radiator in they didn't do a a complete flush and after numerous flushes there was still rust in the new radiator. I needed to replace the radiator with less than a few hundred miles on the new one Dennis replaced. My vehicle was absolutely destroyed by their repairs.

Had a great experience. My car was leaking (transmission related). They were able to find the leak quickly and repair it the next day. I felt like the pricing was fair and they were extremely transparent.

I wish I had discovered this little shop in Carlsbad sooner. I frequent a coffee shop across the street and often observe this place always busy. Prepping to sell a vehicle I encountered a Check Engine Light. I walked across the street one day and explained the problem to them. They were super friendly and gave me a straight forward quote to repair. I scheduled an appt & got it fixed in a timely manner. They will be my go to shop for future needs .

A truly honest mechanic! I went in with paperwork from the dealership where I had taken my car previously telling me I needed front (especially front) and back brakes and a car battery. I chose to take it in for a second and more fair opinion to Carlsbad Automotive Technology because I was referred to them and because of the stellar reviews. Dennis listened to all of my concerns, looked at the paperwork I brought in from the dealership with their recommendations and an estimate of almost $600. He told me that my brakes still had quite a bit of time on them and that I'll probably need to do the front brakes in the next 4 months or so depending upon how often I drive and the back brakes even longer, he also checked the battery and that did need replacing. In addition the tire air light was back on, (the main reason I had gone to the dealership a week prior) he re-calibrated and made sure all tires were at the right pressure. I ended up paying about $130 and now have found a mechanic I trust and this is now my mechanic and my husbands mechanic.

Our truck broke down while working in the area and Dennis and his team took great care of us. The bill was more than reasonable and they got us out of there quicker than I would have thought. They are an example of what an honest and reliable mechanic should be. Thank you to Dennis and his team!

Can't say enough about these guys. Honest... thorough... reasonably priced. Trust me when I tell you you won't be disappointed. They were originally recommended by my neighbor and now I swear by them. Hard to find reliable and honest auto technicians these days. These guys are it!! Thank you!

Super helpful! My check engine light was on, they checked it out and found there was no problem. The light was on from a low oil issue that got fixed a few days prior. They turned off the light with no charge. Im so happy there was an easy fix.

This shop is the best I've come across in my medium career of taking my cars to shops. I truly believe in Dennis and his morals, including honesty, loyalty, value, & pride in his product. Took my car to him for a "blow & go" originally, & ended up understanding he and his crew as no bs, straight shootin, quality mechanics and owners.

Dennis did a great job fixing my Radiator for my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and he got it done in a single day! I definitely take me vehicle back to him. A good honest mechanic is hard to find!
