Brought my car here for an inspection as I was shopping around for repair estimates after my dealership quoted me a ridiculous amount. They did a great job, completed the work at a good price in a reasonable amount of time, and were friendly. Would highly recommend.

I have a 2014 kia sportage and had taken it to the dealer in Carlsbad for an oil change and 90,000 mile service which included the fuel system being flushed and the back end of my car felt really wobbly- it cost an arm and a leg and after I left the car was acting as if it was struggling for gas when I accelerated and made a sputtering sound. I took it back in to kia carlsbad and they said it must be the gas I was using (they didn't even ask where I get gas by the way) and also I needed to drive it aroind since they flushed the fuel systems. Anyway after calling back to say the problem didn't go away after I drove it around more as instructed, I gave up because they would need to charge for them to look at it. A great friend of mine has worked with California Automotive for her personal vehicles for years and the company her husband works takes all of their service vehicles here for @10+years. Eduardo and Lulu got me in asap. They were honest and upfront and showed me everything that needed to be addressed. They also gave me an order of priority in case budget was an issue because they wanted to make sure the car was safe to drive. I needed an overhaul on my car and they did everything brakes, wheels, alignment, broken suspension, fixed engine mount, and smog! My engine mount was broken and kia did not say a word. The wobbly feeling in the rear I had was not needing just alignment l&tires per kias recommendation. A part of suspension was broken ( I had a joe hauler on the back and used it for my son's dirtbike one trip and honestly I think it was too much weight for the car but I was desperate to take him to the track). I already new I needed new tires and brakes. The estimate for the tires was outrageous along with getting my brakes done at Kia. When my car left with dealership with a problem it didn't have before the service at kia was performed, I knew I needed to find someone trustworthy and knowledgeable. We know take our service trucks to California Automotive Specialist as well. Highly recommend this shop. Plus it's family operated and I love to support smaller businesses.

I got into an accident. When I tell you go here if you want quality and fast work on your automobile I mean it ! Mr.Eduardo and his team are the best out in Oceanside! They fix your problems and understand them. They aren't a business, they are there for the community ! I strongly recommend.

Patient and thorough. I normally go to the dealer to have my vehicles serviced and decided to try CAS for some axel work on my 2099 Nissan Rogue. Eduardo and his wife care about cars. They pay attention to detail and answered all of my questions. Quick turn-around. I will come back and recommend to a friend.
