One of the best auto shops I've ever been to. Brought my 2014 Subaru in for a potential turbo issue, which ended up being fine. Recommended replacing spark plugs & did a carbon cleaning for me & it was ready the next day. Super friendly atmosphere. They are now my new auto shop!

Just a absolute pleasure to deal with a true professional. Integrity, knowledge, and friendly. Given a cause of the problem and explained about the needed repair. Vehicle was delivered as promised to include the cost, no surprises. Just a good business to deal with!!

Terry is a guy you can trust to do the right thing. I had a Hyundai Santa Fe sport with 105K miles. It started using oil (of course right after the warranty expired). Terry suggested an engine clean and flush to clean off carbon that he said was an issue with this car. We did it and it worked. Couple years later at 140K, the engine failed. I towed it to Caledonian late a night. The next day, Terry called to say the engine was toast, but that Hyundai was extending its warranty for the exact problem Terry diagnosed. Instead of having Terry rebuild it for me, I towed it to Hyundai Escondido where they agreed to replace my engine for FREE. I have more stories of ways that Terry has proven his honesty on my son's two cars as well. You can't beat his prices too.

I called Terry on a Tuesday needing an urgent repair to my Diesel truck and he got me in the next day. I know he had a full schedule but he fit me in anyway and got me on the road again asap. He's a really easy guy to work with and you can trust that he's not working you for more $$$. Go see Terry, you will be glad you did.

Honest, reliable and affordable don't begin to describe Terry and his son, Jarod. They are always there for this community. Terry is like a family friend to so many in this community and beyond. Women especially can feel safe and comfortable with them.

Terry is the best. I have been coming here for almost 20 years now. Four kids and 10+ cars later, I have only had great experiences here. I highly recommend it to anyone!

Caledonia did a great job repairing my 2014 Ford Escape. The AC needed freon, I had cracked a cv joint and it needed need cabin air filters.The price was fair and they did an outstanding job. Terry was my point of contact and he was also the person who did the troubleshooting. It takes time to find the little noises that customers describe. But he did it.Great auto repair shop!I highly recommend this business!

Terry who is the owner told me to be there at 9 am when they opened and would find the problem with my A/C. I was at Caledonian auto repair at 9 am, Terry told me I could wait if I wanted to until they found out the problem. In about 10 minutes Jimmy one of the Mechanics came out started my truck up and new right away what the problem was. My truck was fixed in 45 minutes and I was on my way. Any one in need of any auto repair should definitely go to Caledonian auto repair in San Marcos Honest Fair and highly knowledgeable Mechanics. Thanks Caledonian auto repairService: General repairs & maintenance

I have taken both my cars here a few times for issues and I honestly can say this place is the best. I grew up with in a family that works for the big car companies, dating all the way back to letters with Henry Ford. Family Members that own their own shops currently ect. Anyways, I moved across the country from them, and sadly did not choose to go down the same path so I am in my own for my car troubles. I am aware of some details of the car, but fixing it is beyond me. Terry is an amazing, honest, reliable man. He will be honest with you about what needs to be fixed now; what can wait, and what may happen in the future. When we first moved to CA both my cars decided to fail a smog test and terry was able to help me fix it, even tho it was not a "simple" fix within just a few days. This last week my car decided to make an awful noice, I called and made the sound it was making, he suggested it I had AAA to just tow it in, just in case. I did, and I am thankful I didn't put my kids back in that car because the drive shaft broke. He called me later that day and let me know that I had 2 options, the part thru the manufacture of the car is cheaper, but is back ordered, or a off brand was more expensive but could be there in 2 days. He also told Me some other things he thought were important to note on the car (it's a rust bucket thanks to living in FL for several years). We decided to wait since we have 2 cars and it took about 2 weeks because of the mail service, and Ford. Once he got the part it was only a day. You can tell that Terry and his crew care. And because of that, I am comfortable and confident putting my kids into the car after it leaves his shop. I have been to other shops and have NOT had that confidence. So it means the world. Terry is always more than fairly priced too, which of course is a bonus. I try to get a gift card to somewhere nearby to get the crew lunch after we pick up one or both of the cars, THATS how awesome they are.
