“I highly recommend Cal West Auto Center. I took my car in for a standard oil change and Drew and his team were able to figure out a different issue with my car that two shops prior could not fix.”
“My last mechanic passed away in 2019 and it's been very difficult finding someone else to work on my 1967 Cadillac convertible. I finally found the right place and it's Jim at R&D Automotive. The motor for the top stopped working and I've been calling around trying to find someone who was even willing to look at it. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I called at least a dozen different shops until I found R&D and spoke to Jim. Jim was very upfront with me and said that he hadn't worked on this before, but was willing to take a look. Jim did what you expect a good mechanic to do: figure out what's working and not working. And then be able to fix the problem. Unfortunately, the motor for the power top was the problem and needed to be replaced. It wasn't cheap, but the power top works now and I can finally actually wash the car! Jim is what I look for in a mechanic and anyone I do business with. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to those in need.”

763 W San Marcos Blvd UNIT 109, San Marcos“When I say the best...I mean the BEST auto mechanic I've EVER been to. Terry, the owner, is a gem of a human. Being a female going into an auto shop, it's already expected I'm on my A game becuase most mechanics will add things to the bill that you don't need and hoodwink you. Terry was the EXACT OPPOSITE. It's clear as day he cares about his customers and creates such an amazing experience from the moment you come in stressed that your car is messed up, to the moment he assesses the issue and repairs. I found my forever mechanic. Thank you Caledonian Auto! ??”
“They tried, for two days, but ultimately they could not determine the root cause of my transmission problem. They did speculate about a particular part however the cost was exuberant. All in all they did what they could!”
“This is the second time I've been here.. I recommen these guys got both my transmissions for my mamalonas here.. and it only took them 2 days to get installed!!! Gracias Muchachos...❤️ For all your awesome work !! Will definitely recommend you to my camaradas!! Xo”

736 W San Marcos Blvd # 105, San Marcos“Excellent service! Price paid was exactly what was estimated, and was much less than other estimates from other transmission shops. Sal was friendly and very knowledgeable. He offered a warranty, where other transmission shops would not. Work was done on time and he communicated the progress regularly. The transmission worked better than it ever has. I would highly recommend speedy tune and brakes to family and friends!”
“We Had an emergency situation with our car and we needed a good, local mechanic for our Toyota hybrid vehicles. They are AAA approved. We had repairs done in a quick time frame. They were easy to work with, and we are happy to add them as our new mechanic for our cars. They even had my car washed for us too!”
“I brought my car back to Cal West to get the brakes repaired. I didn't have an appt. Drew and his team were able to fit me in. As always, they didn't disappoint! Professional service, Friendly, courteous and honest. Pricing is fair and reasonable. It's great when you have complete confidence in their integrity & workmanship. Thank you Drew and Team for always exceeding my expectations.”
