Took my car in to get the brake fluid changed and bleeded. The owner inspected the vehical instead even thoe i did not authorise this inspection and charged me for the inspection. Did not do the job i asked so i just picked up my car now im out $120 for doing nothing. When you ask for an oil change on a car you do not rotate the tires. Horrible buisness you have been warned.

Un magnífico servicio y atención

Took my car for a smog check about 3 months ago and some diagnostic issues. The owner took it upon himself to “quote un quote “ fix my immediate problems without notifying me. Overcharged for everything and did almost nothing . This is a dishonest business and the people there including a young man there have terrible customer service. Do not take your car there . They charged me more than a 1000 dollars. I paid because I didn’t want any issues , but I have a civil responsibility to let the public know about this business. Thank you.

Fantastic place to get your vehicle repaired!! From the beginning to the end. I drove away satisfied and happy with my experience! Thank you General Auto Repair for your hard work and professionalism..

PLEASE.. do yourself a favor and never EVER go to this shop.. I went there with an emergency and I was not only treated and ridiculed by the "manager" HIS cavalier way of speaking with customers which I was... Who spent 8k+ was absolutely RIDICULOUS.. I WILL NEVER EVER GO HERE OR RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.. My whole experience was worse than what I was faced with in the beginning... RUN.. AND NEVER LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE.. "humming/ oil fingerprints/ HORRIBLE service.. was the least to worry about... WORST EVER

Great service from all the team members and fast response


Oct 07, 2024

It was my 1st time here at General Auto Repair, and I was impressed with the work. Ismael was very friendly an honest up front.


Oct 07, 2024

Muy mala experiencia no se enfocaron en lo absoluto en el problema de el carro solo metio partes que ni al caso me endeude y después me salió peor por que era la los empaques de la cabeza de motor y según ahí no tenía absolutamente nada el carro 😒

The owner of myself has no integrity, I called before I came letting him know I was coming from Poway, he said he would get me it was 3:50 p.m. when I got there. He says oh no we can't do it, we close at 6:00. It apparently takes 2 hours to do a four-wheel alignment. So after wasting 45 minutes of driving in about $20 in gas, I'm told they can't and won't work today, I would have to leave it overnight 😂 $120/hr is their rate. They were going to charge me $120 to change a belt that takes 5-8minutes. You can get way better deals off of University from more reputable shops that actually have integrity and will fulfill their word, and not price rape you. Crazy with this being as close to the border as it is, I expected the lack of integrity but I did not expect the overpriced rates 😂 place is trash, I'm going to fill out a 1099 oid to make sure the IRS investigates this Place full audit UCC audit and everything.... Should always keep your integrity you never know who practices law 😂😂😂

I highlly recomend General Auto repair, beside the personal are kind, they are really knowledgeble and prices are really reasonable


Sep 07, 2024

Terrible service, they charge for absolutely everything. I took my car, they diagnosed and, apparently, fixed it, and in the end the car remained the same and they charged me almost 1000 dollars. It's better to take your car somewhere else.

Horrible and unprofessional, especially the son of the mechanic who is a knucklehead.

This afternoon I took the Acadia in for a tire patch and a faulty air system. General did an inspection and discovered that I also needed spark plugs, a timing belt, struts, a new blower, air filter, and oil change... Oh and the hydrolic hood supporter. They knew that I was only in town for the day and gave my car full attention. Just 5 hours later "everything" was done. I am very happy with the results and above par service.

Bess service from the owner ok


Feb 07, 2024

Charges you just to check your vehicle $120. When other shops do it for free.


Feb 07, 2024

Excelente servicio y a tiempo. El personal muy atentos.


Feb 07, 2024

General Auto Repair was extremely professional, efficient , in-expensive and fast. Went in for an oil change where another “mechanic shop” broke my dip stick and refused to fix it. Took my car to General Auto Repair and they took care of the problem quickly and with an excellent attention to the client. I highly recommend this shop for any of your vehicle needs (including luxury cars). Thank you so much for the amazing experience! I will be back with more business for you.


Feb 07, 2024

Great service, honest,prompt, no surprises. Thank you very much


Feb 07, 2024

Had to tow my Jeep in an emergency and Ismael and his team fixed it in record time at a very reasonable price. 100% recommended.


Feb 07, 2024

Muy atentos y te explican todo con detalles.


Feb 07, 2024

Very honest people. My car was vibrating and making a loud humming noise. I took it to General Auto Repair and asked for diagnostics. After the diagnostics Mr. Ismael patiently explained every detail before giving me a quote. As he had predicted the noise went away, no more vibrations and the drive feels a lot more smoother. My experience with General Auto Repair was great, I can open heartedly recommend it to everyone.
