Wonderful! Knowledgeable, concise, clean, efficient, friendly... My particular boss recommended Ray Frey years ago and I've never been disappointed. Thank you!

First time needing my car repaired after my warranty expired. Needed to get my front breaks done. They were straightforward with what needed to be done provided a breakdown of cost over the phone. I called towards the end of the day just to follow up and it was just about ready to be picked up. In by 7am and out by 4:30pm. Same day service! Plus they washed it!!! I really appreciate the service provided and would definitely recommend!

Excellent service on my 2 cars. We are very long-time satisfied customers. The staff are the greatest and cheerful.

I actually look forward to my next oil change. The banter that goes on in the office is always entertaining. It is so reassuring to have honest automobile service. Ray and staff will give it to you straight up. The whole crew seem to have a good sense of humor and they all work so well together. This is in addition to giving high quality service at reasonable rates. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. They are the best!

I can’t recommend Ray Frey Auto enough! Ray and Teresa are truly the best — so welcoming, honest, and helpful. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in good hands. They took the time to explain everything about my car, no pressure, and didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. It’s rare to find an auto shop that you can really trust, but with them, it’s clear they genuinely care about their customers. If you’re looking for an honest, reliable shop, Ray Frey Auto is where you want to go. Ray and Teresa, if you ever read this, thank you! You guys are the real deal, and I’m so grateful for the great service and care you provided.

Wow!! I finally found an honest service center. Even though I live in Murrieta ( boy friend lives in SanDiego) I’ll make the drive for any future service.

Have been taking our cars & trucks here for decades. Super service. Always. And their explantions about the car's woes are as fascinating as those by the Car Talk Guys (old PBS show)

Highly recommend. Fixed my 2000 f150 in just a day and gave me a detailed and accurate diagnosis of what was wrong.

Professional, expert,experienced, and extremely skilled owner, Ray Frey! Over the many years I've taken vehicles to him, he's never let me down. I trust him and the mechanics he employs. His business is truly a family business. Born and raised in San Diego, he is fair and trustworthy.

As always, Ray took care of my problem that I didn’t even know that I had, and probably saved me from roadside emergencies. Can’t recommend him enough.

I have been taking my vehicles to Ray Frey Auto Center for many years and they have always provided top notch service. I highly recommend them for all your auto maintenance and repair needs.

Thank you Ray for giving my wife's 17 year Prius more years of use. I appreciate very much you showing me the pluses and minuses on keeping this puppy going. Respecting and supporting my decision to get a new hybrid battery pack was what I needed that day. Following your advice on oil changes will allow me to provide my wife with safe and reliable transportation. Complex auto repair matters are never clear. You took the time to understand my needs and concerns to create a positive final result. Thanks again.

The few times I've needed to get my car fixed I've taken it to Rey Frey and have had a great experience every time. They are knowledgeable and are good at explaining what is wrong and what the next steps are. They are not high pressure.

Way overpriced and was told it was time to get a new car….I then went to 3 totally different mechanics afterwards and was given quotes for about 500 bucks less to fix the issue …Never settle for one shops opinion…Do your research and get others as well and make a fair decision….

Always great service.

Another great visit to Ray Frey Automotive. I have been bringing my GMC Jimmy here for the past eight years for periodic maintenance and service. Once again I was satisfied with the work done and the suggestions of whay needed to be addressed.

As always professional work and at a great price. It’s like having knowledgeable family working on your vehicle, thanks for keeping our daughter safe in her Explorer.

Excellent service, I’ll only go back to Rey Freys. They’re honest, reliable, quick, and easily the best service shop I’ve been to. From here on I’m a lifetime customer

Rays guys are professional and efficient. I know when I take my truck in I'll get an honest diagnosis. Ray never tries to upsell.

The previous owner of my 2000 F250 turbo diesel would take it the Rey Frey's. But I'm a first time customer. I needed some oil leaks fixed, along with the AC. They provided excellent customer service. And explained what needed to be done. They replaced my turbo and the oil lines. Along withe the pedestal gaskets. They also replaced the front main seal. I have no more leaks. And the AC was fixed without having to change the compressor. If you have received vauge quotes from other auto motive centers. And you want an honest evaluation. I highly recommend Rey Frey.
