Inter Auto Repair

Once again Javier did an outstanding job on a different vehicle. I took my 2001 dodge voyager to him because there was an issue with the evap system and it was due for smog. After trouble shooting it he was able to find an issue that he repaired. A week later the check engine light came back on and I took it back to him. He worked his magic and it passed. He is an outstanding mechanic. I will continue to be one of his loyal customers.

I just want to start off by saying that I don’t usually write reviews but my experience here has been so good that I feel the need to write this one. If you want honest work done at a reasonable price, talk to Javier. Inter Auto Repair has taken care of me numerous times on various jobs for my BMW 335i. No fooling around, no mickey mouse jobs, reasonably fast service, and probably the best price you’ll get in the Escondido area.
I initially heard about Javier from my brother who takes his cars to him. Javier told me how much everything was going to cost upfront with no hidden costs. He only recommended what was needed and didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. I’m pretty mechanically inclined so I can tell if someone is trying to up-​sell something. Javier doesn’t play that game. If he recommends something, you probably need it.
I was at Inter Auto today for a complete A/​C vacuum and recharge on my BMW and Javier had me in and out in less than 30 minutes even though there were other cars in the shop. Out of curiosity I called a German auto repair shop in the area to see what they charge for this service and I found out that I paid 60% less by going to Inter Auto. The service is exactly the same. The A/​C is blowing ice cold air and no leaks.
I don’t want to drag this on for too long. Go to Inter Auto for your car needs. You won’t be disappointed.

I actually signed up with Unilocal just so I could review Inter Auto Repair. I used Unilocal to find this business and I wasn’t disappointed. I needed a timing belt for my vehicle and I knew this would be an expensive service. Javier carefully explained every expense and told me that the price could increase if he found items that needed repair once the engine was pulled apart. I completely expected that he would find other items to repair, as most mechanics do, and that he would drive the cost up. I was pleasantly surprised to get a phone call from Javier saying that everything looked good and there would be no additional costs. In an industry where trust is everything, he earned it very quickly. The service was completed in about half a day and my car is running great. I would highly recommend Inter Auto.

Javier is always extremely honest and fair. He does not sell you a bigger repair than you need. I drive down from Fallbrook because I trust him so much. He’s done numerous repairs for me, including recent replacement rotors and brakes. His worker even drove me to Coco’s so I could have breakfast and work on my laptop while I waited!

Javier was honest with me and able to expedite my repairs to my Silverado truck. Tune-​up, Water pump, all belts, all hoses, Rear brakes, e-​brake. Honesty is key to a mysterious industry in which people do get ripped off. I highly recommend Javier and team at Inter Auto Repair

Great shop. I have a small company and these guys help keep my trucks on the road. They provide fair pricing and excellent service. Will be back again.

My truck was leaking fuel badly and required a fuel pump replacement. Javier researched the best part for it at a fair price. He replaced it within a reasonable time at a good price. Very friendly, honest and great customer service.

This shop is fantastic! Javier was great and was very helpful in helping me figure how what the problem was with my cat and fixing it very quickly and at a reasonable price. I will definitely be bringing my car back and recommending this place

Took my Ford Edge to Inter Auto Repair based on the Unilocal reviews here, and couldn’t be happier so far. System had A/​C troubles (compressor oil spewed from underneath vehicle) and I was preparing for the worst after «help» from online forums and the local AutoZone «A/​C Guru». Not such a guru, because I was in and out of Inter Auto in less than 90 minutes with a working A/​C again, avoiding parts replacements. Now that’s honesty, when a shop knows they can get away with far greater expenses to the customer by saying the compressor went out, etc, but is honest instead.

Javier made my Labor day weekend! My car broke down on the way to Escondido. I looked up auto repair shops on Unilocal during my ride in the tow truck. Other shops were unable to get the part until Tuesday in addtion they were charging at least $ 100 more than Inter Auto Repair. I called to see if he could get the part and had time to do the work, he said yes so I had the tow truck drive me to his shop. The part arrived as the tow truck was dropping off my car. The work was done not only the same day but within two hours!!! I was able to continue my trip to see my family for the weekend!
Javier was very professional and completed the work just as he promised, awesome!

US Marine with a very honest review.
I found Inter Auto on Unilocal after a HORRIBLE experience with Army Mechanics. Called and got a quote to replace a bad engine on my Ford Edge. Javier was very polite and we even spoke about the importance of customer service in this business. He made me feel very comfortable getting my repairs there.
Had the engine shipped to Inter Auto repair and my Edge towed in on a Thursday. He called me during the repairs to request I get a few seals and gaskets which I was happy to do. Wednesday my SUV was ready for pickup.
This has by far been the easiest repair in terms of setup and coordination I have ever had. I was only charged what he quoted and my Ford Edge is now back on the road like new.
At first glance it was a small shop I probably would not have looked twice at, but the quality of service they are able to offer because they are small is amazing. This is truly a place to take your vehicle if you are in need. Will be back again!

Went there to fix my Audi A4. Javier was very cool and his prices were good. I didn’t have to wait a day to get my car back, he was finished in a couple hours. Will be bringing all my cars here fret from now on.

Great service, very friendly and reasonably priced. I needed some brakes fixed bad and Javier had it done in 4 hours! He also gave recommendations for work that needed to be done AFTER I picked up my car so I didn’t feel the pressure of tacking on more repairs. Highly recommend.

Javier has worked on all of my family’s vehicles. He is very professional, friendly and very accommodating. Repairs are completed in a timely fashion and with integrity. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer this shop to anyone.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. I get honest advice and amazing work on my vehicle. There is clearly pride in this company for customer service and great work. Javier is polite, professional, and gets the job done. Plus he offers great advice and communication about the situation and your choices. What more could you ask for???

I have been going to Javier for four years now and every time it has been on short notice and every time he is accommodating and completes major repairs in a hurry. He is our family mechanic and I have referred friends to him and all of them have nothing but good things to say about him. I have no reservations referring him to anyone!

I was taking my 2007 Tundra 4×4 to Toyota of Escondido for the last two years. Lets say there service and technicians are not the best. I will no longer take my Toyota to the dealership since I found Inter Auto Repair. I was able to speak with Javier and he was able to get me in today on short notice. Just need an oil change today but I am looking forward to building a relationship with Javier and Inter Auto Repair.

Brought my Grand Cherokee in for a radiator replacement. A mechanic myself, I just didn’t have the time or a garage at home, but I do have overtime to help pay someone to do the work. The swap was done on short notice and I had my Jeep back the next day. A month later, my wife’s Toyota needed the brake rotors milled down, and they completed the work in short time and both vehicles are running great! If you’re in or around Escondido, Inter Auto Repair is where you should go for car trouble!

Glad I checked out Unilocal and read the reviews before getting my vehicle’s AC system checked out. Javier at Inter Auto is the best! Got me in the next morning, checked my SUV, gave me an honest, fair estimate & made the repairs that same day. I will highly recommend Javier to all my friends, and will be bringing back my vehicles when they need repairs.

Came here for a Smog Check it was very easy to deal with the owner Javier.
I will recommend every one I can to him
