A&S Auto Care

Fast, courteous, honest, well priced quality work. I will be sending all of my friends and family here. Thanks for fixing my truck Angel!

Angel is great, been taking my cars there for 8 years. he is honest and even once told me to get rid of the car it was not worth repairing. this instead of making money on the repair. I have my wife and kids drop of the cars and he always takes good care of them!

Angel is the man. Super straightforward and explains everything he does in detail. I brought a really tough truck project in for him and he helped me out so much.
I’m looking forward to getting my new Land Cruiser in for service with him.

I found Angel and his guys at A&S Auto Care a couple of years ago here on Unilocal.So glad I did. They have done some work on my Infiniti, Hyundai and most recently an Expedition that had some major engine issues. Angel is very open and trustworthy. He tells you like it is and will advise the best way to repair the vehicle. Outstanding customer service. Highly recommend you have A&S check out your vehicle for repairs!

We were on a family vacation when the radiator cracked on our ’07 Mitsubishi. We literally broke down in front of A&S because we had to pull over to the curb as the car was beginning to overheat. Angel truly was our guardian angel. He fixed our radiator in one day and then called a few days later to see how the car was working.
When I got back to Phoenix, AZ, I told the Mitsubishi dealer about the radiator and he told me that there is a back-​order on radiators for that model and that I was lucky to get one. Angel gave us great service, a decent price and repaired the car quickly. I feel very grateful our car broke down in front of his shop. Thank you Angel!

Thank you Angel for taking great care of my Jag! I trust and appreciate your work on my baby.

Angel’s a very trustworthy guy who has worked on multiple cars for me for years. I can think of at least two times I thought I needed new brakes and he claimed I didn’t. Can’t think of any other mechanic that operates this way. He’s also reasonable — only charged me $ 198.

I can’t believe that it took me this long to Unilocal review! Angel at A & S runs a solid mechanic business. I was referred to him 10 years ago, and have remained a loyal customer ever since because not only is he one of those rare, hard to find honest mechanics, but he is very thorough. I drive alot for work — and Angel knows this — so he always makes sure that my car is running in top performance. I recently took my car in because I had a flat tire (I would rather give him my business than Discount Tires!) and while he was replacing my tire, he checked all the fluids just to make sure everything was up to par. Now why go anywhere else?!! Thank you Angel!!!

Angel and his team were fantastic dealing with my persnickty BMW. I’ve brought my car here multiple times from minor services to major problems and always know I’m getting the best price and a fast turnaround.
I would not trust anyone else with my car!

I took my car in here again to get an oil change and to have Angel check it out I see if anything else was wrong. I had to get my rotors replaced because my car had been shaking when I braked. It shakes no longer!
Angel is a very honest person and I know I can trust he won’t rip me off. Thank you Angel!

Worst Dishonest mechanic! Do not trust or deal with. Angel told me to have my vehicle towed to his shop and would have room for it I had already been stranded 2 days with it. So Angel had me sit another 2 days stranded lied to me said he changed his mind and began sending cursing message to my cell. I let him know I paid 500 for towing and he said «I dont give a fuck» I was shocked when he had his other two mexhanics get all beefy on me and push me back. Im a woman. I was so upset I cried when I got back to my car. I had been stranded since saturday and here it was wed at 5 and he then decides to screw me over making it impossible to find another mechanic and have it towed again quickly before friday.$ 500 bucks in tow lost to a mexhanic that did nothing is heartbreaking. I was battling tonsilitus at the time and had a fever so this was very hard on me. Another thing is HE REFUSES TO SIGN PAPERWORK OR MAKE PAPERWORK FOR ANY REPAIRS!!! this is a way to cover his own butt so he can play games then not have to fix anything by wasting your time or if he ever decided to fix anything and the work was messed up there is no paperwork no recourse. Please look elsewhere they are not even ASE certified.

Angel was sooo so awesome and a very honest man! Helped me out by giving me a ride and had my car done in the amount of time he said it would be done. Now she’s all fixed up! Thanks for such great hospitality! Def trustworthy and knowledgeable!
Thank you Angel for such great!!! I will def recommend you!

Angel stopped what he was doing with a shop jammed full of cars to come out and run a quick diagnostic for me when my check engine light had come on. No charge. I just needed a new gas cap. Very good at explaining whats wrong & what needs to be done or if something still has plenty of life, but you can just keep an eye on it. Ive had my brakes down to the rotors and another time needed all my struts replaced — both expensive repairs, and he did it for $ 2 – 350 less than what I was quoted elsewhere. And I feel secure that Im not being lied to, specific descriptions of whats broken and serious is really what’s wrong, especially when you weigh it against what youve just been told somewhere else. Other places you walk in and there’s a sales script, a sexy waiting room, they see you come in and its like you have the word sucker written across your forehead. I prefer independent shops like this. I get the sense that he helps people in need as well. I found him by accident when brake depot went out of business. Since he went independent, the place is always full. Hes doing people right, and hes getting the business to show for it. He deserves it!
Great smile too!
I usually go in and have all my maintenance stuff done at the same time, feeling like I got a lot of bang for my buck & Ill be good to go for a long while after that.

I highly recommend A&S Auto Care and definitely would go back there the next time my car acts up.
The Mazda dealer wanted to charge me $ 300 bucks to even look at my car, before even giving it a tune up.
A&S was able to diagnose and fix the problem with in a day. It was a hose that had dry rotted.

these guys are the greatest. they get the job done on time and at a very reasonable price. I wouldn’t take my aging Subaru anywhere else!

I go to A&S for everything I need for my car. It’s always less than half the cost of the dealership and not pushy at all. Quality work for low prices. Ill never go anywhere else.

Not only is Angel a really nice guy but he’s really ethical as well! The dealer was going to charge me double what he would charge. I’ve referred a couple clients to him and he took excellent care of them as well. Look no further than A & S Auto Repair… you will not be disappointed! Another bonus… if you work or live near by they will get you where you need to go.

I recommend everyone I know go see Angel for any of your car needs. He’s an honest guy who will drop everything to answer your questions and explain technical aspects. My dad, who lives 8 hours away now, has always been my go-​to car guy. I’m SO thrilled to have found Angel and his staff in San Diego, and overall a shop I know I can really trust to do affordable work for me now that dad can’t change my timing belts etc for me anymore!
Angel is a car master! Took my 2001 Honda Civic EX «Cindy» to him when the battery was dying constantly and other garages told me to just replace it… I did… the new one died– no refunds from the shop who took no ownership of their ‘handiwork’. I had talked to a number of mechanics about the odd happenings of the car dying, and each of them had their own theory, and wanted to charge a couple hundred just to pop the hood.
Angel really took his time looking over the car from bumper to bumper, rather than just glancing at it like the other shops. He had a hunch it could be the alternator, so put a brand new one in and let me drive it for a week. He offered me this option to save me money on running a full diagnostic on the car, and I said «let’s try it». The battery died again, so Angel put my alternator back in and didn’t ever charge me for the other one… or for the labor!
Angel spent the week looking over the car and found a faulty AC relay that was stuck in the ‘on’ position because of a glitch in the main computer. Angel tracked down a quality refurb’d computer and replaced my old computer and the faulty relay.
When I got «Cindy» back, Angel told me to drive it a few months and that if somehow this wasn’t the right fix, he wouldn’t charge me for the new computer, and he’d try again. Well, the computer works EXCELLENTLY!
I thought my husband had gone back to pay Angel, and he thought vice versa, so it was about 8 months later that we realized neither of us had gone back. When we walked back into the garage, Angel was all smiles and recalled everything about the car. We sheepishly apologized for not coming back sooner, and his response: «It’s OK. How’s the car?» We of course told him it was running better than ever, and we settled our bill (which was under $ 300 total)!!! I can’t begin to think how much $$ I saved by going to Angel, hundreds at least.

just took my car down to these guys today — they saved me over $ 250 from what the dealer quoted me!
Only concern is that my e-​brake seems a little funny now — and I drive standard, so yes, I always use my e-​brake.

A&S Garage is Angel and Steve. These guys are a winning combination. Angel has been providing services that are making a difference in the auto repair industry here in San Diego for years. His staff is knowledgeable and courteous as well as businesslike.
I take my work truck to Angel for everything. I can trust in the fact that he will always return my truck repaired correctly the first time! His shop is prompt and the variety of services provided is impressive.
The AC went out on my truck this summer and I took it to another shop. It went back twice before I decided to just let Angel take care of it. Later that afternoon he got it fixed and was able to warranty my defective AC from another shop.
Associates ask me where I take my vehicles for service and repair because they see that my trucks are running great. In construction we cannot go without our trucks for very long. In other trades it is the same way. Everyone needs a good trustworthy and reliable mechanic to help them with car problems.
Let Angel earn your business and see for yourself.
Thanks A&S Garage! You guys are fantastico!
