Allen’s Wrench

I’ve been coming here for many years. Steve and Dennis serviced my Accord for its entire life (240,000 mi) and are the only people I trust with my Ridgeline. They are always spot-​on in diagnosing problems and on numerous occasions they have found ways to save me money without compromising safety or reliability.

I have been going to Allen’s Wrench for a few years now. My dad recommended me to them because he used to work at Pacific Honda.
They have always been able to accommodate me with in a reasonable amount of time and sometimes the day of.
I had known my breaks were getting bad but when I had driven my car the night before, I heard the metal break noise and didn’t feel safe driving my car. I called Steve first thing in the morning and he said unfortunately they were booked and wouldn’t be able to get me in until the next week. I told him about how bad it was and he told me to bring my car in anyways and they would try and get it done when they had some time. I took my car in at 9am and it was done by 2pm. I also got an oil change and a few filters changed. He gave me a great price and even a discount!
They have always been honest, reliable, fair and have always provided quick and amazing service. Thanks guys!

Brought in my car to have the A/​C recharged. The staff was friendly and helpful. I called ahead and they told me a good time to come in. When I arrived they took my car right back and worked quickly. They even changed out the relay fuse at no additional charge. Not to mention, their prices were lower than anywhere else I called. I’ll definitely return!

My husband and I have been coming to this place for years. What keeps us coming back? Their great personal interaction with the customer, honesty, prices and always wonderful service! We absolutely love this place! Thank you Allen’s Wrench for always taking care of us.

Easily the best and most trustworthy shop I’ve ever gone to — and they’re funny! :)

These men never take advantage of the fact I am a woman. If it’s nothing the don’t fix it, if my tires need to be rotated they do it. This is a great place for your car.

Dennis was professional and thorough. I would recommend this auto shop to anyone. They specialize in Honda/​Acura/​Mazda. Took a vehicle in that I was planning on purchasing from a private party and my main objective was to have a pre-​purchase inspection. Dennis took the time to inspect the vehicle and took it for a test drive. He was honest, fair, and i would highly recommend his service and experience!
Thank you Dennis & Staff at Allens Wrench !

I made an appointment with Allens Wrench after seeing all of the positive reviews on Unilocal.Well, it’s all true — they really are that good, and that friendly, and that helpful. I brought them a 2005 Acura TL that I bought for my son for them to inspect, check for safety, and perform any necessary maintenance. They were fantastic. Steve was very helpful, conscientious, and honest. They ended up performing what maintenance they felt was necessary, but put a few things off per my request so that we could stay within my budget. I’ll be going back there for anything we need done on my sons car — I could not imagine a better shop.
Steve, thanks for all your help, I’m sure you will hear from me again soon!

The Allens Wrench team went on a test drive, took a look at the problem I had with my car, and fixed it within the hour.
They ended up saving me several hundred dollars and educated me in the process. Great guys! Definitely worth making an appointment to get your car taken care of.
I’ve been here a few times and always a ⁵⁄₅ star experience.

This business is amazing. Hands down the best shop I’ve ever taken my car to. All the employees are amazing and incredibly helpful. They truly go above and beyond to take care of you and offer the best rates you can find. They are also incredibly knowledgeable. I’ll never take any of my cars to another shop. Thank you Allen’s wrenches! You guys are awesome

I don’t write reviews but this stood out to me. I read about Allen’s wrench on Unilocal so give it a try. My 2008 Nissan Pathfinder have been making pinging noises so I took it in to Allen’s wrench for an inspection. I was pleasantly surprised when they called me and said that there were no issues. They test drove it and ran complete diagnostics for me. When I went to pick it up they handed me the key and did not charge me. People just don’t do business like that anymore. I will be bringing my cars here for tune ups and repairs from now on.

Once more the best auto repair shop in the world! I came in without an appointment when they opened at 8 am and Steve was able to fit me in their busy schedule. There’s no words to explain how awesome they are!!!

Can’t do better than this place. Brought a Toyota Sienna in with a problem the TOYOTA CARLSBAD refused to diagnosed ($ 200 for refusal) They took on the problem and nailed it for a reasonable price. I am forever grateful.

This place is great! You feel like you can trust what they say because they explain everything in detail and treat you with respect. I would and have recommend to everyone.

Steve is amazing! I came here so worried about my car because it sounded like there was something wrong with the engine. Turns out, a place who had my car before didn’t put a cover where it should have been and that’s what was causing the noise! Steve offered to take a look at my fluid levels since I made the drive there and proceeded to wash my windshield for me because it was dirty! This place is amazing and although I didn’t get any services from there, I will be coming here in the future!

Had a check engine light that was coming on intermittently. Husband had codes read and determined what part needed to be replaced via Google. He called around for quotes and this place was the cheapest by far. Steve gave him a quote of $ 400. Husband had to work, and the repair needed to be done ASAP since it dealt with cooling the hybrid battery on my 05 Prius. So they agreed to squeeze us in to their busy and fully booked schedule. Told me to be there at 8 am and they could be done at 1 pm.
Here’s where this place rocks. I took it in without the hubby. They double checked the check engine light for free. Confirmed what part was needed, and gave me the final price $ 250, a $ 150 lower than the original quote they gave my husband! They could have told me $ 400 and I wouldn’t have thought twice about it, but since the repair was going to take less time than they originally thought. And they had me out by 9:45! Incredibly fast work, and a great price. And honesty that I’ve always felt was hard to come by at the mechanic. This will be my go to place from now on.

Specializes in Honda, Acura, Mazda.
Took our Honda in for service from some brake noise. A previous shop, Auto Tune & Lube in Oceanside, quoted me $ 350 to fix a front brake issue. Allen’s Wrench took a look and confirmed what I had found during my own diagnostics: the brakes were perfectly fine with minimal wear on rotors and pads for all wheels. However, the noise was apparently generated by a lack of lubricant that simply cuts down on vibration noise. They coated all brakes with the material for $ 80 inclusive of labor, tax, etc. Brake noise is gone!
Super friendly staff, on-​point when it came to timing for drop-​off and pick-​up, no BSing on unneeded repairs.
Will probably be my go-​to shop from now on for my Honda.
Thank you!

My new go to place when it comes car maintenance. When you come here please see Steve and he will give you a honest answer and no sales talk for job-​sense job that your dealer (car dealer) will tell you.
Steve just saved me $ 1200 bucks. Toyota quote me to fix strut, alignment, brakes, A/​C and other stuff for $ 1200 dollars and when Steve (+ his crew) checked my car. He says I only need is to change my break and he only charged me $ 40 bucks

I cannot stress how important it is to have a good mechanic. I am fortunate to have found this place!
Trustworthy staff and good work. Brought my car in last year due to a tire issue (unbeknownst to me) and I have continued to bring my car back ever since (for normal things like oil changes).

I love these guys. I can trust them and they are always willing to help out. Took my car in for the starter which went out, they had me on my way in no time for an extremely fair rate.
Thanks for all the great service guys!
