Jorge Alonso Auto Repair is hands down the best mechanic I’ve ever been to. We have been bringing our cars to him for a few years now. He is upfront and honest about what repairs are a priority, and what can wait. He provides pictures and thorough explanations of what’s going on.I had an emergency yesterday, where I had trouble starting my car after storing it. The engine light was on, and I was concerned because I had to drive a long distance that same evening to pick up my husband returning from deployment. The pressure was on!Marlene in the front office, who’s always funny and helpful, looked into which loaner cars were returning. She even went out of her way to check in with a customer to see what time they anticipated dropping theirs off.I didn’t end up needing the loaner, because Jorge was generous and squeezed me in to check out the car. Thankfully it was a “best case scenario” with a simple fix and I was able to take the car with me that same day.A very, very stressful situation was made easier by the kindness, quick work, and professionalism at Jorge Alonso Auto Repair.

Had to get a significant brake repair job. Jorge and his reliable team diligently assessed my cars disrepairs, as well as other concerns during the thorough inspection. He broke down the estimate in an explicit, detailed, and meticulous manner. His prices really seemed fair, but his professionalism and reliability are frankly, unmatched. Thank you!Dakota F.

I was very happy with my experience at Jorge Alonso Auto Repair. They were accommodating to my schedule, and they were friendly and welcoming. They will send you a link to your vehicle inspection report so you can see a comprehensive breakdown with photos attached. They provide a loaner car at no additional cost (just refill the gas). I recommend them to anyone who dreads going to the mechanic.

Great shop! Love the video report and attention to detail. Ive got a bunch of cars and trust Jorge to take good care of them. Its not always easy to find an honest and reliable mechanic, keep it local and go see Jorge and crew!

My car, a 2005 Toyota, was experiencing a few issues but I had not expected them to be as bad as they were. Jorge and his team did an amazing job. My car runs much smoother, quieter, and gets better gas mileage! I also had a time crunch as I am going on a long road trip for a new job. They worked very quickly and kept me updated every step of the way. If I was still in the area, I would without a doubt be coming back here. Thank you for everything!

I came here for the first time recently to have several repairs done on my car. The first thing I noticed was the great customer service. Marlene was friendly and did a great job of helping me. What really separated this shop from any other is this…The handle on the inside of my door on the drivers side was broken off for awhile and while making the repairs on my car Jorge took it upon himself to order one for me and install it free of charge! This was a very kind gesture and it really says a lot about the kind of person he is. I will now ALWAYS be taking my car here for anything I need 😊👍🏼.

The entire team was kind, professional, communicative, quality, and very fair. I took my truck in for an engine light diagnosis, and now I’m going to be a regular customer. The team is extremely communicative and the prices are extremely fair. I’d say I found an honest mechanic! Thanks for the great work everyone!

Absolutely professional and very detailed with work. Ive taken vehicles to many other repair shops, and I always ask them to show me what is wrong. I did not even have to ask Jorge, he recorded a video and went beyond my expectations. Gained my trust right away. I highly recommend Jorge Alonso Auto Repair.

I cannot speak more highly of this place and its people! From reception to getting my car back, I knew where it was in the process at every step. I loved the text and email updates but especially when Jorge called to discuss my vehicle. Gave detailed by-the-book descriptions of what was wrong, but also then explained what was happening in an easy to digest manner. Didnt try to convince me to replace the entire car, like some places will and the price and timing of service from start to finish were good. I have my new mechanic!

Jorge Alonso Auto Repair is the only place that I will ever take my truck to. Very professional work, fair price, very trustworthy and they can handle anything that needs repair. I have been going there for 5 years, even though I have moved out to Valley Center, I still drive down to Jorge even for a oil change.Best place to take your truck or car Period!!

I keep telling my husband, that this was my BEST car repair experience in all my lives Fe of car services.

New in town and my 2021 Nissan Rogue needed an oil change after a cross-country drive. Called around 4pm; Jorge set an appointment up for me the very next day. After dropping my car off the next day, in less than 10 minutes I was already getting text messages from the shop regarding the status of car. Jorge Alonso Auto Repair not only did an excellent job on my car, its staff also provided excellent customer service! Special thank you to Marlene. Highly recommended!

Jorge went out of his way to repair our rusted fuel lines on our 2003 Silverado, finding the last set in a warehouse on the other side of the country. We were in a huge time crunch, as we were moving 4 days after we found the fuel leak, and Jorge made sure the repairs were completed in time for us to get on the road. He is amazing at communication, and we got text updates with details, pictures, estimates, and repair completions regularly. I I wish we would have found him before our last week in Oceanside!

Review №26

I reached out to J.A. Auto Repair when I was searching for someone to do a pre-purchase inspection on an older car I was interested in buying from a private party as my teenage sons first car. Not only do I want to make sure my kid drives a safe vehicle, but also being on a limited budget I dont want to invest in a lemon and that is why INSPECTIONS ARE PARAMOUNT.Marlene is a great receptionist/assistant, very personable, and Jorge was equally relatable on the phone and very helpful in setting up an appointment that worked for both the seller and me. I wanted a classic inspection plus a compression test. The car was put on a lift and shortly thereafter Jorge called me over to show me his first findings. He pointed out some major issues and several massive red flags, which I would not have suspected since none of it was readily apparent with a basic visual inspection on the street, the car felt great on a test drive, and it had passed smog less than a month prior. Jorge could have gone through the whole inspection before talking to me and charged me for a compression test, but instead he showed me the issues right away and told me that there was no point in doing a compression test and that he couldnt let me buy that car already as it was (not that I would have at that point). He even handled the car owner who was not very happy with being told that his car was a dud and insisted that none of the issues were that bad. Then Jorge also gave me a discount on the inspection. With my budget and knowing that I am going to have to go through this again until I actually find a car worth buying, that was very much appreciated.Did I say Marlene is great? She is both professional and great for casual banter while waiting around for services to be performed. I had a pretty fun time at the mechanics isnt exactly a sentence I expected to utter, especially when I got bad news while there. Anyway, all this to say that I am now keeping an eye out specifically for vehicles for sale within a 15 minutes radius from J.A. Auto Repair so that I can get any further inspections done there. I trust Jorge and his team to be honest with me and act in my best interest, and they are great people to be around, so they definitely have my business anytime I need a mechanic in that area. Jorge even said he would give me a call if he got a lead on a car that he felt was worth buying within my budget. All around great place, great people, great experience.Go there.

I found Jorge Alonso online as I am new to the area...and now I know why they have so many 5 star reviews!! Jorge handles the coordination and inspection of the repairs himself, and takes great pride in his company. Cathy and Marlene in the office are courteous and professional...so nice to deal with.My car was repaired when promised, and the charges were very reasonable. I have already recommended Jorge Alonso Auto Repairs to my new neighbors! Thank you Jorge for being an honest and faithful business in my new community! Tina B, Oceanside, Ca

Jorge and staff are always there to help you out! You can tell that they all enjoy what they do. You feel it from the greeting on the phone when making the appointment to bringing in your vehicle to drop it off.

They take the time to communicate to you and have you understand what they are doing to your vehicle.I have found a mechanic that we can trust with all of our vehicles.Jorge is an honest mechanic that takes the time to say a quick hello and ask how you are doing.I really really enjoy Jorge and his team! you always feel like you are very important to them!Thank you for always taking care of us!

Awesome mechanic with a very fine attention to detail. Personable owner and excellent prices. They make sure you understand what may be wrong with your vehicle, give a complete rundown of what looks good or needs to be fixed, and even take pictures as proof. I was able to get a same day appointment with no fuss and they completed a brake job and oil change promptly. I certainly will continue to have all of my car work done by Jorge Alonso.

Absolutely the best mechanic I have ever gone to. Most knowledgeable, excellent diagnostic work, fair pricing, and fast. Identified a clogged line in my a/c system after 2 other mechanics just charged the system with freon and called it good. Friendly with great customer service, text updates on how my truck was doing. I dont normally write reviews but he is worth it.

I scheduled an appointment for an easy headlight replacement. I was able to get in the following morning and the entire process was under an hour. Business was efficient, professional, courteous, and reasonably priced. It was more convenient to have them take care of my headlight than me doing it by myself. Thanks !

Review №36

The customer service and honesty from Jorge is just amazing! The team makes you feel valued, and are they experts at what they do. Jorge gave my car a full inspection, and prioritized immediate concerns, as well as letting me know other issues with my car were not worth the investment given it’s age and mileage. The fact that he didn’t try to up-sell me on unnecessary repairs was beyond refreshing. Highly recommend his services!

A good friend of mine referred me to Jorge Alonso Auto Repair so I took my Chevrolet Camaro there for an oil change and tire rotation and was so impressed with Marlene at the front desk who gave me the details that I would be getting text messages and emails on each step of the car repair process. I dont think that any other car repair shops do this. I also received an in depth PDF report on the repairs made and other important observations about the care - including a non-urgent oil leak and a chip in the windshield that I had no idea about! The report included pictures and video as well. That was awesome. I also liked the option of having a free rental car for a day so that I didnt have to get a ride or call a rideshare. What a great service! Communication was great and Jorge Alonso and the team did a great job on my car. I will definitely be back with my other vehicle soon. Thank you!

HOW DO YOU CHARGE 150$ just to throw the reader on my car and check my check engine light? I get that you have to make sure the code that was read from autozone THAT I GOT FOR FREE is correct, but that’s taking advantage of people and absolutely insane. A girl answers the phone so it’s not like I could have asked many questions anyways.

Review №44

Jorge and his staff are the friendliest staff I’ve ever interacted with in an auto shop. First, you get photos with your estimate (which is actually accurate when the mechanic is done). Second, they will offer you loaner cars for local commuting and your only responsibility is to fill the tank up when you’re done. Third, they give an accurate time frame. Lastly, Jorge will call you after the estimate and you get updates via text and email as your car goes from estimate to completed. This is a local business that is family run, but the quality of work was honestly better than dealership quality. If I could give 6 starts I would. Will use again. Will recommend!KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!

Timely and thorough inspection and repair.Was open and honest about not doing a complicated transmission repair at his shop after identifying where a leak was coming from in the transmission (did recommend dedicated transmission shops in the area).

Your shop proved you work in integrity! Super rare to find in the automotive repair world. Not to mention the reduction in the diagnostic fee to real time spent in resolving the issue - wow I’m impressed with the grace you conduct your business by. I will be bringing all of my family cars and trucks to you and your crew. Way to go, you have a customer for life - THANK YOU ALL!!!

Excellent quality of work. Has given me written records of every repair with pictures of issues for my own records, and works well within a budget. All staff are friendly and the turnaround for most repairs is within a couple days. Ive had him take care of three different vehicles with more than satisfactory work done to all. I cannot find, and dont want to find, a better mechanics shop than the one Jorge runs alongside his technicians.

A true five star experience. Moved to Oceanside a year ago and needed a new mechanic. I saw that Jorge had excellent reviews on Yelp, so I brought my 2000 Jag XK8 to him explaining it needed a lot of work since its old and has been in storage for two years. Jorge took on the challenge and was fair on pricing, provided ongoing updates via texts, emails, and photos of the repairs (a personalized touch), and thoroughly explained the repairs along the way. When I picked up my car, it was sanitized on the inside, there was a personalized thank you note, and a bag of candy. What more do you need, go see this guy.

Review №55

I went to Alonsos with a car that had electrical problems, the battery would fully drain if I didnt drive it everyday. Jorge and his mechanic tested all the fuses and found a circuit that had a vampire drain on the system. After tracing all components they were able to find the faulty XM Sirious radio device that I did not use. It was causing the drain! Im impressed! Since I didnt use it, we disconnected it because a replacement would be very expensive. They also replaced a noisy wheel bearing and my car is running great, starts up in the morning and no more rumble noise from the bad bearing.Additional Notes: They take photos of all the parts and problems and text you all results. They wait for your approval to proceed. This is the shop I will always take my vehicles from now on!Thank you so much to Alonsos Auto team!Top notch service!

Jorge is great, explains what hes doing thoroughly and works to get things done the right way, rather than putting work in just to charge you for it. I brought my Subaru in after it started overheating, and he insisted on performing the appropriate checks rather than just flush the coolant. Turned out I had a faulty head gasket and I could have spent a ton of money patching the problem without knowing that it was headed down failure lane. Highly recommend this shop if you want to get your problem dealt with decisively.

Jorge is amazing! I would recommend him to anyone who is having any sort of car problems. He is honest, reliable, and actually cares about his customers and their vehicles. My car kept having problems and every other mechanic kept giving me the run around and over charging for mediocre work. I took it to Jorge and I finally received the answer of what was wrong. When my car starting acting up again recently, he was honest with me about it being a lost cause. I will always appreciate his honesty and hard work. If you have ANY car trouble, don’t bother going to anyone else!

Within minutes after my Audio A4 was towed to Jorge Alonso Auto Repair, Jorge and one of his technicians identified multiple issues with my car. Jorge followed up with me through text, phone, email, explaining what they had completed and what still needed to be done. I was informed throughout the repair and the car repairs were completed on time as promised. My Audi runs better than ever. I am more than satisfied with the repairs and the cost of the repairs.Update: I had an unknown mechanical issue with my Pontiac G8 GT. Jorges technician quickly identified the main problem, and after a thorough inspection, identified several other issues that needed attention, as well another issue that needed immediate attention. Jorge ordered the needed parts and one of his technicians made the repairs. I am again completely satisfied with the service. My G8 is again running at a high performance level.

I noticed my A/C wasn’t working well in my car, after being ripped off badly by another local body shop I happen to read some reviews about Jorge’s shop. Very pleased with what I had read I booked an appointment to have them look at my car. They couldn’t fix the A/C problem and said I should take it to Honda because the issue might be covered under warranty since my car was fairly new. I loved the honesty within the shop and the friendly family vibe. Since that time they are where I go to get my oil changes. They have a reminder email that goes out too incase life gets too crazy and you forget when your car should be serviced.

Hands down the best shop that Ive taken my vehicle to in North County. I have a 2011 Dodge Challenger RT that took in some water during the February 2020 rains. Jorge and Marlene were super responsive. My vehicle was dropped off at the shop and they hooked me up with a rental while they took care of the engine issues. Im the kind of guy that needs to see evidence and number that indicate to me what issues my vehicle is having. Jorge will take the time to explain the vehicle mechanics and provide a best solution rather than a cost-effective one that will mean more mechanic work down the road. I always get a sense of trustworthiness, confidence, and sincerity when Im speaking to Jorge and his team.

Wonderful! Honest! Kind! We went to fix my dads 1997 ford and we were visiting Oceanside so his regular mechanic wasn’t here. Jorge was personable and honest! We went to another place near by and they lied completely about a huge part that was needed and wanted to charge 600 and Jorge said that wasn’t even needed. He broke down the details and even wiped down the car after for COVID safety! Marleen was also very sweet! Please support his business!

Taking my car to Jorge, was due to a close friend’s recommendation. I’m so grateful that I took her advice. Jorge and his staff are incredible. They’re attentive, professional AND trustworthy. Yes, ladies you can feel comfortable taking your vehicle into Jorge’s Repair shop because you WILL be treated fairly and with respect. Jorge and his staff are honorable. I received text messages during the day with updates on the progress! Can you imagine that? I was surprised and pleased to know that they tackled the issue efficiently and effectively! So... if your vehicle..regardless if it’s a regular or hybrid, needs attention.. please, just do yourself a favor, and just take it directly to Jorge! His services are not only instant peace of mind; they’re incredibly affordable!I’m definitely recommending Jorge to everyone I know!!!

Jorge is super knowledgeable guy who did exactly what he said he was going to do and ahead of schedule. During the initial repairs he uncovered other problems, where he immediately sent me a video of the bad parts, explained and was again super fair on the prices he charged. He then had the truck smogged for me so I didn’t have to make another stop. I will be taking my diesel truck to him from now on.

Took a truck we were in the process of purchasing to Jorge. He and his team did a thorough inspection and gave me a detailed report so I knew exactly what type of truck I was getting and what items I need to get fixed before purchasing. Jorge is very knowledgeable and friendly. Very happy we found him and now have a place to get my Ram 2500 serviced at.

Great customer service and communication! They let you know exactly what they are doing to your vehicle through text, which makes communicating with them easy. This was the best experience I’ve had with any auto shop I’ve ever been to! Highly recommend!

I found Jorge Alonso through a Yelp search as it was conveniently located to my work. I know I needed new breaks going in. The staff was incredibly friendly and courteous the entire process from making an appointment to picking up your car. I absolutely LOVED how they sent text message updates of the process and photos from your car of what needed to be fixed. It was incredibly helpful for me as a non car person. Jorge also caught a mistake another auto body shop did about a year ago when I paid a fortune for a set of front breaks that were installed incorrectly. I was able to take that photo Jorge sent me and send it to the other shop, who has now since issued a check refunding the amount needed to fix the problem. Every touch by Jorge and his team was personalized. My 3 yo daughter in particular loved the little bag of candy and handwritten note they left on the dash as a thank you. It was an incredible experience and I would recommend it to anyone!

(Steve Haubner) On vacation with car trouble! No problem with Jorge and team. My wife found the shop on Google with highest ratings, so I called. He got us in the next day and worked with me to give the car the best chance of getting back home for the dealer warranty. He provided a free loaner car and took Great care of us. His service manager, Marlene was also extremely helpful: 6 out 5 - EXCELLENT help and partnership - all with a warm, friendly smile!

They gave a vivid description of everything they were doing so I knew exactly what I was paying for. Reasonably priced and a posItive atmosphere to the point that I’d use the same shop again. Runs like a dream highly recommended.

I let people I trust work on my vehicles, Jorge Alonso Auto Repair shop is the only place that I will let work on my cars. Straight forward and honest. I would recommend to anyone! 5 stars is as high as you can rate but I would give them 6 STARS if I could. Happy with their services.😁

I am so glad I found Jorge’s auto repair. He explained what air conditioning testing was in detail, and showed me the results of the test. Others did not explain and could have taken advantage of me. Confidence in your mechanic is so important for peace of mind. Thank You Jorge👍

Very thorough in diagnostic evaluation with damaged engine. Video on all steps of the process with complete explanation. They responded very quickly with my car issue. I will be using them in the future.

JA Auto repair was such a delight to deal with! I called around the Oceanside/Carlsbad area to get quotes to replace my alternator and Jorge was the best person I had dealt with over the phone. Prices were comparable to other shops I had called but customer service goes a LONG way! I decided to go with them just because he was so nice over the phone (unlike a top ranking Carlsbad repair shop). Car was fixed within a matter of hours and when I got in my car there was a little bag of candies waiting for me. It’s really the little things that help small businesses go a long way. Will definitely be back if my car needs anything else :)
