I highly recommend Advantec Auto Repair. I have gone to them for several years now and have always had great service! After a recent brake service, my hand control device malfunctioned. The owner, Bob, has such high integrity that he paid for a replacement of my device at a high cost to his shop. If you want an honest, customer service oriented mechanic, look no further.

I’ve been taking my car here for oil changes and other services, and they have always been honest and transparent. They explain everything clearly, never push unnecessary repairs, and ensure I feel confident about the work being done. If you’re looking for reliable, straightforward service with no surprises, I highly recommend.

I stopped in this morning for help diagnosing an error code on my SUV and was so impressed with the service, I’ll now be back for all my automotive needs. Bob is extremely knowledgeable and honest and gave excellent service, even when my car needed a jump in the parking lot he was there with his battery pack ready to help! Love having a reputable shop nearby, highly recommend.

Thank you for such amazing service! I was on my way out of town when my car acted up. Being from out of town, found this spot on google based on reviews and they didn’t disappoint. They were honest, fair, helpful, and just amazing group of people. So grateful for them.

I recently popped into this shop for a quick repair and was happy I did. They were quick, knowledgeable, and reasonable with price. I’d recommend setting an appointment and swinging through this shop for a repair if needed.

Took my old Toyota in cause the check engine light kept coming on and it was running rough. I’m not too car-smart but they explained everything in simple terms and didn’t try to scare me with a huge list of problems like some other shops I’ve been to. They figured out it was just a bad sensor and got it replaced the same day. Honest pricing, no pressure, and the car’s been running smooth ever since. I liked that they didn’t make me feel dumb for asking questions. Only thing is the waiting area could use a bit of cleaning but that’s not a big deal. At least they got the job done right and quick. It’s hard finding good trustworthy mechanics nowdays, so I’m glad I found these guys. Will def bring my car back if I need more work.

Super friendly. Easy scheduling. And the price seems fair for the little work I needed done. Thanks y’all.

I started taking my car to Advantec about seven years ago when my Honda Civic needed a major repair and another local shop gave me a ridiculous estimate and tried to scare me into not driving away. The guys at Advantec do not upsell or recommend unneeded repairs or maintenance. They are honest, which is a rarity these days. After 12 years with my old car, I’m now bringing my CRV Hybrid to them and getting the same great service!

Got an oil change and alignment for my old Volvo wagon. Went on a beautiful run through the local area while I waited. Great service and everyone here seemed very friendly. I'll be back! I love Auto Tech El Cajon but when they are busy, I'm glad to have found a backup! Thank you!

I have been a customer at Advantec since I first moved to San Diego almost 10 years ago. The customer service and professionalism here in unmatched, especially in an industry that can often feel a little daunting for someone like me who doesn't know much about cars or pricing on jobs. The guys there always take the time to explain the recommendations and repairs to me, along with pricing and how it all works. This is a mechanic shop that you don't need to feel worried about being swindled or overpriced. They are consistent, reliable, friendly and professional. I won't be going anywhere else and couldn't recommend Advantec more!
