What our customers say
Verified five-star reviews from drivers across Escondido and North County San Diego.
"I recently took my BMW to Cali Car Care for a brake fluid service, and I couldn't be happier. Alex was professional, upfront, and honest about pricing — significantly better than other shops with no hidden fees. My appointment was at 9:00 AM and they were ready for me immediately. The service was completed quickly and the waiting area was clean and comfortable. If you're looking for a trustworthy shop with fair pricing and quality work, I highly recommend Cali Car Care."
"Highly recommend Alex! Serviced our minivan with a brake fluid flush and exchange — saved 60% from what the dealership would've charged us. Will be a repeat customer. Thanks again!"
"I've had Alex work on my Toyota Prius several times and every experience has been excellent. He repaired my A/C system, replaced the brake booster assembly, and replaced the ball joints — all completed professionally. What impressed me most was the combination of quality and price. Alex does honest, high-quality work at very reasonable rates. He takes the time to explain repairs and never tries to sell unnecessary services."
