Needed to get a full engine diag and some welding work done on my Honda. They were super helpful and speedy with fixing my car and I will definitely be coming back on future repairs!

My chevy camper is 25 years old. These guys did brakes, plugs w/wires, best money ever !!! big block 454 runs great! I am old school gear head and to fat to do the work my self. Should get another 25 years from the 3500 class C camper. Took a little extra time to get it done, worth it. Ocean Beach this week-end, fresh sea air! THANK YOU Gator great job.

Excellent experience with the Lee and the crew at Automotive Specialties! Before driving my RV cross country, I brought it in for a general inspection and routine maintenance…Each person I encountered was personable and professional…Lee, Gator, Bobby, Tanner, Dana and I might’ve forgot someone…Thank you for providing a great service and making my RV as safe as possible for my trip!

Stellar automotive repair shop. Knowledgeable, honest and high level of integrity. We are so happy to have found them. Have taken two cars, a truck and an RV in for service. Lee and Gator are super duper! Receptionist is sweet. Very cool little waiting room. Wish more businesses had ethics like theirs! :) Thank you Automotive Specialists!

Had a problem with my exhaust brake on my RV. Lee is a straight shooter and reasonable. Trustworthy from the beginning. Nice to see a fellow self employed business man with integrity who operates like we do. I will definitely be back when I have mechanical issues with any of my several vehicles or race car. He even offered my son and I are ride because he knew we were broke down all night in the RV . Great guy and good business ethics!! Thanks Lee!!!!

My Dodge Journey's engine light started flickering while I was on the 215. Then it started shaking and slowing down. Naturally, I panicked. Had it towed to Automotive Specialist, "whom my friend Rita recommended, she's been going to them for over 20 years." I decided to call and explain my situation. They responded "Sure bring it in". Within a few hours I was on the road again. I couldn't believe my ears when I got the call saying I could pick it up. It was a coil replacement. I was thinking this is it, My Journey is done. No, I was on the road. So reasonably charged. I've decided these guys will be my mechanics from now on. Lee & Gator, I even remember their names

Traveling full-time in our 5th wheel and needing some work done on our Ram 3500 truck, a family member recommended I give Lee a call. I am so glad I did. From the moment I got there to the time I left, I felt like I have known them for years. I was more than pleased with the work that was done. Very pleased with the price. I highly recommend Automotive Specialties. Thanks again. Keith Ortloff

We love this place! We only ever go here for our sick cars and Lee definitely knows how to treat them! We're thinking of moving out of state soon, and literally we want to clone him and bring him with us incase of emergency 🤣

I had an appointment with automotive specialties March 24th. I called automotive specialties the day before to confirm my appointment and they said that my appointment was on the 23rd even though I know I made an appointment on the 24th. When I made the appointment originally they told me they wanted me to get there early in the morning so they could get an early start on my RV. I had a problem with my RV dash air conditioner, the fan was not working. So, in order to get to there early I stayed overnight in a local campground for $64. When I arrived about 8 in the morning, I spoke to Gator who was not friendly. It was after about 20 minutes of waiting that I, finally, got to talk to Lee. Lee told me that the reason that he wanted me there so early was so that I could get a parking space. The only parking spaces they had was across the street in a diesel fill area. I expected them to start working on the RV right away, but as it turned out they didn’t start on the RV for at least 3 or 4 hours. Signs on their window say complete specialists. Complete means like they can fix any problems. When I realized later that they were not going to start on my RV until hours later, I asked Lee about that and he told me that he wished that I had never made an appointment at all. By the end of the day, about 4:30, they had fixed a windshield wiper problem, but had no clue how to fix the dash air fan. The entire day was wasted and I would recommend not taking your RV to them as it is beyond their ability.

Lee, the owner, is the best in the business. He has been a mechanic for decades. I’ve always gotten fair deals from this gentleman. He doesn’t upsell you on stuff you don’t need. Will I come here again? Most certainly. 😀 thank you Lee, for being a upstanding honest mechanic!!

This is the only place I go for servicing my vehicles. Honest and reputable. The owner, Lee, will diagnose and give you an honest answer and fix it right for a reasonable price. As a female, I've had issues at the dealer and other shops. Felt like I was being taken advantage of, but not here at Automotive Specialties!

We have been going here for over 20 years. These folks have kept all of our cars and trucks running and safe for our kids and ourselves. We trust them and are so happy we found them so long ago. They are honest and really good at what they do.
