James is the supervisor of this place and he has two awesome mechanics Freddy and Carlos. I highly recommend bringing your European or Exotic car you have to get better work than any dealership will ever give you! Got my oil changed and my driver side door window regulator fixed! I highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.

James and his crew are the best. Very honest and respectable! when others wanted to charge me a grand for a Range Rover engine mount he took a look and discovered I didn’t need that. Great place I’ll only use them

I've been taking my Jaguars/Mercedes Benz to Eli European Car (James) for over 10 yrs. They always do quality work, trustworthy, and their prices are very reasonable. There have been many times that i dropped off my car with no appointment and they're always accommodating. I would not trust any other mechanic to work on my cars. Give them a chance, and they will not disappoint you.

This company is far and away the best European car repair company in San Diego and maybe in all of Southern California. I brought my car in to James and not only did he repair everything to perfection but he charged very reasonable prices. As I am a little older now I decided I needed my car picked up and delivered as the only option during the pandemic and he was totally agreeing and immediately sent someone over to pick the car up. He never even charged me for picking up the car and bringing it back even though the drivers took an Uber back to the shop. I just can’t say enough about mechanics who are like this and truly care about their service and the work they perform. Do yourself a favor and look no further as no one can match their skill level or quality of work!

James runs a very professional operation and is a master of his craft. So far I gave been very satisfied with the quality of his work. They are often busy and it may take a little time to get to your vehicle but well worth the wait. Highly recommend.

James and all the mechanics at Eli’s are amazing. The night before going on a road trip? My check engine light comes on which has never happened. I of course, was overly worried. They made sure to identify the cause of the issue and fix it in time for the road trip! I also go to Eli’s for regular maintenance for my 2015 Range Rover sport. They are a great and honest shop.

I stumbled upon this shop just by chance really. I own a business that requires a reliable, trustworthy, creative, and in general HONEST mechanic. I ran through a number of them before dropping in because its near my house and i will never go to anyone else. James and the crew are always friendly, they know what they are doing and are good people. I don't know about you, but I would much rather do business and support good people who are professionals in their industry with a solid reputation to boot. They have a customer for life, here.

I own and operate a car storage business. I look after British cars from time to time and Id only trust them with James at Eli's. He is honest and fair with his pricing and his work is always impeccable. He is a bit of a one man show so dont expect a lightning fast turn around..but that will be made up for in quality (good fast cheap, pick two).

I've taken my cars here for service over the last 5 years. 2 Bentleys. The first time I had service here, my front air suspension had a leak and the air strut had to be replaced. I originally took it to Ogara dealership in Sorrento Valley. The dealership didn't have it in stock and they had to order the part. I didn't have much more time as everytime I turned off my car, the front would sink down into the tire after a few hours. So I contacted Eli Autoshop while I was at the dealership, and they had it in stock and I took it down and got it replaced there. The same day. It was also Half the cost as the dealership. Ever since I've only taken my cars here to Eli's. They service other Exotic cars there. Over the years while getting oil changes, spark plugs, hoses, I've seen them service Ferrari, Rolls Royce, and other Bentley models while dropping off my car. I highly recommend them. Call them first and if they can't pick up, leave a voice-mail. They'll call you right back.

James is a true mechanic, He can fix anything and will do it right for a fair price. That's why I've been dealing with him for 25 years. If you are in San Diego and own a car, be smart and give James at Eli's a call. You will be glad you did.

Brought my S550 in for squeeking breaks 2 weeks ago. I was told front breaks were fine but they changed back breaks. After I left they were still were squeaking. I took it back for second time and James says they took Car apart and fixed squeaking. It is was still squeaking. Was told it may need to be worn in. I waited another few days but Car Was still squeaking, I took it back for 3rd time today and now he says front brakes need to be replaced for $350. I said but the woman who works here told me front breaks were fine. He responds well she is not here now so he cannot vouch for her!! If someone works for you you should be able to vouch for their work not try squeal away. Totally unacceptable. There excuse for not fixing problem initially is beyond ridiculous and weak. Money grabbers waste of my time. Will not be back EVER!!!

The best! Don't be fooled by outside appearance. James and his employees are real mechanics and know how to fix (not just put in expensive new parts) cars. Best in town for Rolls Royce.

Highly recommend. They can fix a 60 year old rolls royce or a new range rover. Probably one of the last real auto repair shops in San Diego. They have done repairs on a couple of my vehicles and they were able to fix the broken parts verses ordering them from England and taking 3 months.

Very knowledgeable on foreign cars, even older ones. He has done great work on my Rolls-Royces and my E-Type. He's way beyond the read-the-compyer-and-replace-the-part technician. He's a MECHANIC who fixees problems. The best!

Made an appointment a week in advance. When I got there he did not remember making appointment and was quite rude about it. Said I could leave the car there and he would get to it whenever he could, but would not even say what day that might be. Unpleasant about it. I did not leave car and will not go back

Possibly one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. Owner was rude, disinterested, and he shop looks like a total dump. If you actually value your car look elsewhere.
