Finally, "I Got a Guy" for my Prius! It's rare to find a good independent auto shop - especially one that works on hybrids, but these guys clearly know what they are doing. Overall really happy with the communication and service I received. Definitely will be back!

Trying to find an honest and trust worthy mechanic is is nearly impossible for a woman that knows little about cars, if you fall into this category like me.. Look no further for an honest one stop shop. Kyle and the rest of the team are truly AMAZING. My brakes started squeaking a while back, I was due for an oil change and smog, I took my car in and was on a time crunch.. The team looked at my breaks and determined that they were not currently due, just making some noise, rather than making the decision for me to replace them or not.. They texted me and gave me the option. They saved me money with their honesty. As long as these guys are around I will NEVER go anywhere else! Not to mention they helped my mother in law when a different mechanic shop in Escondido (mechanic mike's) did a shotty job on replacing the engine on her car!! I got a guy is the mechanic for all my family and friends for LIFE! THANK YOU GUYS!

They are great. I needed an AC condenser and most places around town wanted at least $900. Matt quoted me $425 and was good on his word. Not only that, but my car was ready an hour earlier than expected. Very friendly and outstanding service. I highly recommend them.

Needed a bigger service done on my Camry. Dealer quote was out of my price range so a close friend referred me over to I Got a Guy. Price was significantly less than the dealer and they even finished the work faster than expected. Great experience overall and I will be telling all my friends that I finally "got a guy" for all my service needs!

Matt and Kyle are the best, truly. They are the definition of integrity and honesty. As a single woman who knows nothing about cars, I never have to worry that they are taking advantage of me. They are loyal, hard-working, talented, and both have great senses of humor; all characteristics which are valuable to come by in today's world. If you have an issue with your car, take it to Matt and Kyle at "I Got A Guy" Automotive, you won't be sorry.

I can’t say enough about “I gotta guy automotive”. I was in the process of buying a new used car but wanted reassurance that it was the right one. Matt and Kyle were responsive, professional and right on time! Kyle clearly explained the situation to me and made recommendations which I was easily able to address. It was a great experience and I would recommend anyone to use this company for their automotive needs!

Darrin came out to the house and fixed my Lexus bumper paint yesterday and he was amazing! The paint job is perfect. He even had to mix the metallic paint in his van because it was not stock. Cannot say enough good things. Thanks Matt for helping us out! Highly recommend I Got a Guy!

I recently had an exceptional experience with Matt and staff. Their customer service exceeded my expectations – they went above and beyond. Not only were their prices fair, but they also installed a tail light for me without any additional charge. They gave me the information on how to obtain a part I needed on my own to save me some money when most auto repair shops/ dealerships do the opposite and try to upsell. Their reliability and expertise has won my loyalty, and I highly recommend this place for top-notch service!

Anybody ever take your car into a shop and feel they are trying to suggest things that don’t really need to be done? I’m a mechanical guy and can do all my own auto work, but time is an issue for me so I take my vehicles to a shop. These guys will NOT add services that are unnecessary, they are honest, do clean work, fast and efficient. The guys at I got a guy auto are friendly, and awesome to work with and will work around your schedule. They are also extremely fair on their pricing and don’t gouge you on pricing like a lot of automotive shops around. Highly recommend this team to do work on your vehicles. I now take my truck, wife’s car, daughters car and my RV to these guys to work on them. Thanks for all you do guys!

I got a guy is the real deal.Kyle was able to squeeze me and my 30 year old Land Cruiser in on short notice before King Of The Hammers. Got my power steering issue fixed with a new belt and had me in my way. He also gave a list of failing seals and other maintenance that could wait and be done in the future when I had money and we were sure that they need to be fixed. You can’t find that kind of honesty anymore these days. They say you can only choose 2 of the 3 (cheap, fast and good) I got a guy is the exception to this rule! Stop reading reviews and know that this is your go to shop from now on. Cheers to the guys at I got a guy for their honest, detailed and professional work

Among the many things in life that is wonderful to NOT worry about - is finding a great auto mechanic that you can trust. Matt and his team at I Got A Guy are absolutely the best at what they do. I bring my personal cars to his shop as well as my business fleet vehicles. Owning and maintaining a vehicle can be stressful but knowing that I got a guy ; -) is just fantastic. Highly recommend. Wouldn't trust my vehicles with anyone else.
