Michel’s is fabulous! I found Michel’s through a Groupon and have not gone anywhere since. He’s honest, kind and treats me not as just a customer, but as a family friend. Most importantly, my car is healthy and happy. 😊

Went to Michel's 1st time for my Van's synthetic oil change. Friendly, fast, professional service. They checked my van, topped off low wiper fluid, put air in the tiers. I'm delighted with the service. I will return for my next oil change.

I have had an excellent experience with Michael when I had to do a minor repair for my 2006 PT Cruiser. First of all he is a very good human being, and an excellent professional who gave me accurate advice to spend on what is actually needed. He is a very good professional. Every time I take my car for a long ride, he gives me hope that my car will go without any trouble, and trust me I did trips to Vegas, Phoenix, multiple trips to LA, including others like Joshua Tree, Solvang, etc. I would strongly suggest Michael to anyone who wants a reliable mechanic and a genuine advisor to attend to your needs.

This place is a family run small business. Support local!!! Edward and Holly are amazing. Made me feel welcome and answered all my questions. Being a female goin into an auto shop can be frustrating at times and feel like I don’t know anything cause I’m a female but here I didn’t feel that way at all!!! I would totally recommend them to everyone. Fast service and awesome work!!!

Edward and his team are reliable, trust worthy and get the job done without any issues. I made the mistake of getting an oil change elsewhere, which ended up being a disaster. Edward was able to get me in quickly and fixed the mistakes of the other place. The service is amazing!

Came in for an oil change from Groupon and didn't realize I had to make an appointment. They took me anyway and helped me out, even putting air in my tires as well. They're awesome and so professional, I'm glad I found the Groupon when I did!

THEY ARE THE BEST!! The ONLY place to take your car! I am not sure the extent of their services but IF YOUR CAR NEEDS ANYTHING, TAKE IT TO MICHEL'S! I went through the craziest experience at my dealership and I brought it to Michel's for a 2nd opinion. When I say Michel's saved me money, I'm not talking a few dollars...Michel's saved me thousands of dollars!! Instead of over $6000.00 to my dealership (just the initial estimate), Edward and Cameron found the problem in 20 minutes and I happily paid the smallest fraction of what the dealership wanted to charge me! My car is running and good as new! They are so accommodating, brilliant mechanics, and just honest good people! My car is only going to Michel's from now on! THANK YOU Edward and Cameron!!!!

Its so hard trying to find a mechanic, especially when you know nothing about cars! Just go to Michel's Automotive. You can totally trust them! Great service and they will always talk you through everything so can really know you are getting a great deal! Honest, transparent, and good prices

thank God for honest people. Brought my car in because another shop told me I needed brake pads and rotors, would have been $800. Eduardo, the owner looked at all four wheels, and showed me the pads and rotors are fine (8mm thick pads is good & rotors are clean). Will DEFFINATELY bring the car back here for any/all future service needs, even though i live 20 miles away... as Eduardo said, God will provide, as he did today, saved me $800 and provided me a new mechanic shop for me and all my family. Thank you buddy

I can say without question, any review less than 5 stars is without validity. I’ve been a return customer for some time now and frequently recommend this shop and their services to others. I have had nothing but positive experiences here and my car has made it to a happy 214,000 as a result of the care provided. Edward and his team are as genuine as they come. They’re professional, efficient and provide honest service and pricing, every time. I highly recommend Michel’s Automotive Repair to anyone in search of a reliable mechanic, from regular maintenance, to major repairs. This is your place.

Just got the front brake pads and rotors on our Mazda Cx-5 and have to say that the owner, Edward Michel was amazing! He got us in early to accommodate our schedule, had super fair pricing, took the time to explain what needed to be done, was really polite, got the work done quickly and provided GREAT customer service. I was able to work on my laptop from a comfortable waiting area and would HIGHLY recommend this shop!

I can’t thank Edward enough for his honesty and professionalism. I brought my son’s car in thinking it needed new brakes and rotors. Turns out the real issue was far more serious—the wheel bearing was barely hanging on and posed a major safety hazard. I’m so grateful he caught it before something worse happened. He took the time to explain everything clearly and didn’t try to upsell or take advantage of the situation. On top of that, his pricing was more than reasonable. It’s rare to find someone you can truly trust in this line of work, and Edward has absolutely earned that trust. Highly recommend!

I stumbled upon Michel's Automotive Repair through a Groupon offer, and I can confidently say it was the best automotive decision I've made. Since the onset of Covid, I've entrusted my vehicle to Edward, who treats me like family. At Michel's, the motto is clear: "Let our family take care of yours." This sentiment rings true in every aspect of their service. Michel's is not just a family business; it's a sanctuary of trustworthiness. Edward's dedication to his craft and his customers is unparalleled. During my first visit, I opted for an oil change and brake pad replacement. Edward not only completed the services impeccably but also went the extra mile by topping up all fluids and inspecting my brakes. To my surprise, he deemed the brakes still safe to drive and even refunded me for the Groupon. Recently, when I returned for another routine oil change, Edward discovered that my brakes had reached their limit. His keen eye and commitment to safety astounded me. Despite a busy schedule and personal responsibilities, Edward accommodated me immediately, emphasizing the paramount importance of road safety and customer well-being. His genuine concern for his customers, exemplified by his willingness to prioritize repairs on a rainy day while managing parental duties, speaks volumes about his character. Michel's Automotive Repair has not only provided me with reliable vehicle maintenance at a low cost but has also instilled confidence in me regarding car repairs. I am immensely grateful to Edward and his family for their dedication to keeping this business running smoothly. Their legacy of excellence and care is something I hope future generations will experience. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Michel's to anyone in need of automotive services. My rating? 100/10--this establishment exceeds all expectations and sets a new standard in customer satisfaction.

Just recently went through this company for Brakes and rotors (all four) the customer service was amazing and they were very communicative and friendly. The best part was their affordability! If you are looking somewhere that won't cost you an arm or leg this is definitely the choice.

I had my brake pads and rotors replaced here, and the experience was excellent. Edward and Ted did a fantastic job! They were quick, professional, and experienced. They were honest about what needed to be done, gave me a fair price, and treated me with genuine friendliness. It’s not often you find a shop that combines great workmanship with honesty and customer care. Highly recommend!

At Michel's I'm no longer paranoid when seeking auto services. Not anymore. Found Michel's to be honest, customer focused, communication excellent and reasonable transparent pricing. This style of service seems to have vanished elsewhere, including dealership. Why do others treat oil change like brain surgery and refuse to quote? Yeah thats Hyundai Escondido and Poway. I needed to request a little assistance for accommodating my disability and all good. Here i don't get ignored or dismissed as elsewhere. If something is not required I am not pushed to do the service. Thanks for keeping customer dignity in service. That said, you're also not going to pay for unnecessary elaborate waiting area, transportation services, exotic coffee beverages and donuts. Your car will be done when stated for your appointment making the fluff unnecessary.
