Robert and his crew are true, honest and professional. I'm a DIY guy that prefers to work on my own vehicles, but when things get beyond my ability, I call Robert at S&S. He is a true car guy that builds hot rods in his spare time. This guy is the real deal.

I have been to S&S several times and they (Robert) always have done good work at a good price. They put an engine in a car for me and did some frame repair work on another car for me. Robert is an honest guy.

So my AC in my Honda CRV went out. Me and my Frenchie are heat sensitive! I took it to the Honda dealer to get a estimate. They wanted $4000 to fix my AC ! I posted a add on the Nextdoor app in my neighborhood so I could find a more affordable place. I got a few shop suggestions and I decided to go with S&S. I took it in for a diagnoses & it needed less parts then Honda wanted to replace. So the cost was less then half the price of Honda. Robert and his Mother that works in the office were very helpful and worked with me and my schedule. I highly reccomend them if you have any auto repair needs !

They gave me the most competitive quote in the market to fix my Air conditioner a few months ago and got it done quick. AC is still running strong!

So incredibly helpful! My car was towed to them at noon, and they were able to fix my water pump and serpentine belt before they closed at 5. They were very patient with me as I was constantly calling to check on the status, and I needed to drive up to the Bay Area that evening. They worked hard and fast to get me back on the road in time. Thanks for everything!

I had a very complicated Dodge Charger cooling system nightmare that even the Dodge dealership could not figure out. S & S was my 5th shop (was referred there by another mechanic, actually), and thankfully my last shop, because Robert figured it out! I'm amazed at the diligence he put in to researching my issue, even before I came in. His HONESTY is astounding, and I appreciate so much that he talked through the situation and the options with me. After everything I've been through with this car for this issue, I feel like I can confidently say that Robert is indeed the "specialist" I was referred to him as. I would definitely recommend S & S, even for your toughest diagnostics!

Scary walking up but great mechanics. They received a core for my radiator, for our 1940 Hudson. They found it to be unacceptable and sent it back. It runs and looks great. Robert does an incredible job. Highly recommended! Very expensive, about 2xs more than we think it should have been.

Best shop in Oceanside for any vehicle. They are the only ones I will allow to work on my classic car. Robert is the owner and his mom runs the desk. I support small business and they are the best at what they do.

Our Car Club, the Little Guys Street Rods, had a tour of S&S last year. Since several of the members have had service of some sort done there and everyone was very pleased, so I took my 36 Chevy there for air conditioning and some minor repair. I couldn't have been happier with the work and service. I took the Chevy back for a complete tune up and oil change and the car runs like never before. My son took his 64 Malibu in for his air conditioning and some minor repairs and he is delighted to have air again. When I picked up my 36 I dropped off my wife's 64 Olds for several minor repairs. I couldn't be happier with S&S, Robert is an amazing mechanic and a really friendly giant. His mom Cheryl runs the office to perfection. It's like going to a car show when you visit due to all the classic cars there being worked on. I can't recommend them any higher.

Robert is well versed on all makes and models. He is thorough and provides good detail in regard to the problem. He walked us through the repair and also reached out to a tire company on our behalf. He was diligent in making sure the job was complete. If there is something that he isn't completely sure of he researches and finds the solution. He is very courteous and respectful. I would recommend S & S.

Robert and his Team blew me away with their attention to detail and integrity. I have a very old Acura that they took good care of and gave me a very fair estimate to fix what was ailing it. Can’t recommend this shop enough if you’re looking for a honest car mechanic in O-Side!

I was referred to S&S by a friend. Running a junk removal business requires constant maintenance so we needed to find a trustworthy, honest and affordable company to help us. S&S has done all the work on our fleet vehicles as well as our personal ones. Robert is a knowledgeable professional who clearly explains the needed services and steps to take; we love how he doesn’t attempt to upsell. Can’t thank them enough for all the amazing work they’ve done over the last years and keeping our business going!

I brought my work van in for an oil change at S&S Advanced Auto Repair a few days ago, and the experience was great! Scheduling over the phone was super easy, and they got me in and out of the shop quickly. They were also able to accommodate my van with the ladder rack, which is a huge plus. I highly recommend them for any commercial vehicles. Excellent service, fast, and efficient!

Very very busy. Had an electronic issue on my sris music and cigarret lighter. Checked all the fuses in the utube videos and still couldn't figure it out. Was recommended to go there on a Thursday so I went. The lady in the front said no can do till next week. Went to best buy and Arron had it figured out in less than 5 minutes. There was another fuse in the glove box I didn't know about. Awesome job Arron from Best Buy.

Five stars! I brought my car in thinking I needed new brakes, they gave me a very competitive quote, and then upon inspecting my brakes, told me that I had 80% of my brake pads left and wouldn’t need new brakes for probably another 40,000 miles or more. This is the type of transparency you hope for when you go to an auto shop. Would definitely recommend.

This is a great auto shop. I came in by a recommendations, and the owner was very attentive to my needs, knowledgeable, honest, and charged reasonable prices for the work done. Thanks for the service and I recommend this shop, plus there's a great coffee shop (Communal) and pther restaurants in walking distance.

Hands down, probably the most honest and trustworthy shop in north county. Robert absolutely rules. Patient with your questions, very thorough with you when explaining things and addressing your concerns. Been bringing my vehicles here since 2018. There're no escaping the cost of repairs, but the shop will work with you to figure out a solution. You'll never have to worry about shady business practices here.
