Coastal Foreign Auto Services

Peter and Chris are honest and great trustworthy mechanics. The Acura dealership told me my AC compressor was dead and it would cost over $2,000. I was recommended to go to Coastal Foreign Auto Service and so glad I did, as they fixed my AC by just adding freon gas for $40. Highly recommend them.

I've been taking my cars to Coastal Foreign Auto for well over a decade. I live in Valley Center and I drive 45 minutes to get my cars to Coastal Foreign because I can trust Chris and Peter. They do outstanding work, at a fair price, and they don't pressure me to do additional work that isn't immediately needed. They will let me know if they find any other problems with the car and whether or not they need immediate attention or can safely wait until a future date. I don't feel pressured and I don't feel like they are trying to upsell me. On more than one occasion they have fixed quick minor issues and not charged me a dime, because it only took 10 minutes. Who does that anymore? Chris and Peter are honest, and I trust them, and that to me, is worth its weight in gold.

My neighbor recommended Chis and Peter at Coastal Foreign Auto over at least 8 years ago and I'm so glad she did. They always quickly got right to the problem with my car and fixed it in a timely manner. I never felt like they were doing any more work than necessary and were fair and honest. Their excellent work helped take my 2006 Acura MDX to beyond 300,000 miles! Then when things started to wear and I had bigger engine trouble, again they were honest and told me the repairs were not worth it and saved me a boat load of unnecessary expenses. They recommended I say good by to the car and even though they had taken the time to do the diagnostics, and a couple of days prior had changed the car oil, they didn't even charge me for either of these last services! Wow! Honest, Fair, and the Best in the business! I highly recommend Coastal Foreign Auto!

These guys are the BEST! My #1 for all of my BMW services. They are better than BMW themselves. Honest, genuine, efficient and painless. Loyal customer of 5 years now :)

I've been using these guys for years, three cars worth. They have great labor rates and they don't try to add any unnecessary work. They also do the work needed more quickly which lowers the cost of labor. They also markup the price of parts delivered to them at a lower percentage rate than other places resulting in lower costs. I have all my work done there except oil changes be I do those my. I've never had a problem with them and have never had to bring any of my vehicles back due to shoddy work. I highly, highly recommend Pete and Mark at Coastal Foreign Auto in Encinitas.
