Tires are the single most important safety feature on your car.

Action Auto Care has been the best car service I have ever found. Stumbled across it when I moved here, and have been back any number of times for problems that occurred with my vehicle. The service has always been prompt, effective and reasonably priced. In fact, Dave always goes the extra mile and looks for anything extra that he can do to make sure the car looks and works great. Near or far, using Action Auto Care will be a choice you'll be very glad you've made!

Dave will quote you over the phone but he'll say "It will be thirty-seven-ninety" and you may think he means $37.90 but he actually means $3,790.

BE CAREFUL! Ask for his quote in writing to be clear about what work exactly you're approving.

Our 21-year-old son took his 2002 Subaru Forrester in for a tuneup and over multiple phone calls, thought he approved up to $700 in repairs (reasonable amount for a 19-year-old car). But according to Dave's old-school, non-digital, verbal way of doing business, our son accidentally approved up to $7,000 of work. That Dave would even

Very happy to have found Action Auto! We moved to Ramona fairly recently, and when our car had some problems I didn't know where to go. I checked out Yelp and Action Auto had some very good reviews, so I decided to give them a try. I called them up just to make sure they were able to take my car and get an idea of pricing, friendly over the phone and answered all my questions, price seemed very reasonable.
I had the car towed over late in the afternoon, told them I wasn't in a huge rush and just take a look when they could. The next morning I got a call saying it was all finished. I

Needed to find a new mechanic after years of going to another. I talked to them, told them my needs and scheduled it that next day. Their work was excellent, on time and very reasonable. They are my new go to repair place for our 3 vehicles.

Dave is upfront throughout the service which includes pre-notification if there is any deviation outside the work order so you can determine the cost benefit. Parts and labor are fair. Our experience with Dave and his shop shows his integrity with excellent workmanship. We brought in our daughter's 2000 Toyota RAV4 which had a broken alternator support bolt in the engine block among other high mileage repair needs. Dave gave the old car a new life! Support this small business owner, we will highly recommend Dave's shop to our friends and family.

I continue to be impressed by the level of service I receive at Action Auto. I have been a customer for about 5 years and continue to be highly satisfied with everything I have had done, from routine maintenance to more indepth repairs (brakes, etc.). I always feel like my business is appreciated. If you are looking for an honest, dedicated auto repair shop, go to Action Auto Care. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

These guys are amazing! There customer service is wonderful.. so thankful there apart of our small town. I finally at the age 38 ran out of gas. I called to borrow a gas can & not only did they loan me one. They helped fill it w: gas. The lady I had pick it up was so greatful she didn't have to do it on her own..

And today my engine light came on. Apparently it was way low on oil. I called and Dave said come in! We needed to be in Escondido by 9, he added oil for me free of charge and had me come back for the oil change later. He helped us get back on the road w: out worry!

I treat Action Auto as an extension of my own garage, having them help me with anything I can't do myself or are having problems with. They are created with solutions, and willing to do research on hard problems. I have worked with Action Auto a long time, and they have always been extremely honest and very open about costs, options, and problems regarding repairs.

I rarely write reviews but feel the need to give due recognition and credit where due; and this is much overdue. I was first introduced to Dave, the owner of Action Auto via a referral for an alignment from our favorite local body shop...10 years ago? 10 years (or more!) later we continue to give Action Auto 100% of our auto repair needs; here's why.
Finding a trustworthy, do-it-all auto shop can be as stressful as buying a car; no one wishes that upon themselves or others. Dave at Action Auto was forthright from our first meeting, which is a tough feat as even after the referral he had

I HIGHLY recommend Dave at Action Auto. They brought back my confidence in mechanics. I brought my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee in to find out why the number 6 cylinder kept missing. After all the tests he done he called me and said it was a head gasket and possibly the valves but he couldn't tell me for sure until he brought the heads to machine shop. Once he found out that the valves did need to be done he gave me a call and let me know I told him to proceed. The job was done efficiently on time and a bit under what he quoted and done correctly. He has a great team there and a great lead mechanic

I took my truck in because the check engine light was on and no one was able to retrieve the codes. Honest and knowledgeable, Action Auto was able to suggest a fairly simple repair and their diagnosis was correct. Affordable and relatively quick too, they have earned my business!

I have been going to Action Auto for 7 years and have been very happy with their work. They always go over things with you and let you know what is needed and the price. If things change they inform you and let you decide what to do. I would recommend Action Auto to all. Nice place and great service.

I love going to action auto.
I aam a 28 year old girl and I drive a lot, I live in san marcos and work in ramona 5 times week. They understand how important my car being safe is. Any time I hear a weird sound in my car they listen to me and always help me fix it. They are really great people and I recommend them to anyone.

Took my truck in for a smog service and was informed that I needed tires and my front brake pads were thin... (all I wanted was smog not an inspection) so I took my truck to another shop for tires and was told my brakes were fine .

Took my Toyota Highlander in because the car wasn't holding the power steering fluid more than a couple days...took it here originally because they replaced the power steering pump a few months ago..."no charge" to look at it....but it was fine. Knowing my luck, there was a bad hose...not the cheap, easy to get to hose....but the expensive, not easy to get to one!

our luck hasn't been the best in a long time, especially since I broke my shoulder two months ago...they gave me a lift home when i dropped it off ((i wanna say steve...i'm sorry i didn't get your name

Professional and honest. We had a transmission problem but decided to tow it to a transmission shop in our neighborhood. They did not charge us for the inspection/diagnosis nor for the two days the vehicle sat on their service lift while I researched my options. They referred me to a tow when I opted for my neighborhood shop. Thanks for your integrity and assistance.
