Loose exhaust system component
Chris and his mechanics always do a great job! I hit a bump and my 2007 Matrix started making loud noises of clunking, rattling, and knocking which caused me to panic! I called Chris and he got me in right away even though he was extremely busy. It turned out to be a loose cover part and they fixed within a half hour! I'm so grateful for Chris and his crew:) Thank you!

Bless Chris and Steve if it wasn’t for them, I probably would’ve blown up my engine
I’ve consistently found Chris to be a great communicator and explaining what’s going on with my cars. He always tries to find the best deal on parts, pays his guys fair. I have a lot of respect for that over the years.
My car is not super common. He always waits till all of the parts are in before having you bring your car in so you’re without your vehicle for littlest time possible. I appreciate that the guys are fast and efficient, well oiled machine. He’s always pleasant even when he’s really busy. Fair, honest has integrity been around for very long time. There’s a reason for that. I recommended my parents check them out when they needed help decades ago..

Great Honest Service
Cars Automotive was recommended to me in the late 90’s.
My entire neighborhood uses them. Honest, professional & considerate.
They took care of my father & mother’s car at 95 and 91 and were fabulous with them.
Always a step above. Love that I can drive out and know my cars good.

Honest and Friendly
Cars Auto has been my go to place for years in Poway. There work is always timely and professional. The number one factory of this place is the honest work that they provide. I also love that when you take your vehicle in for a certain thing they always do more for you by doing inspections and recommendations to improve your vehicle. Thanks Cars and the owner for the great honest work. It's great to have someone to trust on your vehicles.

Cars is a good repair shop.
I am very pleased with Cars for my vehicle maintenance and repairs. I do not feel taken advantage of as a woman.
