I didn't know places (and people) like this still exist. I was on the road with my business when my sprinter started leaking coolant. After finding the leak and unable to patch it up myself I pulled up to Purrfect Auto. Paul was behind the desk and immediately started helping me. We were unable to find the part, but he got my van in and his mechanic Paul (the other Paul) helping me right away. We came up with an excellent work around and I was back on the road in a matter of hours. All said I was charged more than fairly for the service I received. If you're local to Oceanside I would highly recommend giving these guys your business!

I hate to leave bad reviews but I feel others need to beware. I took my truck in because it started running really rough and they had it for about 3 days. They couldn't figure out what was wrong but decided to change the distributor. I'm not sure what they felt but it still ran the same, rough and they thought it ran better. It didn't at all! Then they called and said my power steering pump went out so they had to replace that which I never had any problems with, no noise ore problem steering ever. Obviously the powered steering had nothing to do with how it was running but somehow it all the sudden went out. Anyway, come to find out I need the whole engine rebuilt because the rods are bad according to 2 other mechanics. So this means Puurfect Auto just changed what they thought may be wrong without properly checking the whole engine for problems. &700.00 later I needed a new engine rebuild and I am out $700 for nothing being done to help the situation. I give 2 starts because the person running the customer service was nice and they didn't charge extra to look at it but I am still out a truck and $700. Very disappointed!Service: Engine repair

I LOVE this place. We have had them fix our car and they did great. They were very friendly and even remembered me when I came back. Highly recommend these people. Ray is absolutely a sweetheart!! And if you are in the military, EVEN BETTER. They fully support the military and help out members so much!

I got referred here by my mother. First time ever taking my car for a tune up, and I must say. . . These guys are awesome. Awesome to the max. They knew what I needed to get done for my Kia Soul and got it done for me at a nice price. No broken wallet and still have all my body parts. These guys, they're a yes.

Purrfect Auto always has the best prices and is fair, but sometimes they are so popular that you have to wait or adjust the time you can come in. They will work with you and seem genuine, I recommend their services! It is a good idea to call ahead if you can. Thanks!

I don't not recommend taking your vehicle here at all! They didn't complete the work I dropped the Ford Flex off for and I was in a loaner car for 3 days with no work being performed on my vehicle and no information given to me that it wasn't being worked. Then I was told they couldn't do the work and I had to pick up my vehicle with no repairs performed and an Enterprise bill. They comped up $100 after a hassle and dealing with the managers rude attitude. Took my car to another shop and it was done in 2 days with no issues. Take your car there at your own risk!!

I just moved here. My fan belt shredded while on the interstate. A nice woman referred me to them and I m so glad she did! Not only did ray explain everything to me he also showed me a complete breakdown for cost of repair which was VERY affordable! Upon further investigation he told me that my powersteering pump blew and waited for me to see it myself before ordering the part. I got my car towed to them and it was completed in two days. I highly recommend them and will be taking my car to them for everything now!

Where do I begin? I've been a customer of Purrfect Auto for 15+ years. I have a 1987 Corvette and when I first purchased it "used" in 1998, I would take it to Weseloh Chevrolet for service since they are a Chevy dealer. After not so great service time and time again I discovered Purrfect Auto and have never looked elsewhere for my automotive needs. Ray, the owner and Paul, his right hand man go above and beyond to take care of all of my vehicles. Best prices and best service, they do the job right and are honest hard working guys. It's nice to know you can still trust in an auto service shop today. Thank you Ray, kudos to you and your staff!!!

Wow, I just called them asking about the services they offer. I informed them that I was nervous bringing my car into yet another mechanic as I haven't had positive experiences with any mechanic.. always something else going wrong after.You know what they said-"Well then take it to your dealer"Okay... how about I just let everyone know that you're not for making the customer feel comfortable.Worst customer service I have ever experienced.. at least the other guys will kiss your ass wanting you to bring business there.

Another job well done! Everytime they have been honest and professional. The only promblem is, when I ask for the Lamborgini, they tell me they can't help me.These guys are the best! Great service and pricing is fair! I thought I had an issue with my brakes, even though they have fairly new pads. I was preparing for the worst. But nope, it was the hub caps making some noise. They were honest with me and explained I didn't need anything else, but the oil change. Thanks guys!

Went in because of a alignment coupon no parking anywhere, bad sign. I pulled in to their garage and got bad looks every where and to top it off the place looked more like a junkyard instead of a mechanic shop. Found a spot a block away. Walked inside and an older gentleman greeted me, I told him about the coupon he said his alignment guy was busy doing something else. It was gonna be 4 hours or so. Really! I told him I was in a rush he gave me his business card and said to call to see if the guy could do it later. I took my car to big o tires paid 90 bucks but was done with in an hour. I recommend people to stay away from this dump.

My vehicle broke down on a long road trip, and went to purrfect auto in Oceanside and Ray was super helpful and fixed my alternator in half a day. Very honest and reasonable rates, even dropped me off and picked me up from my hotel. Thanks Ray! Jason.

Took my car in to get my front brake pads replaced and rotors resurfaced, on the way home realized there was a loud clank every time I went over any uneven pavement. Took my front tires off that night to investigate and saw that one of the two bolts holding the driver side caliper on to the car was left only half way bolted on. After tightening it to the specified torque, I took my car for a test drive and there was no noise. This carelessness could have caused damage to my car and more importantly could have caused an accident resulting in my family and or others being injured or killed. Will never take my car here again and I would not suggest anyone take there car to a mechanic that is so careless. Paul is a good guy but he needs to be harder on his staff and hire more qualified guys who take pride in what they do.

I am a naturally skeptical person, and mechanics are notorious for being untrustworthy. But when the guy volunteers all of the facts and costs up front, writes it down, and says that I am going to research and check around... even before I suggest I would... he gains some real credibility with me. They did a fine job (with mechanical items it is either good or bad), but this review is based on the personal dealings. I would go back, and that means a lot.My only suggestion is that they get a dropbox for early morning keys. They don't think they can due to the block-wall type architecture. However, I notice that they have lots of windows on the alley side that with a little effort could house a drop. They could also install a cinderblock pillar containing a lockbox.

I give 4 stars only because of the long wait time I experienced on a couple oil changes, over 2 hours. Otherwise I have experienced great service. Been going there about 2 years now. Good prices as well.
