Auto Electric Repair

After an extremely frustrating experience with another repair facility, I took my 2018 Toyota Sienna to Auto Electric Repair in Vista. From the beginning, they approached the problem methodically instead of guessing. They diagnosed an intermittent electrical short that another shop had completely missed despite keeping my vehicle for over two weeks and recommending nearly $7,500 in unnecessary repairs. Auto Electric Repair located the actual problem, explained exactly what they found, repaired the damaged wiring, and had my vehicle back to me the very next day. Every issue was fixed, including my power windows, door locks, and air conditioning. What impressed me most was their troubleshooting process. Instead of replacing expensive parts, they took the time to find the root cause. Their professionalism, communication, and technical ability were outstanding. If you have a difficult electrical issue, I would trust this shop without hesitation.

Eric is a one of a kind: Intuitively smart about auto electrics, personable and nice to deal with, and a man of high integrity! I brought my 1968 Imperial in with a dead short that I had tried to fix for weeks. These cars are known to have just about the most complicated electrical systems of their time, yet Eric found and fixed the short very quickly, with a minimum of disruption to the car-and was VERY reasonable in his cost to do so. I was prepared to leave the car for hours and expected a big bill, but instead I was surprised at how quickly and inexpensively he got the job done. Don't even think of going anywhere else, I know I won't!

Eric and his crew are great. I have a 25 year old Jeep that had an electric issue that was supposedly repaired three different times by other shops, but no one diagnosed or repaired the actual problem. Auto Electric found the problem immediately and had me back in the road in a few days. I am in the auto industry and I appreciate how hard these electric issues are to fix, they will have all of my business moving forward.

Eric came through for us big time. We had non-functional tail lights on our RV and were leaving on a long trip in a couple days. Another garage had failed to find the issue but Eric and his guy weren't to be denied. I don't think they had even worked on an RV like ours before. No problem. They found the issue (rodent chewing of a wire bundle above the fuel tank) and soon had us back on the road. 4800 miles later, all is still good.

Eric is great! The cost was reasonable and didn't break the bank. I paid cash to save 4% on credit charges. He quickly assessed that I needed a part from Autozone. The next day it was installed. I went from 1 passenger window working to all 4 windows working. Eric noticed my brake lights were out and changed them no charge while adding new fasteners to my back bumper. Excellent work and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
