Antonio's Auto Care inc in
Poway (CA)

I was initially really nervous to come in but from the beginning I was welcomed warmly. The service was great and efficient. Thank you so much

The reviews of Antonio's are spot on and frankly I used his stellar online reputation to drive my decision to get my Mom's vehicle there to get repaired. I was in town just a few days and I needed to help my mother get her ride fixed asap. Antonio got back to me with the diagnosis and a reasonable estimate in the time promised. Thank you sir and Happy Holidays!

First time going here and the owner helped me and he was amazing! Super quick service and great price! He treated me like I have been going there for years! I got a smog check and was a walk-in and was able to get helped immediately! Super friendly and efficient! Also he has a cute dog named Rocky! Will definitely come back!

I stopped in for an oil change and couldn’t believe how fast they got it done. The staff was friendly, and the whole process was smooth and easy. The price was also reasonable. Really appreciate the quick service!

I needed a quick, impromptu fix on my car and they were able to squeeze me in immediately. He is one of the most friendly and honest mechanics I've ever met. I'll definitely be back if I need any repairs in the future!

I brought my car on October 16, it was my first time in this shop and I was kind of nervous and Antonio was really helpful and he was really honest and explained really well what the problem was. Pricing was good too. No problems with my car after that, will come back!

I called Midas and Integrity on Thursday, they told me wait until Wednesday... Antonio took me right away and helped me in 10 minutes. Very fast and helpful

Antonio is super helpful, friendly, flexible and reliable. I will absolutely be back with any issue or scheduled maintenance. If you are looking for a great local mechanic, stop by Antonio's.

Hit something on the freeway and splash guard was cracked. Super fast fix for very little charge, would highly recommended. Honesty and integrity is here. Been a customer for years and will be back!

My girlfriend and I couldn’t be happier with our drop in visit to Antonio’s today. We were immediately greeted with a smile and assured that our car would be taken care of promptly and for the best price possible!! Fred is a very kind, hardworking human and has earned two costumers for life!! We will never go anywhere else. Thanks again, Fred!!

i arrived early & they took me in right away. antonio was kind, professional, and quick. explained everything clearly & was very welcoming. honest, fast & easy, definitely recommend!

Very grateful to have found Fred after my car needed emergency repairs. He gave me a quick diagnosis and sound advice. I've found my go to mechanic.

An honest mechanic can be hard to find, but find one you can with Antonio. He diagnosed our car's problems, gave an illuminating explanation and ultimately told us to scrap our car even though it cost him a $2000 repair job. If you want someone who will act in your best interest, he's your guy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about Antonio’s Auto Care Inc! I came in with an issue with my car, and one of the guys went above and beyond to help me out — even taking the time to look at it after hours. That kind of dedication and genuine care for customers is hard to find these days. He didn’t rush, made sure I understood what was going on, and treated me with total honesty and respect. You can tell they really care about their customers, not just about getting the job done but making sure you leave feeling confident and taken care of. I highly recommend this shop to anyone who needs reliable, trustworthy, and friendly auto service. Big thanks again to the team (and especially the tech who stayed late!) for their outstanding service.

Fred is great! My oil pan threads were stripped and I was looking for a mechanic who would be willing to drill and retap the threads instead of installing a new pan. He was very helpful when I called and made time for me to come in to the shop. 1000 miles later and the job is holding just fine. Thanks!!!

I found Antonio's Auto Care on Yelp and I'm so happy I did! I reached out to a number of auto shops to inquire about doing a pre-warranty expiration check on my nearly 10-year old car, and Fred was not only the quickest to respond and the most helpful, but he wasn't going to charge me anything for the inspection (unlike every other auto shop that got back to me). The shop is located next to a gas station. Pro tip: it's walking distance from Coffee Bean and Starbucks so you can relax or work while you wait! I ended up getting a smog check and oil/filter change while I was there because I was so impressed with Fred's level of service, and I was shocked how quickly he was able to get everything done! He even discovered an issue with my car that the Hyundai dealership didn't catch when I had them do the same pre-warranty expiration inspection 6 months prior. He let me take a video of the issue while he explained it in a way I could understand, which was beyond helpful. I will definitely be back for future oil changes & repairs! UPDATE: I wanted to provide an update and give Fred a HUGE thank you for finding something the dealership didn't - and just in time for my warranty to expire. Fred noticed that there was a ton of grease and grime leaking from the driver side CV axel shaft and possibly transmission seal. I ended up taking my car into the dealership a few days later, told them exactly what to look for thanks to Fred's clear instructions & details, and guess what? They confirmed that the driver side axel was in need of replacement AND that it was covered under warranty (with only days left to go). I saved $936 thanks to Fred and the care & attention I got at Antonio's Auto Care. I am so grateful!

10 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the first times I've gone to a mechanic shop and felt like I was talking to a person and not a mechanic. He went above and beyond to get my car back on the road swiftly . He prioritized my needs, listened, and gave no-frills assistance on what my car specifically needed. My daughter even got a lollipop on the way out the door. She's 7, and even spoke highly of the service we recieved! Bravo on top tier service. I will and shall return when needed!!

I can't say enough good things about Antonio and his shop. After being really disappointed with the service I received at the dealership, I followed a friend’s recommendation and brought my car to Antonio this morning because of a squealing noise when pressing the brake at low speeds. I’m going on a road trip tomorrow, and the noise had me seriously worried. Not only did Antonio quickly find the root cause, but he also took the time to explain everything clearly and honestly. He’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, kind, and truly cares about saving customers every penny—something you don’t often see in this industry! It’s rare to meet someone as trustworthy and helpful as Antonio. From now on, I’ll be bringing all my car service and repairs here. I only wish I had found this place sooner. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and friendly auto service in San Diego Area. 10 out of 10 service experience! Thanks to Antonio and his technician—you both made my morning so much better!

Just had my truck smog check done with Fred, quick and professional. His own words were true: “I get you done quick and done right, and I don’t wast your time.” I will come again for sure!

I saw all of the 5 star reviews when I chose this auto shop to help us get my sons new/used car up to par. Now I see why there are countless reviews about Fred and this shop. Honest people which is so hard to come by now and I appreciated them taking time to explain everything. Fred also didn’t want to do any unnecessary work so I appreciated him for that. I’m so happy that we found a place to take our sons car to be well taken care of. Thank you Fred!

I had a great experience at Antonio's Auto Care. Antonio was welcoming, friendly, and very professional. My smog check was completed in less than 10 minutes. I feel very fortunate to have this shop in my neighborhood.

I have been a satisfied customer for over 5 years and Fred and his mechanics are both professional and honest. I have never gotten such exceptional service from any other auto shop. We are blessed to have such excellence in our neighborhood. Thank you Fred for caring about your customers so much!

I had been on the hunt for a new mechanic and had negative experiences at other shops in the area. I brought my car to Antonio’s Auto Care due to an overwhelming smell of gasoline pumping into the inside of my car. Fred diagnosed the problem within minutes. He was incredibly nice, honest, and charged a very reasonable price for the repair. I will definitely be bringing my car here for any repairs or tune ups in the future!

100% would return and recommend. Antonio checked my older vehicle before smog to see if it would pass. Honest, helpful, kind, and quick. I am very thankful to have found Antonio’s!

Fred is the man! He was able to replace my leaking coolant reservoir on my c5 corvette in short notice at a very fair price. He was able to use the new part I purchased. Car is running great now and no longer overheating. Debit/cash only. I really appreciated how Fred was willing to get my car fixed before the shop closed for the weekend. Fast with his work as well. I would highly recommend!

I had a fantastic experience at Antonio's! After searching for a trustworthy, reliable, and knowledgeable auto care shop, I was thrilled and relieved to find this business. Fred (owner) is wonderful! Not just really good at his job- he's a really good person. I had heard about him from other great reviews on social media and I am happy to highly recommend as well!

I noticed my maintenance light came on in my car, and Fred came highly recommended by some local Mommas. We spoke on the phone, and he told me to come by and he'd give my car a free once over. When I arrived, he was as nice and kind as can be. He looked at the car and gave me an honest assessment. Everything was fine, with no major issues. I was due for an oil change and smog check, so he took care of those for me in about an hour. Pricing was super reasonable and piece of mind knowing Fred was honest and not looking to take advantage went a long way! Highly recommend Fred for any of your auto service needs!
