Jacob and his team were able to troubleshoot an EVAP leak for me and source the hard to find parts. I will definitely be back they were honest and fair priced.

I chose this garage based on their participation in RepairPals, their ability to service my extra large van, and their Google reviews. I wasnt disappointed. Their inspection was thorough and included evidential photos to support recommendations. Their prices were reasonable and the service was friendly. They went above and beyond with a few tasks that were definitely not in the job description, and they helped me with them just because theyre nice people. The paperwork and service review process were also very thorough. Ill be coming back. Highly recommend!

Very helpful Staff. I came to them after failing my smog inspection, and they were able to do great work on my car to make sure I passed the second time. I would highly recommend this company for any of your repair needs.

Ive used Caliber for several years on my older Acura and newer Toyotas. The team is honest, takes the time to explain everything (transparent) and always meets my needs at prices less than I expect. Its hard to find a good mechanic and these guys will always have my business.

I am so happy I found these guys! I have had a lot of trouble finding a trustworthy and fair mechanic since I moved to San Diego, and every time I come to Caliber I know I have nothing to worry about. Sabrina at the desk is always really sweet and Jacob makes sure to fully explain everything I need to know, and they only do the necessary work without trying to upsell. I would definitely recommend coming here if you have any troubles

My company uses Caliber so I thought Id give them a try. The staff is so friendly and scheduling is always easy. I took my vehicle in a while back because i felt like it was loosing power, Jacob and his team diagnosed the issue and let me know that the issue should still be under warranty with the dealer. They fixed just enough for me to get my vehicle there safely. The staff is honest and always lets me know upfront what my charges will be and prioritizes what services I need for my car.

Jacob and his team took great care of me. Had a tire sensor issue, they replaced and rotated a tire for me. Upon the rotation Jacob found that I had no wheel weights on my tire. He was kind enough to take care of the issue for me.Great service, great team and great prices!!Thank you Jacob for getting me back on the road safely. Thank you Sabrina for keeping me company while I wanted and making sure my vehicle was getting taken care of too!

These guys have worked on all my vehicles since I could drive and they have always been 100% honest and worked with me to get the job done correctly. Their prices are completely fair and the technicians are extremely knowledgeable. I always recommend these guys to my family and friends and cant say enough good things about these guys!

If you need honest mechanics, this is your place! I feel comfortable and at home with Jacob, Sabrina and the rest of the crew. Everyone is friendly and most of all you can trust that they won’t rip you off with work your vehicle doesn’t need. Come on out and give them a chance. You will never look back.#reasonableprices❤️❤️

Caliber Auto Repair is the most trustworthy and reliable shop in San Diego county! I have a 2003 model vehicle with over 250k miles on it. The guys at CAR have kept my vehicle in the game and without any issues. They understand my concerns and work with me based on them (I want to drive this thing forever :) ). Anytime I have a minor problem I can get in with them quickly and get a honest opinion of what needs to be done. They dont overcharge you with unnecessary work like other shops will. They let you know all of your options and deliver impeccable service with a high level of professionalism. I cant recommend these guys enough!

When it comes to regular maintenance or any mechanical issues, I know I can trust the folks over at Caliber. They are efficient, skilled, and most importantly honest. I know I am not going to get a run-around and will leave feeling like my car has been in excellent hands. Would not take my Honda Fit anywhere else!

Yup, this is an absolutely trustworthy and knowledgeable auto repair shop. Through a few different experiences, they have definitely earned their place as our go-to mechanic. I mean, just check out their Google and Yelp reviews... they strive on providing top-notch service!

I had Jacob and the gang at Caliber Automotive install a front end lift kit on my 2018 Ford F 250 super duty. The work was perfect and completed in a very timely manner. My truck was well cared for, not even a dirty fingerprint left behind. Being a mechanic my self I am very picky. For great work as well as fantastic customer care I absolutely recommend these guys. I am taking my truck back in for more work.

Review №21

One of the more pleasant experiences Ive had with a auto mechanic. Wanted my 2002 Silverado brought back to life that was sitting for 1-2 years. I took it to a dealership and a few other places and was quoted enormous amounts and little explanations.However Caliber sent me a full diagnostic color-coded with urgent fixes and did it for about half the cost. They were fast, honest, and the owner even checks up with you after the work is done to make sure you are satisfied. Sabrina and Jacob were easy to work with. Ive found a new spot to take my trucks and cars from now on. Thank you!

Great automotive shop. You have Jacob who is the owner and hands on manager that was raised learning to do automotive work since he was a young teenager. He is really expert. I had an issue with my vehicle, a Honda Element, that another shop could not resolve. Jacob and his team had it addressed and my vehicle is running great. There is the saying that you should know and have a great mechanic to care for your car or truck and my opinion is that Caliper Auto is just that.Thank you! from a very highly satisfied customer.

Caliber Auto is top notch! Jacob and his team are true professionals who do great work with honestly and integrity. I have taken both of my vehicles there numerous time over the past few years and have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences. In fact, I will be going back for some additional work soon. I recommend Caliber Auto to anyone who asks and will continue to do so. Thank you Jacob and Caliber Auto!

Theres nothing like going to your mechanic and feel like youre visiting your friend. Rocket, Jacobs dog, always greets me and insist on getting his pets. The mechanics all know me and my car. And Sabrina at the desk is a breeze to work with. I can always count on my car getting done when they say its going to be done. Recently I had a warranty issue and they made sure I got an appointment at the dealership right away. Caliber rocks!

Caliber Auto Repair is the only place I take all of my vehicles. This even includes my classic Chevy truck. Their work is superb, all staff is professional, and the service is top quality. I refer everyone I know to Caliber Auto Repair. If you have car trouble, take it to Caliber Auto Repair.

Jacob and company are the best! Extremely knowledgeable and reliable.Most importantly they are straight shooters you can trust for an accurate estimate, what needs to be done now and what can wait and they stand behind all their work. They fix it right the first time and save you a lot of money. Myself, friends and family have been using them for years, never had an issue and we all highly recommend them for all your mechanical needs.

There are a lot of things to consider when reviewing an auto repair shop; customer service, quality of parts, quality of workmanship, price, and overall experience. All of these categories are five star at Caliber Auto Repair. This is my 7th time in and realized I should probably leave them a review. Keep up the good work guys, A+

The staff of caliber were awesome! From the moment I took my damaged car from being t-boned to the day it was ready for pick up. They kept me updated all through the process. Farmers Insurance took care of the bills. Caliber will pick you up or take you home - whatever you need, they provide it all!

Great work and quick return. Honda broke down right after having our baby, thought it was a blown head gasket and would be spending a ton. Was a cheaper fix so I had them do a few other repairs and car worked like new. Have worked on my other car as well and did a great job! Highly recommend

Took my Mercedes CLK 500 into Caliber Auto Repair for the first time yesterday. Cannot say enough good things about this shop. Its run by two young guys and has a real family feel. There were different makes and years of cars in for repairs the day I went - so I felt comfortable leaving my car there. They were kind of busy when I took my car in (2 or 3 people in front of me) but I didnt have to wait more than a few minutes for someone to help me. My car needs several little things, which at the dealer would defiantly be thousand$. I cant afford to get it all done right now, so I needed for someone to tell me what really needs to be fixed right away, and what can wait a little while, and hopefully give me a reasonable price to do the work. There was no pressure to spend more than I could afford. Caliber gave me a lot of information when providing the estimate (located used parts to offer that option along with the cost for dealer parts). They even noticed my windshield wipers needed replacing which I knew but totally forgot to mention, so I took care of that while I was there too!These guys are knowledgeable, fast, and very reasonable. I am going recommend them to everyone I know.

I usually do all my own automotive stuff, mostly because I’ve seen the aftermath of using cheap, bad mechanics. My oil plug was stopped at a random quick oil change shop and they didn’t tell me, they just put blue Loctite on it and I only found this when I decided to do my own oil change.Trust is key, and Caliber is the only place I trust. The owner, Jacob, tells the truth and is fair in his pricing. What else do you want from your mechanic? I will always refer Caliber to anyone who needs work on their vehicle. Epic experience, a great digital assessment gets sent to you so you can see what they checked and what needs to be addressed. I brought it in for brakes and they told me it didn’t need brakes, I’ve been to shops who would have sold me brakes, they aren’t like that at Caliber. Thank you Jacob.

I use to take my vehicles to El Cajon auto electric for many many years once they closed I was worried I wouldn’t find a reputable shop for my work vehicles and weekend rides. It took going to several shops til I stumbled upon Jacob and his awesome staff at caliber. They are honest, fair, communicative, friendly, and if they do make a mistake they own up to it and correct the issue. I’ve recommended several friends, acquaintances, and family members to take there cars to caliber. I hope they are around a very long time, because once you find a trustworthy garage/auto repair facility you don’t wanna have to find another one. 5 stars plus!!!

Perfect customer service and very educational. They took the time to teach me about my car and what was actually wrong with it without making me feel uneducated. Alot of auto shops have that shady feel to it but Not these guys at all. Great customer service, fast and overall just really friendly people. The only complaint that I have is that the shop dog was sleeping and I didnt get to pet it. 10/10!

My family and I have been going to Caliber Auto Repair in El Cajon for 12 years when they first started working out of their family residence garage, then to their present location in El Cajon 2 blocks from Parkway Plaza Mall. I have a family of 4 with, older cars, mini van and like most people a limited budget. I appreciate there personal service, great attention to detail, quality workmanship and most importantly they always consider my family budget. They have always been able look at my vehicle within one day, communicate diagnosis, give me repair options and price and repair within two to three days. They also have a fenced in lot and 4 service bays so I know that my vehicle is safe and secure while repairs are being made. I trust there service and do not hesitate to recommend them to my family and friends. Thanks

So my car broke down a few minutes away from Caliber Auto repair today (Christmas Eve). I called them up and they sent someone to come help me temp fix it to get it to their shop. After getting there they checked it out, called around, and found me multiple options to fix my car myself or in house. All the staff were awesome, super friendly, and helpful. They found me the part at autozone hooked me up with a temp fix to get there and home shook my hand and sent me on my way.... seriously some of the best service Ive ever received especially when dealing with automotive repair lol. Family feel to the place even fit with a dog I mean come on what more can you ask for :) thanks for everything guys you really saved the day. If your skeptical on where to go... this is the place.. no question. 5* ALL DAY!!!!
