A-1 Auto Tech

We were recommended to this spot from a good friend. Unfortunately, we did not get good service. They took a look at the car and they had a puzzled look in their face. We were trusting that they would identify the problem. Next thing we know they are asking us to order an item that they can’t find, which we did and delivered. Following that we went and tried it out and it still was not working properly. Now it’s 2 weeks in and they say we can come and get it. We got the repair and an oil change, well that was the longest and most expensive oil change because a few months later the same issue was happening. We took it across the street to a repair spot and they had the item, the repair, AND a warranty in their receipt within the day. It’s been 5 months and our car is running smoothly. Ours is an older model so this may not be their strength and they we unable to back up their work when we called to let them know of the issue.

For the past three weeks, my car had been reminding me that oil maintenance was required soon. «Meh,» I thought. I’ll get to it once the light comes on.
But then… I decided to take a trip to San Diego for the weekend. Although the oil change light hadn’t come on yet, I chose to get the job done… just in case. Luckily, one of my friends had the hooks to A-​1 Auto Tech, so I headed over as soon as my bags were packed.
When I drove in, I was greeted by a Korean guy, to whom I explained I needed an oil change. He took my car and started getting to work with another fellow, but after taking off the tires and checking some stuff (no idea — I’m quite lacking in knowledge of automobiles), he came over and urged me that I needed to get my brake pads replaced. Huh? I didn’t even know what brake pads were. I ended up having to call daddy K., who agreed that it was time to change the brake pads. And so, I gave the guy the green light to work his magic.
I’m not sure how long it usually takes to get an oil change and brake pad replacements, but I was in and out of there in less than thirty minutes, which was great because I wanted to beat traffic on I-​5. The total came out to $ 225, which apparently is a good deal according to my car enthusiast friends.
My car no longer greets me with the oil maintenance reminder, and the brakes no longer squeak. That’s all I needed, and A-​1 delivered!
