We’ve been taking our cars here for years, with good reason. AWS really is the best. Caleb and crew are strongly committed to their craft and to their customers. I can’t tell you how many times they’ve gone above and beyond for us. Customers for life.
First time customer, where I called at the end of the day to see if AWS Automotive (AWS) could look into an improperly working fan motor on my son’s 2013 Mazda 3; I also asked for an oil change. To my surprise the shop was able to get me in first thing the next morning. AWS called me and gave me their preliminary…
They were excellent! Great price. When something felt a little off when I got my car back they fixed the issue and didn’t charge me anything. Keep in mind this was a big job. They had to pull the whole engine. They rock!
Update: Oct 6, 2025. AWS Automotive is the 'BEST'. I can't say enough about Caleb, Jason, and the technicians. As I expected, they went way over the top to make sure I received 5-star service. It's like they wouldn't settle for anything less. On all levels, they are professional, as well as polite, friendly.…
Prompt, thorough and professional, and awfully nice.
Caleb and his staff are amazing! Great, efficient work and no surprise price changes! I refer them every chance I get. Super honest in everything they do. 😊
One million stars! So friendly and professional, my car always leaves better than it went in. Very efficient and great prices, thank you AWS for making sure my vehicle is in tip-top condition!
Very happy with the top mechanics servicing my car.
Just moved in from Oceanside and my bug eye WRX was acting up. Found this great shop online and they got me back on the road in no time. They have earned my business from this point on, you will not be disappointed. I have now taken about 5 different vehicles now. Caleb and his crew are great and will get your…
i have an older SUV. The automatic lock on the back window failed leaving it permanently locked. The dealer charged $300.00 diagnosis to tell me the needed part was no longer made. AWS did a workaround and fixed it for $70.00
I had a battery on my Pruis replaced. It took a bit longer to get the right battery, but Caleb kept me up to date on every step. My car runs perfectly now. I great place to take your car!
AWS Automotive was a great experience... great location, friendly team and a quick turnaround! Will definitely be back.
Quick, easy, good location for me, reasonably priced.
Has a new water pump installed and the pump turned out to be faulty. Caleb made it right at no extra cost to me.
I am a long term customer that has always been very pleased with the service and advice I have received from these guys. I think they have built a very good reputation for themselves: friendly, trustworthy and competent for many years now.
They serviced my car in a professional manner, finished the work in a timely manner for a price that was reasonable. A good, solid job.
Always great service. The only issue is if you make an appointment via their website, it doesn’t work (no one contacts you). Best to just call the office. The website thing is a new issue, as in the past this seemed to work.
Stay away from AWS at all costs, they take a week just to look at your car, and then charge you 150 DOLLARS to do so. I was charged 800 dollars in pure labor alone just to replace an oil cooler when the part alone runs no more than 200 dollars. Not to mention the additional 150 they charge for looking at it. Plus…
Caleb and his team did a great job replacing my vehicle’s fuel injector and battery. Great customer service and professionalism.
Caleb always takes care of what I need and nothing more. Super professional as always and I continue to bring my cars here for repairs
