Bob, the mechanic, kept me well informed throughout the day. He called early to tell me what repairs he needed to fix and provided very accurate estimates. He also gave me options. I felt that Ray Frey Auto Service Center was worth taking their advice. Also I had him remove the fogged corrosion from the plastic head…
Not often you can find a shop you can trust to get it right. From services to complex repairs I’ve been using Ray Frey for repairs on our cars to HD truck for many years. Ray stands behind his techs and makes sure the job is done right and stays with it if there are issues.
These guys are the best. Fixed every issue I’ve had promptly at a fair price. They really do their homework too before making major repairs. Their electronics guy Miles, is a world class diagnostician.
Smooth and no BS. Done what needs to be done and cleaned the car too. Great team.
Truck, 2006, GMC Sierra 1500, V8, 5.3 liter. Check engine light came on, code P0446. Mechanic did a great job, with Diagnostic Identitying and providing, report, solution and repair. Also at the same time, I had a tune up, replacing spark plugs and spark plug wires. When I picked up my truck, it had also been…
I recently had another outstanding experience at Ray Frey Auto Center and felt compelled to share just how exceptional their customer care truly is. From the moment I arrived, the team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely focused on making the repair process as smooth and stress-free as possible. They took…
Take your vehicle to this place. The trust and communication is the best in the business. Ray and the family care about getting your vehicle right. No one better in the area
Very thorough and helpful. I brought in a bunch of bolts and left with a solid vehicle. Very helpful team!
Lengthy but honest review: I have been essentially metal to metal on my rear passenger side brakes for a couple months and it got to the point that I just couldn’t ignore the grind and rub anymore (plz I’m just a girl so save the opinions). One reason I waited so long is because it’s hard to find a mechanic that…
Most trusted mechanic I've ever been to
Ray Frey is a righteous establishment. I have been taking my vehicles there for 2 years. They are my FIRST choice if one of my vehicles needs attention. Reliable, experienced, trustworthy and affordable. I just took my wife’s Range Rover Velar there for a complete tune-up, her coolant hose needed to be replaced and…
All work was done as promised and at a great price. The auto was also very well cleaned while there. Thank you.
I've been bringing my car's to Ray Frey for years..Ray is an honest straight shooter...I highly recommend Ray Frey's Auto Service. Tammy Smith
I have been going to Ray Frey for about five years and recommend him to everyone I know. He is straightforward, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, as are his staff, and mechanics. The work is top-notch and you get the added treat of a car wash after every service. I highly recommend this business
Ray Frey auto center is the pinnacle of family owned business. They treat you like family and are far above the standard for customer service. My needs were meet effectively and immediately. I would recommend Ray and his team to any and everyone in the San Diego area!
What can I say, why would you go anywhere but to Ray Frey. Ray and Bob are the consummate leaders in auto mechanics knowledge, repairs and customer service. My kudos! That's the reason I've been taking my autos to Ray and Bob for almost 30 years.
Great service at reasonable prices. An auto center you can trust and will not take advantage of the non mechanical individuals, women in particular. Highly recommended.
Excellent. Highly recommend. Ray gives solid advice about your car. Doesn’t go overboard on recommending repairs. Trustworthy, honest and responsive.
Excellent service as always!
There has been a long-standing reputation among Americans for this place. There is no doubt that Ray is an excellent manager and that his business runs smoothly. Their quotes and quality of service are both good. I will definitely recommend it to my friends.
