Central Auto Repair, Lake Elsinore CA

I found them to be fair with their prices compared to several others. I was happy to find a shop that seemed honest and upfront. I compared their prices on other services and this shop had better prices. I've only used them twice and I'm happy with everything so far. I will keep you posted if there is any changes to my feelings about these guys.

Horrible place BEWARE. I came into this place telling them I had a bad radiator I’ve already run my own tests and they insisted to do a full diagnostic to let it sit over night to pressure test my van 150$. I have to get a rental car to go to work etc.he calls me next day saying they ran a full pressure test and that it was my temp gauge. He charged 450 for a sensor and I agree because it is my work van in the shop and I need it up and running for work which is why when he said diagnostic I want to know every issue down to the windshield wipers being bad because I can’t keep going back and forth I need everything done at once. Sure enough I go and pick up the van and my tire warning comes on from there warehouse which was not on before 5 minutes after driving I now have a flat tire, service engine comes on and I still have coolant leaking I take it back to them so they can inspect it and claim the flat tire was not from them and that I don’t have a coolant leak. They tell me their work could have tripped a sensor so he reset the sensor and tells me it’s all done. After I drive it for one more day I now have no coolant, he did not diagnose anything because he did not even know about a oil leak that I have and now I am down a 1000 dollars between tire 250, car rental 225, diagnostics 150, and 450 for a sensor lol. Hopefully this will help you know the mechanic your dealing with
