Bad experience, the staff member was very rude and insolent. I don't recommend it, but if you want, you can go and see for yourself.

By chance I was looking for an automotive repair shop and a commercial for West El Cajon Automotive & Transmissions came on, did a little research of my own and took my car in for service. I found the service personal to be courteous, professional and willing to take the time to answer any questions I may have had. I for sure will be returning for any future car repairs.

Most efficient protocol ive ever seen in an auto repair facility. Professionalism is shown at the service writers desk, to the phone calls to the pick up and explination of the work performed. My F-350 has not run/stopped/turned this well since new! I am amazed!

I owe an apology to Brian the owner of West Automotive group. My previous 1 star post was inaccurate. Brian did contact me and we came to an agreement. This company does care about their customers.
