    Awesome experience! Great communication and pricing. Worked to get my wife’s Wrangler back on the road through the holiday week. Shout out to Dalton and Josh for always by the phone and they even helped get the core transmission back to the company we bought the reman from. Happy New Year to you all!

    Brand new to me. Hyper sensitive going into this new place with my long time most dependable California friend, my 2002 Ford deisal truck. These guys didn't disappoint. Off again to beautiful places to explore from Oceanside CA.

    I was recently referred to West Oceanside Automotive Group by AAA for what I thought was a warranty issue with my AAA battery. It turned out AAA had sent me to the wrong place, as West doesn’t even stock AAA batteries. Many shops would have simply turned me away, but the team at West handled my situation with professionalism and genuine helpfulness. In particular, Josh Fife, Manager/Service Consultant, went above and beyond. Instead of brushing me off, he had my battery charged overnight, tested it thoroughly, and determined it was perfectly fine. That level of care and integrity is rare these days. I’ve been a AAA Plus customer for nearly 20 years, and while AAA service is usually an “A” I’d give West Automotive Group an “A+.” Their handling of my case speaks volumes about the kind of service they provide: respectful, thorough, and customer‑first, even when the issue wasn’t theirs to solve. They will absolutely be at the top of my list whenever I have an automotive need they actually DO service. As the saying goes, you can tell a lot about people by how they treat those who come to them in less‑than‑ideal circumstances. Josh Fife and the West Oceanside Automotive Group team proved they are the kind of professionals you can trust — the kind you don’t often find anymore.
