Oceanside Auto Repair

I took my 1968 Camaro to Mastertech because my brakes, which were manual drum, had been steadily degrading to the point that I began to question the safety of keeping them. I initially spoke to Nate about the possibility of swapping out the drum brakes for disc brakes on all four corners, as well as giving the motor a good once-over to detect any potential problems and optimize its running condition. I brought the Camaro in and Nate, Lou and I gave it a once over and discussed the best way forward based on my initial input and desired end-state. This was a professional conversation with a solid personal aspect. I know that some people are “all business,” but I prefer to build a rapport with the people I deal with and Nate and Lou gave me exactly what I was looking for. Over the course of the job, I received frequent updates and the majority of the conversations included the “this will work, but this other way would work better,” all based on my personal vision and desired way forward. This was important to me, because I’m not really into the super high-end upgrades that result in a race car, but more interested in having a solid cruiser without breaking the bank. I especially liked Lou’s approach to the work, as he clearly is a classic car aficionado and I could tell that he really puts some love into the job when working on one. Several times I was invited in to see the progress and Lou and Nate were always willing to take some time out of their day to go over the progress, as well as show me around other project cars that were in the shop. Overall I was extremely satisfied with the end result, which is a much stronger and better running motor and brakes that give me the confidence that they’ll work! I’ll certainly recommend Mastertech to anyone interested quality workmanship in the future and I’ll be bringing my Camaro in as my rebuild continues! Well done guys! You have a new customer for life!

I took my 96 Toyota in and had the slave and master sylinder replaced and its runnin better than ever! I highly recommend taking your vehicle to Nate and the guys at Mastertech! They do awesome fast and quality work! I will definitely be going back! Thanks Mastertech!!

Great team, great customer service and good prices. If you want your car taken care of this is the place to go!

As stated we were on our way to DEL Mar car show. The owner took personal care of my 70 Chevelle. Their attention to detail was impeccable. VERY personal and professional service . I appreciate your help when needed Wish you were in Orange County. Thanks Guys ! Dan Carter YORBA Linda , CA

Nate and his crew at Mastertech where extremely kind and helpful. As most people know, warranty company's try to wiggle out of their obligations as much as possible, but nate spent hours on the phone fighting for me. They also take pride in their work. Nate found more flaws with my car and did not let the car leave till it was running like a top. They also are very fairly priced.

My buddy Dan and I were on our way to the Good Guys Delmar car show when our 1970 Chevelle started giving us some trouble. We tried several different auto shops and none were able to get us in immediately. Finally we came across Master Tech and not only did they get us in right away but they treated the car like it was their own and took pride in their work. They were very knowledgeable and diagnosed the problem immediately! They had us back on the road within an hour! I was thinking it was going to be a few hundred dollars for this kind of service but to our satisfaction it was extremely affordable. I wish we had a MasterTech in North Orange county! Thank Guys!

Not only does MasterTech do excellent work with regular vehicle maintenance, they are willing to tackle complex and difficult repairs that the vast majority of repair shops wouldn't even attempt. I needed to have the entire electrical wiring harness replaced on my 1997 BMW Z3 - they located and procured a used harness and successfully installed it. The only other option for this work would have been at a BMW dealership, at a cost probably double what MasterTech charged. Their work is excellent and reasonable in price. They are now the only business I'll use for service and repair of my three vehicles.

I had a great experience here. Nate was really professional communicated with me throughout my repairs. I was referred here by a AAA tow truck driver when I thought my Volvo's transmission had failed. Nate had their mechanic look at my car that evening to find it was only a broken cv axle, and my car was ready by 10am the next day. This is a place I will definitely be coming back to.

I called in yesterday hoping to get my van checked out this morning. I was able to make an appointment for this morning and ended up dropping my van off last night. I called in this morning to let them know the van is outside and a man named Nate I talked to let me know I had to fill out an envelope and release the van before the could do anything. Very understandable - I get there are liability issues. After Nate tells me I need to come in to release the van he then continues to tell me it's going to be a $150 diagnostic fee and an additional $50 fee just to pop the hood of my van. He failed to mention both of these things when I called yesterday and when I told him that none of this was mentioned before his response was "well, did you ask?" So, thank you Nate for steering me away from being ripped off and for being highly unpleasant. I'm quite happy you won't be getting my business. I highly recommend to anyone reading this to go any where else. Maybe it's just Nate that doesn't know how to do business properly, who knows. Just wanted to let everyone else know my experience.

Great shop. Took care of my vehicle right away. Nate in the front office was knowledgeable and helpful. Rick did a great job fixing the problem with my TPMS in my tires in a hurry and got me back on the road. Thanks.
