Gearheads - Oceanside (CA)

5 /5 Cole Welty: Had my brakes done here awhile back. The price was fair, and the work was done quickly. I would 100% recommend this shop if you’re a car enthusiast. You can do DIY work here in a shop setting, and if you get in over your head pass it off to a legit mechanic.

5 /5 Rachel Bailey: Replaced a head gasket in my cheap 2014 hyundai for less than a third what a dealership was asking (like $10k!) Showed me the part and everything; a cylinder had somehow gotten a hole in it, right on top. Shop owner didnt pressure extra work to be done, in fact I had to convince him to have the brakes fixed up because they were at 3mm and I definitely felt it was harder to stop than it used to be. They work awesome now. I trust this shop and honestly for this expensive area its shocking you dont feel ripped off. A few thousand put into a paid off car is still far less than a new payment and insurance on a new one! Plus new cars all are pretty boring compared to my neon hatchback XD

5 /5 Adrain Johnson: I had a great experience with Gearheads. Brad was a straight shooter—honest, knowledgeable, and didn’t try to upsell me on anything I didn’t actually need. He took the time to explain what was necessary and what could wait, which I really appreciated. You don’t find too many shops like this one anymore—where integrity and customer care come before profit. Highly recommend Gearheads if you want reliable, no-BS service. I will be back here for all of my truck services.

5 /5 Cody Talley: Exactly what I needed to replace sway bar links on My SUV, The lift was a huge help. Was slow for a Saturday morning and was able to get in with no issues without a reservation. Will be back for some other repairs that im lining up.

4 /5 Tara Juergens: This us a great place to work in your own car. They have lifts, all kinds of tools, including air powered and impact drivers, all part of the $30 an hour price you pay. Its only $15 an hour if you pay a yearly membership fee. They also have guys to help. They were a bit over it today, but it was pretty hot in the shop. Still, its in Oceanside, so it never gets too, too hot.
