This was my first visit to Pacific Motor Service to have my 12-year-old Escape checked out, and I was impressed. The service was great all-around. Kyle was very good at explaining the work that was needed and was honest and candid. Suspension, valve and oil pan work was done and the Escape drives and feels noticeably different! There was one miscommunication about cost, but that was responded to quickly. For the first time since my car's longtime shop closed, I have a place that I trust again.

Thank you for mentioning Kyle's efforts. Kyle has been with us for almost five years now and has done a fantastic job!! We have a lot of experience with Ford Escapes and many other makes and models including Japanese and European. We are also a AAA approved shop and boast a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty on parts and labor. I am happy to hear that you have found a shop you can trust!!

This garage told me it was ok to tow my car there and they would check it out but when I arrived they said I would have to wait a few days. I had to have the tow truck drop my car off somewhere else. The mechanic was very rude for no reason and very unprofessional about the situation. If you need help this isn’t the place to look try Padilla’s automotive if you need a better service! Pacific motors is unprofessional and very poor quality in service!!

Good afternoon Mr. Perez. I will fill in the blanks for our readers and give perspective in the areas you seem to be unwilling to be forthright and self-aware. When you called and asked if we could look at your car if you had it towed to us, we told you we could inspect it and diagnose the issue as soon as possible. It was 2:30 pm on Friday afternoon when you arrived and repeatedly demanded we look at you car immediately. We told you we would get someone on it as soon as they were able to free themselves from a job that was currently underway. While you were waiting, you were on the phone pacing back and forth at the entrance of our work area talking on the phone and blowing billowing clouds of vape from your vaping device into the work space of the technicians. Our Technician, the gentleman who was hurriedly completing his current task so he could look at your vehicle told you to get out of the work bay and blow your smoke somewhere else. Admittedly he might have been more polite, but as I understand it, you were very demanding and you were in an area that was not designated for you. Your expectations were unreasonable for the situation and your timing was unfortunate. We always make it a priority to treat every guest with world class service and prioritize them as well as possible. My concern with your review is that your reluctance to give an accurate account of the intent of our staff in misleading. Padilla does a nice job, but they are not comparable to the service and expertise we are able to provide our clientele. We are supremely professional and have a world class level of quality. Thank you very much! Sincerely, Jim Hayes General Manager

The team at Pacific Motor Service is professional and friendly. I trust them to help me keep my car running in peak performance. I appreciate how they proactively keep in touch with me when service milestones are due and how they make good recommendations based on what they know I want out of my car and the driving experience I enjoy. I have always taken my car to the dealership for service because I didn't know how to find a trustworthy car repair place I could trust. I had some bad experiences with independents in the past so the dealership seemed safe until someone I trusted recommended Pacific Motors. Now I don't see myself going anywhere else. Thank you!
