Rene’s Auto Electric

Took my 1971 Chevelle here and Hugo went out of his way to fix my problem. He showed me exactly what the problem was and fixed a couple of more issues. If you have electrical issues on your automobile then take it here!

Helpful. Pleasant. Knowledgeable. Took my 96 Tahoe in for «parasitic draw» problem. Battery was draining while truck was off. They diagnosed the radio was the problem and replaced it with one from a local salvage yard. In one day and back the next at a very reasonable cost.

Great price, great service. Cant beat it, knowledgable technician that was fast and knows exactly how to troubleshoot.
The map showing the location in Unilocal is a little off. Just give them a call and they will direct you.
They repaired my power window motor. Best price in town with 1 year warranty.
Worth calling for a price quote.
They also take credit card

Great place i have a custom car brought over to them i had something drainning my battery, fixed it. I plan on bringing them another car 1966 buick electric window problem and winshield wiper knob is missing and stem see if they can get them working

I disagree with the guy that says this isn’t a top notch place, it might be a little shitty but his work is top notch, professional, clean and straight up honest.
I came here to check out a malfunctioning headlight, turned out a cable was just lose, he showed me what was wrong and fixed it in 2 minutes for only 10 bucks.
I highly recommend this place to everyone, no problems here!

I purposely waited to review Rene and his shop to make sure the work wasn’t a short term fix, and I am not disappointed.
The first problem I had Rene address was a battery drain problem. I dropped the truck off at about 9am on a sat and he was able to diagnose the problem and fix it by about 4pm the same day. Bad AC relay. Tab was $ 160. And as i mentioned before it was the legitimate solution as I have had no problems since.
A second follow up problem I had was that the horn didn’t work. While the solution is a story, to sum up the fix was less than 2 minutes, he shook my hand and had me on my way.
Definitely no complains here. Would deal again with electrical problems.

rene’s auto is the bomb i have had lots of work done at his shop price right good service i will see you soon thanks

I drove down from the OC to Chula Vista because it’s always cheaper to get work done on a car in SD than OC. Rene fixed my car power window quickly and at a good price. They had to remove the left rear door panel and replace the window regulator to get it working and it cost me $ 177.96 total. The window works great now. I’d recommend Rene to anyone who needs similar work done on their car.

One of my power windows stop working. I went to Unilocal and I found
several reviews on Rene’s Auto Electric. I went to go to check it out.
I met Rene seem very helpful and friendly and professional. My bill was about $ 180. I’m pretty sure most other places would have charged me a hundred or 200 more. I had work done previously at other places and that seems to be the norm. The work was all done in one day. He handed me my receipt and guaranteed his work for a year.
The work is done in a small shop in a side street in Chula Vista off Broadway. If you’re looking for a posh upscale place this is not it. If you’re looking for an honest man doing honest work then you found him.

The best auto electric shop in South Bay! Rene (the owner) is super cool and gets te job done fast! My car’s alternator was not working. He rebuilt the alternator the same day and i was able to drive off with my car. The price was perfect — if you have auto electric problems this is the place to go!

I had a problem with my car and I took it to the dealership where I was quoted at $ 750. I felt I was being ripped off. A friend was referred to Rene’s Auto Electric.
After explaing to the owner Rene, what the problem the dealership said it had, he asked me to take the car in.
Half hour later, my car was fixed. Rene not only fixed the problem but took the time to explain to me what needed to be fixed. As it turns out, it wasn’t what the dealership originally stated.
It’s good to know there are still hard working, small business owners that are honest.
If anyone is looking for a honest, legit place to get your car needs fixed, Rene’s Auto Electric in Chula Vista is the place to go too.

I was recently experiencing some electrical problems on my car. Nothing serious really, just a power window that wouldnt go up or down. Apparently the panel housing that also contains the window power switch had come loose over time and some wires had broken off.
Looks like someone before tried to splice some wires together going to the window power switch. Judging from the quality of the work it looks like the person was either a «shade tree mechanic» or a total amatuer.
This was my work car so I didnt want to spend alot of money on the repairs. I didnt have any ideal of where I should take my car to have it fixed. This was before my «Yelping» days so I called Victor of Eddie’s Tires and Mufflers to see who they reccomended for auto electric work. Please see my review for Eddie’s Tires and Mufflers.
Victor, the shop manger at Eddie’s Tires and Mufflers stated that Rene’s Auto Electric is the place to go! He said that they are honest, reputable, and will not rip you off! Well, the guys at Eddie’s Tires and Mufflers operate thier business on the same high standards so thier word is «gold» with me!
Rene’s Auto Electric is not readily visible from the street. You have to turn into an alley and drive a short distance untill you see the shop on the right hand side.
I pulled up, met Rene, described my problem, went up the street for some lunch, and by the time I returned the repairs had been completed. He also fixed and sealed my power window panel assembly.
The bill came out to be only $ 40 and now I can roll my windows down!
This shop can perform repairs on both foreign and domestic automobiles.
The price was right and the work good. Next time I have any auto electric issues Im going back to Rene’s Auto Electric!
