Auto Repair
Lu’s Auto Repair on San Marcos Blvd. My Lexus has 190,00 miles (2001) and it rides like new with the care and fair pricing I receive from Lou. I’ve been going there for ten years. It’s west of the 78 on the south side of the street.
We use Terry’s Auto on Descanso & Las Posas for our old, used BMW 5 SUV and he’s great! Knight’s did good work for my niece, nephew, former and current neighbors.

Paolo’s Auto Service. First honest and reliable mechanic I’ve ever come across. He’s off of Rancho Sante Fe towards the 78 — very close and has been there for over 25 years. I had to get a timing belt for my car and he told me exactly what he was going to do, showed me the old parts when I came back and charged me for exactly what he had said.

Last Thursday I had a minor car collision and spent the next day getting estimates. I was shocked that a 3 inch scratch in the paint was estimated from $1400-$1800, I shouldn’t have been concerned about the cost since it was the other drivers fault. Since it didn’t feel right to to present over inflated estimates. I put the word out to find a less expensive alternative. Then, A friend referred me to Quality Finish a mobile paint & body repair. Brian the owner came out gave me an estimate that was considerably less then the collision shops. Anyway Brian came back today and made the repair. I was shocked, the scratch in the paint was GONE! I couldn’t be happier with the results. I don’t make referrals too often, but Quality Finish did a bang up job! Brian was professional, courteous and did the repair in my driveway. So if you’re looking for a mobile paint and body repair, give Brian a call (760) 978-1310
We need to have our cable and electrical outlets moved in one room and the electrician we use for other things does not work with cable. Any recommendations for good, fair-priced people? Thanks!

I have recommended Marty and his team at Contract Carpet before but I now have even more reason to praise them. They installed some Mohawk carpet in two of my bedrooms about three years ago. I began noticing that it was not wearing well in many areas, especially those more tracked. I called Marty and he totally agreed it was wearing poorly and filed a claim with Mohawk. Well after two inspectors came out the company said it was due to corn rowing which is not a covered problem. No warning came with the design of carpet I chose stating that this could happen and not be covered and Marty was completely dissatisfied with how Mohawk handled the problem. Yesterday, Marty said he plans to replace my carpet at his expense since I am a good customer, paid a lot for a “quality” carpet and he wanted me to be happy and satisfied. Even though we tried hard to decline his offer, the team says they feel strongly about helping us and look forward to us choosing a new carpet. Now that is above and beyond customer service and I want to recommend anyone seeking floor coverings go to Contract Carpet. You will not be sorry.
Just wanted to share a great find with my neighbors- I’ve been so busy with my business, (Caregiving) that I haven’t found the time to clean my house! One of my patients had a great housekeeper, so I asked if she could come to my house. I’ve had her twice now and she does great work. Speaks English pretty well, but understands better 🙂 Very honest. Her name is Jenny 858-222-9507
Phyillis, more info for you. I had really nice man, Bill Smith at 619 417-5465, do my carpets and my neighbors. He worked out a really bad stain on my carpet. It is still like as new and I’m so pleased!

I highly recommend Tim Petrie (760/805-2991) if in need of computer repair. He has an ad in the Quail Call and I’ve used him for the past four years. Last week, when my computer just kept shutting down for no reason, Tim came to the rescue. It was a highly unusual problem and he had to come back four times, but not only was he patient, he didn’t charge me for the remaining two visits, and his prices are very reasonable. Please give him a try — you’ll be glad you did.
The Publisher of this site uses Tim for Computer Services. Great work and very fair prices!!

About 5 years ago he did work at my mother’s house when a neighbor’s tree fell on her roof. He did a fantastic job there also.If anyone is looking for a reliable, talented, and reasonably priced electrician, I highly recommend Tony Bogart, of Bogart Companies (Encinitas). He called me last evening and was to my house this morning to rewire and move a chandelier – and today was supposed to be a non-work day for him. Thanks Michael (from this site) for your recommendation. His number is 619-306-1882.New1d ago · 66 neighborhoods in Recommendations

Sorry to hear that Mrs Walker. There are a lot of illegal contractors and handymen here at the lake. They seem to thrive here for all the wrong reasons. Look up my profile. Perhaps I can help point you in the right direction.
Andrew Edwards of Standard West Builders is extremely well qualified. He is licensed and I have seen some of his work–really nice. He is at 760 586 1465 or andy@standardwestbuilders.com.
Marcelline, this is a contractor i have worked with on both of my projects, one here in Lake San Marcos when i moved in last year and on a large 1400 sq ft addition in Carlsbad a few years ago. Very good and easy to work with.
Joe is the Best. He is in the Quail call under clock repair. He takes care of all our clocks, even the antique ones.

Someone that can start right away may not be the best choice unless they are a huge builder. Someone that has steady work does a quality job because they get referrals. The people already mentioned may do quality work I’m not discounting their services. Darrin Murphy with Terracon General Contractors is usually busy but sometimes that’s a good thing if you know what I mean. 760-471-5265
I agree with Joe. I can recommend Tim Steeves (as noted above) and Bob Rounsville (CRS Construction) as very good GC’s who both live at the lake, but this is busy season for contractors and there’s a very high level of construction activity right now. I think you’ll need to get a bit lucky to find someone who’s very good and can also start immediately.
I just have to share with anyone who has a boat on the lake my experience having some engine work done. I hired Kyle Lancon 760-804-2766 from WOT Marine, an awesome young man who repaired the motor, charged a reasonable price and who was a complete pleasure.We often complain about bad work so I thought I’d mention my experience as an example of superb work.

Our dentist is celebrating 20 years in business. Father and son dentist group off Vista Way.

Late in January we needed a driver to take a relative to SD airport early on a Friday morning. I used Nextdoor’s recommendation board for the first time. JOHN MOREY, one of our neighbors, was recommended over and over again by people we know and know of. May I add our high recommendation to the growing list. Very professional (organized, timely, and provides a day before follow up call), has two size vehicles to accommodate any amount of baggage, safe driver, and friendly. Our daughter is a chatty type, even at the awful time of 6:15am, and she and John had a pleasant conversation on the way to the airport. His fee was more than reasonable — not fixed, but, “people usually pay me $. . .” He can be reached on his mobile at 714-862-0209.

Yesterday Terry Zinniger installed a new fire door for us. We thought it’d be a simple job. It wasn’t. But thankfully Terry, with knowledge and eye for detail, did it beautifully! We highly recommend him.
Just a quick note to those that referred or may think about using Adam Cruz roofing. He came out to give me an estimate that I agreed upon and then he stood me up three separate times. Very frustrating because he never called to cancel on any occasion, but said he would be here or we could reschedule, which I did. Finally, today he said he would be here at 8am, then changed it to 10-11. It is now 12:30. I just asked him when he would be here because I have other things to do with my day, and he said get someone else. Do not use Cruz roofing! He is extremely unprofessional, and a boldfaced liar. Takes a lot to get me to this place, but this guy wasted my time, and I am now starting from square one. Maybe this reference will save someone from the same trouble. Steve Marmor

I would like to recommend to anyone who is selling their home (whether it is in Lake San Marcos or not) that they use “The Davidson Group”. They found me the place here that is perfect for me, and they sold my old condo in San Diego for me in record time. So to add to that, if you are looking to buy a new property, I would highly recommend them as well. I have never worked with a better Real Estate Organization that is even close to their high level of service, and results!!
There are several well qualified agents that specialize in property here at the lake but I have to give a strong recommendation to Heide Warren. She not only did a great job selling our home in Varadero but also helped us find another home that we purchased here at the lake. She is a ball of energy who never stops working! Heide is awesome!
We just had the best gelato, and even better we didn’t have to drive far to get it at Cucina Amore, next to Nacho’s Taco shop. A perfect way to kick off the weekend, especially on a warm night;)

It’s no fun pulling trash cans in and out of the rain/wind and can be dangerous too. My 13 year old son, Jet, has a trash can business in LSM and has a few wonderful clients in our community that he loves to help out. For $10 a month, he will pull out/in your trash cans every week. If you’d like to sign up, please call or email me and we will put you on his route starting next week. If you need help pulling them in today, we can help with that too! 858-245-0292 or sarenamarie@yahoo.com

Hi! My name is Maria Andrea and I’ve been teaching / tutoring for 10+ years.

I had a section of my wrought iron fence that out rusted out at the bottom. Tanner Jarrett’s quote was 35% less than the only other bid I received (contacted 4 outfits, only 2 replied). While he was here installing the wrought iron section, I asked him to do a minor repair on my front gate, also wrought iron and to repait it. He did this, and it looks great! As part of the repair, the gate now closes just by pushing it closed instead of having to lift and push. My rating **** on 4 star max.
Also does large projects! Attached picture is of the gate,…Read moreSteve CardinalliPrivate messageView profile

Last Thursday I had a minor car collision and spent the next day getting estimates. I was shocked that a 3 inch scratch in the paint was estimated from $1400-$1800, I shouldn’t have been concerned about the cost since it was the other drivers fault. Since it didn’t feel right to to present over inflated estimates. I put the word out to find a less expensive alternative. Then, A friend referred me to Quality Finish a mobile paint & body repair. Brian the owner came out gave me an estimate that was considerably less then the collision shops. Anyway Brian came back today and made the repair. I was shocked, the scratch in the paint was GONE! I couldn’t be happier with the results. I don’t make referrals too often, but Quality Finish did a bang up job! Brian was professional, courteous and did the repair in my driveway. So if you’re looking for a mobile paint and body repair, give Brian a call (760) 978-1310

I highly recommend Mark Anthony Construction and Roofing. In the past 50+ years of dealing with contractors, both personally and professionally, he is the most professional contractor I have dealt with. He gave us a detailed quote that itemized how they would do the job. And then he did exactly what he quoted…

Yesterday Terry Zinniger installed a new fire door for us. We thought it’d be a simple job. It wasn’t. But thankfully Terry, with knowledge and eye for detail, did it beautifully! We highly recommend him.
Just a quick note to those that referred or may think about using Adam Cruz roofing. He came out to give me an estimate that I agreed upon and then he stood me up three separate times. Very frustrating because he never called to cancel on any occasion, but said he would be here or we could reschedule, which I did. Finally, today he said he would be here at 8am, then changed it to 10-11. It is now 12:30. I just asked him when he would be here because I have other things to do with my day, and he said get someone else. Do not use Cruz roofing! He is extremely unprofessional, and a boldfaced liar. Takes a lot to get me to this place, but this guy wasted my time, and I am now starting from square one. Maybe this reference will save someone from the same trouble. Steve Marmor
