Encinas Automotive opened on South Peoria Avenue in 1993 on a simple idea: treat every customer's car — and their wallet — the way you'd want your own treated. No scare tactics, no unnecessary work, just an honest evaluation and a fair price.
More than thirty years later, that idea hasn't changed. It's why so many of our customers have been with us for 20 years, some for 30 — and why they keep sending their friends and family through our doors.
We work on all makes and models, and every diagnosis starts the same way: we tell you what's actually wrong, what it will cost, and let you decide. If something isn't necessary, we'll say so, even if another shop wouldn't.
No gimmicks — just honest work and fair pricing, applied consistently for over thirty years.
We tell you exactly what's wrong with your vehicle — and just as importantly, what isn't wrong with it.
If a repair can wait, or isn't needed at all, we'll tell you. Our recommendations are based on your car, not a sales target.
You'll know the cost before we start, explained plainly, with no hidden line items when you pick up your keys.
Experienced technicians working on everyday vehicles day in, day out — the kind of familiarity that only comes with decades on the job.
A family-owned shop where the same standards have applied since 1993 — because our name has been on the door the whole time.
