Our story
Your Neighborhood Mechanic
We are a Chula Vista auto repair shop built on plain talk and fair work. When a customer's oil pan did not need replacing, we told them so instead of running up the bill. When a dealer could not solve a customer's problem, we found the real issue: new tires, not an expensive repair.
Our team, including longtime technician Bernie, treats every car like it is our own. We would rather earn your trust with an honest diagnosis than a quick sale.
From oil changes to brake work to tracking down stubborn warning lights, we handle the everyday jobs that keep your car running well.
- Honest, no-upsell diagnostics
- Stayed open late to help a customer with a flat tire
- Diagnosed an issue other shops and the dealer missed
- Customers drive from well outside Chula Vista for service
What customers say
“I cannot speak highly enough about 1st Stop Car Care. I had an issue with my Acura RDX that no one including the dealer could figure out. They all had high cost solutions that did not make sense. I was introduced this place by another customer who travels 25 mi to only do business with this place. I gave them a shot and I was not disappointed. They diagnosed the problem which was simply new tires. This is my go-to place for servicing my cars.”
“Professional and honest work. We brought our car for an oil change, and Bernie did an excellent job. He went above and beyond. We almost had it done at Evans tire down the street because we had a coupon. We are so glad we didn't. They wanted to change the oil pan and it wasn't even necessary. Again, thank you Bernie and 1st stop car care.”
