Our story

A Shop El Cajon Families Trust

For years, families across El Cajon have brought their cars to Sun Auto Repair and kept coming back. Customers tell us their kids grew up watching a parent pull into our lot, then started bringing their own vehicles in once they got their license.

We built our reputation the old fashioned way: honest diagnoses, fair prices, and repairs done right the first time. When a Subaru owner's issue stumped shops that called themselves specialists, our techs, including longtime mechanic Twin, figured it out and fixed it for good.

Whether it's a same-day gear cable repair or a water pump swap on a tight schedule, we treat every car, and every customer, like family.

  • Family owned and operated
  • Honest, straight-talk diagnoses
  • Fair, reasonable pricing
  • Trusted across generations of customers

What customers say

“Excellent mechanic. My dad has been going here for years after a friend of his recommended Sun Auto. Twin is a very knowledgeable man and does great work at a reasonable price.”

Nina C

“These people are amazing. Brought my Chevy Malibu in on Saturday and they managed to fix the issue with my gear cable in an hour or so at a VERY reasonable price. Polite and friendly too!”

TheBasedOne

“My dad has used them for over 15 years and I've been using them since I started driving at 17 and I'm 35 now. They know what there doing and trust them with my vehicles every time. Honest mechanics are hard to find and these guys are one of only a few trust worthy shops”
