Our story
We are Arroyo Auto Center, a Pasadena repair shop built on plain talk and careful work. Customers come to us with everything from daily commuters to a hand-picked Lotus Elise or a well-loved Porsche 944, and we treat each one with the same attention.
We walk customers through the cost and the process before we start, and if something turns out to be simpler than expected, we say so. When we finish a repair, we check the surrounding components too, at no extra charge, so small issues do not turn into bigger ones later.
Many of our customers keep coming back for oil changes, brake work, and everything in between because they know exactly what they are getting: a clear explanation, a fair price, and a job done right.
What customers say
“Jim is absolutely the best. I brought in an '86 Porsche 944 that was quoted an arm and a leg at other shops; Jim is priced very reasonable but certainly does not skimp on quality. I went in for various engine and chassis work, car drives absolutely perfect thanks to Jim.”
“Jim was the best. Had my car up and running within 24hrs after needing lots of work done to it. He was friendly and communicative and made me feel like I was in good hands.”
“The quality of their suspension repair work was outstanding. My car now feels like it's gliding on air. The pricing was reasonable, and they even went the extra mile by inspecting other components for no additional cost.”
