Our story

Meet HK Auto Care

At HK Auto Care, we believe you should understand exactly what's wrong with your car before we touch a wrench. Customers walk out with photos and videos of the actual problem, plus a plain explanation of what it will take to fix it and why.

We work on everything from daily drivers to Mercedes and other German makes, handling brake installs, engine diagnostics, and the preventive maintenance that keeps a small repair from turning into a big one.

When a repair doesn't hold, we make it right. One customer's oil pressure issue took extra days of work to fully resolve, and we didn't charge a cent for the return trip. That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every car that comes through the door.

  • Photo and video updates on every repair
  • Extra depth on German and European makes
  • Stands behind every repair
  • Often ready the same day

What customers say

“Mr. Shin is the most honest, hard working car mechanic I've ever hired. He will text you details on what exactly he worked on with your car and send you videos so you never feel misinformed or misled into paying too much like with most car mechanics I've hired in the past.”

Matt Berg

“I took my Mazda 3 in for a brake install and engine service. I had my car back in the same day. They really kept me up to date on what was needed and made me feel comfortable.”

doug mayle

“Shin is an excellent and honest mechanic. He immediately diagnosed the problem and personally showed me what the issue was in my car. When I picked it up, he further educated me on some tips for preventive maintenance that would save me a lot of money in the long run.”
