OUR REPUTATION

“California Carburetor and Auto Repair” has been under the same ownership since 1991. We are a full service auto repair shop and specialize in carburetor rebuilding. We don’t believe in up-sells. We operate with quality, fairness, and integrity.

  • We are a highly experienced and knowledgable team.

  • We don’t rush our work or compromise quality.

  • We stay current with industry standards.

And we don’t cut corners.

EQUIPPED

We have necessities to diagnose and repair a variety of needs:
  • Newer computer-controlled vehicles with “check engine” light, or electrical problems

  • Drivability issues, chassis, suspension, brake and steering concerns

  • Manufacturer’s scheduled maintenance

  • Older pre-computer vehicles – a lost art at many shops!

PROFESSIONAL

You shouldn’t have to be the one to research and ask all the questions.

That’s our job. A true expert will have enough knowledge and experience to make the diagnosis and execute the solution effectively. Don’t accept anything less. When you bring us your vehicle, know that you have diligent professionals with your best interests at heart. We will ask YOU the right questions and do the proper testing with honest recommendations that don’t include unnecessary spending.

FAIR

Our hourly rate for vehicles 1990 and up is $135. For vehicles 1989 and below is $160.

Sure, you can call around and stand a decent chance of getting a quote for less. But we aren’t striving to be the cheapest, nor are we the most expensive. We want to give you value – great service at a fair price. Our quality parts are reasonably priced. Cheaper parts might save you in the short-term, but land you right back at the shop long-term. We want it done right, from the beginning.

OWNER

OUR PRINCIPLES:

I believe what the Bible says and run this business by those principles. We will never sell you anything you don’t need. If we see a part that has some wear, we will only recommend replacement if that’s what we would do, were it our own car. Many parts that have some wear still have useful life left in them. If that’s the case, we make you aware, and try to approximate how much time you have left on it. This business is run with integrity and we strive to give the best service to all our customers. When you give us your business, you are putting your trust in us. We will always honor your trust and do our best to make your experience a good one.

Sincerely,

Tim

REVIEWS

“I want to thank you all for your hard work, your patience, and your professionalism. Your technical prowess and attention to detail is unsurpassed. I am thoroughly satisfied with the service my car received while in your care. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to refer your business to any of my family and friends.”

Eric Moreau

“These guys are great! Tim is very knowledgeable and honest. Shop is clean and well organized. He really wants you as a loyal happy customer. (smart business model). I have a classic old Falcon Convertible and he has it running perfect. Starts every time with very little effort, never breaks down, all dialed in. Tim put a dual header on my straight six and it sounds bad ass! Hope they are always there because he is the go to guy for my car.”
