From the business
In the shop's own words: “A Family Business Built on Straight Answers”
Universal Automotive is run by a father and son team who believe a repair shop should tell you the truth about your car, not sell you a list of extras. Customers come back year after year because the diagnosis matches the fix, and the price matches the work.
We handle everything from a check engine light to a full smog check, and we do it at rates that stay well below the shops around us. Our diagnostic fee and labor rate are both $95 an hour, and smog checks run $25, a fraction of what most shops in town charge.
We are open six days a week, including Saturdays, because car trouble does not wait for a weekday. Bring it in and we will give you a plain answer about what it needs.
- Family owned and operated
- Diagnostic fee matches labor rate
- Smog checks at $25
