At Block Auto Repair, we believe that honest mechanical work is more than just a job—it’s a legacy. Based right here in Sunny San Diego, we bring a "no-nonsense" approach to car care that you won't find at the big dealerships. Our founder is a Chicago native who traded the lakefront for the Pacific, bringing that Midwest work ethic along for the ride. As a U.S. Navy Veteran, he carries the values of integrity, discipline, and attention to detail into every engine bay. When we say we’ll get the job done right, we mean it. Our founder grew up at the feet of a master, learning the trade from his father—a legendary diesel mechanic with 52 years of experience. That half-century of knowledge was passed down through greasy hands and hard-earned lessons, ensuring that "old school" expertise meets modern automotive technology. We don't just fix cars; we honor a family tradition of excellence. We treat your vehicle like it’s our own.
