We repair only what needs repairing. Nothing more.
Our story
El Pepe Auto Repair has been keeping cars on the road from our shop on East 1st Street in Santa Ana, and our customers tend to stay customers. One of them has been coming to us since 1996, for a simple reason: we repair only what needs repairing. Eric and the crew handle the diagnosis and the work themselves, and they'll tell you plainly what your car needs and what it doesn't. That's how we've earned a 4.7-star rating and a reputation as one of the best shops in Orange County. We're open Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM. Saturdays fill up fast and we book up quickly, so call early, or come by another day of the week and we'll get you in.
What customers say
“I have been using Pepe's since '96 and keep coming back because they are honest and repair only what needs repairing. I trust them. Especially Eric”
“This Mechanic shop is one of the best in Orange County, you need to get there early though because they get booked up real quick. You can not go wrong, talk to eric.”
“Eric is great. They are busy on Saturdays, so if you can, go any other day of the week. Fast service and great price.”
