Our story

Customers who came in the '90s still come back

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.

  • Trusted by customers since the 1990s
  • Straight answers: we repair only what needs repairing
  • Work backed by warranty
  • Open six days a week, 8:00 AM – 6:30 PM
