We understand the unique needs of Santa Rosa drivers — from daily commuters on Highway 101 to families navigating the busy streets around Coddingtown Mall and Montgomery Village.

Over nearly 30 years, we have served thousands of Santa Rosa families. Our ASE and ATRA Certified technicians specialize in all aspects of automotive repair, with particular expertise in transmission service that has made us the go-to shop for Sonoma County.

Santa Rosa sits at the heart of Sonoma County with a population of 178,000+, making it the largest city in the Wine Country region. The combination of urban commuting on Highway 101, winding wine country roads, and hilly terrain in areas like Bennett Valley and Fountaingrove puts extra demands on your vehicle.

We take a transparent approach to every repair. You get a detailed inspection, clear explanation of what is needed and what can wait, and upfront pricing before any work begins.

Auto Repair for Santa Rosa's Unique Driving Conditions

Highway 101 Commuters

Daily highway driving puts extra stress on your transmission, brakes, and cooling system. Stop-and-go traffic between Santa Rosa and the Golden Gate Bridge accelerates wear on critical components. We check for early signs of highway wear during every service.

Wine Country Roads

Winding roads through the Sonoma Valley, Russian River area, and up to the coast put unique demands on your steering, suspension, and transmission. Hilly terrain means more braking and shifting — we keep those systems in peak condition.

Wildfire Season Readiness

Santa Rosa knows the importance of emergency preparedness. Keep your vehicle evacuation-ready with regular maintenance — battery health, tire condition, brakes, and fluid levels. A breakdown during an evacuation is not an option.

Year-Round Weather

From hot, dry summers that stress cooling systems to wet winters that challenge wipers and tires, Santa Rosa weather demands a well-maintained vehicle. Our seasonal inspections catch problems before they leave you stranded.

Why Santa Rosa Trusts Us

Dual certification means our technicians meet the highest standards for both general auto repair and transmission specialist work.

What Santa Rosa Customers Say

As a mom with three kids, I need my van running perfectly. They fixed my squeaky brakes and got my AC blowing cold again just in time for summer. The staff treated me like family and explained everything clearly.

Jennifer M.Santa Rosa

2015 Toyota Sienna

My car was running rough and getting terrible gas mileage. The tune-up they performed made an incredible difference — it runs like new and I'm saving on gas. They really know their stuff.

Amanda F.Santa Rosa

2018 Nissan Altima

My car started overheating on Highway 101. They sent someone to tow me in, diagnosed a failed water pump, and had it fixed same-day. The price was reasonable and they gave me a ride home.

Lisa R.Rohnert Park

2019 Mazda CX-5

AC died during the heat wave. They squeezed me in, found a refrigerant leak, fixed it properly, and recharged the system. Cold air in under 2 hours!
