Our story

About C K Auto Repair & Brakes

C K Auto Repair & Brakes is a San Diego shop built around one idea: treat the customer the way you'd want to be treated. Carlos greets every car himself, walks through what's wrong in plain language, and calls afterward to make sure the fix actually solved the problem.

We handle the full range of repair work, from routine oil changes and brake pads to complete engine replacements. When a customer brought in a 2004 F150 for a new 5.4L engine, we sent it back out clean enough to check the oil without gloves, and it's still running strong today.

Whether you're new to San Diego and looking for a mechanic you can rely on, or you've been coming to National Ave for years, we want your visit to be easy and your car to be fixed right the first time.

What customers say

“I was very nervous being a young lady coming in to get my car worked on not knowing anything about cars. I want people to know that not only was I treated with respect and kindness, but most importantly, Carlos is very trustworthy and he and his team did an excellent job on my Honda Accord. Even called me afterward to make sure that I'm OK and the car works great and that I'm happy. I am very, very happy.”

Ashley Petersen

“I'm new to this area and unfortunately wore out my break pads and disks on my Honda, so finding a trusty mechanic can be some work. As soon as I got here, Carlos greeted me, very friendly, and asked how he could assist me. Carlos was a great help and helped me with an oil change, break pads & disks. Will for sure be coming back!!”

Carlos Medrano

“Carlos did a perfect install! No leaks and everything was cleaned up so when I pop the hood to change my oil I can reach right in without gloves! I will and do recommend CK Auto to anyone who wants a honest straightforward mechanic!!”
