Our story

Straight Talk, Solid Work

Tino's Auto Tech has spent the last fifteen years earning trust one repair at a time on Broadway in Chula Vista. We work on everything from routine brake jobs to full engine replacements, and we explain what's wrong in plain language before any work begins.

We use quality parts, we stand behind our labor, and we're one of the few shops in town that will install a part you bring in yourself. When we spot a problem that isn't urgent yet, we tell you what to watch for and what it will cost down the road, so nothing catches you off guard later.

Whether it's a stubborn issue three other mechanics couldn't crack, or a cylinder head repair on a Volkswagen Tiguan, we dig until we find the actual cause, not just the symptom. That's why generations of the same families keep coming back.

  • Lets you bring your own parts
  • Finds problems other shops miss
  • Warns you before small issues get costly
  • Central Chula Vista location on Broadway

What customers say

“I've been trying to diagnose something on my truck for over a year. I had 3 other mechanics try to figure it out, but this shop figured it out in an hour and fixed the problem.”

Justin Korthuis

“I got my brake pads changed here, and they did a good job on it and they were quick with it. The price of the job was 450, very reasonable and inexpensive compared to other auto shops. Basic maintenance and fixes here is king. Thank you Tino!”

Esteban 2D

“My family and I have been taking all of our vehicles to Tino for approximately 15 years now. He's been an absolute blessing to us. He always uses the best parts and does excellent work. On top of everything, he is honest!”
