Workday Drop-Off · Miramar Business Park

Drop It Off on the Way In.
Pick It Up on the Way Home.

Leave your car with us in the morning. By 10 AM you’ll get a text with what it needs, what it costs, and whether it’s going home with you tonight.

How It Works

Your Car Gets Looked At. You Stay at Work.

Most of our customers work within two miles of the shop on Formula Place. You know where you stand before lunch — no calling around, no losing a day.

01 · 8:00–8:30 AM

Drop It Off

Swing by on your way in — handoff takes a few minutes. Need to drop it before we open? Call ahead and we’ll arrange an early key drop.

02 · By 10:00 AM

Get the Text

We inspect the car before we start any work, then text you photos of what we found and the price. Nothing gets done until you say go.

03 · Before 5:00 PM

Pick It Up

Your invoice is ready when you walk in. Grab your keys on the way home. Saturday mornings available too.

Every Car Gets a Full Inspection — With Photos

Whatever you bring it in for, we look the whole car over and send you photos of anything we find, with the price, before we touch it.

You’ll see your own brake pads and belts, not a list of part numbers. And we tell you what’s fine, too — if your brakes are good, we’ll say so.

  • Photos of anything that needs attention
  • A clear price before any work starts
  • An honest “this is fine” column
  • You decide what gets done, and when
What We Promise

Straight Answers on Timing

Here’s what you can count on when you drop off in the morning.

Oil, fluids, filters & maintenance Same day, guaranteed
Brakes & common suspension work Same day when parts are local
Check-engine lights & diagnostics Diagnosis and a price by lunch
Bigger jobs or special-order parts An honest ETA by 10 AM, before we start

If the day is already full, we’ll tell you at drop-off — we can still look at it today and give you a price, with the work done the next day.

Meet the Owner

Hi, I’m Lake.

I served ten years in the US Coast Guard, then opened SP Automotive on Formula Place to run the kind of shop I’d want to take my own car to.

When you drop off with us, you’re dealing with me — the guy who looks at your car is the same guy who texts you. Look for the black-and-white SP Automotive 7675 sign, Suite D, a couple of minutes from Sorrento Mesa and Sorrento Valley.
