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.
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.
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.
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.
Your invoice is ready when you walk in. Grab your keys on the way home. Saturday mornings available too.
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.
Here’s what you can count on when you drop off in the morning.
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.
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.
Stuck at your desk? Send this and it goes straight to Lake — we’ll text you back to confirm your morning.
