Where is SP Automotive located?

SP Automotive is at 7675 Formula Place, Suite D, San Diego, CA 92121, in the Miramar business park just off Miramar Road. We’re minutes from Sorrento Valley, Sorrento Mesa, Mira Mesa and Scripps Ranch.

What are your hours?

We’re open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. We’re closed Sundays. After-hours key drop is available — call ahead to arrange it.

Do you work on all makes and models?

Yes. We service domestic, Japanese and European vehicles, modern and older. We also work on carbureted engines and vintage electrical systems, which most general shops no longer handle.

How much does a diagnostic cost?

Diagnostic pricing depends on the complexity of the problem. We quote it before we start, and we explain what we found and why before recommending any repair. Call (858) 406-3375 for a quote on your specific issue.

Do you take commercial fleet accounts?

Yes. We offer priority scheduling, same-day turnaround on scheduled maintenance, consolidated monthly invoicing on net-30 terms, and complete digital service records by VIN. See our fleet services page or call to set up a free fleet assessment.

Can I drop my car off before work?

Yes, and most of our customers do. The shop sits in the Miramar business park, so if you work nearby you can leave the vehicle in the morning and pick it up at the end of the day. We keep you updated by phone or text.

Do you do classic car restoration?

Yes. We restore and maintain classic and vintage vehicles, including carbureted engines, vintage electrical systems, numbers-matching restorations and daily-driven resto-mods. We work with owners across San Diego County.

Is SP Automotive veteran-owned?

Yes. SP Automotive was founded by Lake Williams, a United States Coast Guard veteran. The shop is named for his late father, Stephen Paul Williams. We offer a discount to active duty, veterans and military families.

How do I make an appointment?

Call (858) 406-3375, email lake@sp-automotive.com, or use the form on our contact page. We’ll confirm a time and give you a realistic estimate of how long the work will take.

Do you provide written estimates before starting work?

Always. We don’t perform work you haven’t approved, and we show you what we found with photos when it helps.

What areas do you serve?

We serve Miramar, Sorrento Valley, Sorrento Mesa, Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, Kearny Mesa, Poway and the greater San Diego area. Classic restoration customers come from across San Diego County.
