Ted's Garage in Chula Vista's Third Avenue Village holds AAA Approved Auto Repair status and operates as both an ACDelco authorized service center and a NAPA Auto Care Center from 1270 Third Avenue. ASE-certified mechanics specialize in radiator overhauls and full engine rebuilds — the shop's two highest-demand services — deploying ACDelco's 99,000-plus-SKU parts catalog for professional-grade spark plugs, brake pads, and filters that extends the quick-turnaround fluid services at Valvoline Instant Oil Change into full diagnostic and repair territory. Smog inspections, brake relining, clutch disc replacement, and truck-specific service round out the mechanical menu, all backed by AAA's 24-month / 24,000-mile nationwide repair warranty. Post-repair vehicle prep includes engine-bay degreasing and road-test validation, a mechanical-to-cosmetic handoff that customers extend with the paint correction and ceramic coating available at Carbix Auto Detailing. The shop's highest-tier rebuilds involve cylinder head resurfacing, crankshaft regrinding, and piston-ring replacement using ACDelco GM Original Equipment specifications for LS-series and small-block Chevrolet platforms.
