Keith's Automotive on West G Street in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district has combined automotive electrical diagnostics with classic car restoration since the shop's founding in 1978. Frame-off restorations require rewiring entire vehicle harnesses from ignition to tail lamps, a custom fabrication process that often pairs with panel and paint work at Leucadia Auto Body in the Leucadia corridor for full-body metalwork and finish. The 2003 relocation from Solana Beach to the current Encinitas location expanded the service menu to include modern hybrid diagnostics, computer-controlled module programming, and late-model electrical fault tracing alongside the legacy restoration work. Rebuilt alternators and starters for all makes and models remain a core offering, drawing from the shop's original 1978 specialty in rotating electrical components. General mechanical needs beyond the electrical and restoration focus — engine overhauls, transmission service, fuel system repair — route to full-service shops like Encinitas Foreign & Domestic Auto Repair that handle the broader mechanical scope. Highest-complexity projects include complete point-to-point wiring harness fabrication for pre-1970 vehicles, retrofitted electronic fuel injection conversion with custom ECU mapping, and 12-volt negative-ground conversion on positive-ground British and European classics.
