About

Cass Street Automotive at 5165 Cass St, San Diego, CA 92109 is a women-owned, AAA Approved auto repair shop established in 2012 as a sister location to Mission Hills Automotive, sitting at the corner of Cass and Turquoise streets just blocks from the Pacific Beach boardwalk and near fellow independent garage Dragonfly Automotive PB in the neighborhood's cluster of locally owned repair shops. Owner Sue and ASE-certified master technician Randy bring more than 25 years of combined experience to the community — Randy has held California smog certification since the 1980s, when the state's smog program first launched, and the full team carries ASE certifications across multiple specialties. The shop functions as a comprehensive dealership alternative, servicing all makes and models — both foreign and domestic — with NAPA auto parts and the latest diagnostic equipment. Services cover engine diagnostics and rebuilds, transmission replacement, brake repair, electrical system work, heating and air conditioning, suspension and steering, tire service, fluid exchanges, pre-purchase vehicle inspections, and oil changes with a regularly advertised $20-off special. The shop provides in-house loaner cars and a free shuttle service so customers are never stranded while their vehicle is in the bay. A 4.6-star Google rating across 233 reviews features repeated praise for technician Jade and the shop's transparent approach to quoting repairs — customers consistently note that Cass Street presents multiple repair options at different price points rather than pushing the most expensive fix. Anyone needing specialized body work after a fender bender on nearby streets can check with CollisionFix, also located in the PB area. Hours run Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and online appointment booking is available through the shop's website.
