Since 1981, PB Foreign & Domestic Car Repair has been a fixture of Pacific Beach's Garnet Avenue auto corridor, located at 1727 Garnet Ave, San Diego, CA 92109, between Jewell and Kendall Streets. Owner George Rotgans, a Pacific Beach native who graduated from Mission Bay High School in 1968, started working on cars in 1964, cutting his teeth on Mercedes-Benz vehicles before moving on to BMW and Mazda dealership work. After years inside big dealerships, George opened his own shop — a sole proprietorship that has now been serving the community for over 40 years. George's son Aaron Rotgans serves as Vice President, and the father-son duo has built a loyal following among Pacific Beach residents who value straightforward diagnoses and fair pricing. Drivers who need to pick up parts while their car is in the shop can walk a few blocks east on Garnet to O'Reilly Auto Parts for filters, fluids, and accessories. The shop is ASE-certified and has maintained BBB accreditation with an A+ rating since May 2004, one of the longest-standing BBB memberships among independent auto repair shops in the 92109 zip code. Technicians here handle everything from routine oil changes and brake jobs to complex engine diagnostics on European imports, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Volvo, and Porsche models, alongside all domestic makes. The mechanic Dan is frequently named by customers as especially skilled and transparent about what a vehicle actually needs versus what can wait. Walk-ins are welcome with no appointment necessary, and most vehicles are ready the same day they are dropped off. Customers waiting on repairs often grab lunch at The French Gourmet, a popular Pacific Beach bakery and bistro just a short stroll down Garnet Avenue. PB Foreign & Domestic holds a 4.6-star Google rating from 129 reviews, with a 5.0-star CARFAX verified rating, and a customer base that includes people who have been returning for over 30 years. The shop is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed on weekends.
