Our story
A neighborhood shop people drive across the city for
LA Santa Auto is a car repair and maintenance shop on Virgil Avenue in East Hollywood. Ted and his mechanics handle everything from routine tune-ups to the jobs other shops get wrong: carburetors, timing belts, water pumps, steering, tires.
Our customers stay with us because the diagnosis is honest and the price is the price. Some have been bringing their cars here for seven years. Others drive in from Redondo Beach because they'd rather wait for us than gamble somewhere closer.
We're open six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Call ahead and we'll tell you honestly what your car needs, and what it doesn't.
- Open six days a week
- Diagnostics and repair under one roof
- Long-time customers across greater LA
