More than a repair shop
Your automotive family.
For generations.
In 1966, John and Dolores Horsman opened a two-bay Chevron station in Santee. What started as a small family business grew into a full-service, 10-bay facility — with the same commitment to doing right by our neighbors.
Today, our ASE-certified technicians bring decades of hands-on experience to every repair. You’ll find familiar faces, straightforward advice, and people who genuinely care.
