About California Autohaus — Trusted Auto Repair Near You in Encinitas

Our Story

Automotive repair runs in my blood. My father and all five of my uncles were mechanics, so I grew up in the industry. In 2008, I took a leap and opened my very first shop. I failed with that one—and with three more after it—before I finally found the recipe for success. Today, I proudly own and operate four auto repair facilities across San Diego County, and we’re looking to expand even further.

What Makes Us Different

At California Autohaus, we genuinely love what we do—and that passion sets us apart. With over 30 years in the industry, I can confidently say our technology, technicians, and customer service exceed even dealership standards. Our technicians are among the best in the nation, backed by top-tier training and certifications. I’d put our team up against anyone, knowing they’d come out on top.

Our Team

Every person here plays a vital role in keeping our operations running smoothly, Monday through Friday. We have a corporate office with accountants and an HR director, myself my brother and I steering the company, and each shop is managed by dedicated store managers with the support of a district manager overseeing the bigger picture. We value precision, teamwork, and pride in our craft.

Our Mission

We want our customers to fall in love with their cars again. When you first bought your vehicle, it represented you and your personality. Over time, that machine wears down, and the excitement can fade. Our mission is to reignite that original spark, restoring both your car’s performance and your pride in owning it.

Giving Back

While we haven’t started formal community outreach yet, it’s a dream of mine to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation. They gave me one of my greatest memories with my sister, and I feel it’s important to one day give back in her honor.
