Auto Repair in Pasadena, CA

Auto repair for Pasadena drivers

Pinky's Automotive has been fixing cars in Los Angeles since 2006. The North Lake Avenue shop brings the same crew, the same equipment and the same way of doing business to the San Gabriel Valley.

We are an independent shop, not a dealership and not a chain. That means dealership-grade diagnostic equipment without dealership pricing, and it means the person explaining the repair to you is one of the owners. Every job gets a written estimate first, and nothing gets replaced without your approval.

What we handle here

The Pasadena shop covers the full service menu — brakes, engine diagnostics, A/C, transmission and drivetrain, cooling, electrical, tires and alignment, exhaust and emissions, and routine maintenance. The four we get asked about most:

• Brake Repair — Squealing, grinding, a soft pedal or a shudder when you stop — bring it in and we'll tell you exactly what's worn and what isn't.
• Check Engine Light — A code tells you which circuit is unhappy.
• A/C Repair — A/C that blows warm is almost always a leak.
• Transmission — Slipping, harsh shifts or a shudder does not automatically mean a rebuild.

See the complete service menu for everything else, or send us a service request and we'll get back to you.
