What we do
Transmissions, diesel, and the electrical nobody else wants.
Everything here comes from the shop's own signage or from work customers have described in their Google reviews. Nothing is a generic list.
Diesel Repair & Service
Diesel has its own sign on this roof for a reason. Service and repair on diesel engines, plus diesel smog, which not every shop in the area is set up to do.
Tune Ups & Maintenance
The routine work that keeps a car out of the shop. Customers bring vehicles back every couple of years for a check rather than waiting for something to break.
Smog
Petrol and diesel. The diesel smog capability is the unusual part, and it is signed inside the bay.
Electrical & Modules
The faults other shops turn away. One customer had an ABS control module replaced here over New Year after no other shop would take on the electrical work.
Engine Replacement
Jasper Engines and Transmissions installer. When an engine is past repair, the replacement comes with a real warranty rather than a shrug.
Credentials
The plaques on the wall are not decoration.
Anyone can call themselves a mechanic. These are the ones that had to be earned and inspected, and they are bolted to the front of the building where customers can see them before they hand over the keys.
AAA Approved Auto Repair
The badge is on the building and on the pole sign. One customer names it as the reason she trusts the shop with the car her child rides in.
Official Brake Adjusting Station
A California state certification, plaque mounted on the front of the building.
Official Lamp Adjusting Station
The matching state certification for headlamp work, alongside the brake station plaque.
Jasper Engines & Transmissions
Installer for Jasper remanufactured engines and transmissions, 1 year / 100,000 mile warranty. Banner hangs in the bay.
The shop
A 1959 El Camino in one bay, your daily driver in the next.
Larry White owns the place and, according to the people who have been coming here longest, still does the work himself. One customer put it plainly: over the last thirty years the family brought their van, their car and their husband's old truck here, and never once had a bad experience.
It is the kind of shop where a white and red El Camino sits with its hood up next to an ordinary minivan, and a lime green Mach 1 waits out front. Old iron and everyday cars get the same attention, because the people who own both are the same neighbours.
Rob is the other name customers mention. When one driver needed an ABS module replaced and no other shop would take on the electrical fault, this is where the car sat over New Year until it was done properly.

“This repair shop is the best, Larry White is the owner and the best mechanic,customer service, and your next best friend. He always helps me out with any problem that I have with my van,my car and my husband's old truck. He is the best and I can say over the last 30 years we've been taking our vehicles to him we've never had a bad experience.”
“I had a great experience with White Automotive. Rob was very helpful, and the team replaced my ABS control module while also letting me keep my car at the shop over New Year's when no other shop was willing to handle the electrical issues. Their integrity and professionalism stood out, and I highly recommend White Automotive for reliable and trustworthy service!”
“I take my car here for functional expections every other year or so. I am very confident in their expectations & very trust worthy on keeping my child & I driving safely in our vehicle. That is probably the main reason this shop is AAA approved. Great service!!!”
“Extremely patient with my level of nerves (and lack of knowledge with regards to what i was doing), friendly staff and a general air of knowing what they're doing while still getting along as a group. The waiting room was more than sufficient for just waiting around, and i would definitely recommend giving this local business a shot.”
