The Pasadena shop whole families trust with every car they own
Our story
A & E Automotive is a family shop on Walnut Street in Pasadena, and it shows in who walks through our door. Entire families bring us their cars, and so do the friends they've convinced to switch over.
We tell you the truth about your car. If a part is wearing out but still safe to drive on for a while, we'll say so instead of pushing a repair you don't need yet. When something does need fixing, from a routine service to an alternator that failed on the freeway, our turnaround is fast.
We also handle roadside battery calls and keep local fleets running, because a car that won't start doesn't wait for a convenient time.
What customers say
“Really appreciated Mike and his team taking care of my RAV4 when her alternator broke and left me stranded. I was far from home without my dad/bf but they answered all my questions and were patient when I would ask for time to reiterate that to my car people lol. They really are knowledgeable and really tried their best to meet my needs. Appreciate yall!”
“Mike and his team @ A&E are both efficient and communicative in what they do, ive been to a number of automotive repair shops in the Pasadena area and this is by far the best service I've received, the turn around for repairs is quite impressive in itself. Definitely will be returning for my fleet needs and recommending this shop.”
“Mike is a fantastic mechanic! My entire family brings their cars here. I've convinced friends to come here. Mike gets the job done, turnaround is fast, and he doesn't rip you off. Car parts are expensive and he will tell you if a part absolutely needs to be replaced or if it's ok to drive around for a while.”
