OUR STORY

Built on Trust, Driven by Expertise

Carlos Vega left a comfortable dealership position with one goal: build a shop where customers are treated like family, not transactions. He started with two bays, a toolbox, and a reputation for doing things right.

Today, Throttle Auto is a full-service shop with a team of experienced technicians and modern diagnostic technology. We've grown through word-of-mouth — because when you treat people fairly, they tell their friends.

Our philosophy hasn't changed since day one: diagnose honestly, price fairly, repair thoroughly, and stand behind every job we do.

OUR STANDARDS

How We Work on Your Car

These aren't just words on a wall — they're how we handle every car that comes through our bays, from the first call to pickup.

Factory-Level Diagnostics
Current scan tools and factory repair data for every make we service.
Locally Owned
Family-owned and operated. We live in this community and stand behind our work.
Quality Parts
We use OEM and name-brand parts — never cheap aftermarket that fails early.
Honest Estimates
Written estimates before any work begins. We call if anything changes.
