OUR STORY

Ten years on Main Street.
Thirty-five in the trade.

We've been on Main Street in Chula Vista for 10 years, backed by over 35 years of combined experience. We're a family business that works on every kind of car the local community drives — Asian, domestic, and European — and our local military community brings every make and model imaginable. European service (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, Jaguar) is a particular strength of ours. The name on the building changes, but the work doesn't: honest diagnostics, the right parts, and a clean shop you'll actually want to come back to.

The trade we grew up in

The people behind OREC have over 35 years of combined experience working on cars — Asian, domestic, and European. The skill came first; the shop came later.

10 years ago

OREC opens on Main Street

A family shop opens in Chula Vista with a simple idea: fix vehicles right the first time and treat every customer like family. Same block ever since.

Along the way

ASE Certified

Full team ASE certification. The automotive industry's technical standard, across every system. Our techs train regularly to stay current.

Then

STAR Smog & Clean Truck Check

Became a STAR-certified smog station (and we perform regular Smog Checks too). Added Clean Truck Check (CTC) authorization for the emissions side of heavy-duty vehicle compliance.

Today

Still here. Still family.

Same block. Same values. Every kind of car the local community drives is welcome here. The work is our proof, and we stand behind every job that leaves this shop with a 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty.

What we stand for

Three things we never compromise on.

01

Honest Estimates

No guesswork. We tell you what's wrong and why, then we get to work. We're not here to talk money — we're here to take care of you.

02

The Right Part. The Right Fluid.

We use the correct part and the correctly-certified fluid for each specific vehicle. Sometimes that's OEM, sometimes that's a quality alternative — it's always the right call for that car.

03

Factory-Level Diagnostics

We invest in the manufacturer-spec tools and software the platforms call for. We read the service manual and the procedure, then we get it right the first time.

In our own words

We treat everybody like family. We're not here to talk money — we're here to take care of you. We value honesty. We work on all makes, and European — Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, Jaguar — is a particular strength of ours. We use the right part, and the right certified fluid, for your specific vehicle. And our bathrooms are clean.
