Built for people who actually care about their cars.

S & A Auto Repair has been on Rosecrans Avenue in Hawthorne for more than thirty years. Family-run from day one. Most of our customers have been with us for at least a decade — that’s the only reputation that matters in this business, and we earn it back every visit.

Two things set us apart: your computer engine diagnostic is free, every visit, and we’re the South Bay’s oil leak shop. Free diagnostics because we want you to see the data and decide. Oil leaks because thirty years of finding leaks the right way — tracing the actual leak path, not guessing at the drip — is hard to replicate.

Beyond that, we’re a full-service shop. Brakes, tires, alignment, scheduled maintenance, engine work, transmissions — all done with dealer-grade diagnostic tools, ASE-certified technicians, and a written warranty on every job. Honest work, honest pricing, no upsell pressure. That’s the whole pitch.

We want the shop to feel different the moment you walk in. Clean waiting area, real-time text updates, photos of every concern, written quotes that hold to the dollar, and an honest answer when something doesn’t need to be fixed. The work is the same as the dealer. The experience is better. The price is lower. That’s the whole pitch.
