Who we are

For over thirty years, SoCal Auto Care has been providing the highest quality auto repair services in the Vista area. Auto shops often have bad reputations by overcharging customers, being vague about repairs, and not being thorough. We’ve worked hard to overcome that stereotype, and it’s one of the reasons that our customers stay with us for years and years.

Our trained staff are all ASE certified technicians with years of experience and factory training. We offer free estimates and always let our customers know the estimated cost before we start working. Our techs offer honest, unbiased advice on vehicle repairs and maintenance. And, we strive to offer the best customer service out there.

We also believe that businesses should be ingrained in their community. That’s why we put a lot of effort into working with local organizations and sponsoring local events. We want to be pillars in our community, and provide more than just great automotive repair.

Our Team

Jessie

Owner

My name is Jessie Olivas, and I own Socal Auto Care in Vista, California. I live in North San Diego County
with my wife, three kids, and our puppy. I’ve been in the automotive industry for 15+ years and still
going strong. I am an ASE-certified technician with 15+ years of experience working on Toyota, Nissan,
Acura, Lexus, Honda, and Infiniti. A good owner should show honesty and integrity before all else. Here
at Socal Auto Care, you will find honest, reliable staff who put your needs first, clearly understand what
your car needs, and can answer all your automotive questions. Visit us and see firsthand what our
automotive shop is all about. I’ve dreamed of owning my own automotive repair business for over ten
years, and here I am, with the support and help of my family, able to do so.
My hobbies include desert trips, beach trips, golfing with my wife, and attending Padres games with my
family.
