WHO WE ARE?
More Than a Shop - We’re Family
When we opened Top Shop Automotive in 1986, we had one simple goal: treat every customer the way we’d want to be treated. That meant honest diagnostics, fair pricing, and never recommending a repair that wasn’t truly needed.

Being family-owned means we take personal pride in every repair. Our name is on the door, and our reputation is everything to us. When you bring your car to Top Shop, you’re not just getting a mechanic — you’re getting a team that genuinely cares.

OUR VALUES
What Makes Us Different
As a family-owned business, Mechanics at Top Shop are committed to treating each of our customers just as we would treat our family members. That is why you will find so many customer-centric amenities at Top Shop Automotive.
We treat every customer like a member of our own family. That’s not just a tagline — it’s how we were raised and how we run our business.
We never oversell or recommend repairs your vehicle doesn’t need. We explain everything in plain language so you can make informed decisions.
Our ASE-certified mechanics bring decades of hands-on experience with every European and Asian import brand.
From supporting local Girl Scouts to partnering with Santa Barbara City College, we’re deeply rooted in our community.
