Our story

The Shop Salinas Drivers Call First

Torres Auto Services is a Salinas mechanic shop built on plain, honest work. Whether it's a walk-in smog check or a full engine rebuild, we explain what your car needs and why, then we get it done right.

Our technicians handle everything from routine smog testing to complex jobs, including rebuilding motors on classic cars that still need to run like they did the day they rolled off the line. We take the time to answer questions and walk customers through the process, because a repair shop should leave you more informed than when you walked in.

We've also shown up when it counted most, helping a stranded family get back on the road on a Saturday when their car broke down on the way to the airport. That's the kind of shop we want to be for Salinas: quick when you need speed, careful when the job is complicated.

  • Walk-in smog checks, often done in 10 to 15 minutes
  • Comfortable with everything from daily drivers to classic engine rebuilds
  • Patient, professional explanations for every repair
  • Open six days a week, including Saturdays

What customers say

“The nicest people ever!! They saved us when our car broke down driving to the airport. Extremely knowledgeable. Figured out the issue quick. Made sure we were fine even gave us waters and sodas knowing we were driving for a while. All on a Saturday too. Highly recommend!”
