Independent shop / Broadway / Lemon Grove
Diagnose first.Fix second.
Ochoa’s Automotive is a working shop, not a dealership service desk. Bring in the noise, the light on the dash, or the oil change you keep pushing off. We find out what it actually is, tell you the price, and wait for your go-ahead before we turn a wrench.
- Who comes in
- Mostly Lemon Grove, Spring Valley and La Mesa regulars
- Hours
- Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Closed Sundays.
- Where we are
- 6998 Broadway, Lemon Grove, CA 91945. Phone is (619) 962-1858.
Diagnostic intake
What is the car doing?
Choose the closest symptom. The work order updates as you go.
Live assessment
Plain language, and a price you hear first.
Nothing happens without your yes
You hear what failed, what it costs, and what happens if you wait. Then you decide. No line items you never agreed to showing up at pickup.
We test before we replace
Swapping parts until the light goes off is somebody else's business model. We test the system the code points at. It takes longer up front and saves the second visit.
You can talk to the guy doing the work
6998 Broadway, right in the middle of Lemon Grove. Not a call center three cities away reading your file off a screen.

The work that fills the bays most weeks
- 01
Engine diagnostics
Code read, then confirmed with actual testing. You get the quote after that, not before.
- 02
Brakes and suspension
Pads, rotors, shocks, struts. Everything that keeps the car settled on the Broadway hills.
- 03
Cooling and A/C
Overheating, leaks, and air that blows warm in August. Fixed properly, not recharged and forgotten.
- 04
Batteries, starters, alternators
Each one tested separately. One part gets replaced, not all three.
- 05
Oil and scheduled maintenance
Fluids, filters, belts, plus a straight answer about what wears out next.
- 06
Check engine light repair
Emissions sensor or a misfire, we trace it back to the thing that actually caused it.
Same order every time. Measure it, prove it, quote it.
Easier on the phone
Tell us what it’s doing. Most of the time we can narrow it down right there.
On Broadway, working on cars from all over east county
Lemon Grove, Spring Valley, La Mesa, Encanto, Casa de Oro. A few people still drive over from Chula Vista. If you can get it to Broadway, we can look at it.
