Our story

About Jaeckels Automotive

At Jaeckels Automotive, we've built our shop in Santa Maria on doing the job right and telling customers the truth about what their car actually needs. Whether it's a full engine replacement or a stubborn check engine light, Steve, Kevin, and the rest of the team walk you through exactly what's wrong and lay out your options before any work begins.

We handle everything from major repairs, like sourcing a factory replacement engine backed by a three-year warranty, to smaller fixes such as starters and sensor issues. Customers keep coming back, and some keep sending their cars back to us even after moving out of state, because we stand behind our work and charge a fair price for it.

  • Factory-backed engine replacements
  • Same-day diagnostics and repairs
  • Clear options before any work begins
  • Trusted by repeat customers, even after they move away

What customers say

“Jaeckels treated me like family every step of the way. After the HEMI engine in my 2017 Ram 1500 failed, they helped me secure a replacement engine directly from Chrysler that came with a three-year warranty. The price for both the engine and labor was very reasonable, and the entire process was handled professionally from start to finish. This was hands down the best experience I've ever had with an auto repair shop.”

Jason Espinoza

“Steve and Kevin are so easy to work with. I have never been disappointed in the shop's work, and the prices are always reasonable. I had been bringing my cars in for most everything for about five years. Even after I moved to Oklahoma, I saved a big job for a visit last week to have Jaeckels do the work on it.”

Randy Jackson

“I had my car scanned when the check engine light came on. I needed emergency service. He determined that it would be safe to drive to his shop rather than to have the car towed. When I got there, he looked, explained exactly what was wrong, and gave me options for the repairs. It was efficient, friendly, smiling service!”
