ENEOS On The Road: West El Cajon Automotive & Transmission – Premium Service, Dealer-Level Care
This year, the ENEOS team hit the road to visit some of our standout dealers across Southern California — and our latest stop brought us to West El Cajon Automotive & Transmission, a trusted name in the San Diego area for more than a decade.
Ken and Chewy walked our ambassador Faruk Kugay through what makes their shop such a cornerstone of quality and reliability in the local community.
A Growing Legacy of Automotive Excellence
West El Cajon Automotive & Transmission has been operating at its current location for over 10 years, but the team’s roots in San Diego run much deeper. With five locations spread across the county and more than 25 years in business, owner Brian and his crew have built a reputation for dependable, professional automotive care.
Their shop is also an official AAA-approved facility, which speaks volumes about their commitment to meeting the highest standards of service and customer trust.
“We present ourselves as a premium dealer alternative,” Ken explained.
And it shows — the layout, organization, and professionalism mirror what you’d expect from a top-tier dealership, but with the personalized touch and transparency of a family-run business.
A True One-Stop Shop
When we asked what kinds of work they handle, Chewy summed it up simply:
“We work on bumper-to-bumper repairs — anything from engines and transmissions to suspension, brakes, and electrical. We’re an all-around shop.”
That dedication to being a complete service center makes West El Cajon Automotive & Transmission a convenient, go-to destination for drivers who want everything handled under one roof.
Pride in Every Repair
More than anything, the team takes pride in doing the job right — every time.
“We take pride in our work,” Ken shared. “When people leave, we know it’s going to be fixed right — and it’s going to be fixed right the first time.”
That attention to detail and emphasis on quality workmanship aligns perfectly with ENEOS’ mission to deliver high-performance lubricants engineered for precision, protection, and reliability.
