1979
Est. in San Clemente
A local shop, built on reputation.
Klink's Auto Repair began in San Clemente in 1979, when Carlos Klink Sr. opened the family's original shop specializing in Volkswagen repair.
His son Carlos grew up learning the trade from his father, later opening his own shop before returning to take over the family business in 1996. Over the years, Klink's expanded beyond its European-car roots while remaining a local, family-run repair shop.
We've built our reputation the old-fashioned way: by doing good work and treating people right. Customers come back, and they send their friends and family.
Today, Carlos is joined by his partner Tito. The new name, Klink's & Tito's Auto Repair, carries the same commitment to honest, quality work.
