About us
A neighborhood shop that explains the work.
Ironside Auto Works started as a two-bay garage with one simple rule: treat every customer's car the way we'd want ours treated. That rule hasn't changed — the shop has just gotten bigger.
Our technicians work on everything from commuter sedans to work trucks and late-model European cars. Before we touch anything, we'll call you, walk you through what we found and give you a written estimate. If something can wait, we'll tell you that too.
Transparency
Photos and explanations for every recommendation.
Workmanship
Done once, done right, and checked before it leaves.
Satisfaction
If it's not right, bring it back. We'll make it right.

- Sample review
“They found the actual cause of my check-engine light after another shop replaced two sensors for nothing. Clear explanation, fair price, done the same day.”
- Sample review
“Called me before doing anything, sent photos of the worn brake parts, and told me the rear could wait another few months. That honesty is why I keep coming back.”
- Sample review
“Hard to find an independent shop that's comfortable with European cars. Service was thorough and the waiting area was clean. Would recommend.”
