Our story
The Tower District's trusted mechanic since 2002
Tower Automotive Repair has been fixing Fresno's cars from the same shop on North Van Ness for more than two decades. We're a small, family-run, veteran-owned operation — which means you deal with the expert actually working on your car, not a service writer reading off a screen.
What people tell us, over and over, is that we're honest. We explain exactly what's wrong and why, we ask before we do the work, and we'll tell you what can wait. Drivers have towed cars in from as far as Visalia because they'd rather wait for us than trust anyone closer. That's the reputation we protect every single day.

“Great mechanic — it's about time I found someone I trust. A small place but very honest people. No monkey business, no gouging your pocketbook. Well worth giving them a try.”
Gaylene P.Google review
“Robert has worked on my last three cars. I've towed vehicles all the way from Visalia twice because he's the only mechanic I trust. He's always backed up — and there's a reason: regulars.”
Verified customerGoogle review
“He explained exactly what he was going to do and why — and asked us first. Knowledgeable, fair, and clear about everything. If you need a mechanic, we definitely recommend Tower Automotive.”
Verified customerGoogle review
“He went beyond the job I came in for and checked the whole car over, engine to wheels, when he didn't have to. Friendly, straight with me, and far from a shady mechanic. So grateful.”
