family business

City Auto Repair opened its doors to Gainesville in 1981 to provide a one-stop shop for all automotive repairs. Growing up in the shop with her father, who started the business, Rachael became passionate about cars, but more so, about being able to help people. Today, Rachael carries on her father’s legacy with her team at City Auto Repair by providing an experience that is authentic and sincere, where each client is treated like part of the family.

our mission

“To repair the brokenness in cars, the people that drive them, and the communities that rely on them.”

our values

PARAMOUNT INTEGRITY

Unfortunately, integrity doesn’t abound in the auto repair community. Our pledge is to break that mold. We act with unwavering integrity, not just with all services completed, but in all interactions with our clients.

SERVICE EXCELLENCE

We demonstrate an industry expertise to assure clients that work is completed with excellence and precision the first time.

FAITHFUL RELATIONSHIPS

We dedicate ourselves to compassionately helping our clients by treating them like family.

EDUCATE THOROUGHLY

We strive to empower our clients by sharing our knowledge in the way that best serves our clients and community. We want you to not only leave with a newly repaired vehicle but also a new level of understanding about the car you drive.

“OUR LEGACY IS BUILT ON THE RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE DEVELOPED WITH OUR CUSTOMERS.”

our community

Giving back to our community is an important component of who we are. Owner Rachael Wacha’s love for the community is exemplified through her participation in the Alachua County community serving on the automotive board of the Santa Fe College and working as a volunteer at Peaceful Paths.

Additionally, Rachael loves being able to share her knowledge of auto repairs with her community in order to empower and educate them. Rachael hosts Car Care Clinics to help educate and guide individuals on how to take, maintain, and look after their car. Education leads to healthier cars, safer roads, and more intelligent drivers.
