Auto Mechanics in Gainesville Since 1981

City Auto Repair first opened its doors here in Gainesville in 1981, intending to provide a one-stop auto repair shop for those needing any type of automotive repairs. The current owner, Rachael, quickly developed a passion for cars after her father opened the shop.

While spending many hours in the shop with her father during her early years, Rachael also learned that she was passionate about cars and even more about helping people. Today, Rachael provides a salt-of-the-earth approach to customer relationships and passes this same philosophy down to her team members at City Auto Repair.

City Auto Repair’s Mission in Gainesville

Our Mission: To repair the brokenness in cars, the people that drive them, and the communities that rely on them.

A reputable auto repair shop is about much more than fixing cars. Think about it — cars are a very important part of our lives. We depend on them for work, school, and even our quality of life as we live in an area where public transportation isn’t as robust as in major cities. When our vehicles are down, it causes great disruption and leaves us vulnerable in many ways.


A malfunctioning vehicle causes stress and anxiety due to our heavy reliance on them. A broken car also induces fear over the potential of costly repairs. In thinking back to City Auto Repair’s mission statement, if people cannot travel to work or school, other community members are impacted. Imagine if, for some reason, everyone’s vehicles decided to stop working today — what impact would that have on local businesses?


City Auto Repair strives to make personal connections with customers and provide them with the best recommendations and solutions regarding their vehicle repairs. People need to be able to rely on an auto mechanic they can trust. The auto repair industry has developed a tarnished reputation over the years due to unscrupulous auto mechanics either making unnecessary repairs or advising their customers to go in a direction that allows them to maximize profit from the repair rather than what’s best for the customer.
