Our Story: A Legacy of Trust Since 1977
The foundation of Hugo Auto Service was laid with a simple, powerful principle: honest, expert care for every vehicle. In 1977, Master Mechanic Hugo Hahn opened our doors, bringing a deep specialization in European automobiles and a commitment to craftsmanship that quickly earned the trust of Chula Vista drivers.
For decades, we've built our reputation on precision diagnostics and factory-scheduled maintenance, particularly for European models, ensuring they perform as their engineers intended.
Today, that legacy continues under the ownership of Rick St. John, who upholds Hugo's original standards of transparency, quality, and customer satisfaction.
From our founding to the present day, our focus remains unchanged: to be the most reliable and knowledgeable automotive repair shop for the San Diego community.
Serving Chula Vista from our shop at 3031 Main St, Ste I for over four decades.
