San Jose Automotive

Founded in 1991 as a small used tire shop, San Jose Automotive is a family-owned business in Chicago, IL, and has grown into a trusted auto repair shop, thanks to the vision of Tomi Oliva. In 1996, Tomi’s dad built a new facility at our current location at 3749 W North Ave, Chicago, IL 60647. In 2016, Tomi transformed it into a full-service auto repair shop. We are staffed by ASE-certified mechanics that offer expert auto repair services for all makes and models using the latest diagnostic equipment and tools. Our personalized approach sets us apart from dealerships and our team takes the time to get to know you and your vehicle.
