If you are searching for auto repair near you in the Upland area, Route 66 Auto Repair is at 1775 W Foothill Blvd, on Historic Route 66 at Central Ave. That puts us between the I-10 and the 210, one block east of In-N-Out Burger, and a short drive from Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Claremont and Montclair. We fix most cars, trucks and vans, with a written estimate before work.
How close are we to you?
From the 210, exit in Upland and head south to Foothill Blvd. From the I-10, head north on Central Ave until you reach Foothill Blvd. Either way, you end up on the old Route 66 corridor with the shop one block east of In-N-Out. Our directions page has more detail. Drivers from Rancho Cucamonga and Ontario usually reach us in a few minutes outside rush hour, and so do neighbors in Claremont.
Being close matters most when the car is not healthy. A shorter drive means less risk with an overheating engine or a soft brake pedal. If the car should not be driven at all, have it towed; we accept tow-ins during business hours. See emergency auto repair for roadside steps.
What to do before you drive over
- Call (909) 608-7699 so we can check what the board can hold today.
- Note when the problem happens: cold start, freeway speed, turning, braking.
- Bring your AAA card if you are a member.
- Bring past invoices if you have them; history speeds up diagnosis.

How pricing and timing work
Distance does not change our pricing; the repair does. Your price comes from parts, book labor time and what testing finds, and it is written down before work begins. Same-day work is possible when the board allows. Hours are Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday 8 AM to 2 PM; we are closed on Sunday.
Aftercare
Being local means a follow-up is easy. If anything feels off after the repair, drive back or call. Comebacks go to the front of the line and the cause is written on the repair order.
