Route 66 Auto Repair is an independent, single-location auto shop in Upland on Foothill Blvd, the old Route 66. We have been in business for 35+ years, we are AAA approved and we are a U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer. A local shop keeps your repair history in one place, knows how Inland Empire heat treats cars and is easy to come back to.
Why use a local independent shop?
A local shop sees the same cars again and again. That history matters. When a technician can see that the water pump was replaced two years ago and the battery last spring, diagnosis starts from facts instead of from scratch. Declined items from a past visit are on file too, so nothing gets quietly forgotten.
Local also means local conditions. We see what summer heat does to batteries and cooling systems, what dust does to filters, and what stop-and-go traffic in Upland does to brakes. Our advice reflects the roads you drive.
What else does a neighborhood shop offer?
- U-Haul trucks, cargo vans and trailers through our U-Haul rentals counter; reservations are made on uhaul.com.
- A hookup check for renters through the free towing inspection.
- Light body and glass work in-house.
- New tires sold, mounted and balanced.
- Deluxe pre-purchase inspections before you buy a used car.
How a local shop visit works
Step 1: We pull your history
Returning customers start with past invoices and declined items.
Step 2: We test the new concern
After the fee is stated, the technician tests what brought you in.
Step 3: We update the plan
The estimate combines today's findings with anything still pending.
Step 4: We record the visit
The invoice adds to your history for next time.

How pricing and timing work
Local does not mean guesswork on price. You get a written estimate after testing, and AAA members save 10% on parts and labor, up to $75, with the card. We take cards and cash. Timing follows the board, and a returning customer's history often shortens diagnosis. Read our story for more about the shop.
Aftercare
Since we are down the street, follow-ups are simple. Call with any question, and we will look at the car against its history.
