About SD Italian Auto Repair Specialists in San Diego
Our focus is long term reliability, proper service and clear communicaiton
SD Italian is a San Diego auto repair shop specializing in Italian and European vehicles. We provide professional maintenance, diagnostics, and repair services using factory-recommended procedures and high-quality parts. SD Italian was founded on a passion for Italian engineering and European automotive craftsmanship. These vehicles are built differently, and they require specialized knowledge, proper tools, and strict adherence to manufacturer standards. From the beginning, SD Italian was built around one core belief: shortcuts lead to problems, and proper service leads to longevity. That belief continues to guide how we inspect, diagnose, and repair every vehicle that comes through our doors.
Our Founder
SD Italian was founded by a lifelong automotive professional with a deep passion for Italian engineering and European performance vehicles.
With years of hands-on experience servicing Italian and European cars, our founder built SD Italian on the belief that these vehicles require specialized knowledge, proper tools, and strict adherence to manufacturer standards.
From routine maintenance to advanced diagnostics, the goal has always been the same:
service vehicles correctly, consistently, and honestly.
That philosophy continues to shape every service performed at SD Italian today.
