Our Story: Built on Resilience & Trust
DIKO SMOG & AUTO REPAIR was founded on a simple principle: to provide honest, expert automotive care to the San Diego community. From our beginnings, we've focused on building lasting relationships with our customers, treating every vehicle as if it were our own.
A Test of Fire & Recovery
In 2017, our commitment was put to the ultimate test when a fire impacted our original shop. This challenging moment didn't break us—it forged our resolve. We rebuilt, reinvested in our facility and tools, and emerged stronger, more dedicated than ever to serving our neighbors. This experience is at the heart of our resilience and our promise to stand by you, no matter the challenge.
Rooted in San Diego
Our story is intertwined with the story of San Diego. We're proud to be your local, independent shop at 4009 Hicock St. We support local events, hire local talent, and believe in giving back to the community that has supported us through every chapter of our journey.
