ARC Auto Repair Center is a local, family-run garage serving the Pasadena, CA area. We're the shop your neighbors already trust for mufflers, brakes, and tires — and we've kept up with the times, offering dedicated service for hybrid, EV, GDI, and diesel vehicles alongside everyday repairs.
No gimmicks, no upselling — just honest work from a team that treats your car like it's parked in our own driveway.
Located at 1341 E Walnut St — the same spot our owner ran for 17 years as a Midas franchise, now independently owned and operated as ARC Auto Repair Center.
