Located in North San Diego County, Escondido is a vibrant, mid-sized city situated approximately 30 minutes outside of San Diego. With its convenient location and thriving transportation industry, Escondido is home to some of the best auto mechanics in southern California.
The city’s rich automotive history dates back to the early 20th century. At that time, Escondido was primarily an agricultural hub. However, the first automobile dealerships were established in the 1920s. By the 1930s, Escondido had become a prominent location for the automotive industry.
Today, Escondido continues to be a hub for car enthusiasts, with numerous car shows and events taking place throughout the year. One of the most notable events is Cruisin’ Grand, which typically runs on Friday nights throughout the summer. Dubbed one of the best “cruises” in the country, this car rally features a stunning collection of over 500 classic, vintage, muscle, and custom cars driving through the historic downtown area of Escondido.
