What We Do

Complete auto care for
everyday driving

From routine oil changes to complex engine repairs, we handle it all with the same care we'd give our own vehicles.

Engine Diagnostics

Check engine light on? We'll pinpoint the issue with professional-grade scan tools and explain exactly what needs attention — nothing more, nothing less.

Oil Changes

Conventional, synthetic, and high-mileage blends available. Every oil change includes a multi-point inspection so small issues don't become big ones.

Brake Service

Pad replacement, rotor resurfacing, fluid flushes, and complete brake system diagnostics. Your safety isn't something we cut corners on.

Battery & Electrical

Battery testing, alternator checks, and electrical troubleshooting. We'll get you started and keep your vehicle's systems running smoothly.

State Inspection

California smog and safety inspections done quickly and accurately. We'll help you understand any findings and schedule what's needed.

Transmission Service

Fluid exchanges, filter replacements, and transmission diagnostics. We treat your drivetrain with the same attention as everything else under the hood.

Our Story

Built on trust, not upsells

Cory Motors started as a one-bay shop with one simple belief: treat every customer's car like it's your own. That hasn't changed.

Today we're a full-service auto repair facility on East Montecito Street, but we still answer the phone, explain the problem in plain language, and only recommend what your vehicle actually needs.

Whether it's a Santa Barbara commute or a Pacific Coast Highway road trip, we want your car to get there safely — and come back safely too.
