Thank you for supporting our local family-owned small business

Proudly serving the Morro Bay community for more than 40 years!

In the heart of Morro Bay, a stone’s throw from the Pacific, is nestled a true gem of the automotive world: Todd’s Garage. What started as a humble family-owned shop in the 1970s, founded by the legendary Bill Todd, has since transformed into a revered local institution, now under the capable leadership of his son, Mike Todd. For over four decades, Todd’s Garage has been the cornerstone of automotive repair and maintenance in the community, built on a foundation of integrity, skill, and unmatched customer service.

While the shop no longer offers air conditioner repairs or electric vehicle services, its focus on traditional car care—oil changes, brake services, engine diagnostics, and more—remains as sharp and reliable as ever. This isn’t just another mechanic; Todd’s Garage is where generations of families have trusted their vehicles, from first cars to family SUVs, knowing they’re getting quality work, honest advice, and a fair price.

The Heart of Morro Bay’s Automotive Care

Bill Todd opened the garage with a simple philosophy: treat people like family, and their cars like your own. His reputation for meticulous work spread quickly, and before long, Todd’s Garage became synonymous with reliability in the coastal town. Whether it was a routine oil change or a complex engine rebuild, Bill’s craftsmanship set a standard of excellence that has carried through the decades.

Mike Todd, who grew up watching his father, has infused that same spirit into the shop today. “My dad built this place with heart and hard work,” Mike says, his pride unmistakable. “Every car that comes in here, we take care of it like it’s our own.”

A Tradition of Excellence

What sets Todd’s Garage apart is not just the mechanical expertise, but the trust they’ve earned through decades of honest work. Their ASE-certified technicians know cars inside and out, whether it’s a classic muscle car or a modern hybrid (though EV repairs are now referred to specialists). Their transparent approach has earned them legions of loyal customers who sing their praises across platforms.

“No hidden fees, no unnecessary repairs,” says longtime customer Sarah W., who’s been bringing her family’s cars to Todd’s Garage for over 20 years. “They tell you exactly what needs to be done, and what can wait. That kind of honesty is hard to find.”
