Car people.
And, more importantly,
people people.

We opened our doors in 1983 with a simple purpose: reliable repairs, thoughtful customer service, and a place where everyone belongs.

Women-owned and operated, our clinic has helped women break into the automotive industry for more than 35 years. Half of our staff are women, bringing years of technical experience and a different perspective to car care.

We explain what your car needs in plain language. No overwhelming jargon. Just the information you need to feel comfortable and confident.

While we work, we’ll keep you updated by email, text, phone, or in person. Need to keep moving? We can arrange a Lyft or offer bus tickets so your day doesn’t have to stop.

We opened our doors over 40 years ago with the mission of offering quality repairs counsel. Many of our customers have been coming to us for a while, and they've built a certain expectation when it comes to their cars and the services provided for them. It's something we love and appreciate, and we work hard to meet and exceed their expectations every time they stop by. You can see what we’re up to on our Instagram!

Female Owned & Operated

Not many shops can say that half of their staff are women, but we can! At Hawthorne Auto Clinic we have a history of helping women break into the industry for more than 35 years and are continuing to do so today. We believe that by having a diverse shop atmosphere, we can offer our customers a unique perspective when it comes both to the customer and service experiences. Half of our team includes females who possess many years of technical experience, some of whom have even been technicians previously. We are able to explain complex repairs without making people feel overwhelmed or confused with technical jargon. When you choose Hawthorne Auto Clinic you can rest easy knowing that you are in good hands.
