What We Do

Complete Auto Care for Every Drive

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

Brake Service & Repair

Squeaky brakes? We'll inspect, repair, and replace with quality parts — keeping you safe on those winding mountain roads.

Oil Changes & Tune-Ups

Regular maintenance prevents costly breakdowns. We use premium oils and follow manufacturer specs for your vehicle.

Engine Diagnostics

Check engine light on? Our diagnostic tools pinpoint the problem fast so you're not guessing — and not overpaying.

Suspension & Steering

Big Bear's roads demand a solid ride. We repair struts, shocks, tie rods, and alignment to keep your car handling smoothly.

AC & Heating

Mountain winters get cold. We'll keep your defrost working and your cabin comfortable all year round.

Emergency Repairs

Something broke on the road? Call us first — we often have same-day availability for urgent repairs.

About Us

Built on Trust, Driven by Craft

Ellsworth & Rammell Automotive isn't a chain. We're your neighbors — a local shop where the people who fix your car know your name, and your vehicle's history.

Serving Big Bear Lake and the surrounding San Gorgonio Pass communities, we understand the unique demands of mountain driving: steep grades, sudden weather changes, and rough roads that wear down vehicles faster than average.

Whether you're a year-round resident or a seasonal visitor, we treat every car like it's our own. No upselling. No jargon. Just straight answers and quality work.

Why Choose Us

The Difference Is in the Details

Honest Assessments, Every Time

We'll tell you what your car actually needs — not what the upsell sheet suggests. If a repair can wait, we'll say so.

Upfront Pricing Before We Start

No surprise charges. We give you a clear estimate, get your approval, and stick to it. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Quick Turnaround

We know you need your vehicle. Most repairs are completed same-day so you can get back on the road — or the mountain — fast.

Quality Parts, Real Warranties

We use OEM or premium aftermarket parts and stand behind our work with a solid warranty — because confidence matters.

Ready to Drive Away Stress-Free?

Give us a call or stop by the shop. We'll get you in, figure out what's going on, and have you back on the road — no drama included.
