About Owens Automotive

Environmental Conscience

At Owens Automotive, we believe the proper recycling and disposal of hazardous waste is one of the most important things we can do to protect the world around us, which is why we have partnered with Asbury Environmental to pick up and dispose of our waste oil and filters.

In addition to maintaining clean water and soil, we are dedicated to restoring clean air to San Diego. Owens Automotive is not only a Smog Test and Repair Station, which allows us to repair vehicles that have failed their smog inspection, but we are an affiliate of the leading school (Furgerson's Automotive and Smog Training) in San Diego that trains mechanics to become CA licensed smog test and repair inspectors.
