Our Repair Shop

Our Repair Shop

Henry's Auto Repair in Whittier, California, was founded in 1959 by Henry Michalka when Studebaker™ was importing Mercedes-Benz to the US. During this time Henry's Auto Repair was a single-man shop in uptown Whittier. Henry's Auto Repair had to be relocated after our building was declared unsafe due to the 1972 earthquake. The business then moved to our current location and contiues to be a family owned and operated business, serving the Whittier and surrounding.
