The Penacho family · Est. 1990

Three generations.
One garage.

Mike Penacho opened Complete Auto Tech Center in 1990 and has been fixing what Fall River drives ever since. Thirty-six years later, the same family is still in the same garage, doing things the same way.

The Complete Auto Tech Center sign at 535 Bay Street, Fall River, alongside the Penacho family businesses

Complete Auto Tech Center has been a Penacho family shop since 1990. Three generations of the family have worked the bays, run the front office, and built the shop into what it is today.

When you bring your car here, the person writing the estimate is the person whose name is on the door. The person fixing the car is someone who’s been doing this work for years, in this shop, for this family. That’s the whole shape of how Complete Auto Tech Center works, and it’s been that way since day one.

The shop is part of a small family of Fall River businesses: Complete Auto Tech Center for mechanical work and Fisher plows, Mike’s Auto Body for collision repair and refinishing, and All Day All Night Towing for 24/7 roadside and recovery. Three shops, one family, three decades of doing right by the cars Fall River drives.

36 years on the road

One shop. Three decades.
One family.

Since 1990, Complete Auto Tech Center has stayed in the same family and stayed focused on the same work: diagnosing what’s actually wrong with a car and fixing it right. The location has grown. The tools have changed. The standard hasn’t.

How we work

Four promises.
Every time.

These aren’t aspirations. They’re how the shop has run since 1990.

  1. 01

    Real equipment. Real diagnostics.

    OEM-level scan tools, factory service procedures, and OE-or-better parts. The same equipment a serious shop needs, in a garage where the technician has time to use it properly.

  2. 02

    We explain everything.

    Written estimate before the work starts. Worn parts on the bench when you pick up. No invoice surprises, ever.

  3. 03

    We hire for craft.

    Our technicians are ASE- and ADAS-certified, and the kind of people who stay at a shop because they like the work and the way it's done.

  4. 04

    We back the work.

    12 months or 12,000 miles on most repairs. If we missed it, we own it. That's the whole agreement.

By the numbers

One shop. Three decades. The math is simple.
