About Us
We're Your Neighbors First, Experts Second
Grubb Auto & Tech was built on a simple idea: St. Augustine deserves honest, knowledgeable help with their cars and their technology — without the corporate runaround.
Our Story
Grubb Auto & Tech started the way most good things do — out of frustration. Our founder, a lifelong St. Augustine resident, kept watching friends and neighbors get overcharged, misled, or just plain ignored by big-box shops and faceless tech support lines.
So we built something different. A local shop where you can walk in, talk to a real person, and leave with a clear understanding of what's going on with your car or your computer — and what it's actually going to cost.
Today, we serve hundreds of customers across St. Augustine and the surrounding area. We're proud of every five-star review, but we're most proud of the customers who just keep coming back.
Honesty
We tell you what you need — not what makes us the most money. If something can wait, we'll say so.
Clarity
No jargon. No confusion. We explain everything in plain English so you can make informed decisions.
Community
We live here too. Our reputation is built one job at a time, one neighbor at a time.
