We’re celebrating an incredible milestone—9 years with our lead technician, Jesus Ayala!

For nearly a decade, Jesus has been a cornerstone of Oren’s Automotive. As an ASE Certified Technician, his knowledge, dedication, and commitment to quality have helped countless customers keep their vehicles safe and reliable.

I honestly can’t imagine where our team—or our customers—would be without him. His hard work, positive attitude, and willingness to go the extra mile make him an invaluable part of our family.

Thank you, Jesus, for 9 amazing years of service, friendship, and excellence. We truly appreciate everything you do!

TGIF!

I’m excited to introduce Miguel Briceno as the newest addition to the Oren’s Automotive team — and to share why I’m so excited for you, our valued customers.

In a few words: imagine your favorite team signing Shohei Ohtani. That’s the level of excitement I feel about bringing Miguel on board.

Miguel spent 25 years at Nissan as the shop foreman and is an ASE Certified Master Automobile Technician — one of the highest certifications in the industry, earned through years of hands-on experience, testing, and ongoing training.

He's joining our loyal Jesus Ayala as our 2nd Certified Master Automobile Technician who is like Freddie Freeman or Mookie Betts and our team's best player and now we got another all star joining our team.

At Oren’s Automotive, we’ve never believed in being a training ground for inexperienced mechanics who may take longer to diagnose problems or perform repairs incorrectly. Finding top-level talent in Santa Barbara isn’t easy, especially with the high cost of living. I’ve intentionally kept one service bay open at a loss while waiting for the right person to join our team.

Now, we’ve found him.

Miguel’s expertise strengthens our ability to deliver the high-quality service, accurate diagnostics, and trusted repairs you expect from Oren’s Automotive.

Please join me in welcoming Miguel to the team!

Have a great weekend,

Oren
