About Kato Cars

Kato Cars is built on a true passion for automobiles, professional experience, and trust.

Founder Alexander began learning automotive repair at a young age from his father, an engineer and experienced mechanic. What started as time spent together between father and son eventually grew into a family business built on craftsmanship, honesty, and attention to detail.

Over the years, they worked side by side, serving customers and building a reputation for quality work. When his father retired, he entrusted Alexander with carrying on both the business and the values they had built together.

25+ years of craftsmanship

Alexander has worked on everything from everyday vehicles to luxury, high-performance, electric, classic, and vintage cars. His experience includes the legendary Aston Martin DB5, featured in the James Bond films — a rare opportunity that reflects the level of trust placed in his craftsmanship.

Building Kato Cars in the U.S.

After moving to the United States six years ago, Alexander continued building his reputation through honest service, quality workmanship, and close attention to detail.

Trust that brings Clients back

Today, many clients return year after year and recommend Kato Cars to friends and family. For Alexander, automotive repair is more than a profession — it’s a lifelong passion and a commitment to doing every job right.

What Our Clients Say

I went to the dealership four different times because my car kept overheating. They replaced my A/C compressor four times and charged me over $4,350, but the problem was never fixed. I was shocked and honestly very frustrated. It turned out my car was simply low on coolant. Alexander diagnosed the real issue and fixed it in less than 30 minutes. I only wish I had found him sooner. If you don’t want to waste your time and money, go to the right professional from the beginning.

I brought my BMW to a repair shop because the battery died, and somehow they blew a fuse and couldn’t fix the issue. I went through six different auto shops and nobody could solve the problem. Alexander fixed everything quickly and professionally. One hour later I was driving my car again. Fast, knowledgeable, and truly professional service. Highly recommended.

I was having oil-related issues with my car, and the dealership told me the repair would be complicated and very expensive. Alexander diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. He even picked up my vehicle from my house and brought it back the next day. The work was done professionally, fast, and for a fraction of the price I was quoted elsewhere. I’m so happy my friends recommended him.

Great service, fast turnaround, fair pricing, and quality work. They never try to sell unnecessary repairs and really know what they’re doing. It’s hard to find honest mechanics these days, but this is definitely one of those places you can trust. Highly recommend.

Trust me, this is nothing like dealing with a dealership. Alexander truly cares about his work and takes pride in every detail. His professionalism, precision, and knowledge are impressive. He approached my issue individually, solved everything quickly, and delivered amazing results. If I ever need work done again, this is the only place I’m going.

I’m extremely happy with the service I received. The diagnostics were done professionally, all the necessary parts were explained clearly, and the repairs were completed quickly and efficiently. Everything was handled with care and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone looking for reliable and professional auto repair.
