Trusted Auto Repair in Thousand Oaks Since 1984
From Hollywood Stars to Your Car: A Legacy of Excellence
Preferred Auto Centre’s story began when founder Mark Miller learned the art of exceptional repair in Toluca Lake while working with his father, who serviced Hollywood legends like John Wayne. Alongside mastering brake, engine, and transmission repair, Mark embraced a revolutionary vision for professionalism and transparency in the auto repair world.
His father championed independent shop access to manufacturer data, ensuring customers always received fair, expert service — the foundation of Preferred Auto Centre’s integrity today.
Setting New Standards in Auto Repair
In 1984, Mark opened Preferred Auto Centre in Westlake Village, offering Hollywood-caliber service for everyone — from brake repair and diagnostics to preventive maintenance. Our philosophy: expert work, transparency, honesty, and integrity.
The Next Generation: Innovation Meets Tradition
In 2020, Mark’s daughters Crista and Cherisse brought new life to the family business, blending modern innovation with timeless values to ensure trusted, professional, and transparent service for every customer.
