Andrew Harris grew up in the bays of
Automotive Excellence, the Seal Beach repair shop his father Joe opened back in 1981. When he officially stepped in as owner in 2005, Andrew carried on the family tradition with the same philosophy: deliver reliable auto care built on honesty and craftsmanship. What began as one small shop has grown into two Seal Beach locations, giving local drivers dealership-level service with a family-run feel.
Under Andrew’s leadership, Automotive Excellence has earned AAA Approval and built a team of ASE-Certified and Master technicians. From
hybrid diagnostics to precision alignments,
auto electrical repairs, and everything in between, his crew uses cutting-edge tools and training to tackle today’s most complex vehicles.
For Andrew, cars are only part of the story. He sees customers, vendors, and employees as neighbors first, and works to make every interaction built on trust and respect. Whether he’s sharing
maintenance tips online or talking through a repair at the counter, his goal is to make car care clear, stress-free, and dependable for the Seal Beach community he proudly serves.
