Back to John Ellis Garage


For 80 years, John Ellis Garage has been a permanent fixture in
midtown Sacramento. John Ellis opened his garage in 1927, after
working as a mechanic for the W.I.  Elliott Company, which sold star
cars during the twenties. John Ellis was so good to his customers that
many of his customers followed him to his new garage where they
continued to have their car repaired for over half a century.

John brought his son Dave into the business during the fifties. Both
were active in the trade organizations; John as a founder of the
Automotive Mechanics Association in the thirties, and Dave as a
statewide officer of the Independent Garage Owners.

In 1959, Bob Pugh joined the company and took over after both John
and Dave passed away. The ongoing success of the garage is due to
it's excellent reputation and a lot of hard work. We continue to provide
our customers with honest, trustworthy, reliable service and warranty.
Bob retired in 2002 as we celebrated our 75th anniversary. We would
like to thank everyone that has done business with us. We hope that
you will continue to do business with us as we continue to our 100th
anniversary.
