C.C. Automotive logo Our Story

A Tucson legacy, built one honest repair at a time.

In Memory of Charlie Cillitto — CC Automotive Est. 1981 memorial sign

Charlie Cillitto's story starts far from Tucson — born in 1950 in Morgantown, West Virginia. He was just seven years old when his family made the move to the desert, chasing a healthier climate for a boy who needed one. Tucson became home, and Charlie grew up alongside his brothers Cecil and John, graduating from Amphi High School in 1968.

Cars found him early. Fresh out of high school, Charlie took a job at a local auto parts store, and it wasn't long before he was fixing cars for family and friends on the side — teaching himself the trade one engine at a time. When he was later laid off from a mining job with two young sons to support, Charlie didn't look for another employer. He turned his own single-car garage into a shop, and before long his street was lined bumper-to-bumper with neighbors' cars waiting on him.

That garage became C.C. Automotive in 1981. For 35 years, Charlie built a reputation Tucson still talks about: straight answers, fair prices, and repairs done right the first time. He passed away on April 6, 2016, leaving behind a shop, a standard, and a family determined to keep both alive.

Today, his youngest son Tony carries the business forward, with his Uncle John still by his side. The name on the sign hasn't changed, and neither has the promise behind it: honest work, no surprises, since 1981.

It can be anything from a loose gas cap to a serious engine or emissions issue — the light alone won't tell you which. We scan the actual fault codes and inspect the real cause before recommending any repair, so you're never guessing or paying for work you don't need.

For most modern vehicles it's every 5,000–7,500 miles with synthetic oil, but it depends on your make, model, and how you drive. We'll check your owner's manual specs and tell you straight — not just push a mileage sticker.

It's one of the things we're known for around Tucson. Lift kits, suspension work, custom exhaust, and alignments on trucks and off-road rigs — we've built a real reputation on this kind of work, not just daily-driver maintenance.

We regularly work on vehicles from Oro Valley, Marana, Catalina Foothills, South Tucson, and Sahuarita — easy in, easy out right off Stone Ave.
