Our story

About Dikes-Thornton Automotive

For more than two decades, Dikes-Thornton Automotive has been fixing cars in Ventura the way we'd want them fixed for our own family. Owner Jayme Thornton and our team handle everything from routine maintenance to full diagnostics, including Audis and other imports that usually get sent back to the dealer.

We believe an honest shop shows its work. Every inspection comes with real photos and documentation, and we take the time to walk you through exactly what we found and why, whether it's a pre-purchase check, an independent second opinion, or a vehicle salvage inspection.

We use quality parts and stand behind every repair, and we'd rather point you toward the right fix than sell you work you don't need.

  • Photo-documented inspections
  • Independent second opinions
  • Audi & import experience
  • Vehicle salvage inspections

What customers say

“I had an independent inspection done a Dykes-Thornton after an issue with a dealership service. Jamey was very thorough with his inspection and documentation, and even took the time to answer all my questions and send me photos.”

“Jayme, the owner of Dike Thornton and staff worked diligently on my Audi. I've dealt with my fair share of automatic shops even direct through Audi service... this business is bar none the Best Automatic shop, I've EVER dealt with!”

Heather Yarian
