Built by a Family.
For Families.
Pablo and Cindy Zaldivar started Jr.'s Auto Repair with a single promise: treat every customer the way you'd want your own family treated.

Pablo Zaldivar
Pablo grew up taking things apart to understand how they worked. By the time he was a teenager, he was already rebuilding small engines in his backyard. That curiosity turned into a career — and eventually, a business built on the belief that good auto repair isn't complicated. It's just honest work done by someone who cares.
After earning his ASE master technician certification and spending years working for other shops, Pablo realized he wanted to build something different: a place where the diagnosis was always honest, the price was always fair, and the customer always left knowing exactly what was done to their vehicle and why.
In 2012, he opened Jr.'s Auto Repair — named for the next generation he was building it for. Today, he still turns wrenches himself. That's not an accident. It's a choice.
Cindy Zaldivar
Every great shop has someone who makes everything run. At Jr.'s, that's Cindy. While Pablo focuses on what happens in the bays, Cindy runs the business side — customer relationships, scheduling, bookkeeping, and the hundred invisible things that keep a small business alive.
Cindy also happens to be the reason Jr.'s has the reputation it does for communication and customer care. She believes that how you treat someone when they're stressed about their car is just as important as how well you fix it. That philosophy is baked into everything.
She and Pablo are a team in every sense — at home and at work. Jr.'s is named for their kids, and those kids are growing up watching their parents build something they can be proud of.

Named for the Kids.
Built for the Future.
Jr.'s Auto Repair got its name from something simple: Pablo wanted to build something his children could be proud of. Something that stood for doing things right.
The Eldest
Already taking apart bikes and helping Pablo in the garage on weekends. The apple didn't fall far.
The Middle
The creative one. Has already designed three 'logos' for the shop and decorated the waiting room with school art.
The Youngest
Still learning to walk through the shop, but already knows how to wave at every customer that comes through the door.
"We named it Jr.'s because this isn't just a business. It's what we're leaving behind for them. Every car we fix right, every customer who trusts us — that's the foundation we're building on."
— Pablo Zaldivar
Our Story
Over 20 years in the making.
Learning the Trade
Pablo began working in auto shops across southern Idaho, learning every system from the ground up under experienced mechanics.
Master Technician
After years of hands-on work, Pablo earned his master technician certification — able to diagnose and repair any vehicle make or model.
Junior's Opens
Pablo and Cindy opened Jr.'s Auto Repair on Main Ave in Twin Falls with two bays, two lifts, and a commitment to honest work.
Growing the Family
As the Zaldivar family grew, so did the shop. Added a third bay and started taking on apprentices from the community.
Magic Valley's Choice
Crossed 500 five-star reviews. The community had spoken — Jr.'s became the most trusted name in auto repair in Magic Valley.
13 Years Strong
Still family-owned, still personally run by Pablo. Every repair order still reviewed and approved by the man whose name is on the door.
