BBQ Repair Doctor is a family-owned company, and we have spent more than 30 years on barbecue repair in Ventura County, along with grill cleaning and full restoration. Most repairs finish in a single visit, because the truck is stocked before it leaves the shop.
Call 818-392-8666 or drop us a note and we will schedule around you, often the same day.
Every visit starts with a proper diagnosis. Burners, igniters, venturi tubes, regulators and gas flow get checked as a matter of course, because a grill should be safe before anything else. If you ever smell gas, close the tank valve and follow the shutoff steps from SoCalGas before you call anyone. From there, we repair what failed. If the whole unit has seen better days, a complete restoration replaces the worn parts and keeps the body your island was built around.
From Ventura and Oxnard down through Port Hueneme, salt air works on burners and fasteners all year, and coastal grills age faster than inland ones because of it. Inland heat in Simi Valley and Moorpark dries out hoses and regulators just as reliably. We see both every week and we stock for both: corrosion-resistant burners, factory-grade igniters and the fittings coastal grills chew through fastest. It is a big part of why barbecue repair in Ventura County is a year-round trade for us.
Outdoor kitchens in Ventura County lean on the premium names, and we know them well: Alfresco, Blaze, Capital, Coyote, DCS, Fire Magic, Hestan, Kalamazoo, Lynx, TEC Sterling, Thermador, Twin Eagles, Viking, Weber and Wolf, along with everyday brands like Char-Broil and Nexgrill. Classic and discontinued models are welcome. Tracking down scarce parts is one of the things we are known for.
Our techs are in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Newbury Park, Oak Park and Agoura Hills almost daily, and Camarillo, Moorpark and Simi Valley are regular stops. We cover the coast through Ventura, Oxnard and Port Hueneme, and we head up to Ojai, Santa Paula and Fillmore on a steady rotation.
If you are near the county line, do not worry about maps. We run a full crew for BBQ repair in Los Angeles as well, so wherever you are between Ojai and the South Bay, you are inside our service area.
Three decades in the same county leaves a mark. We have serviced a few grills twice, under two different owners of the same house. This is what comes standard with every visit:
We hold same-day and next-day slots seven days a week, and morning calls have the best shot at getting us out before dinner, especially around Thousand Oaks and Camarillo.
Usually, yes. Corrosion is the most common reason homeowners here call us, and salt damage looks worse than it is. Burners, grates and fasteners take the beating first, and all of them are replaceable. If the frame or firebox has rusted through, we will show you exactly what we found before anything gets replaced.
On a quality grill, almost always. Restoration replaces the parts that wear and keeps the body, which is the part built to last. You also skip the demolition that comes with pulling a built-in out of an island. We walk you through what your specific grill needs before you decide.
Yes, and it is one of our most requested visits in the county. A full teardown cleaning strips every part, removes the grease and carbon that spoil flavor, and doubles as an inspection that catches failing parts early. It keeps small problems from turning into weekend-ruining ones.
One truck and one phone number cover the whole backyard. That has been the idea since the beginning. Fixing the grill but leaving a broken island around it is only half a job, so over the years we brought cleaning, restoration, outdoor kitchen work and oven service under one roof. Our own techs handle all of it, never subcontractors, and the quote and warranty work the same way no matter which service you book. These are the services we get called about most:
That is only half the list. We also fix ranges, stoves, fire pits, gas fireplaces, charcoal and electric grills and convection ovens, and we build custom BBQ islands too. The complete list lives on our services page.
Call 818-392-8666 and tell us what the grill is doing, or send the short form and we will call you back. Either way you end up with a time on the calendar and a grill that cooks the way it should.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help and look forward to connecting with you!
