Oil is the lifeblood of every standard vehicle on the road. It's crucial to regularly check your oil and schedule oil change service for your car to ensure it runs properly. Regular service also allows us to check for leaks in your engine that could shorten your vehicle's lifespan and lead to other avoidable problems.
Rotating your vehicle's tires is important for maintaining and managing treadwear on your tires, and in some cases is required in order to preserve your tires' warranty.
We can service, replace, and repair exhaust systems, catalytic converters, tailpipes, and mufflers. Ensuring these systems are working properly is key to elongating the life of your vehicle and maintaining optimal performance.
Proper wheel and tire alignment helps your car's tires last longer, increases fuel economy, and improves your vehicle's handling. Our highly-trained tire alignment experts are ready to provide you the reliable, quality service you need to get back on the road.
Your vehicle's shocks, struts, and suspension are key components to ensure your vehicle's performance and a more comfortable ride. As such, it's important to properly maintain these components on your vehicle.
Nothing ruins a day faster than a dead car battery. Many factors could lead to your car not starting — a bad battery, failed alternator, or worn-out starter are just a few examples.
Our highly-trained auto technicians and mechanics have decades of experience diagnosing, repairing, and replacing worn out car batteries. We understand how important a reliable car battery is for your car or truck to run and operate reliably. Every car battery replacement and installation we perform uses trusted brands and comes with a limited warranty on parts and service.
There's not much worse than getting in your car, turning that key and seeing that little exclamation point icon telling you that you have low tire pressure. But if you just filled up your tires yesterday and you're still seeing that warning, it may be time to replace your vehicle's TPMS sensor.

So appreciative of this shop, especially Lou. I got new tires and brakes here a little over a month ago. They were great then but I am even more appreciative now.
Today I called panicked after noticing a strange metal chunk in my tire while I was in the middle of making multiple stops to get the kids from after school. I just got off work, my lovely children are being very loud, I just got the bumper repaired after being rear ended and now this. I'm stressed about spending more money and time on a fix.
Lou was calm and empathetic, told me to pop by when I could. I get there a little over an hour before closing and he immediately investigates, tests it out and it ended up being good news.
Thank you, Lou! My day took a turn for the worse and your kindness really made a difference. I will definitely come back to this shop whenever I need more work done.

I visited Mavis today and my my Lou my service person I can not say enough about how he made me feel relaxed and at eased throuhout the entire process from beginning to the end. And the mechanics Josh and Orin we're very very nice took care of all of my needs they explained the processes clearly and with complete confidence. I'm visiting from Georgia had great conversations while I waited I would definitely recommend to my daughter who lives here to make this place for her #1 for car maintenance in the future and I just want to say thank you to all the guys here today... Oh please let me forget to mention Rick for his support!

Mavis...what a joke of a auto mechanics shop. Bring your vehicle here if you wish to deal with inept staff who require you to take them for a test drive to personally show them a violent vibration in the pedals, that was otherwise undetectable by their world class auto expert staff. This comes after a full replacement of front brakes. And a dishonest sendoff with assurance the issue is resolved...(it wasn't). Laughable to even halfway suggest so. I'd let my 3 year old neice service my car before I ever took it to the geniuses over at Mavis again.

I came in to replace a single tire on my Toyota Rav 4. When Lou checked me in, I asked for his advice on replacing my tire. He reassured me that the tire I selected was good one, aka no up-selling! Evan M was my tech. He was efficient and encouraged any questions I may have about the service. I felt like those working at this location really enjoy their job and it shows in how they treat their customers!

Excellent Service & Great Experience
I visited this shop yesterday to repair a stripped/broken wheel stud on my car, and I had an excellent experience.
The person at the front desk was very welcoming and told me they would take a look at the car and figure out what was wrong. The technician, Italo J., was extremely professional, gentle, and knowledgeable. He spent almost an hour carefully checking the issue, removed the tire, and repaired the wheel stud. He also checked and fixed the stud on both of my tires.
What impressed me most was the price—they charged me only $85 for the entire repair. I had previously checked with another nearby auto center, and they quoted me more than $500 for essentially the same work.
I highly recommend this place. They are honest, straightforward, professional, and reasonably priced. It’s not every day you find a repair shop that provides this kind of service without overcharging. Truly a great experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
