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.

I needed new tires on my Jeep. Ryan was able to get me in quickly and get me a great price on a new set of tires. Highly recommended!

This place is horrible. Slower than climate change. Don't even waste your time making an appointment, they still screw that up. Took them 2hrs to install 4 tires for me, in the same 2hrs another customer got only 1 tire plugged and a 3rd customer was still waiting because they couldnt get his lugnuts off to fix a slow leak.

Had 2 separate experiences in three days. 1st guy was super nice gave me a great deal on two tires and put them on the rim for me. I asked if I could return on Monday to get 2 more and he said they would be available. On Monday I went to pick up the 2 tires I still needed and the price had somehow gone up $100. When I asked what had changed the woman responded with "I dont know what to tell you the price of tires changes everyday". Not a great way to retain customers. Will be using Tire Barn or Discount Tire as they stand by their quotes and prices. Dissapointed
