Why Choose Affordable Auto Repair
We believe that being the cheapest isn’t always Affordable. If we sold you tires for 25% less than the competition, but our tires wore out in half the time, did we really save you any money? Being Affordable means giving the best possible service at the best possible prices. We want to give every customer a high quality, long lasting repair that we can stand behind. In fact, most repairs we perform come with a 36 month, 36-thousand-mile nationwide warranty through Napa Auto Care.
Affordable Auto Repair On every visit, our technicians will perform a digital inspection. This means that our technicians can actually show you what services they are recommending by taking pictures and videos. We don’t know of any better way to build your trust than to show you exactly what we found with your vehicle. It makes it easy to see how critical a repair or maintenance item is, and whether or not it can wait until your next visit. Our trained advisors can help you make a plan for your vehicle’s long term health, all while respecting your budget.
