What Our Customer Are Saying

Amazing experience! Servicenter is the only place that’s gotten my Subaru completely fixed — not half-done like other shops I’ve dealt with. They were prompt, honest, reasonable, and very thorough. The staff were kind, friendly, and trustworthy. They even cleaned the engine bay which was definitely going the extra mile. I really appreciate the quality of their work and will definitely return!

Lillian Lowery

I had a set of brake lines made at this shop and was very impressed by their quality of work and customer service. Thank you Servicecenter Radiator & Auto! I will be using your shop again! Update 8 months later: I used their shop again for some custom brake lines. As usual, great craftsmanship and customer service. These guys are great!

Cole Sanders

If I could give this business 10 STARS, I would. I took in an older car to get the air conditioning fixed. I really was not expecting good news. I was delighted after the diagnosis, they not only got the AC charged and working but also fixed the air blowing into the car. They went out of the way to present cheaper options for the repairs, if needed. The final cost was a about 25% of what I thought I would have to pay. This company has a customer for life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I drop off my vehicle before or after business hours?

Yes. We offer an after-hours drop-off option so you can leave your vehicle at your convenience. Just let us know ahead of time, and we’ll make sure everything is set up for a smooth drop-off process.

Do you work on both foreign and domestic vehicles?

Yes. We service all major foreign and domestic makes and models, providing reliable repairs, maintenance, and diagnostics for nearly every type of car or light truck on the road.

How often should I get my car serviced?

Most vehicles should be serviced every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on the make, model, and driving conditions. Regular maintenance—like oil changes, brake inspections, fluid checks, and tune-ups—helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your car running safely and efficiently. If you notice unusual noises, dashboard warning lights, or changes in performance, it’s best to bring your vehicle in sooner. Your owner’s manual will also list the recommended service intervals for your specific car.

How long does a typical repair take?

Timing depends on the type of service. Oil changes and basic maintenance usually take 30–60 minutes, while larger repairs depend on parts availability and the complexity of the issue. We’ll always give you an estimated completion time before starting any work.

What is included in a standard tune-up?

A standard tune-up focuses on restoring your engine’s performance and preventing future problems. It typically includes replacing spark plugs, inspecting ignition components, checking filters, inspecting belts and hoses, cleaning the throttle body, and testing the battery and charging system. We also scan for diagnostic codes, check fluid levels, and perform a full visual inspection to ensure your vehicle is running smoothly and efficiently.

How do I know if my brakes need replacing?

Common signs your brakes need attention include squeaking or grinding noises, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibration when stopping, longer stopping distances, or a dashboard brake warning light. You may also notice pulling to one side or a burning smell after braking. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to have your brakes inspected right away to ensure safe, reliable stopping performance.

What should I do if my check engine light comes on?

If your check engine light comes on, it’s best to have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. A steady light usually means a non-urgent issue, but it still needs attention to prevent further damage. If the light is flashing, it indicates a more serious problem—such as a misfire—that could damage the engine, and you should avoid driving if possible. Bring your vehicle in for a diagnostic scan so we can identify the exact issue and recommend the right repair.

Do I need an appointment, or do you accept walk-ins?

Appointments are recommended to ensure the fastest service, but walk-ins are welcome whenever our schedule allows. Call ahead and we’ll do our best to get you in quickly.
