Our Services

We offer the following services for most vehicles. Contact us with your vehicle information to verify it is something we can repair. Some makes and models of foreign and exotic vehicles may be excluded.

  • Check engine light on? How about your ABS light? Most dash lights or warnings are just the start of the problem. Don't let cheap repairs become worse over time by ignoring them! There is no charge for running a check engine scan. Vehicle repair costs will vary.

  • Not sure what may be wrong with your vehicle? Want peace of mind before a long road trip? Considering buying a new vehicle? No matter what the reason, we are happy to inspect your vehicle for issues. General inspections start at $50 with comprehensive inspections starting at $120.

  • Car starting slow? Not starting at all? How about multiple clicks when you turn the key or press the button? It may be the battery! We offer battery testing and charging, as well as replacement when necessary. Prices vary depending on vehicle and part information.

  • When's the last time you had your cabin air filter changed? If you don't remember it's probably time! Engine running a bit rough? It may be time for a new filter. A dirty or clogged air filter can effect your vehicle quite a bit. Replacing your filters regularly can improve many things from how quickly your windows defrost in the winter, to reducing unwanted odors, and even making your car run more smoothly. It is recommended to get your air and cabin air filters replaced every 12,000-15,000 miles, though some may need it more frequently. Prices vary depending on vehicle and part information.

About Us

C.R. Automotive Repair has been in business since 2017, but car repair has been in the family for generations. When you come to C.R. Automotive, you can be sure you will receive exceptional service with a job done right.

I work out of a residential garage by appointment. Having less overhead than traditional automotive shops, I am able to charge up to 50% less for better quality work. Unlike corporations, I am able happy to take the time to look over your vehicle and find out exactly what it needs to get it running smoothly. I take pride in my work and you will be sure to receive honest feedback and reliable repair.

After the initial inspection I will provide you with a full rundown of any issues that were found, with recommendations on what the next steps should be.

We promise:

  • Fixed rate pricing based on the job, agreed upon before work begins.

  • You won't be charged more in labor for a job than what is agreed upon.

  • Anything found will be reported to you so that you can decide if we continue the repair as agreed upon, or add additional suggested repairs.

My goal is to keep you and your vehicle safely on the road without worry.
