Shuttle Service

Motor Works offers a customer shuttle service to lessen the inconvenience of being without your “wheels”. Shown below is Dan, one of our service writers. He is headed out to pick up a customer whose car we just finished. Auto repair is about people first, then cars.

Got a problem with your car, give us a call.

We can then discuss time, costs, any required additional testing. etc. Nothing beats an initial free inspection as a way to begin the repair process.

Eco-Friendly

  • Motor Works recycles tires, Freon, and fluids such as engine oil, transmission fluid, and antifreeze.
  • Parts and fluids are bought in bulk to avoid bottles reaching landfills.
