About the shop

Rob's shop, since 1997.

Car Guys Autoworks was established in 1997. Rob has spent decades in the auto repair business, and he runs the shop as a local, family owned business that strives to provide exceptional service at a reasonable price point.

Customers trust us with everything from late-model cars to a 1986. The approach stays the same: find the real problem, fix it in the most cost efficient way, and be straight with you about what can wait.

“Happy with their service. They got my vehicle in and repaired the same day I called. Many other shops told me they were booked out about three weeks. Will definitely use them again.”
