My car shook whenever I hit the breaks, for years. I took it to other mechanics who blamed the tires. Hundreds of dollars later, I still had this issue. But after taking my car to Travis at Century Automotive, I finally got answers! Travis said that my rotors needed to be resurfaced. The work was done quickly and…
Absolutely the best mechanic I’ve ever been to, they are honest, kind, quick and do a great job. Highly highly recommend this shop.
I am honestly reluctant to review this shop because I want to keep it my own special secret. Alas they are deserving of all the praise and the business. We bring both our foreign and domestic cars here and trust them completely. They are honest, direct, and extremely knowledgeable. They will even go a step beyond…

Expert repair shop with an owner who clearly loves his work. might be pricey.
My car shook whenever I hit the breaks, for years. I took it to other mechanics who blamed the tires. Hundreds of dollars later, I still had this issue. But after taking my car to Travis at Century Automotive, I finally got answers! Travis said that my rotors needed to be resurfaced. The work was done quickly and affordably, and he even made me aware of an issue with my oil pan that I had no idea about. Now, I am wary of someone telling me about a problem they can sell me a solution for, but that wasn't his aim. He just told me some issues that might come up, because of it, and what to keep an eye out for. This is my new mechanic right here. Honest, reliable, affordable, kind!

I am honestly reluctant to review this shop because I want to keep it my own special secret. Alas they are deserving of all the praise and the business. We bring both our foreign and domestic cars here and trust them completely. They are honest, direct, and extremely knowledgeable. They will even go a step beyond and suggest a dealership visit when they feel its the best option. No one enjoys having to have a car serviced, but these guys make it a pleasant experience every time.
- Price assessment: Reasonable price

Trustworthy and dependable!
Fantastic service... every time!
Look no further than Century Automotive for you auto repair needs. I found this place on google 8 years ago and so glad I did. Travis is incredibly honest, fair and genuine. His pricing was usually the most competitive, but that didn’t mean quality was sacrificed. What I appreciate is his willingness to give you options (if there are multiple) to fix a problem. He and his team serviced both my older cars multiple times. I never had an issue with their work or customer service. Do yourself a favor and call Travis
