RodVRod Auto Care Center at a glance

Customers consistently highlight the shop's honesty, fair pricing, and ability to diagnose complex mechanical issues quickly. Reviewers note that staff communicate clearly, avoid unnecessary repairs, and often complete same-day services for various vehicle types. The low-star feedback indicates a pattern where extended repair timelines coincided with unresolved mechanical problems or interior cleanliness issues, suggesting that complex jobs may face delays or quality control challenges.

Earlier today, I had some trouble with the driver’s side wheel of my Crosstour and needed repair immediately. I called and they said they could get me in today. They worked on the studs on the wheel hub for over a hour. They also rotated my tires as well. Andy was very professional throughout the entire process. If we ever need any automotive repair in the future, we will definitely come back!
