Services Overview

Knowledge is Power

We believe that the more you know about your vehicle, the more informed you are as a customer of automotive repair services. That is why we created these services pages, to be completely transparent about how we perform each service, how much they cost, which are the most important, and which can wait. The more you know the better, and we are confident that we will gain your trust by drawing the curtains and giving you a behind the scenes look at what we do everyday at Local Motors.

Whenever possible, we include in-depth articles about every service type. This goes along with sliders indicating the time and expense associated, and detailed Frequently Asked Questions so you know what to expect when you come into the shop. An honest mechanic is a transparent mechanic.
