About Us

Authentic service you can trust.

Service the way it used to be!

Established in 1973 by Jeff Kinney in what was once a Phillips 66 gas station, family-owned Jeff’s Auto Service is a full-service, certified auto repair shop.  With same-day repair, national warranty (12 month/12,000 miles), and no hidden fees, Jeff’s Auto Service offers convenient, affordable auto care. We’ll answer your questions and offer solutions for your automotive issues so that you can make informed decisions. We treat every vehicle like it’s our own.

Jeff’s Auto Service earned the auto repair industry’s coveted Angie’s List Super Service Award. Our automotive experts provide quality service at competitive prices. We believe that quality service begins with quality employees. We offer ongoing training, meaningful work, fair compensation, and a safe work environment that encourages creativity, self-discipline, and growth.

We will be happy to review any estimate from a competitor’s shop or give you a second opinion. Many shops overlook the quality of parts being used, and dealerships often overcharge for their labor time. We charge fair prices with fewer overhead costs, and our services are warrantied. We can save you the money and time you would be wasting at dealerships and other shops. Why drive all over town for repairs when Jeff's takes care of them all? For your convenience, we also have after hours drop off available.

Jeff's Auto Service - Large enough to serve you and small enough to care!

Recently took my vehicle there for the first time for a water pump replacement. They were very friendly, did a great job, didn't charge me any extra fees above their quote, and got it done on time. Very happy with the experience....
