Our Complete Services

More On Our Auto Service Specialties

A/C Repair & Service

Your auto A/C system is responsible for cooling, purifying, and circulating air, which it does through a complex system of components, including a condenser, compressor, drive belt, and evaporator. Like most aspects of car maintenance, treating a problem with your vehicle’s A/C system early, when only one of these components is worn, can prevent the need for a more expensive repair down the road. At Merit Auto Service, we handle all types of auto A/C service, from a simple recharge to diagnostics and air conditioning repair.

Alignments, Suspension, Shocks & Struts

Your wheels and suspension system are what keep your car stable while you’re steering. If your ride is noticeably bumpier or rougher than it used to be, your vehicle pulls to one side during turns, or if the front or back of the car lurches forward when stopping, these are all signs you may need a wheel alignment and/or your suspension system isn’t working properly and needs service. It is best to get any issues with your wheel alignment, suspension, shocks, and struts dealt with quickly as a failure of any of the components can be a major safety risk.

Electrical Diagnostics & Repair

At Merit Auto Service, accurate auto diagnostics are a major priority. Our mechanics use top-of-the-line, up-to-date equipment to diagnose all your vehicle’s possible engine and electrical problems, never guessing and always getting to the root of the issue. Plus, our diagnostics and repairs are always guaranteed, so you can be confident we will not waste your money on unnecessary repairs. Don’t hesitate to contact us if your check engine light is on or you’re experiencing an auto electrical malfunction.

Engine Repair & Replacement

Sometimes investing in a new vehicle is not an option, or maybe you’re not ready to retire a vehicle that you love or that still has a lot going for it. The engine repair and replacement experts at Merit Auto Service have the know-how and experience to break down, clean, and re-assemble your failing engine block with a rebuilt replacement engine to prolong the lifespan of your vehicle. In many cases, with the right engine repair, we can gain you years on a vehicle you may have thought had driven its last mile.

Scheduled Maintenance

For factory scheduled maintenance, such as oil changes and 30K, 60K, 90K, and 120K mile service, you do not have to go to the dealer to maintain your car’s warranty. Under federal law, you are allowed to have your vehicle serviced by a competent independent auto repair shop, so long as you stick to the intervals specified in your owner’s manual, keep good records, and ensure all your invoices include the date of service, odometer reading, make, model, VIN, and parts used. Rest assured, Merit Auto Service has you covered.

Transmission Repair & Service

For big, complicated jobs, like transmission repair and service, you can feel confident bringing your vehicle to Merit Auto Service. Our ASE-certified mechanics are qualified to handle transmission rebuilds, transmission replacements, clutch repair, and other transmission-related services for automatic, standard, and overdrive transmissions. In many cases, you’ll need to weigh the pros and cons of committing to a transmission repair. We’ll help you make a smart decision based on your needs and budget.
