About Weekend Auto Pros

Weekend Auto Pros was founded on a simple belief: drivers deserve honest, high-quality auto repair backed by expert service and transparent pricing.

At Weekend Auto Pros, our name comes from how the business first began — built after long days at our full-time jobs and almost entirely on the weekends. What started as late nights helping friends and family with honest automotive repairs quickly grew into a business founded on transparency, quality workmanship, and doing right by people. After years of seeing customers overcharged for unnecessary repairs and overpriced maintenance services, we set out to create an auto repair shop focused on honest recommendations and dependable service. Backed by decades of combined experience, our certified technicians provide dealership-level automotive repair, diagnostics, maintenance, and performance services at fair, transparent prices. We proudly service domestic, German, European, Japanese, Korean, and import vehicles with the same care and attention we built our reputation on from day one. As a locally owned and operated auto repair shop, we're committed to keeping our community safe and confident on the road through trusted, professional automotive service.
