Do you service American and Asian vehicles?

Can I have my vehicle serviced at AUTOWERKES instead of the dealership?

Yes. AUTOWERKES offers Pennsylvania state safety inspections and applicable emissions inspections.

Parts selection depends on the vehicle, repair, and availability. We can discuss appropriate replacement options before repairs are authorized.

Yes. We offer wheel alignment services using Hunter alignment equipment to improve handling and reduce uneven tire wear.

Can you diagnose my check engine light?

Yes. We diagnose check engine lights and other vehicle performance issues to identify the underlying problem before recommending repairs.
