Oil Changes
Regular oil changes prevent engine wear and maintain performance. Our technicians use manufacturer-recommended oils and replace filters to extend engine life. Synthetic options available for enhanced protection. Proper lubrication improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions while preventing overheating and sludge buildup.
Brake Repair
We diagnose and repair disc, drum, and ABS brake systems to ensure safety. Services include pad replacement, rotor resurfacing, fluid flushes, and emergency brake adjustments. Advanced diagnostics identify wear patterns early, preventing costly damage while maintaining stopping power in Wisconsin's variable conditions.
Tire Sales
We offer premium tire brands with expert installation and alignment. Technicians perform computerized balancing and rotation to maximize tread life. Seasonal changeovers and pressure checks maintain traction and fuel efficiency while specialized equipment accommodates low-clearance vehicles for comprehensive service access.
Engine Diagnostics
Computerized diagnostics identify check engine light issues and performance problems. Our technicians analyze sensor data, fuel systems, and ignition components to resolve misfires, stalling, or reduced power. Comprehensive inspections cover timing belts, water pumps, and emission controls for complete engine health assessments.
Transmission Service
We service automatic and manual transmissions with fluid changes, leak repairs, and component replacements. Specialized tools diagnose shifting issues, torque converter problems, and clutch wear. Preventative maintenance extends transmission life while addressing unusual noises or gear engagement delays restores proper function.

Very impressive waiting and service area. Updated and very busy. Downside is that it is hard to get last minute appointment in case of urgent help since they are so busy.

Had a very bad experience there! Got ripped off on windshield wipers. Paid $191 in April and had a 12 month, 12,000 mile "warranty" on them but apparently they only fixed the "windshield wiper linkage" which was not a part of the warranty and then told me it would be $367 to fix the windshield wiper motor! Why wouldn't they just fix the motor to begin with? Either way, they don't stand behind their work. Then they tried to charge me for diagnosing the issue WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A WARRANTY ON IT. Don't go there unless you have tons of money to piss away.

3 weeks ago I brought my son's Mini Cooper in for service as it had an idle problem and the check engine light is on. They said it needs a good tune up and new ignition coils and an oil change. Quote me over the phone when they called me for the go ahead a price in the upper $600's. I okay it. Get there later to pick it up, the price is over $900. They cheerfully acknowledge that they told me the price was in the $600's and say that they didn't include a diagnostic charge and an oil change. Grrrr I pay it anyway.
Next several days of driving, the idle problem returns and the check engine light pops on again. Call to make an for Friday Oct 4 as I had a day off. Drop the car off by 8am and.hearing nothing by 5pm I call them and yeah, they didn't work on it-they hadn't even looked at it. They assure me it will be done today, Saturday Oct 4. They just called at 11:30am, and nope, they are NOT going to have time to look at it. So they assure me that Monday it will be done. I can't to find out on Monday if the third time will be the charm!

Have used other Matthews tires locations, no problem. Every time I come to this location ( Van Roy Rd )I sit for hours. Even for just an oil change, with an appointment, it's at least an hour. Very SLOW!
