Your Trusted Charleston Auto Repair Experts
A+ Auto Service has been family-owned and operated since 2004, serving the Lowcountry with comprehensive automotive solutions. We began as a major repair shop and successfully navigated the 2008 recession, emerging stronger by expanding our services to become a full-service automotive center in 2010. Our 2019 rebranding and acquisition of the Summerville location marked a new era of growth, driven by our commitment to customer satisfaction and industry-leading 4-year/48,000-mile warranty. Our ASE-certified technicians combine technical expertise with Christian values, prioritizing transparency, integrity, and community impact. We maintain two locations in Summerville and North Charleston, offering routine maintenance, major repairs, and customization services while ensuring all work meets our exacting standards. Our dedication to quality is reflected in our NAPA Auto Care Center affiliation and Nationwide Gold certification, which guarantee premium parts and service. We emphasize customer education, providing clear explanations of all repairs and maintaining open communication throughout the service process. Our free shuttle service within a 3-mile radius and same-day repair capabilities demonstrate our commitment to convenience. As a locally owned business, we reinvest in our community while maintaining national service standards. Our team's combined decades of experience ensure accurate diagnostics and lasting repairs, from engine rebuilds to collision restoration. We continuously invest in advanced diagnostic tools and technician training to stay at the forefront of automotive technology. Our customer-centric approach has earned us consistent five-star reviews and a loyal client base that trusts us with their vehicles' long-term health.

Report
Extremely good quality of the services. Yavor (the owner of the detailing studio) was extremely nice and friendly when providing me with professional advices for my needs. The services they offer are done professionally and with attention to the detail. I am more than happy that there are such businesses as this one. It's rarely to find such customer oriented professionals. Their prices are fair and I can't wait for my next visit. I highly recommend the services of A+ Auto Care detailing studio! Keep up with the good work boys :)
