ABOUT US
A Shop Built on Handshakes, Not Hard Sells
When Marcus opened Hoist Auto, the goal was simple: be the kind of shop you'd send your family to. No pressure, no mystery charges, no "you need this or your car will explode" scare tactics.
That's still how we work — same values, same team that knows your name and remembers what we fixed last time. We're not the cheapest shop in town, and we're not the flashiest. But we are the one your neighbors keep coming back to.

WHAT WE DO
Complete Auto Care — All Makes & Models
From routine oil changes to complex engine work, our team handles it all under one roof.
Engine Diagnostics & Repair
Check engine light? Strange noises? We use advanced diagnostics to pinpoint the issue — then fix it right.
Brake Service & Safety
Pads, rotors, calipers, and fluid flush. Your family's safety is non-negotiable — neither is our brake work.
Oil Change & Maintenance
Conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic. Plus filter, fluid check, and multi-point inspection every time.
Heating & A/C
From A/C recharge to compressor replacement, we keep you comfortable year-round. Don't suffer another summer.
Suspension & Steering
Shocks, struts, alignment, tie rods. If your ride is rough or your car pulls to one side, we'll restore smooth handling.
Electrical & Battery
Dead battery? Dim lights? Parasitic drain? Our electrical diagnostics find what others miss.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Trusted by Your Neighbors
“I've been bringing my cars here for 6 years. They're honest, fair, and always explain what needs to be done vs. what can wait. Rare to find a shop you can trust completely.”
Mike R.Toyota Camry owner“My check engine light came on during a road trip. They got me in same-day, diagnosed the issue quickly, and had me back on the road by afternoon. Lifesavers.”
Sarah T.Honda Civic owner“After the dealer quoted a big repair, I brought it here for a second opinion. Turned out I only needed a much smaller repair. They could have easily taken advantage.”
James K.BMW 3 Series owner“They texted me photos of what they found under my car. I could see the worn parts myself. That kind of transparency is why I'll never go anywhere else.”
David P.Chevy Silverado owner“Brought my daughter's car in for a weird noise. They found it in 20 minutes, showed me the issue, and fixed it. The dealer wanted to keep it overnight and bill by the hour.”
Robert A.Subaru Outback owner
