How long will my car repair take?

Repair time depends on the issue and parts availability, but we always aim for same-day service when possible. We also offer shuttle service and loaner vehicles to keep your day moving.

Do you service electric vehicles and hybrids?

Yes! Our shops are fully equipped to handle EV and hybrid diagnostics, maintenance, and repairs. From Teslas to Toyota Priuses, we’ve got you covered.

How often should I get an oil change?

We recommend replacing engine oil every 3,000 miles for semi-synthetic oil and every 5,000 miles for synthetic oil.  Some manufacturers do recommend longer oil change intervals, but at our full service facilities we have seen the long term effects on the internal components of engines due to prolonged oil changes, which is why we recommend these intervals.

What does it mean when my check engine light is on?

Your check engine light can signal anything from a loose gas cap to a serious engine issue. Don’t ignore it, bring your vehicle to one of our six locations for a quick health check.

Can I drop off my car outside business hours?

Yes! We offer after hours key drop and flexible scheduling. Just let us know when booking online or by phone.

At Paul Campanella’s Auto Centers, we understand the bad reputation the auto repair industry sometimes gets, and we’re here to change that. You’ll never be “upsold” or pressured into repairs you don’t need. That’s our promise.
