5-star review by Hosea Cook

"I have been going to Sparks for a long time and the reason is their attention to detail and customer service. No matter what I come in for, they always take the time to sit down and explain exactly what issues they diagnosed and what it would cost to fix it. 30+ years as an owner/operator should be celebrated. Thank you, Sparks!"

5-star review by Brian Westly

"I had a great experience here! My 2005 Honda Civic had an oil leak. Sparks repaired the issue and cleaned up the engine at a reasonable price, and they told me to let them know if I see any further issues. I plan to return for future repairs. Thanks!"

5-star review by Brian Milchak

"The best repair shop in many miles.  These guys are too good to go anywhere else, period.  Trustworthy, best prices, and beyond a doubt the best customer service I have experienced.  The fact they have loaner cars is even better.  It's saved my bacon a few times."

Popular Services

We make it easy to care for your car with expert, affordable services


Oil Change

Regular oil changes are essential to keeping your engine clean, lubricated, and protected from premature wear. Fresh oil helps regulate engine temperature, reduce friction between moving parts, and prevent harmful buildup that can impact performance. Timely oil service also supports fuel efficiency and extends the life of your engine, making it one of the most important routine maintenance services for any vehicle.

Brake Service

Brake service is critical for maintaining safe stopping power and overall vehicle control. Worn brake components can increase stopping distances, cause noise or vibration, and compromise driving safety. Routine brake inspections and service help ensure pads, rotors, and hydraulic components function properly, giving drivers confidence and reliable performance in everyday driving conditions.

Engine Replacement

Engine replacement provides a dependable solution when internal engine damage affects reliability or drivability. Severe wear, overheating, or mechanical failure can make replacement more practical than repeated repairs. A properly installed replacement engine restores performance, improves dependability, and helps extend the usable life of the vehicle while supporting long-term ownership value.

Transmission Service

Transmission service plays a key role in smooth shifting and efficient power delivery. Over time, transmission fluid degrades and loses its ability to protect internal components, leading to performance issues or wear. Routine transmission maintenance helps preserve drivability, reduce heat buildup, and support long-term reliability of one of the vehicle’s most complex systems.
