Before & After Renovations, Upgrades, and a Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Work Being Done

Welcome to Auto Tech – A Fresh Start in Collinsville Va


Big changes are underway for Auto Tech, and we’re excited to bring our customers along for the journey. As many already know, we are officially moving our entire operation to our new shop located at 4173 Virginia Ave, Collinsville, VA. This move gives us the opportunity to improve our space, upgrade our equipment, and create an even better experience for every customer who trusts us with their vehicle.

Before we open the doors, we wanted to give you a sneak peek at some of the renovation progress happening inside.

Before & After: Bathroom Remodel

One of the first areas we focused on was the customer bathroom. In the old shop, space was tight and the layout wasn’t ideal. At the new location, we took the time to completely refresh the room from the ground up.

Before

  • Dark walls
  • Aged flooring
  • Outdated layout and lighting

After

  • Fresh wood-look flooring
  • Clean white and blue beadboard walls
  • Bright trim work
  • Updated sink and fixtures
  • A modern, clean look that matches the branding of Auto Tech

The goal was simple: create a space that feels clean, fresh, and professional from the moment you walk in.

Hallway Improvements: From Dark to Modern

The hallway leading into the service area got a major transformation as well. The original hall was dark, worn, and in need of attention. Now, the space has been completely updated with:

  • New flooring
  • Smooth blue walls
  • Clean, bright white trim
  • Updated lighting for a more welcoming feel

This hallway sets the tone for the entire shop — clean, open, and ready for customers.

Hands-On Work From the Owner

Every renovation project is personal for us. Eric has been hands-on throughout the entire process — painting, repairing, installing, and overseeing every detail.

We pride ourselves on doing things the right way, and that mindset applies just as much to the building as it does to your vehicle.

Why the Move Matters

Auto Tech has served Martinsville and the surrounding area for over 18 years, and moving to Collinsville allows us to offer:

  • More space for repairs, diagnostics, and maintenance
  • Better parking and traffic flow for drop-offs and pick-ups
  • Updated equipment for faster and more accurate service
  • A cleaner, more comfortable customer experience
  • Central location right on Virginia Ave

Same team. Same trusted service. Bigger, better, modern facility.

Opening Date + What to Expect Next

We will officially open the new shop on:

📅 December 8th, 2025
📍
4173 Virginia Ave, Collinsville, VA

Over the coming weeks, we’ll continue to post updates on the building, equipment upgrades, new signs, and the final setup of Auto Tech.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us through this move — we can’t wait to welcome you to our new location.
