Why Choose Auto Tech Instead of the Dealer?

Eric Wray • October 15, 2025

Same quality. Better price. Local service you can trust.

1. We Save You Money Without Cutting Corners

Dealerships often charge $150–$200 per hour for labor and mark up parts heavily.
At
Auto Tech, we use the same high-quality parts — often from the same suppliers dealers use — but at a fair price.

You’ll always get honest, up-front estimates with no surprises.
Why pay dealership prices when you can get the same quality work for less?

💰 Our customers saved thousands last year — you can too!

2. Specialized Repairs the Dealer Overprices

Dealers love high-priced “specialty” jobs. We love saving you money on them.

  • Diagnostics — We get to the root cause faster, saving you time and frustration.
  • Engine Repairs & Replacements — Cost-effective solutions that keep you on the road.
  • Timing Belt Service — Complete packages including water pump and tensioner for long-term reliability.
  • AC & Heating Repairs — From R134a to R1234yf systems, we keep your vehicle comfortable year-round.

🔧 Let’s fix it right the first time — and keep your wallet happy.

3. We Work for YOU, Not a Manufacturer

At Auto Tech, our loyalty is to you, not factory quotas or manufacturer goals.
You’ll get
honest advice, not pressure to replace parts you don’t need.

👨‍🔧 We fix what’s needed — not what’s profitable for a dealership.

4. Same Technology, Better Service

We’ve invested in advanced diagnostic equipment that matches or even outperforms dealer tools.
Combine that with our
certified, experienced technicians and personalized service, and it’s easy to see why so many Collinsville drivers choose Auto Tech.

🚗 Same technology. Friendlier faces. Faster turnaround.

5. Supporting Local Business

Every time you choose Auto Tech, you support local jobs and families right here in Henry County.
We’re proud to offer a
nationwide 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty for your peace of mind.

❤️ Thank you for keeping your business local. We’re proud to serve you!
