THIS is what a shop should be about- you will know it when you meet Cody, Audie and the team. You will also find out that integrity lives here and can trust the job will be done right. My 2016 Passat has been a great car (105k mi.) but now it's even better than new with full replacement of brake rotors, pads, shocks, struts, and coils plus alignment. Tuned and purring like a Porsche. I wish I had found them sooner and now they're stuck with me. You will not regret a decision to trust them with your vehicle. Do it!

At The Auto Clinic in El Paso, TX, we know that transmissions are witchcraft to most people. More often than not, if major damage has occurred, it’s a lot more time and cost-effective to just replace the entire unit and get a fresh start. Our trained technicians at The Auto Clinic want to keep you informed so you are aware of what to look out for.
