Now Open: Castle Hills and Allen Satellite Service Centers

To better serve our growing customer base, we’re proud to announce the launch of our Satellite Service Center in Castle Hills and Allen. These locations are designed with your convenience in mind, offering a unique solution to the everyday frustrations of auto repair.

The Hassles of Traditional Auto Repair Are Over

Lets face it – nobody likes being without their vehicle, on average, customer wait over 5 days for service appointments, and thats not including delays from juggling rides, missing work, or sitting in traffic.

Worse yet, 26% of drivers delay needed repairs by more than two weeks, risking more costly damage. Our satellite model changes that with:

Self-Service Drop-Off

Skip the wait. Fill out a quick form at our satellite center, leave your keys in our secure dropbox, and we’ll take it from there.

Loaner Cars to Keep You Moving

We offer loaner vehicles so your day doesn’t skip a beat. Whether you’re commuting to work or picking up the kids, we’ve got you covered. Call ahead to arrange a loaner vehicle.

Dealership-Level Repairs Without The Dealership Price

Your car will be service at one of our full-service repair hubs by ASE-certified technicians. We use the latest diagnostic tools and OEM-grade parts to ensure long lasting quality.

Transparent Estimates and Prioritized Service

We believe in putting you in control. Thats why we offer detailed digital estimates and let you decide which repairs to prioritize based on your budget and needs.

Complimentary Car Wash Included

Because a clean car equals a soother ride. We return your vehicle looking as good as it runs.

Most customers haven’t seen anything like this before, a shop without a shop. When I explain how it works, there’s always that moment where it clicks. Once they realize we’ll come to them, pick up their car, and have it back to them the same day, the reaction is almost always positive. A lot of our customers are busy – commuters, parents, people who can’t afford to lose a day. The satellite center puts us right in their neighborhood, and the pick-up and delivery takes the last bit of friction out of it. They go about their day and their car is fixed when they get home. That’s what we’re going for.  – Dennis Daley, Service Advisor, Fifth Gear Automotive Allen

  • No more time off work
  • No long waits for service
